The Battle Of Ga Ball And Basketball

It was the summer of 2015, I went away to camp in Iowa. When the camp week was over my mother surprised me, at my camp ceremony. My mother took me and my best friend Morgan to Iowa City, where my brother, Dakota, lives. When we got to Iowa City we went to my brother’s apartment, that is where me, Morgan, and my family stayed.

After we got checked into the hotel we went to get supper from the lobby. It was a little after 11 before we had supper. Then we went to our room to get our things ready for the next day. Me,my mom, and sister got ready to go to bed but my dad and brother had to go because my brother was doing a softball camp and was not staying at the same hotel. Then me, my mom, and sister went to bed.

We pulled up to an old house that looked abandoned. I saw the Chloe was trying her hardest to hide a nasty grin but, I ignored it because the house is what really grabbed my attention. Chloe turned off the car and opened the door. After that she signaled us to follow. Carly and Ellie glanced at each other and smirked at each other. We walked up to the doorway and opened the door. Somehow I got in front of them and walked in first. Right at that moment someone popped out and screamed. Then I found myself covered in spoiled milk. There was cameras flashing everywhere and all I could do was run and cry. I ran all of the way home, up the stairs, and straight into the bathroom to shower. I couldn't believe how stupid I was and how I didn't see what was coming the whole time. My mother knocked on the door. I stood there for a minute before I opened

Those activities were to volunteer and help watch some kids in a program. I learned lots of things in this program. One of the biggest things that I learned was to be patient. That is because without patience you will not help, but you will make things worse. A characteristic that I learned about myself while I was involved in the program was that I am very cooperative. I figured out that I am very good with communicating with little kids. This was very important for the program because if you didn’t have good communication skills, you would not be a good and helpful volunteer. I wanted to get involved in the program because I felt that it would be a good way to see how to help people. I also wanted to see the environment of helping people and what it takes to

I woke up the next morning not remembering what happened the day before. I forgot where I was, who I was with and why I was here. I got up from my new bed, went into the bathroom and took a shower. Immediately after I got out, I hear “Elizabeth get down here now!” being screamed from the kitchen. I had no idea why I was being screamed at so I quickly got dressed, brushed my long blonde hair that went down to my waist to avoid knots in my hair, and ran downstairs, not wanting to upset my new foster parents. Walking into the kitchen, I see everyone in the family eating at the table, assuming I was the last person

Then, we ate breakfast. After that,all of the bands had met up at the basketball to perform. We were the second band to perform because, I was in the best band for my grade. Then we ate pizza and got the whole cherokee county group back together and got in a car to go

A championship, something that every athlete in every sport strives to get to, and for some sports, everyone in the world watches it. In the 2017 Final Four NCAA Basketball Championship there was an average of 22,998,000 viewers, while the NBA championship only had 20,400,000 average viewers for it’s final game between the Cavaliers and the Warriors. College Basketball games have the better games and variety of them because the NCAA has tons of games airing each night, while the NBA has a minimum of 3 and a max of 10 per night.

My Dad asked me if I could help out at Cedar Springs Camp with other people I know. The weird thing was I said, “yes”. When we got there I saw that another teenager I knew was there to. She also heard about what happened yesterday. But, basically what we did was simple. All we had to do was load wood onto a truck. After about three to four hours of working, the girl invited us to watch her little brother play football. My brother Stephen went with to. And watching these little kids tackle each other was the funniest thing ever to Stephen and I. And watching the kids attempting to run was even funnier. After that we went to McDonald’s for supper. But yet again, I still had that depressed resting face. Next there was a balloon release in honor of Jadon Wulff. We all wore blue because it was his favorite color. Once I got out of the car, I saw my friend Levi, and I started to sob again. We were walking to the suspension bridge, and we met Sam. We each had a blue balloon in our hand. And a few minutes later everyone there released their balloons at the same time. After that, all the freshman sat in a circle and prayed. I also took big part in that myself. We were all sobbing which is completely okay in a situation like this. Levi’s Mom gave me a ride home. After that I went to bed, I was still a little sad but sort of content. Because I realized that Jadon Wulff is in heaven now and that God doesn’t want me to worry. A week later I grew acceptance that he was going to be with God for an eternity. And once I die, I will meet him

It was just another Sunday morning. There were birds chirping, sun shining, people driving fords and Chevrolet's up and down the streets. When I got out of bed and went downstairs I saw that my family had already started breakfast and were all still at the table and talking faintly about something very quietly. My mother noticed me walk into the kitchen and told me that the rest of the family had just finished breakfast and that I could pull up a T.V. tray and watch Sing Along With Mitch with my older brother and sister and that she would make me some “Flapjacks” and be there in a flash. So I went into the den and my brother and sister were there talking and greeted me. I asked my brother why they were whispering and my mom shot him a look saying and he said “Never mind, it doesn't matter” and then I felt that

Next When we got home i watched some TV and played some games. Then me and my dad played catch

Gilovich’s basketball example cleared the prior thought of streaks by stating how we give order to things that lack it. Starting by believing one success leads to another as well as failure. It is easy to believe that the next shot is more like to happen of previous shot was made or if there has been several hot hand shots. This stimulates people to believe in this because the chances seem better. The reality of this was that players “odds” didn’t stand any higher by them making previous shots, instead they were more likely to miss after making it, which only proved that these “streak” didn’t exist. All shots stood alone, independently from the next or the previous shot. People expect to see what they believe, which is why they believe in streaks.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was driving to Mount Shasta with my friend, Marley, and her parents for the weekend. It was about a four-and-a-half-hour car ride full of two eight year olds giggling in the back of the car and two parents blasting Disney radio in the front seats. Marley’s mom’s phone rings and she picks it up as we continue to sing our young hearts out to the Jonas Brothers. All of a sudden my friend and I hear her mother shriek with a pain we have never heard before. Her mother cries out, with tears bursting uncontrollably from her eyes. Marley and I go silent and wide-eyed with shivers down our spines. We had never seen a grown up act this way. She hits her husband’s bicep repeatedly rocking back and forth in her passenger seat screaming, “WHY!” Her husband is in the driver’s seat and he is pale. He is repeatedly yelling at his wife “What happened?” getting louder and louder. We are swerving off the highway to pull over and she yells “Dean died!” My friend and I look at each other. We didn’t know a Dean. The father forces his weight on the brake as we enter the shoulder of the highway, we jolt forward as our seatbelts lock. Marley’s mother immediately gets out and crawls into a fetal position on the curb. Her husband gets out of the driver’s seat and walks onto the highway, unfazed by the cars passing him on the freeway. Her parents talk for what felt like hours to us children sitting silently in the back

It was a luke warm day in the summer of 2016. I was in my moms car for almost 2 hours I was not alone I was accompanied by my mother how planned this whole trip for me and my brothers friends, also my brother who would leave my family in a month to go to college, he had his girlfriend Mary she is really cool, and then there was my friend Cole. Cole was in the same year as my brother he did not graduate, and he formed a small colony of kids who were kicked out of their parents houses off in the hills of mount diablo, he was like a real lord of the flies.

February twenty-third 2010 was just a regular ordinary day. I was on my way to class on this cold February afternoon, when my phone rung. It was my cousin on the other end telling me to call my mom. I could not figure out what was wrong, so I quickly said okay and I hung up and called my mom. When my mom answered the phone I told her the message but I said I do not know what is wrong. My mom was at work and could not call right away, so I took the effort to call my cousin back to see what was going on. She told me that our uncle was in the hospital and that it did not look good. Starting to tear up I pull over in a fast food restaurant parking lot to listen to more to what my cousin had to say. She then tells me to tell my mom to get to

We kept the children engaged with games, Tv shows, and sessions of activities such as storytelling and singing. We also performed some indoor sports which most kids did not want the session to end.
