Imagine having to attend to a loved one because of their horrific state of health after a colossal impact they sustained. This unfortunately is the reality for many worldwide. Athletes are experiencing many internal injuries such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Concussions. Although the majority of people understand the risks of participating in sports, they fail to realize just how common athletes are diagnosed with these fatal diseases. The safety of athletes is now being put to question.

“The human mind is our fundamental resource,” John F Kennedy. When I was little, my parents always guided me towards expanding my intellectual horizons. I quickly learned what JFK had expressed long before my time, that my mind was my core asset. In elementary school I would spend every moment not spent doing homework or playing outside watching whatever documentary I could get my hands on. I would often ask my dad to teach me new math concepts, or my mom to take me to the library. All of this made school a breeze, I did not need to put forth the same effort other students did. I learned a lot, but the most important lesson did not come from my parents or books.

She viewed his attempt at suicide as a way of getting back at her for not loving him enough. She thought that he had purposely made the event as “vicious, as sickening as he could” (Guest 237). After the event, there was so much blood that the tiles on the bathroom floor had to be regrouted and the towels had to be replaced. Given her need to have everything be perfect, she saw that as his way of blackmailing her, though she never said exactly why.

It all started as a passionate love towards the sport, then came as a dream to be one of those guys you see on t.v riding their bikes down a mountain, then became reality, and then….I was there on those mountains. Breathless. Just staring down below me as if I was a bird looking down from the clouds. I could taste the pine from the trees below and beside me. The taste was so surreal. And for a split second I couldn't believe where I was, and who I had become. I was so happy to be where I was, and was sure my mom was looking down on me today, and smiling from ear to ear seeing her son fulfil his dream.

The setting of this story is very dark, mysterious, and haunting and through the detailed descriptions of the setting, the horrific mood of the story is created. There are several vivid descriptions that the author, Richard Connell, makes of the setting. The story starts off on a damp, dark, soundless, and moonless tropical night. The night is described as being so dark that “it was like trying to see through a blanket.” The Caribbean Sea is described as being “blood-warm”. The island, which Rainsford swims to and occupies for the duration of the story, is an isolated “God-forsaken place”. On the island, Rainsford discovers a patch of weeds stained crimson – meaning blood. When Rainsford comes across the chateau on the island, the sea is described

As a child, Callie had gotten told about a story of a girl that was murdered in the middle of the woods. She was also told that the girl, Taryn, still haunts the woods to this day. No one knew if the rumors were true or not, but they had told Callie that people have went into the woods and have not come out. Callie believed that there was a girl murdered in the woods but did not believe that people walked into the woods and did not make it out.

His wounds were cleaned up, but blood still found a way through his abraded skin. She observed her own hands, touching her forehead. Her own injuries were the same as that of his. Puzzled, she asked the nearest nurse a simple question concerning them, who was a tall woman with long, blonde hair fixed into a

We as a society love the sport called football and demand a new season every year. Unfortunately, there is a cost to this demand. The cost is concussions. The concussion is an injury that causes brain damage. Football players are hit with mind numbing tackles almost every game. Safety is a huge issue in football because the skull and brain collide multiple times with force. Furthermore, many more problems are likely to arise later in life. One is called by the name of Parkinson’s Disease. Athletes, especially in football, are very susceptible to this injury.

She was going to walk in the forest until she could find her brothers. She did not want to live in the castle without them. So she left the house in the forest and began walking. She walked all night and all day. When she couldn’t walk anymore she saw a cabin. She thought she could take a rest in the cabin so she went in. All she saw was a room with 6 little beds.

attempted to reach the door, he stabbed her three more times then fled. When she was found by

She just did not have a reason to hate him or not be with him anymore there has to be a reason. I think that he beat her and was a drunk or something along those lines and she did not want anything to do with him anymore. But then when she saw him and he was not dead I think that broke her heart right there. Because she wanted to be free and she could not be anymore. So her heart could not handle it and she fell over dead.

The only difficult situation that comes to mind is the time I got my head injury. During a game against another soccer team my team and I were playing with 9 players, this wasn’t exactly an ideal situation when playing an 11 player game. Starting the second half one of our players got injured and we were bumped down to 8 players. To take her position the person playing mid - mid with me moved down to defense and I became an ideal target because I was tired, alone and I’m captain. A little while after I had to chase a girl down through half field, and when I kicked the ball away she pretended to look down for the ball and moved side to side. She saw that I was right behind her so she took her chance and elbowed me in the head, I didn’t fall but I couldn’t see or hear properly, my face was numb.

Then he murdered her because she threatened to tell and ruin his life and he didn’t know what else to do. When it comes this theory
