In Hank Hill's short essay What in the Name of High School Football? He implies that some High schools focus too much on each of their athletic accomplishments and not enough on the visual and performing arts. Hill supports this claim with his word choice and diction. Hills purpose is to point out the unfair and lopsided views of society when it comes to extracurricular activities. Hill takes on an almost upset tone in order to expose the major problem that continues to affect society today. Based on Hills tone word choice and topic this piece seems to be directed at the school administrators and high school students.

This shows that with hard work you can get good grades in school and with hard work on the football field you can excel in sports as well

To the majority of America, Auburn University Football is just a sport. To the thousands of Auburn Tigers fans worldwide, it is so much more than that. Tim Stanfield describes it as “…more than a game…it’s a passion” (Stanfield et al. 61). The culture surrounding Auburn Tigers football is a family and tight-knit community. As Pat Dye, past coach of the Auburn Tigers puts it, “We are close here, and that is part of what it means to be a Tiger” (Glier xii). There are generations of Tigers fans, “family” traditions, and the support and encouragement of a family behind every Tiger out there playing. To be a

For a lot of kids, it’s not until it’s all said and done, and they look back on it several years later, that they realize the difference the sport made in their lives. They are proud of playing the game. Have you ever met anybody who accomplished playing four years of high school football, and at the end of that run said, ‘Man, I wish I wouldn’t have played’? It doesn’t get said. Football players aren’t perfect. Nobody is. But millions of former players, one by one, can recount the life-altering principles they learned from football. They know the value of football is the values in football.That’s why high school football – and particularly high school coaches – play such a vital role in our society. Our football coaches are on the front lines of the battle for the hearts and minds of the boys in our society.

“What are you doing next weekend?” “Going to a rodeo.” “Oh... what about the next weekend?” “I have another rodeo.” I guess you could say that rodeo is kind of a big deal for me. That I’m a “Rodeo Nerd.” Whether it’s being in them, or just watching them. I love rodeos. I have many reasons to love them! Like for example, rodeos are always a ton of fun, you're always meeting new people from all kinds of places, and last but not least the cowboys!

From the time children enter into preschool, they are expected- for the most part- to do their best and be proud of it. One child’s best could be another child’s worst, and the second child’s best could be a different child’s worst. If everyone is doing their version of the best work possible, then could anyone ever truly achieve perfection? A generally accepted truth is that the answer to this question is an obvious and resounding no. By definition, a perfect human does not exist. However, humans are constantly striving towards this goal despite their knowing that it is impossible. The constant striving brings people closer and closer to the impossible goal but leaves them just shy of reaching it. This close-but-not-quite-there ending means a life that it is almost perfect- a life almost straight.

True, the world isn’t perfect but it shouldn’t have to be. We are humans and we make mistakes. Sometimes we wish everything could be perfect but that may end up making it worse. We shouldn’t try to be perfect like Dr. Hitz thinks it should be. We should just be thankful for what we have now. In “2BRO2B,” Kurt Vonnegut uses characterization and internal conflict to stress the idea sometimes things aren’t as perfect as they seem.

My brother was a typical jock in high school and he even started out playing football for the Jay Bulldogs. It wasn’t in till his sophomore year in high school that he admitted he despised football and all he wanted to do was join the wrestling team. That fateful not only changed my brother’s life, but it also

Vince Lombardi quoted “Football is like life it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.”. Statistically speaking, the average African-American male going to college makes up just 5.5% of the overall college students. However, a young man by the name of Titus McFarland has found a dream of his, latched onto it and found it led him to prosper in college while doing the sport he loves. Finding a balance in the specifics of college, sports, and social life has empowered him to be able to look forward to the future and all the positive fortunes it holds.

Striving for perfection is something that would better improve our society and really change the way we see what society is because everyone would be making an effort to really strive for the ideal world of flawlessness. Just the mere idea of getting closer to perfection is something that makes us attempt to be more perfect. In the article, “Cheaters Never Win,” Christopher Bergland, a Guinness World Record holding athlete says that, ¨yes, you want to be your absolute best and to try our hardest to win and to be thrilled if you are victorious” (Bergland 7). Bergland is trying to inform his readers that our society would be a better place because everyone is trying their best to succeed and in this case, be their most perfect self. In order for the society to reach perfection, everyone should be trying their very best in order to strive for perfection. We should all be putting forth all our effort we have in order to get just a little bit closer to the idea of perfection and flawlessness. Society would improve for the better if all individuals strived for the world of perfection because every single person would give all that they’ve got in order to make this world just a little bit more perfect. This quote from Bergland is saying that we all need to try our hardest to strive for flawlessness and that we should be thrilled if we do achieve this goal. Trying our best from the start just makes us closer to reaching perfection which allows us to have the driven passion to be

Rodeo is my life. School plays a big role in my life with rodeo. If I dont have above a 2.0 GPA I can't rodeo because when you rodeo in high school it's considered a sport in your school so you have to stay on top of your grades so that you can rodeo. Balancing school and rodeo is pretty difficult, because you have to stay on your grades and then you go home and practice for 3 hours every day and it’s hard to find time to do your homework. I have plans to rodeo professionally when i turn 18 and make a living on rodeo, once you turn pro you buy your traveling card for $100 and that lasts you a year and you have to renew it every year.

Moreover, my exposure to an athletic environment for the past 14 years has instilled upon me leadership, discipline, core values, strong work ethics and time management. Accordingly, these components have been instrumental in my academic successes over the course of my educational journey. Furthermore, my strong religious beliefs and strong family support mean everything to me; therefore, I always have the necessary provisions to fight against the many negative challenges athletes encounter in our society. Nevertheless, one challenge still remains in forefront of some people’s mind, the fact that I an African-American man who plays college football, more than likely with mediocre grades. However, on February 1, 2017 at 12:00 p.m., the UTSA Honors College defined me as much more than an athlete. On this day, I was a UTSA Student with a 3.8 G.P.A. and an opportunity for acceptance into the prestigious UTSA Honors College, and by the way, I happened to play football. Over the course of my football career, I continue to encourage and demonstrate leadership and academic excellence as a way

The top fifteen money makers of each even in rodeo go to the “Super Bowl of Rodeo” as some people say. This event is called the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and is held the first full week of December, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The PRCA riders that make it to the NFR are competing for the world title of that year. There are seven events that take place each of the ten nights.

Henry S. Haskins wrote, “Proud souls in the true sense are never humbled by adversity”. Where you invest your time, says a lot about who you are. Whether it's making good grades in school, being a good athlete, participating in community service or simply helping somebody who is in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that. I am proud of the time I have invested in my years as as West Stanly Colt. I have devoted countless hours to my school and have loved every minute of it. It was truly an honor to be a West Stanly green girl during football season. I attended every football game, led the student section wearing my green suit, and shared my colt pride with all of those around me. Whether we won or we lost, I was there to support it our colts through it all. I am a three sport athlete,

Vince Lombardi once said, “There is only one way to succeed in anything…and that is to give it everything.” Cookeville High School flawlessly represents this when it comes to school spirit. From courageous, young individuals and spirited students to believing that students and athletes can achieve anything they set their minds to, CHS is an outstanding example of school spirit.
