There have been many talks about the family and the Jets organization where I am surprised at some of the comments that were made; I guess that is fine with me however I have restrained the family from responding these conjectures. This response is not meant to defend ourselves but simple to express my thoughts.
It’s a great county that we live in, which still allows everyone to have personal expression. With such freedom comes responsibility, of truth, compassion and growth. The law does not restrict us from expressing ourselves no matter if you are a parole, a saint, college drop-outs or PhD or even if your purpose is solely to discourage and not encourage someone else.
I am proud of my family, they have done their best to give the community with the best team that they could put together. It was also our hopes that those among us understood our purpose (omit) to give second chances to athletes, to showcase their talents, give another mean for them to reach out for their own success.
We’ve made no claims to be rich men having all the answers; simply we use on a budget as ...
In conclusion, it is unlawful for governor McCrory to discriminate transgender people and use his power to deny them their rights. He talks about privacy rights for people but forgot that LGBT people should have their rights and freedom as well. Transgender people have the right to decide their gender and under the Fourteenth Amendment no one has the right to discriminate them.
The debate is divided into two sides. Those opposed to the use of Redskins and all Native American names in sports, and perceive the use of such terms and imagery as racist and derogatory towards Native Americans and those for keeping the name who cite the history of the team, its links to Native American players and coaches who were part of the team when it was create...
The Millionaire Next Door written by William Danko and Thomas J. Stanley illustrates the misconception of high luxury spenders in wealthy neighborhoods are considered wealthy. This clarifies that American’s who drive expensive cars, and live in lavish homes are not millionaires and financially independent. The authors show the typical millionaire are one that is frugal, and disciplined. Their cars are used, and their suits were purchased at a discount. As we read the book from cover to cover are misconceptions start to fade. The typical millionaire is very frugal in all endeavors and finds the best discounts possible. A budget is implemented daily, monthly, and annually for a typical millionaire. They live by the budget and are goal oriented. Living well below their means is crucial for a millionaire, and discovering ways to allocate time and money more efficiently. The typical millionaire next door is different than the majority of America presumes. Let’s first off mention what it is not. The typical millionaire is surprisingly not the individual with the lavish house worth a million dollars, owning multiple expensive cars, a boat, expensive clothes, and ultimately living lavishly. The individual is frugal and often looks for discounts for consumable goods. The book illustrates the typical millionaire in one simple word: frugal. It is shocking to believe that this is true, but it does make sense. To achieve financial independence is inherently more satisfying and important than accumulating wealth. According to the book the majority of these millionaires portray characteristics of being sacrificial, disciplined, persistent and frugal. In the book it states, “Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often th...
...ble family who has been willing to do and sacrifice anything for my siblings and myself. Due to five unselfish acts, my brothers and sister were given the most incredible opportunities of our lives.
From the coach to the other players to even the fans, I felt a bit overlooked by everyone. At times I thought to myself, “Why do I even play?”. My only hope was that one day it would all pay off.
Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top. Being the team captain of my high school’s football and lacrosse team showed me how having a big responsibility to bring a group together to work as one is compared to many situations in life. Currently playing varsity football, varsity lacrosse, and track I take great pride in the activities I do. Staying on top of my academics, being duel enrolled at Indian River State College, working three nights a week, and two different sport practices after school each day shaped my character to having a hard work
I was a part of something my senior year that not many High School students will ever experience. It is one of those things that I will tell my grand kids about in years to come. The 2002 Fort Defiance Wrestling Team had a winning season with a perfect record. Our accomplishments as a team and as individuals will be in the records books at Fort Defiance High School, Virginia. Students athletes who play sports in school have dreams for their and themselves. One of these dreams is being exceptional enough to make it to the trophy case. We made it! The hard work, long practices, and discipline within the sport and us paid off. We were the first wrestling at Fort Defiance to have a perfect season.
There’s a lot of reasons in my life to be thankful for. One of the main things I’m blessed about is being an athlete. Without sports I wouldn't know what to do with my life. I’m so thankful for being blessed with no serious injuries that I’ve had to stop for. Because I play multiple sports my chances of getting hurt are more likely to happen. Of course I have minor injuries, but I’m lucky enough to not have menacing ones. Another thing to be appreciative of is the coaches I’ve had and the teammates. They have turned into family and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side. I'm also thankful for getting to state in two sports. Some people don't even get to go to state for one sport. State is a breathtaking experience and I can't wait to see what
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your commitment to our athletic program. Thanks in part to your efforts, Morton enjoyed a very successful fall sports season this year. In addition, your efforts left us headed in the right direction with real reason to look to the future. We are working to improve every facet of our district and athletics is not immune. I think it is safe to say that no one understands the value of athletics in education more than me as it was the only thing to get me through my educational experiences as a child, and arguably the attributes and skill sets that I learned in athletics have gotten me through life.

Involvement in sports has also meant that competitiveness and team-skills have become a part of my lifestyle, but I simply believe that I have a lot of patience and the willingness to learn and accept every challenge that comes my way.

All the cheer teams sit on the mat listening to teams get awards such as the spirit award, and an award called the colby sousa award. Once they announced the placements in the small division our squad bows our heads, hold hands, hoping for first place. We get to hear the team announced in second place, our grips get tighter, and our hearts race faster. They anounce our team as the champion of the small division, and the entire gym cheers so loud for us, we knew we deserved it. This was the day that my cheer team proved every team in the ECC wrong, we showed them what skills we have and what we can set our minds to in order to achieve the goals we’ve worked day and night
Anytime my team was down with not much time remaining, I would be expected to step up and lead my teammates to a victory. I understood that perseverance within sports was what made them so challenging and rewarding. Sports were truly my number one priority, until the day I would have them torn away from me.
