Summary : ' Here We Go '

Powering past defenders and blades of grass alike, I reach my big toe out to barely touch the ball past the last defender. That’s it! With thirty yards to goal I’m all alone; it’s just me and the goalkeeper. One last big touch before I place the ball firmly into the back of the net. Twenty yards out now and I’m already picturing what my goal celebration will be, a quick sprint to the sidelines while my teammates all chase me, finished off with a point and stare to my Dad, per usual. I forgot about one thing, the defender steaming in from my back left side. Winding my right leg back, the defender sideswipes me. I was moving so fast I couldn’t catch myself. Smack! The right side of my face hits the dirt. Blood everywhere, my nose is numb, and my face stings with a type of rug burn sensation I had never felt before. Seems bad enough, but wait for the kicker, I’m not moving. My back tingles for a couple minutes while I lay in a mixture of blood and dirt. Then the tingling goes away, I walk unassisted to the bench, certain that I will

Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther, by Roland H. Bainton. Nashville, TN: Meridian, 1995. 336 pages. Reviewed by Susan L. Schulte.

Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer. This book has helped me learn how to write more structured sentences and how to form them in ways that sound better and are also more grammatically correct than before. I have learned how to properly demonstrate and use many writing techniques such as making quotations, playing the believing game, how to write strong summaries, how to plant a “naysayer”, and incorporate “so what?” and “who cares?” into my writing. This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in

Chapter 5 of They Say I Say is a very interesting chapter because it talks about improving your writing. In the chapter, they talk about learning how to state your own opinion without sounding biased. I believe that one great example of this is when the author exclaims, “I have a problem with what liberals call cultural differences.” This type of writing is important because you can express your own views and opinions without sounding biased. This type of writing only works if you can integrate parts of their argument into your own. Another method discussed in this text was using references to things you said prior to that. One good example of this could be when it states that,“ We would argue that voice markers we identified earlier, are extremely

As I stood on the field, sweat dripping down my face, it all came down to this moment. Going to practice for months, the bruises, the pain, it was all preparing me for this altering moment. I’m a soccer goalie, that in itself is a big responsibility, but tonight my team was counting on me to lead them to victory. We just played a full 90-minute game only to be tied two to two. I stood in between the goal posts, people cheering my name, as a member from the opposing team walked closer. Since we tied we are in a penalty shootout, the outcome of the game is decided on this one kick. See, being a goalie is a big responsibility, but during a shootout, that's when it gets unbearably stressful. The odds are not in a goalie’s favor. There is only an eighteen percent chance that the goalie will stop the penalty kick, but I was beating those odds because I already blocked two out of four shots. I just needed to block one more, one more and we win the gold medal, we win first place. As the player walks closer to me, the cheering of the crowd slowly dissipates. All I hear is my heart pounding out of my chest. It all comes down to this final whistle signaling the kicker to begin. I felt unstoppable, this was my moment to shine, this was when I became the hero for my team. The referee blew

Should nuclear energy be used? Throughout the article “Nowhere to go”, the author objectively reviews the use of nuclear energy, using the text and graphics to provide details that demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of its use. Nevertheless, the consequences of using nuclear energy outweigh the benefits. One of these consequences is that working with nuclear energy can cause many health problems. The text states, “Dangers include radiation sickness, cancers, and other health problems. High level radioactive waste can present hazards ‘for a million years or more,’ Kamps says.” This means that using nuclear energy can cause health problems for future generations.

In Marion Winik’s essay “The Things They Googled”, Winik associates certain Google searches with different kinds of people, such as those that are young, old, lonely, and forgetful. Young people would google what they didn’t know or what they were supposed to know, older people would google what they’d forgotten, and lonely people would make searches based on their past relationships. Winik makes the assumption that these groups of people all would be googling similar content. Winik might be criticizing Google searches, or she could just be criticizing people based off the searches they’ve made. Although she may not have meant to come off as critical, her language and tone can easily lead someone to believing so.

Having had the opportunity to watch the entire series of “We Shall Remain”, it is my educated opinion that United States history books need to be rewritten in order to display the magnitude in which the founding fathers of the United States were nothing more than liars, thieves, and murders to the Native Americans. The signing of the Peace Treaty in March 1621 marked the first of more than 350 Peace Treaties by the United States and Native Americans that would later be overturned by the United States. It appears that once the Colonists began actually outnumbering the Wampanoag, the Colonists conceit, gluttony, and bigotry had come to the top of their agenda and it began to show their true intentions.

It is stressed in the Goal that there is a massive difference between throughput and efficiency. The novel makes the case that having an efficient operation does not equate to profitability. What does equate to profitability is to increase the throughput of any given operations system. Jonah tells Alex, “Throughput, is the rate in which the system generates money through sales.” (Goldratt, E.M. (2014), The Goal, pg. 60). Jonah goes on to explain to Alex that inventory is all the money that was invested in purchasing things that the system intends to sell. (Id). Furthermore, operational expenses are those costs that are required to turn inventory into throughput. (Id, at pg. 61). The definitions of these three measurements are not standard definitions for an MBA student. It is an interesting perspective on how to view operations.

You are a worldrenound goalkeeper play for one of the best teams in the country. The left forward has the ball and is coming at you with full speed, she fires a powerful shot to the lower corner of the goal. You leap with all your might and all of the sudden, everything goes black. You wake up in the hospital bed with an excruciating headache. The trainer rushes over to check your condition and informs you that you were in an awful collision on the field. Turns out, while you were diving for the ball, the Philadelphia right forward came running at you, full speed. She kneed you in the head, knocking you unconscious. She tells you that you have a career ending concussion and you will never be able to play soccer again. This is what happened

Chapter Nine goes into detail about the late Paleoindian Period the growth of agriculture in North and South America. Clovis points appeared all over the Americas attesting to a continent-wide networking. However, as time pasted distinctive points and tools began to pop up based on region and the needs it provided for. In fact, a common theme of this chapter was the Native Americans ability to exploit their resources and maximize their intake of food sources.

The article published by “USA Today” talks about a african american woman named Sandra Bland who was pulled over for a traffic violation, put in jail, and two days later “supposedly” committed suicide while in jail. Sandra was on her way to a church gathering, when she was pulled over by a white police officer. She was pulled over and the police officer kept asking her to put her cigarette out. When she refused to put the cigarette out the police officer kept asking her to step out of the car. She was asking the question, “ what does this have to do to anything, if you're going to give me a ticket just give it to me and we can both get going.” The police officer then said he would drag her out the car if she didn't throw her cigarette out and

Even if I was given an opportunity to make a play, I would follow a simple routine of receiving the ball and then immediately passing it away. For years I believed that my only job was to relocate the ball to another player, usually male, who I thought possessed the ability and skill that I lacked. For several years I failed to even give myself a chance at improving my skills, and I let the boys on our co-ed soccer team overshadow me. It is only recently when my school's first female Varsity team was formed that I realized exactly what I was missing out on.

I have learned a great many things from playing soccer. It has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. Before my freshman year at Cool high school, I was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. Soccer has altered all of these qualities. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of soccer. The players were split up and the game began. However, during the game, I noticed that I didn't' t run as hard as I could, nor did I try to evade my defender and get open. The fact of the matter is that I really did not want to receive the ball. I didn't' t want to be the one at fault if the play didn't' t succeed. I did not want the responsibility of helping the team

The book I read was “That was then, this is now”. This fictional book was written by S.E Hinton and is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960’s. This report will be about the story’s plot and moral too.
