Travis Lazarczyk doesn’t consider himself a sportswriter but rather a writer about people with sports as a backdrop. His most exciting stories to write about comes from the accomplishment a group of people or individuals, specifically high school basketball teams.

Travis came to answer questions for Thomas Colleges EH-111 Section G sports writing and composition class.

During the reading of chapter 1 by Brenda Combs I became tearful with her story of how the circumstances in her life changed by imploring help from the Lord to heal her from her addictions and homelessness. After she took her decision of staying positive, and setting up goals, and with determination that she and her son deserved more than a simple paycheck. Those thoughts were her inspiration for improvement, and working very hard in her dreams without giving up. The poem she wrote for her son inspired me to work harder and continue working with love and respect for self and others as always do and being an example for my daughter. With this article I was able to identify many of my areas that I have to work- on and also I was able to identify
Totally agree with you Scott eventhought at the beginning he didn 't sound that insane, cause for example sometimes others people have eyes, body parts , etc, that bothers us just to even look at.

The morning after the incident in the sewage field, the soldiers look for Kiowa 's body. Jimmy Cross helps in the search and watches his men. He sees a young soldier (this is presumably O 'Brien, but O 'Brien has chosen to tell this story in the third person) standing off by himself, shaking, in his own world. Cross thinks about Kiowa 's death, and how Kiowa, a brave and decent kid, absolutely didn 't deserve to die in a field of sewage.
So, since then I’ve never been very religious. This experience has life changing, even regarding my personal beliefs in everyday life. Did it take my family and totally destroy me at the time? Yes, but I feel as though it made me look at life in a different, better way.
In a nation filled with so man diverse people how can you determine what makes an American truly American? In the writings "response to executive order 9066" by Dwight Okita and "Mericans" by Sandra Cisneros we get an inside look on the perspective from two different cultures and opinions from two different writers. However both stories contain the same purpose to show the defining characteristics among Americans although, they differ in a few ways. The views, cultural differences, and upbringings are all points in which have both similarities and differences. The views in both story have some similarities but also contain differences.
The Fateful Demise of Bobby Jindal, Starting with the Next Debate Washington, D.C.—In midst of an accelerating competition with his fellow Republican peers, Governor Bobby Jindal has been playing one hand after another to dodge the political currents that threaten to sweep him out of the race. These currents consist of three weaknesses: a lack of sufficient funding, exposure, and unique viewpoints. His narrow chances for nomination are cut further when he would once again be placed in the undercard debate on Oct. 28 due to low national polling results. The Republican National Committee announced last month that candidates must poll at least 3% on several national polls before they can qualify for the prime time debate.
2 years ago, I wasn 't the person that I now am. Before I started to go to church, I was really disrespectful to my parents, would always be out late, and did drugs. Once I started to go to church, my whole life changed and became a different person. I got to know who Jesus Christ was and accepted him into my life as my only lord and savior. Someone that has been a positive influence in my life and has helped me on this journey is my pastor 's wife.
As we are in a team, I believe there are couple things need to be sure before we start the work. So we can follow the rules, and get good score on our projects. First thing is about our team overall goal. I believe that everyone in our team want to get into Kelley, or already in Kelley. To be successful in Kelley, all our projects need to get the high grades.
Last year I realized I lost and had no friends, I started to get depressed and did not want to do anything anymore. I learned that this was a crisis and my adrenaline started pumping. It took me awhile to figure out I do not need anybody that does not need me. I learned that once something bad happens, you realize you are not alone in this world. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad.
I woke up one morning heading to school when my mom got a call and heard that she has died and couldn't believe it, so I totally changed as a person for that day emotionally by zoning people out and being in my own world. The thing that really affected was that she used to be the motivation for me to go to church and help the community with elderly luncheons and sending clothes through the church back to Russia. I began to lose concentration of the church since Ii had no one to keep me in the loop and away from all of the emotional that has built up inside of me through the lose of my grandmother. This kind of poverty can soon be taken or go away later in my life but in the moment through the years I totally forgot about it and was
The USA women’s national soccer team has many different formations which they play the game in. In the 2015 FIFA women’s world cup the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) were first playing a 4,4,2 (4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 2 forwards.) This formation wasn’t letting Lauren Holiday, Carli Lloyd and Morgan Brian play all together all at once on the field. Then when Jill Ellis, the girls coach, changed the formation she switched to a 4,2,3,1. This formation let those players play together with Lloyd and Brian play together as center midfielders, and then Holiday playing right in front of them.
Seeing the positivity in every situation had helped me forgive others. Society tends to view forgiveness as moving past an issue without ever finding
Last week, my soccer coach gave me the position of captain. The captain 's role is to lead the team through the game by using strategy and critical thinking. In other words, I would be a coach 's assistant. I 'd never had that responsibility before, and the prospect of me being in charge of the game-play and having to think for the good of the group was a frightening one. As an introvert with a tendency to keep quiet and follow along, the thought of not being able to do this worried me.
