Draft Lol: A Short Story
draft lol
I feel like a messed up 17 year old, just the same as I did the past 16 years of my life. I've never tried to be perfect; in fact I'd never even tried to "fit in" with everyone else. I try to be me (yes I know that's cliché) and not be a copy of society's straightened and perfectly fit members.
"Are you ready? We leave in 20 minutes", says Maurice, my stepmom. She's been with our family for 7 years, ever since my mom and dad had a divorce. When I was 13 my dad told me that financial complications was the reason why they split, but somehow I feel like it was me. I felt like I was the root of all the complications, although I have a sister named Dianne who's a year older, who is another person to put the blame on, but still, I think

    The average age for NBA drafting is 24 years old. Compared to the minimum, 19, there is a big gap because the players are not capable of being drafted when 19. Therefore, high school players shouldn't be eligible for the NBA draft. Making high school players eligible for the NBA draft prevents them from getting a basic education, makes it harder to find good players, and makes the new players more prone to getting injured.…

    One question that many people ask is, should pros be allowed to draft players before they graduate, most people don’t agree with this. Although many sports team draft players before they graduate would it affect the player’s future. There are a lot of things that the player should think about, if they are going to have a good rookie season, should he leave earlier so he doesn't get a career ending injury, and if their ready for the challenge .…

    I chose this topic because I really like football. I also really enjoy fantasy football. I wanted to know how to always win in fantasy football. I wanted to know the best way to draft. I think the best way to draft was to draft wide receivers. That is a pretty good strategy for drafting, but I found one that could be better. I already know that drafting wide receivers helps because when I’ve drafted good wide receivers I've made the playoffs twice with one championship in three seasons. The one season I didn't make the playoffs I won the consolation playoffs. One thing I wanted to learn was I wanted to know more about team’s offensive lines. The only offensive line I know is really good…

    Parents are often told to “think about the children.” Doctor Judith S. Wallerstein, the Executive Director of the Center for the Family in Transition, California, stated in her scholarly journal : “A comprehensive review of research from several disciplines regarding long-term effects of divorce on children yields a growing consensus that significant numbers of children suffer for many years from psychological and social difficulties associated with continuing and/or new stresses within the post-divorce family and experience heightened anxiety in forming enduring attachments at later developmental stages including young adulthood.” In this, Wallerstein is making the claim that divorce effects children so deeply that they suffer from stress, anxiety, and psychological and social difficulties. While these have been common results, divorce is sometimes in the well-being of all family members. If parents argue often, disrupting and terrifying children, (especially if young) then separating would relieve family members from the anxiety that arguments and fighting cause. Robert E. Emery, a Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Children, Families, and the Law, Virginia, claims experts are often confused on the true effects of divorce on children. In his article, he includes children whose parents’ marriage “was full of intense conflict and…

I believe divorce is a major issue in our society today; it’s not as easy as it seems and occasionally affects children who is involved in the divorce.…
