It is the first round of the Basketball State playoffs, and with eight seconds left, the talented Northwest team is down by three.

All the work paid off. During the 2016 national competition in May, I ranked in the top 9 percent of 1,308 competitors, the highest individual performance ever posted by Decatur High School. I’m now team captain and have coaxed a lot of promising freshmen to join.

Over the course of the past several years, the North Iowa Fire basketball program has helped me become a much better basketball player but it has also done so much more. The Fire program provided me with the opportunity to make, what are now, some of my closest friends. Throughout my years in the program, we went through our struggles, but from these struggles I learned the value of hard work and competing at every level. North Iowa Fire helped me fall in love with the game of basketball and I learned so much about myself that I never knew.

Hayy’s quest for understanding presents the reader with contradictions throughout Ibn Tufayl’s Hayy Ibn Yaqzãn. Throughout the book, the narrator presents the reader with two explanations and two understandings of Hayy’s life.

Because Hayy grew up in solitude, he has a primitive knowledge of survival and understands only the metaphysical aspect of his life. When he meets Absal, he is presented with the physical aspect of life such as language and religion. However, what part of understanding makes Hayy human? Is it the physical understanding of his environment or his theoretical understanding? I believe that the physical understanding of life is a basic understanding of one’s surroundings and while humans are taught this throughout life, it’s the philosophical understanding that makes one a human.
