Serena Williams lost the French Open final Saturday to Garbine Muguruza. It marked her third failed attempt to win a 22nd singles Grand Slam title, which would tie the Open-era record set by Steffi Graf.

My parents both had their M.D.s, my father being an orthopedic surgeon and my mother a psychiatrist. Growing up my mother was the more dominant one in our family. She allowed me to dress up in my sisters clothing. As I got older, I began to become sexually confused. I confronted my mother about this and she prescribed psychiatric

The world of tennis breathed a heavy sigh of discontent, as a Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer US Open battle once again did not materialize. Nevertheless, don’t worry; tennis enthusiasts should secure their Australian Open tennis tickets early, because rivals seem to meet “down under”. However, what was even more impressive was what happened in the women’s bracket in New York. Tennis may be on the verge of the next American surge, with some resistance from the elder stateswomen.

Zach Petersel, in his essay, “Here's Why Suspensions Won't Deter PED users Like Maria Sharapova,” claims that the risk and rewards of using performing enhancing drugs (PEDs) is unbalanced and needs to change.

Music spreads awareness about misfortunes in the world, and Martina McBride used her celebrity status to promote her own concerns about child abuse. In 2002, Martina McBride recorded a song “Concrete Angel” to spread awareness about child abuse. Her song exists for the general population that consists of bystanders because most people are aware of tragedies such

Shawn Mendes uses his music as a form of communicating messages to his listeners. These messages mainly consist of relationship problems, relationship advice, personal experiences, and a vivid picture of who he is. Mendes’s messages can clearly be seen in songs like don’t be a fool, mercy, treat you better, three empty words, and others (Hampp).
