Life Goals “Today, I will expand our operations beyond building robots by releasing this company’s first production car.” Loud cheers erupt as I announce this. “There are many new standards brought about by this car, including new technologies such as ETC, CHR, Tektronic, 4AWD, CVTs, UFE, and AWS. And here is the car itself!” Louder cheers erupt as the curtains are pulled back and the sleek futuristic body compels the audience to applaud. Elon Musk didn’t get as much attention when he released the Model S, I think. “You can know that our standards of excellence have been brought over from robots in your home to cars in your garage.” This is what I hope to say, more or less, in around 20 years. One of the common themes throughout my life is …show more content…
I played on a flag football team, where my age surpassed the rest of the players. I did pretty well in that league, where I always found the flags of my opponents and pull them, no matter which direction they dashed to. Playing tackle football in 8th grade, therefore, greatly excited me. I went to another school to play football, and I did okay there. On day three, we got pads, and I learned that competing well with people who had much greater size and/or athleticism than me seemed no harder than trying to win a home run derby with Hank Aaron. We all feared the really good linemen who had much more athleticism and experience than us, me included. Once I bypassed a six foot nine teammate with a spin move, and that surprised me greatly. I decided not to continue, as I didn’t want to keep getting destroyed and sacrifice my time for something that would never come to …show more content…
Reed. He did something that probably began the transition that turned my desire from a pipe dream into an ever more real future event: he challenged me to write calculator programs. My first program involved a Riemann sum program for any function. I kept building on this, so that it could do all four types of sums and, in addition, draw out the sum on my calculator. I had done programming in Scratch, but real uses existed for this program to assist with. I also joined robotics that year. I worked with Lego NXT kits to build robots to compete with other robots. Since I didn’t know any C or Java to write code for the robot, I just built the robots. My childhood experiences with Legos turned into me building robots with great structural integrity. Eventually, the battlebots challenge, where robots try to push each other off a ring, came around. I built a basic frame, expanded the frame to put the motors in a tightly compacted form, and built a lifter on the front. I eliminated essentially all the weak points possible by wiggling the frame and reinforcing the shaky spots, but I soon ran out of pieces to reinforce with. In one competition, our robots pushed against each other, and then I heard a crack. Surely enough, when I went to see where it came from, our robot did not fail. Every painstaking check on structural integrity had paid off. This success lead me to jump at a vacancy on
I had been told that it was much harder and the players were bigger faster and stronger, so I thought that I was not going to be the Tom’s next favorite target and that I got lucky in youth football by playing against a bunch of unskilled players. However I soon found out the middle school football was just as like youth football I would receive a short screen pass and then mostly because I was afraid to be tackled I would take off and score. With Jared throwing me the ball from either the line of scrimmage or forty yards down field we were unstoppable. We suffered one loss in our middle school career and went undefeated our 8th grade year. Yet again I was sure to be Tom’s next go to
Chapter 1 has familiarity in my life. In the 8th Grade my father moved us to the Midwest from Southern California; culture shock! Dad decided that I should play football at the Junior High, after all my cousin played on the team, and so did my father when he was in school. Most of the other players were a minimum of one year older than me. It is common practice for parents to hold their boys back a year to start school; this gives the boys a size advantage in sports. By the time adolescence rolls around, one year makes a big difference in a young man’s size. Also, I was born in November; not a prime year for sports league cut-offs. When it came playing football, I was severely outsized by my teammates. Due to my experience, I tend to agree with having sports league try-outs split into semesters or trimesters to allow the same opportunities available to more players.
Automobiles are 100% ran on electric, they include wireless updates, auto pilot, massive batteries, chargers, and the design. The model 3 features a price point that is very similar to a gas-powered car in the modern century. The back seats are ultra-modern that can accommodate baby seats and the back seats can be folded down to produce more trunk space just like cars today. There are many more aspects about the model 3 that make it futuristic. The model 3 can go 0 to 60 in under 5.1 seconds for an electric car. The interior features a 15-inch tablet and the roof is basically all glass. It features new door handles that is flush with the doors but when pushed in the right corner the handle will pop out and you can use it normally. (4) Tesla is still manufacturing the models S,3, and X. There are many benefits to self-driving cars. Some of these benefits would include having fewer accidents, less traffic congestion, increased highway captivity, lower fuel consumption, and enhanced human productivity. (5) Self-driving cars seem to be at the forefront for innovation and safety. Self-driving cars are revolutionizing how we will get around for decades to come. They include the top innovation and technology that we have to offer, and will be the largest innovation since Henry Ford’s assembly line.
Freshman year of football almost drove me to quit football. The coaches drove us harder and made us work our tails off. That year taught me to work even harder than before. My sophomore year was even more taxing than the year before, trying to show the coaches that I belong and that I will try to beat the upperclassmen in anything that I could. Junior year I didn’t get to play varsity and that drove me to work even harder to get a starting spot for my senior year. By the time I got to my junior year, I finally got out of my comfort zone and I wouldn’t just take a hit, I would deliver one. And when senior year rolled around I finally got a starting spot on the varsity offense. I finished my senior season with one catch for thirty eight yards. High school football taught me to trust people; coaches, teammates, and friends. Without them none of it would have happened.
Athletics has made a difference in my life through its redefining of the word “success.” Before I got involved with track and cross country, success was measured by goals I set and achieved for myself that made me happy. Since then, I have realized that success is much more gratifying when it is dependent on making those around me proud. In track, success is when I have trained hard enough so that I am able to help my relay team win a race or break the school record. In cross country, success is when I have built up enough endurance to contribute to the team score and help my team move on to the state meet. This mentality has translated to my daily life, as I am constantly working hard to please those around me. At school, I always do my homework and get good grades so that my teachers do not have to focus extra energy on getting me to do my work. At work, I strive to go above and beyond my typical duties so that I can lessen the responsibilities of my co-workers. At home, I help out with chores without being asked so that my parents can have one less thing
My 8th grade year around the month of February people were starting to recognize spring football was right around the corner. I was a middle school stud says most coaches I played bandit and sometimes safety full time. Tine seemed to fly faster and faster day by day the team was coming ! Spring had finally come and walking on the I was a pretty favorable upcoming freshman by coaches and players. The first couple of practices were great I never known so much went into high school football but I eventually found out. My knee was hurting a lot my 7th grade year because of ball that
Sadly, my family was going through financial struggles, forcing me out of the school zone I was destined to attend. When I discussed the situation wih the high school coaches they told me they would pick me up from my new house and take me to school every day; with the condition that I’d play football for them all throughout high school. Even though this was illegal I continued to go ahead and accept the offer. My first year of high school was so exciting that it went by in the blink of an eye. Sophomore year came and the clock ticked closer and closer to when everything would change. I started in varsity as a corner back but soon would have big shoes to fill as the team’s quarterback. Not only did this require skill and hard work but the ability and qualities of a leader as well. Ultimately, playing this position helped me acquire traits that would soon be necessary for success. That year was tough for us because the majority of the team consisted of inexperienced players, however the coaches knew I would be the one to lead the
The doubts everyone has put on me was wrestling. My family doubted me because they were surprised that I did it. I disliked wrestling at first, I did it because of my brother. One day my brother comes back from practice and he was boasting on how he was good at it, this and that, I told him if I join it I probably can beat him, so he told the coach that I was going to be going to preseason from now on.
I remember growing up as a kid all the adults in my life would ask me the same question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My immediate answer would always be a pro football player. Now as a kid that answer was respectable and unchallenged. However, the older I got the more that answer was treated as a joke. More often than not, adults in my life would go from accepting my once career ambitions to replying with, “That’s understandable, but in reality what’s your backup plan?” All throughout the years of grade school, middle school, and high school I had never really put much thought into the reality of what I would be if football didn’t work out. It was not until the second semester of my senior year in high school that I actually started to realize that I had no other passion besides football.
Tech savvy consumers are going to be amazed by this ever growing technology and they will have something that almost nobody has. The cars themselves are a new technology but when the interior tech is added to the mix – the targeted audience will be attracted. As Tesla will be targeting slightly wealthier customers it will come as a no surprise that most of them are bussinesmen and women who are professionals and would like to be present themselves with a certain look (style). According to studies, majority of people say they will buy an electric car in the near The strengths are that the supply other companies with parts; Tesla developed the first full electric car; the company is technologically superior in drive train, transmissions and electrical technology.
Rolling green hills swarming with white-thighed, polo-shirted adolescents. A crazed anime fanatic in need of therapy. A year and a half of tedium and resentment. In a meeting with my counselor before my freshman year, I was told that colleges wanted me to be smart and well rounded, and so I tried to be. Being smart was mostly nature, but my athleticism desperately needed nurturing. I joined the sport I thought would be the least torturous. I thought if I was truly terrible, my performance wouldn’t affect the team like in other sports. I reached varsity as a freshman. There were only three girls on the whole team. I tried to be the renaissance girl, the athletic academic. I was still the worst— even the least demanding sport around wasn’t for me. In three seasons, I never shot below 140; I was thankful for the handicap that allowed us to stop hitting once we reached 10 on a hole, and I used it often.
I was only five at the time and the commissioner of the league said that I couldn’t play because my birthday fell after the cutoff date by a day. My mother looked into my eyes and saw how badly I wanted this so she convinced him to let me play. I was a member of the Bandits and I was the youngest on the team. However, I wasn’t concerned with the age issue because I was just happy to play. I was never intimidated because at that age everyone was just playing and having fun. My number was 52 and I played running back. My team was horrible, and that’s just an understatement, but I made a name for myself as a hard runner. I played in the GMFL for about five or six years and then moved onto another league which was slightly bigger the Prince William County Football League (PWCFL).
It has always been said that teenagers are defiant. Like some genetic flaw in the system from the years 12 to 19. Our reasoning skills and common sense go out the window. We make stupid choices and poor decisions. We hate being told what we can not, should not, do. I was no different when my doctor told me that I would never play sports again. My entire life I have been an athlete and sports have always dominated my life. I have always expected to play sports in college because that has always been my final goal. I am currently a two sport varsity athlete in lacrosse and softball and in a matter of about thirty seconds my world was turned upside down.
The game of football is an essential determining factor that turns boys into men, and every boy at some point should learn to play the game. Not for the game itself, but for the things it teaches about working hard to achieve a goal and how to find another way to reach that goal if failure ensues the first try. The fundamentals of football were drilled into me as a three year old, along with tremendous off season workouts and being able to coach little league football and passing down my knowledge to others, are the key factors that lead to my breakout season and being one of the best players on the team.
The training and practices required to play professional football are intense. You have to wear uncomfortable pads and helmets and endure grueling practices in the heat of the summer and you have to lift weights every day (Green 174). You have to train no matter what position you play. What’s important about is how the position works and how it contributes to the game. Young boys must join high school football team, the road to football star begins in high school.
