Oriole Park Elementary School Class of 2016, congratulations, we did it! Mr. Riff, esteemed teachers and staffs, dearest parents and grandparents, guests, fellow graduates, relatives, friends, ladies, and gentlemen, good morning! “To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.” -Chinese Proverb. On the very first day of this school year, Ms. Poulos gave us the first challenging word that I have encountered and of course more of such words followed
A tradition at my high school for the senior class is choosing a city to spend a few days in before graduation. My class chose to go to Baltimore, Maryland. We had an action packed four days going to Adventure Park USA, Six Flags, The National Aquarium, a Baltimore Orioles game, The Smithsonian Zoo, and shopped around downtown Baltimore. I became close with classmates I rarely talked with throughout high school and saw a different side of them than what I had seen in the classrooms. My small circle
location is perfect for tourists because it is within walking distance of some of Baltimore’s best tourist attractions. For example The National Aquarium, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Baltimore convention center, Camden Yards stadium (home of the Orioles baseball team), M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Baltimore Ravens), lots of restaurants/bars, and much more. This Marriott location is a mid-range to world class service type of hotel, features over 500 guest rooms and suites, and is family oriented
Baseball Park Construction Trends in the 1990s The current trend in baseball park construction is a retro design, reminiscent of the early years, combined with modern technology. This trend, dubbed “The Construction Era” by Frank Deford of Sports Illustrated, is prominent in three new American League parks: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Jacobs Field, and The Ballpark at Arlington. The current idea for ballpark construction is to locate the retro style parks in the heart of urban areas. The whole
The past one hundred and fifty years of Baltimore’s history have included many turbulent fluctuations in the way the city manages to thrive during the vast changes in how consumer-related products are manufactured. One of the most important ingredients to the city’s prosperity is in a mineral called chromite. Chromite is typically found in acidic soil along with serpentinite rock, a dark-green brittle rock in the soapstone family. During the late nineteenth century, chromite suddenly became a hot
most prevalent of the sports focused on by my family. Games were always on the TV. My father, a Dodger's fan, would always catch the L.A. games when they were on. When my dad told me bedtime stories, I heard about Duke Snyder and Willie Mays, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium instead of fairy tales. He taught me how to throw, catch, and bat, but he also imparted to me the history of the game. All through my youth I was a never- ending fountain of questions about baseball, and Dad always seemed to have
Overfunding Parks The lessons learned from park play are not comparable to what sidewalk play has to offer. “Learning Responsibility on City Sidewalks” by Jane Jacobs opens the reader 's eyes on the benefits of simple street play. In her passage, Jane Jacobs compares the more beneficial effects of sidewalk play compared to the overpraised parks. Jacobs tells us that parks don’t build a stronger form of morality and help with developing more knowledge on city life like sidewalk play do. Park children

This suburb offers large blocks of land for residential or commercial development, unlike most of the surrounding suburbs, which makes it a rare commodity indeed. Inside the confines of Earlwood, you will find a small shopping precinct, plentiful parks and playgrounds, rare bushlands, and a beautiful cohesion of food, community, culture, trendy cafes, pizza bars, and natural beauty wrapped up in a setting that brings the old and the new together. Earlwood is often mistaken for being part of the Inner
Paolo Santoro, the leader of the 5. Januar Gesellschaft (5th of January Club), raised his questions to the girl. “And how exactly are we going to do just that, Ma’am? Frankly, I can see ourselves allowing it to occur in the northern parts of the Plaid Curtain, but for the ones on the southern counterpart, I have reasons to doubt. It goes without saying that, as a unified movement, we barely have any control over our own affairs south of Plaid Curtain, with both the Underground and the FYC busily
