I Want To Pursue Bowling

Abigail's Cause and Effect. Manipulation, jealousy and revenge. Reasons to blame for the disgusting amount of hangings that took place in the Salem Witch Trials. What started off as a modest group of recalcitrant children, turned into a case of many innocent deaths. Even though some may say she went insane or had issues, I believe she was purely evil.

I found myself a few years later, in junior high, still wrestling and playing basketball. I knew the choice between the two would come eventually, but I thought that it would be a much easier choice. I ended choosing to continue in wrestling, and cut my basketball career short. I soon became one of the best wrestlers in my class. I won all but a few matches throughout my junior high wrestling career. I felt like I was on top of the world.

In a Baker Format game, you and your teammates will bowl toward one score. That is, rather than a typical league format in which you and your teammates each bowl 10 frames and your team score is the sum of each individual score, your entire team will combine to bowl 10 frames in a Baker match.

I have dabbled in a wide range of sports throughout my life- softball, soccer, swim,volleyball, track, etc. But for most of those sports my talents involved sitting the bench or getting water for the real stars. By my freshman year of high school I had pretty much given up on sports, spending all my spare time watching Netflix or laying around. My

Sports and Exercise have both played a large role in my life growing up as well as today. Growing up in elementary and middle school I participated in a variety of sports including soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, and tennis. When I moved into high school I decided to focus more on my studies. I competitively played tennis, and the others I played recreationally on my free time. These last few years in college exercise has been more of a prime focus. I enjoy running a few times a week as well as lifting at the gym.

So the debate about considering bowling as a sport has been a highly debatable issue among sport enthusiast. The polarizing differences in this debate come mainly from individual personal beliefs of what requirements a sport should have to be considered as such. That is to say, many consider the act of throwing a ball down an alley more of a leisure activity, while others who are more engaged in this activity see it as a buyable form of athletic activity. So considering the view points of both of these arguments, it is my honest personal belief that bowling is and should be considered a sport because it in-fact does seem to have all the qualities and symptoms that all confirmed sports share. My stance stance on this debate not only comes from

As of right now there are many activities that I would love to continue to participate in, but if I had to choose only one activity, I would have to go with Golf. Golf is a sport that teaches integrity, honor, patience, mental toughness, and many more though playing the game. These learned abilities are a vital part as a participant in the workforce, for they may teach us to be realistic, optimistic, motivated, and the ability to trust ones actions. Furthermore, I enjoy playing this sport, either as a competition in tournaments or just for fun with friends on my free

The history of bowling goes way back to the 3200BC when Sir Flinders Petrie found a colection of objects in a egyptions childs grave in the 1930’s, and today it is one of the most popular sports in the world. There are documents that show a form of bowling in England in 1366, when King Edward III banned it inorder to make the troops focused on archery practice. It also seems that bowling during King Henry VIII time at throne was much alive. At this time there were still many variations of “pin games”, such as lawn bowling “bocce”, petaque, or 9 pin. The English, Dutch, and German all brought there own versions of bowling over seas. The first “bowling alley” was actually outside and was for lawn bowling, it was established in New Yorks battery

In the long run, I stopped playing football and decided to come to Job Corps. I think I made the right decision but I still have the love of sports that I use to. I plan furthering my football career after Job Corps. I plan on going to ULL or the University of Miami to play football and make my family proud. I will never stop chasing my dreams and being the star player I want to

I hope to major in Sports Studies and minor in Business Administration at East Carolina University. My desire stems from a lifetime of watching, playing, and analyzing basketball. I hope to build a foundation in the history, psychology, and philosophy of sports and eventually gain the skills necessary to become a talent scout. In particular, I hope to eventually learn about basketball operations, management, evaluation, player negotiations, and the language and history of scouting. Part of what attracts me to ECU is the diverse sports classes offered. In addition, the STEPP Program offers the right assistance for me to achieve my goals.

Outside of academics, I would love nothing more than to be involved in the sports and spirit at Columbia. Although, I am not an athlete myself, I hope to become involved with the football and wrestling teams, whether it be cheering in the stands with my fellow students and spreading school spirit, or earning a position to work either team. I was a wrestling manager all four years of high school and would surely jump at the opportunity to be a manager of the Columbia wrestling team. Wrestling, in general, is not the most popular sport. I feel that the sport of wrestling is overlooked by students, since most have never been exposed. I would love the opportunity to help expand the wrestling community at Columbia, as well as grow the sport in general.

I would learn that only the determined would continue to our eighth grade year. The responsibility of playing football was huge. Having enough time to do my homework, sleep, and to my chores at home was difficult.

From the time I was able to walk I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I always fantasized it being game seven of the world series, with my team down three runs, the bases loaded with two outs, and I was up to bat. Of course every single time I fantasized about this, which was a lot I might add, I knocked a 400 foot home run in the left field bleachers to win the world series. I played in numerous amounts of wiffle ball games with my brother, sister, and my dad in backyard even when I was only two years old and would run the bases backwards. By the way, my family is super competitive, so there were some intense games in my backyard. Baseball has been my love since day one. The word “ball” was even my first word. I have played in probably a billion baseball games in my life and I have not regretted one second of it. I have had an amazing career playing and I am truly blessed for the ability I have been given, but I know I will never actually be able to

As a kid we all had a dream, one that could have been completely unrealistic, such as becoming an astronaut or following in the steps of our role model. We seek after these jobs because we see successful people on T.V. or people we know that live a happy, lavish life. As adolescence, our minds are fulfilled with the most creative ideas, the highest expectations, and tons of bizarre goals, but the question we need to ask ourselves is how will we accomplish these dreams we place amongst ourselves? Important things we do not think about as kids is what we will major in, or if we are really passionate about the job we believe is the best job for us. Usually we start thinking about what we might want to major in during our junior year of high school when the college searching process begins. Even after we think we know what we are going to major in, we still are not completely confident with our decision. The article I believe will help upcoming Southern Connecticut State University freshmen is Nathan Gebhard’s “Four Steps to Choosing a College Major.” This article would benefit Freshmen by helping them think deeper into what they sincerely want in life. Three key things this article will help incoming freshmen with is choosing their own goals, finding what interests them, and help determine whether a job is right for you.

My greatest skill is being able to play volley ball . I have played volleyball for over six years now and I quit my senior year fall season .
