In addition, people of color and white people can exhibit “group empathy” outwardly, which will then in turn, create caring policies and political communities for everyone involved. Ginwright highlights that developing inner-city and urban youth are affected by hope, healing, and care, which can either help the future of the communities, or harm them, depending on whether hope, healing, and care are diminished through the policies formed by the political communities. He explains that civic engagement in urban youth can be strengthened through community organizations that will allow for groups to come together and let young people connect with their peers and other adults within their community. The relationships that will form in community organizations may include people who come from different backgrounds, allowing for “group empathy” and care to spread through the organization, and therefore, through the community, illustrating how these two readings play off of one

Sharon Stevenson Eng 210 Albin April 18, 2024 The Invaluable Impact of Boys & Girls Clubs For many years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America have been a foundation of support for youth, offering important after-school programs that promote development, education, and community. Even while it has a significant impact on millions of lives, it is still not given enough credit in the larger conversation about youth development and education. From a closer look at its offerings and the successful outcomes for its participants, this organization is more than just an additional educational facility—rather, it is a vital lifeline for the communities it serves.

“In 1979 Nicklaus had his worst season to date, having gone winless and finishing seventy-first on the money list. His length off the tee, the long flight, and high trajectory of his iron shots had once given him a huge advantage over the rest of the field—and had revolutionized the game”(“Jack Nicklaus.” 2). This goes to show that Nicklaus faced challenges that he had to overcome; and that what he had done once upon a time to revolutionize the game has now come back to stab him in the back. “Nicklaus is also very involved in the ownership and management of various golf businesses, from golf practice centers to golf-course construction and design, to golf schools and events”(“Jack Nicklaus.” 4). This quote explains how Nicklaus is still very involved with the game of golf today.

The day of the golf tournament, I was extremely joyful to be at Baltusrol Golf Club for the Drive, Chip, and Putt championship.

My father was supportive and proud of me being in the tournament. Even though I was participating in this event, I had a broken wrist.

) If I were to be interviewed by local media about The First tee and was asked about the impact that it had on my life I would say it had a huge impact on my life that was very positive. I would tell them that the first tee taught me the 9 important core values I use when I’m playing golf and outside of golf. The 9 important core clues were honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment. Being a part of the first tee as a girl is so amazing, I was in girl’s golf ever since I was 7 or 8 up until I was 13 years old until I joined into eagle classes.

These anecdotes give Sasse more believability and trustability, as the author now knows his child experienced something challenging as well. Also, later on in this section, Sasse begins to offer job ideas for the youth community. He describes that jobs are available everywhere, and they just need to "look around [their] neighborhood... Serve [their] community…lawns need to be mowed" (Sasse par. 15). Sometimes children don't know where to start and need a boost. Sasse lists multiple different ways teens can help their community and the new perspective they can gain from it.

Over the next five years the way that Golfer’s Paradise will continue to differentiate itself is to use its consumers to evolve the company. When golf courses need a face life, they redo the clubhouse, fix the grass on the course, replant the greens, or make small changes to aspects of the course. Golfer’s Paradise will be different because the changes to the course will come from the consumers themselves. The five year strategy for Golfer’s Paradise is complete the overall aspect of the course and build the different projects that were mentioned early on in the class.

As a follow up to your conversations with our father, we are writing to introduce you to Clubs For Kids, a 501(c)(3) charity, that we formed in 2017 as students at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA, to collect golf equipment for distribution to less fortunate kids throughout the world. We have been avid golfers all of our lives and feel strongly that all kids should have the opportunity to play the game and gain the essential life skills that golf teaches. We believe that the cost of equipment should never limit a child’s involvement in the sport. Clubs for Kids is currently partnering with the New England PGA to collect equipment for the benefit of the Ghana Golf Association (GGA) in Ghana, Africa. You can reach our website through

I was on assignment, doing a feature story on Jamaica’s number one local-based amateur golfer, Sean Morris. This was his home course and for every employee and caddie at the course, he was both king and “Capo”, having captained several of their teams to local titles. As I laid flat on my stomach at the tee at hole number five, overlooking the majestic fairway and the green, which was perched at the edge of the Caribbean Sea and dotted by palm trees, I quickly understood why they nicknamed the hole Majestic Blue. The view was spectacular. Though majestic in every way and as old as Ernie Els, Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, and every other golf course in Jamaica, has not hosted an official international golf tournament since 1995.

Most of my field work has been in The Akron Public School District which has allowed me to gain a lot of experience with urban youth students in the Akron area. I have been placed into preschool, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, and high school classrooms which has allowed me to be given a wide variety of experiences with teachers and students. During my placement in the preschool classroom, I was able to learn about the importance of including lessons that enrich each area of a child’s development. While working with the Kindergarten students, I was able to observe a classroom that was run based on centers and small group instruction. I enjoyed working with the students in this classroom as many of the centers were game based which established a fun way for the students to learn.
