Ball boy

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America goes all the way back to 1860. A couple of women in Hartford, Connecticut, did not think that it was a good idea that there were boys roaming the streets. They believed that boys engaged in productive activities would not become involved in unacceptable behavior. From these perceptive observations arose, in time, a national cause. By 1906, The Boys and Girls Club of America had formed facilities and operational programs in every state, Puerto Rico, and the U.S

I used to always think to myself how come boys could play football and why girls could not. I was always dedicated going out to the games, attending every training session and analysing the way the game worked. I would vision the play in my imagination. Rain, hail or shine I was always there despite not being able to participate. It was heartbreaking, but I knew one day that it would benefit me somehow. Dad often took me down to the park to kick the ball, and it felt as though nothing else in the

girls are too fragile and cry when they break a nail. There is no equality when it comes to sports. In lacrosse, girls cannot not touch another player to get the ball. Girls wear cleats and goggles. Men have to wear padding all over their bodies. Men's lacrosse teams can body check and push people over when fighting to get the ball.

That is where I ran across a quote that really struck me this quote says, " can I play" ask Callie, all the boys were playing that was playing football stopped and looked at her. I thought what would I say to her if she asked me. although, I believe that there are some girls who are much stronger than guys. I still believe that they should not be allowed to play on the same team as boys for so many reasons Boys and girls should

golf balls that have undergone water damage through discoloration. They patented the idea with “the exclusive right to employ any technology that would lead to a change in the appearance of a golf ball as a signal that its performance had been impaired by exposure to water”. They both quit their jobs and pursued the idea that later became Performance Indicator. The technology would expand the market of golf balls by reducing the number of used golf balls recycled and reused. The golf ball industry

the saying “boys will be boys?” It usually came from a teacher or parent after two boys got into a fight or when a boy was pulling on a girl’s hair just “because he liked her.” This leads to the question “Why do adolescent girls mature faster than boys?” From the body to the mind, we women are on the fast track while men are still in the Dark Ages. For the majority, girls start acting more mature earlier than boys. Most scientists will agree that the reason girls mature faster than boys is because

Emotions of confusion and happiness overwhelmed me as I tried to take in the situation. Over the next few hours, I helped the house parents clothe, feed, prepare for school, and play with the boys.
