I believe in baseball. Baseball allows many people to enter the doors of competition through recreation with others. My first year of baseball I didn’t have a care in the world, I would run with my head up so my helmet would fall off and I would kick up dust into the fielder’s face. Now I play with burning ambition and act like there isn’t any other place in the world i’d rather be when I am on the field. This impressive game has changed my life. At the beginning of my baseball career, I would

“Women’s Rights to Play Professional Baseball” “It’s not about women acting like men. It’s about women acting like women and being successful.” ~Zooey Deschanel. Although this quote was said by an actress, this quote is a very powerful quote about women getting their rights and being accepted into the “males are the only powers” kind of society. This big key factor was always put into action since we first came to America. This is something that is remarkably important to me. That is, in 1943, while

be like his family. The middle of the story is when Doug starts to make friends and to not be the bad guy as much.

Lupe Medrano, a shy girl who spoke in whispers, was the school’s spelling bee champion, winner of the reading contest at the public library three summers in a row, blue ribbon awardee in the science fair, the top student at her piano recital, and the playground grand champion in chess. She was a straight-A student and—not counting kindergarten, when she had been stung by a wasp—never missed one day of elementary school. She had received a small trophy for this honor and had been congratulated by

Environmental Justice: Climate Change While there are plenty of pressing issues of the world, one particular issue takes the prize of being the potentially the most damaging and urgent issue that humans have to take on, and that is: climate change.

A workshop ran by Antonio D. Evans explains how the integration of baseball in his life introduced him to challenges of diversity. Yet, the game of baseball was able to teach him many things about diversity in today’s society especially because he is an African American male.

It wasn’t until his assistant coach

I believe everyone enrolled themselves in sporting events or playing with sport facilities in sport club minimum once in their lifetime.
