Disney World; the place where dreams come true. Whether it is a good or bad dream, it is still a dream. I have had some interesting experiences there; some crazier than others. This experience though, oof, this was awkward. This is the time my mother got into a screaming match with some sixteen-year-old girls. Just some background on my mother, she is an amazing person. She is nice, funny, and is a good person to talk to. Another thing about her is that she loves Disney World. She grew up going

Jamaican Cultural Belief : Cash Pot Man / Drop Pan Myth: Cash Pot is a form of lottery in Jamaica it is extremely popular, it has even been incorporated into everyday language. The idea of cash pot or drop pan depending on who is speaking is that everything in life has a number, there are 36 numbers and they all represent several things. The game came to Jamaica through Chinese immigrants, since Jamaica has a very large Chinese population. The reason why Cash Pot has been so popular in Jamaican

Do you think it is fair that athletes who have taken performance enhancing drugs should be allowed to compete again after serving a nominal ban? By lifetime ban, I mean an indefinite ban from all competition; an official order that prevents something from being used or done. I believe that if a person cheats, they should automatically be given a lifetime ban.  Performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs are dangerous and banned in all sports. They can cause serious damage to the body and can

Testimonial Speech I am delighted to be a part of this gala evening, and especially pleased to have the opportunity to share some of my thoughts and observations about this evening's honoree -- and my good friend, Cliff Kendall. Leader of the year -- certainly the term fits Cliff like a glove. But look around the room. This place is filled with leaders. This is a "power lunch," moved to the evening and dressed up in black ties and cocktail dresses. So how, do you suppose, did the Board of

It’s been 3 weeks since the school year started. I go to class as usual, I do homework as usual, I take tests as usual. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Or rather, nothing would have seemed out of the ordinary. I find it hard to focus on my math exam with so many thoughts running through my head. I look up from my test and scan the room. Everyone seems equally as invested in the test in front of them. However, I see some people starting to lose focus as their eyes start to wander. Others, realizing

Alex Rodriguez once looked back at his decisions and said, “I realized that, you know what, I don’t need any of it, and what I have is enough.” (“Rodriguez”) Alex, just like many other athletes all over the world used performance enhancing drugs. These athletes could have probably done just as well, maybe even better without the performance enhancing drugs. These drugs that Alex Rodriguez, Tyson Gay, Lance Armstrong, and Marion Jones were taking have many effects and consequences. There are many

Did you know that in 2009 when Usain Bolt broke the world record for the 100 meters his reaction time was .146 seconds! Meaning that without using starting blocks this world record of 9.58 seconds would have became a meager 9.726 seconds placing him second behind Tyson Gay who ran 9.71 seconds. The blocks are an intricate part of any modern track and field race from the indoor 60 meter sprint to the outdoor 400 meters. Since their creation in the late 1920s the starting blocks have been involved

By Lelet Lumani Did you know, the world's fastest man lives in St Albans, and no, it isn’t Usain Bolt. His name is Lee Bektash, and he is a driver for FIAT Chrysler (who supply the car) and Mopar Racing (who supply all the parts). He's the number one drag-car racer in Australia, as well as holding the world record for the quickest time with a small block powered car and naturally aspirated car for the quarter mile - 6.87 seconds, clocked at a speed of 200.14mph. I recently spoke to Lee about a

have traditionally taken a hard line: Genetic engineering to improve performance is wrong. As former U.S. Olympic scientist Tim Conrad said a decade ago, “Anything you did not get from God is illegal.”" (Entine). This statement is entirely true. Usain Bolt holds the record for the 100m dash at 9.58 seconds. Scientists have calculated the fastest a human can possibly run it at is 9.48 seconds. It would be unfair for an athlete like him to get his records broken by a designer baby.

to actually balance and make difference in equality in male and female sports. It isn’t even just confined to professional sports, any job profession in general women tend to be paid less, no matter what. Drawing an example right here, take Usain St Leo Bolt, OJ, CD is a Jamaican sprinter. Regarded as the fastest human ever timed, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time became mandatory. Asafa Powell, CD is a Jamaican sprinter who specialises
