Arizona Diamondback Video Analysis
It's about twelve o'clock at night and I'm just now getting ready to go to sleep. As I lie down on the bed I feel a sudden urge to grab my phone and watch a couple of videos before I fall asleep. I open up the YouTube app and begin scrolling through numerous videos. Approaching the bottom of my suggested videos, I see a certain video that caught my eye. The video said how a young boy would be able to live out his dream of being a major league baseball player for his favorite team. Intrigued by the caption, I clicked on the video. The story was about a young boy named Kyle who suffered from a illness called SMA (Spinal muscular atrophy). Kyle and his sister were both born with this disease and most children with SMA dont make it past the age of two. The video explained how Kyle was a huge Arizona Diamondbacks fan, and that his one wish was to meet and play for the Diamondbacks. Eventually his wish was granted by an organization by the name of Make-A-Wish foundation. The foundation was able to contact the MLB and arrange the wish with the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. Then Kyle finally got to live out his dream and meet his favorite players and eventually sign a contract with the Diamondbacks. As I saw Kyle having the time of his life and living …show more content…
They provide services so the kids are able to live out their dreams. The ability to make their dreams come true completely changes the attitudes of the ill children, and inspires them to keep fighting and to never give up. Before this I had very little knowledge about this organization and all the amazing things it has accomplished. Now I know how important it is to the lives of children and people all over the United States. There is nothing better than knowing you helped put a huge smile on a child who was so close to giving up and inspiring them to keep up the fight and anything can become a

    Normally when someone thinks of volunteering at the Special Olympics, they probably think of the fact that it is community service and it is something that looks good on applications for a job or college. What they do not think about is how rewarding and incredible the experience actually is. Growing up, I had always been around mentally challenged adults and children because my mom works with them through Central Valley Regional Center as an intake counselor. When she asked me if I wanted to volunteer one year, I was excited and figured if anything, it would be a fun time. However, I had come to find out that it wasn’t just “fun”, it was a learning experience for me also. There is definitely much more behind it than just helping the athletes compete. It is an awesome opportunity to experience all the positive energy and personal achievement. Every year I find myself bonding and cheering on my peers whose challenges like Downs Syndrome or autism disappears between us while our main focus is on their events they compete in. Not many people take the time to volunteer or some just don’t even know how to go about doing so. I make sure to spread the word that it is open for anyone and everyone to volunteer their time. I choose to bring someone new with me every year to share the gratifying experience by my side in hopes that they can help spread awareness of this event and get others interested as well. That very first year of volunteering with my mom a few years back, there was an incident that took place that helped me right then and there, realize that I wanted to come back every year for the rest of my life. I left the event that day with a new appreciation for life, which I have continued to do every other time since then. The feeling of joy I get anytime the inspiring athletes are surrounding me will never fade.…

    No Kids Hungry is a great organization. Having little or no food is a huge issue in society today. Most children come to school hungry because they do not have enough to eat at home. It is sad that sometimes children only meal is in school. I am glad to hear that this organization provide meals for children outside of school. Not being able to eat a good balance meal can cause health issues and the child will not be able to function on their school work because all they can think about is being hungry. I was also please that No Kids Hungry is making progress in the community level because certain communities need more program and funding than others.…

    The part of my life I am about to recount was during the summer of 2014 when I was the starting pitcher and third hitter for the Drexel Hill Little League tournament team. Now, baseball is america’s pastime and in my words is the greatest sport on god's green earth. A little background on the sport is it’s a game of nines. Nine starting players on each team try to score as many runs in nine inning by hitting a nine inch baseball coming in at an average speed of ninety miles per hour. This leaves the batter with about .16 Seconds to react to the pitch and hit it with all their power with a bat about 36 inches long and 2.75 Inches in diameter. I was first introduced to the sport when I was only seven years old and my father, who is also a huge…

    This past Summer, as part of my social justice service hour requirement, I volunteered as a big buddy at the Miracle League of Green Bay.The Miracle League is a program that allows children and teens with a disability to play baseball. A big buddy helps one of the players run the bases and hit the ball. Every week you play a different team but have the same buddy. As a big buddy it is also your job to communicate with the player and get to know more about them. My favorite part of this experience was getting to know my player. My player (name), was an eleven year old boy. When I first met him I thought it was going to be hard to relate or talk to him however, as the season went on I realized I was totally wrong. I asked him about what interested…

    “Rob Pent retires from the NBA at the peak of his career to care for sick daughter.” This was the headline for every sports network that existed. One of the best male basketball players walked away from the game all for his little girl, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Rob was faced with a major dilemma when him and his wife found out that their daughter had cancer. Rob could keep on playing, of course; most athletes in his position do. But he couldn’t settle with the fact that he would be away from home so often while his family needed him. He didn’t know how everyone else handled it so well. He decided he had to quit basketball so he could spend all of his time with his daughter, who might not be around for much longer.…

    As a youth group member, I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to New Orleans in the summer of 2011. During my stay, I was able to help others in a way that changed my life. When I was helping serve food, picking up trash, and helping to restore a church, I looked at children and families who were receiving that help. Their faces were priceless. It was like they won the lottery. Helping young and old, children, and families who were less fortunate than me, made me realize that I want to help people in some way when I grow up. That’s what made me want to pursue a career in health education after I graduate.…
