My dad was in the United States Air Force for 20 years. I was born in England. After being there for a three years my father was stationed in Florida. While in Florida, I remember playing soccer as a child. The team I played for ended up and playing at the city championship game. I was only seven years old then. When I turned eight my father was again sent to Japan. While in Japan, I played baseball for two different teams. The one team I played for was for little league only when we played fellow American teams. The other team I played for we traveled all over Japan playing Japanese children. It was a lot of fun playing against other cultures and learning about them and their sportsmanship. The first time I played against them, I never saw a curve ball thrown before. Not only did I have to learn how to play baseball, but I also learned good

    The credible article from the University library I selected was The Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, by McFadden, Joan R; Rawson Swan, Kay T. I selected this article, because it shows the changes in health and family roles that can lead to increased stress and/or depression or alternatively to feelings of well-being ultimately resulting in a midlife crisis. In the article the authors suggest that there is a need for "life transition" courses for women who are interested in understanding how to improve their health and well-being. The actual midlife crisis starts in order to establish the suggested changes…

    For the past ten years, I have been involved in the development of Navarro College’s online program. When I arrived at Navarro College in the fall of 2000, we had approximately twelve online course sections, with just a little over 100 students. At the time, Navarro College had a total enrollment of approximately 3,800 students. Today, the online program alone has approximately 3,500 students during the fall and spring semesters out of a total college enrollment of just below 11,000. The growth has been phenomenal, and I am fortunate to have been…

    I started playing baseball when I was seven years old and I am blessed for the opportunity to play in college. I view baseball as a mirror of life. A large group of people view baseball as a dull and uneventful game, which is partly why I find it is strikingly similar to life. In baseball nine players play and they all focus their attention on one ball. That ball might never come to a couple of those nine players, but every player has to remain focused and prepared every pitch. If they lose attention or get lazy, their opportunity to make a play may vanish in seconds before they even know what happened. In life there are millions of people and their focus is being successful. Not everyone can be the big shots in their workplace immediately, so they must work persistently and prepare for their opportunity to prove themselves. If they are not prepared and don’t perform then they will not be successful. Life has a way of catching us at the wrong time when we are not prepared, but I feel like baseball has truly better prepared me for moments like this in life. Parents need to understand the skills…

    The article I have chosen to review and summarize for this assignment addresses selectivity during social information processing. It investigates whether or not this selectivity evolves with age and social experience. This article was chosen because it is informative and interesting. The author chose to use the technique of experimentation to analyze whether or not increased age affects the way in which humans process social information. The article provides clear detailed documentation of these experiments and their results. What this article and these experiments suggest provide another piece to the puzzle of social development issues.…

    Every single day I was outside either playing catch or working out. I remember at the time I was playing for the St Louis Sting, I continued the season to have the most innings pitched, lowest earned run average, second highest batting average, most doubles, most strike outs, and I also pitched my first no-hitter. Without having the dedication or motivation none of this could have happened. I went from playing catch once a week to everyday. I also would continue on and play baseball at Parkway South High School and lead that season in strikeouts. As I grew older I started to realize that I have the capability to play baseball for the rest of my life and that's something that is unexplainable. To be able to do something you love to do for the rest of your life is remarkable to me. I get that all because of a game.…
