My life has constantly been changing since I was two years old just because of three words. “I’m being deployed.” These words are life altering and being told that phrase as many times as I did growing up, I knew the familiar waves of emotion all too well. I could recognize the words before they even formed out of my dad’s mouth. Being able to understand that a deployment isn’t just a short trip overseas, its months, maybe more than a year of being away from home. That concept was so hard for me

the U.S. Championships, two gold medals in single sculls at the Pan American Games, a bronze medal at the 1984 Olympics in the double sculls with her sister Daniele. Laumann rapidly emerged as the leader of a new and much improved Canadian women's rowing team. After a disappointing 7th place finish in the doubles event at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, she moved to the singles sculls and began training with the men's team. By 1991 she had become the premier women's rower in the world, winning the

Wayne Gretzky, also known as The Great One, was born to be an athlete. Wayne Gretzky played his first NHL game when he was seventeen years old and played for twenty one years until he was thirty seven. He was so good that people from all over the world would come and watch him play. Because Gretzky accomplished so many things in his early life, won many awards because of his stats, and played on so many teams which he helped them succeed, Wayne Gretzky is the greatest NHL player One reason, Wayne

“The heart gets confused when it is constantly told I love you by the same person who destroys it”-R.h Sin. This portrays the moral idea of billions of abused individuals , as well as the characters in Purple Hibiscus. As a human being, we are always longing for companionship. But sometimes, one is too blinded by love in that relationship to notice that love is tainted; by emotional and physical torment. This reigns true for Kambili, the protagonist , and Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda N. Adichie

Competition is a social process that involves a number of individuals or groups who seek to improve the quality of performance with better quality and higher speed with the same goals and objectives in a business venture. The competition is divided into two, namely intramodal and intermodal competition. Train service providers face competition from other service trains and also called intramodal competition such as the Kuala Lumpur Monorail, RapidKL, Light Railway Transit (LRT) and others, but the

describing Phoenix Arizona, think again. For Sandusky Ohio, it was the hottest day recorded in the past ten years. At the time I was ten years old and my lacrosse team, Black Swamp had been dispatched into the championship game. If we won, a trip to Florida for the World Lacrosse Championship games were evident (ironically Sandusky Ohio was hotter than Miami Florida on June 29th, ironic). At the time I was someone who came of the bench, it was my first year playing travel lacrosse and had only begun

Although Hester Prynne is the heroine of The Scarlet Letter, it is impossible to fully identify or sympathize with her. Do you agree? The half century between 1625 and 1675 is called Puritan period. In that period The Scarlet letter was one of the famous novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne about the puritans. In that period “It had two chief objects; the first was personal righteousness; the second was civil and religious liberty. In other words, it aimed to make men honest and to make them free” (Long

Eddie Guerrero was Chris Benoit 's best friend, and both men were never supposed to make it in the wrestling world mostly because of their size and drug addiction ( just for the addiction Eddie Guerrero ). On November 13, 2005, Guerrero was found unconscious in his hotel room (The Marriott City Center) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by his nephew, Chavo. Chavo attempted CPR, but Guerrero was pronounced dead when paramedics arrived on the scene. An autopsy revealed that Guerrero died as a result of acute

While the team with Jones had been very good for Steamboat, producing two Mid-Atlantic Tag Team titles and a World Tag Team Championship, as well as 1978's PWI Tag Team of the Year Award, Jones would shock fans by turning viciously on Steamboat at the end of a battle royal, triggering a lengthy feud. Capping off his year, Steamboat would win his second United States Heavyweight Championship, once again at the expense of the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. After dropping the title back to Flair on April Fool's

they recorded that he was a white male about six feet tall and around 200 pounds (jealousy). Kerrigan was still injured when the U.S. figure skating championship came around and was not allowed to compete. Her skating career was on the line (Oprah). While Kerrigan sat around waiting to heal, Harding skated to victory at the U.S. figure skating championships. All that was left to do was hope she would be able to compete in the olympics (Oprah). Rumors

“The Great Debater” directed by Denzel Washington, presents an aspiring film on educational and emotional beliefs. The story involving the Wisley College debate team included four intelligent students, and one amazing professor. Mr. Melvin Tolson portrayed a character of a strong educator, and a social activist. The students who made up the debate team are known as Samantha Booke, who is young, beautiful, and the first female to make the team that is aspiring to be a lawyer. Then there is James Farmer

Tonya, directed by Craig Gillespie, is a dark comedy and drama based on a real-life event. The movie focuses on Tonya Harding, a talented figure skater. She grew up with her father leaving her when she was four and her abusive mother, Lavona, raising her since. In 1991, she became the first American woman to complete a triple axle during a competition. In 1994, however, after Jeff, her ex-husband, was involved in the injury of another competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, it led to conflict in her skating

I positively believe women's freestyle figure skating is the best Winter Olympic sport ever to be played. Reasons why this is obviously true are: When you practice for figure skating you benefit from plenty of other exercises, such as flexibility and speed. While enjoying a fun and positive practice you can build your balance, along with boosting your self confidence to help with all your glides, twirls, and turns. All your stress you get from pressure can be lost as you glide across the ice

Tonya Harding is debatably one of the best figure skaters to have ever skated. She overcame some rough family struggles and money issues. With all of the circumstances being stated, Tonya Hardings “built up” reputation was quickly ruined when she was implicated in the attack of Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 Olympic trials. Since the 1994 Olympic trials, there have been numerous suggestions as to if she had anything to do with Nancy Kerrigans injury. Tonya is now in her late 40’s and has “moved” on from

Tonya Harding: Figure Skating’s Biggest Victim I, Tonya, a biographical comedic drama directed by Craig Gillespe, is based on the life of controversial figure skater Tonya Harding, infamously known for her involvement in the attack on rival skater Nancy Kerrigan. The film explores central themes regarding classism, gender bias, destructive relationships, and femininity in both athletic and personal endeavors. Initially gaining notoriety for her impressive athleticism and standout choices in competitive

definitely deserves to be inducted into the wrestling hall of fame. Spencer Lee has won numerous championships at both the collegiate and international levels. He won three NCAA championships in a row and has been named the most outstanding wrestler in all of those tournaments. He has also won gold medals at the Junior World Championships, the U23 World Championships, and the Senior World Championships, which are rare achievements for any wrestler.

tails bouncing side to side, making me go into a trance. Unlike any other thing that I have done before, the sport of running has pushed me to the limits and has made me work with others to achieve the title of running at the Cross Country State Championships, which our school had never done before. Running was my stress reliever, my happy place. It allowed me to be who I wanted to be without having to think about the criticism that I got from others. I could see myself as someone who

Many characters’ appearances in stories define them before they even speak. Similar to when people judge one another based on their clothing, the audience of a story makes assumptions about the characters by what they wear. However, the characters’ clothing does much more than convey information about the wearer: it sets the scene, interacting and blending with the setting to create cohesion. Memoirs of a Geisha, “Miss Brill,” Suits, and Hannibal all portray central characters whose descriptions
