My goal to be a Division 1 athlete, legal intern, and a successful college student were fulfilled while at Baylor University, because of my consistent work ethic. This persistent desire to

The intolerable taxes that Louis

Black Women in Sports: Sexuality and Athleticism Men and women who chose to engage in sports from which they would traditionally be discouraged because of their gender, particularly as professionals, redefine the sport. The social and cultural "costs" are not the result of the individual's participation, but rather the way in which sports have been socially, politically, and economically constructed.

Here, a crowd of 577 deputies took a pledge to stay together until they were able to compose and implement their own constitution.

met at a fateful Daisy Scout meeting—but 7th grade was when we ecstatically joined the photography club and bonded over photoshoots of the snowy soccer field, daisy bouquets, and the town’s architecture. Freshman year, she persuaded me to join the tennis team with her, and from the experience, I've grown to love the sport and even make friends at Shelton. Finally, in our shared classes like APUSH, we had a blast recording an 80s mixtape for our final exam project. Our friendship is symbiotic—I teach

would take my role as a leader and lead my team to victory, ensuring nobody is left out and keeping order within my group. I work my way around setbacks and help others who are struggling with their own. Such as during my time playing of the Foster tennis team. If someone is struggling to perform a certain skill, I try my best to nudge them in the right direction. Giving pointers, and exploiting
