Trevor Hall, a singer/songwriter, incorporates Hindu beliefs and teachings into his music; sometimes directly, or in the most subliminal ways. “Green Mountain State”, “Unity” and “You Can’t Rush Your Healing” have all had great influences in my life the past years, keeping me grounded and teaching me to positively explore and dive into my emotions.

Pat Tillman had a stronger work ethic than most everyone. Tillman showed his hard work in every aspect of his life on the fiend and off he had a 3.5 or higher GPA all threw high school. When Pat was a 8th grader he tried out for the varsity baseball team, he didn't make the team also he decided to mainly focus on football. Everyone told him that he wasn't big enough or good enough to play football but he pushed himself and worked harder than everyone to get where he wanted to go. In Pats senior year of college he had NFL scouts come to one of the practices and he worked so hard that he would let the scouts leave until he completed the drill to the best of his abilities. Pat was the 226th pick of the draft and he proved to be the best safely

Of the multitude of reasons that exists why the Ole Miss football program was so delayed in its integration process comes the necessary role the football program played in keeping the university open during the integration of the university itself. As the entire university went into turmoil, the football program stood strong. During the 1962 season, which was played parallel with Meredith’s appearance on campus, the team went undefeated and still is considered one of the greatest teams since. In his essay explaining the parallel between the integration of Ole Miss and the ’62 team, Wright Thompson states, “The 1962 Ole Miss football team fascinated me. That year, perhaps because of the school’s near self-destruction over integration, or perhaps in spite of it, the team managed the most remarkable season seen in Oxford before or since” (1). This strong and winning team, lead by coach Henry Vaught, kept the university running when it looked as though it would implode on itself. Many turned to the idols of the campus, the football players, to keep

Gregg Bingham was born on March 13th, 1951 in Evanston, Illinois just 12 miles north from the city of Chicago. Bingham played tight end at Gordon Tech High School, (now known as DePaul College Prep) but soon changed to a defensive lineman later because the position fit him more. Bingham unlike most people at the school, started on varsity his freshman year. Bingham was a brilliant student and was offered scholarships by many Ivy League schools, such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth and others. But the reason Bingham chose Purdue over all these Ivy League schools was that when he visited the campus he asked a woman at the front counter where the Coke machine was. The woman started to explain but then showed the machine to him. He was impressed that this woman took her time to show him this Coke machine, and she did not even know that he had received a scholarship offer for football from the university!

As I am ending this essay about one amazing man in African American history, I wonder why baseball ended up being his lifetime career even though he was great at many other sports. Whatever that reason may be, he showed us all that nothing is impossible even when you’re surrounded by negativity and let-downs. 42 is number to remember and forever be respected and honored. “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other’s lives” –Jackie Robinson I think we can say he has truly impacted many lives, even our own

De’Shaun Buzzwell was born on October 13th, 1989 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was always really fast and had a lot of energy. Because of this, his mother put him into sports. He played baseball, football, and basketball. His favorite sport was football. He played on an elite traveling football team that he was the star of. His dream was to play college football for Oklahoma State University. He worked day in and day out. Because of his hard work and effort, not only did he get his dream of playing for OSU, it also gave him a first round draft pick with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That didn’t automatically mean that he was the best player on the team though. He had a very rough first season, only playing in five games and having the worst average rushing yards for rookie W.R., and only scored one touchdown in the season In the off-season, he didn’t expect to get anywhere. But, his friend worked with him every day in the off-season. They worked every other day on speed, agility, endurance, and strength. He never quit. His hard work in the off-season paid off, as he played in fourteen out of his team’s sixteen games for the season and averaged the best rushing yards for a wide receiver for the entire NFL, and had eight touchdowns. The

A woman has a natural instinct to nurture and protect a child, especially their own. A mother as they give birth to their child puts great trust in the doctors and nursing staff as they care for their child. However, what if that confidence is misplaced? What if the nurse who takes your child back to the nursery places your baby in harms way? There are many cases of malpractice and medical mistakes, however in some cases that is not what happens. In some instances, the patient is murdered.
