Trusting The Process
Growing up the youngest of three older brothers my parents would always hold me to a higher standard and always expected me to be better than them and not make the same mistakes they made. I would say it matured me a lot faster then most kids my age and made me a really competitive person because I always wanted to be better then them in everything we did to make my parents happy and to show my brothers that i’m just as good as them.
My brothers being 5, 9, and 11 years older than me I wanted to show them I wasn’t a pushover and I could do anything they could do and I could do it better. We were all expected to play at least one sport and my favorite was football, I would watch football every weekend and wake up at 6 am

But we weren’t aloud to play football until 7th grade so I had to wait an entire year without football and I was sad. So me and my brother would go in the backyard and he would just help me practice. Before we could play football we had to get a physically and during that physically the doctor found out that I had a swollen spleen and I couldn’t play any contact sports because if I got hit in the right spot just hard enough it could make my spleen start to bleed and kill me. I was absolutely devastated, I begged my mom to just let me play but she wouldn’t let me risk my life for football. On the car ride home I was silent just thinking about how football was taken away from me and how much time I wasted on it.
Surprisingly it brought me closer to the game and it made me realize that I just have to Trust The Process and believe. I still follow football religiously and I always will but although I would rather being playing football I realized that I want to do something with football when I get older. I don’t know if that’s becoming and Scout or a Coach but I know I want to continue my passion for football and I realized that no matter what happens in life, it happens for a reason and you should just Trust The Process and
In the play Doubt, by John Patrick Shanly, Sister Aloysius is treating Father Flynn unfairly. Sister Aloysius is the principal of St. Nichols School, who is suspicious and always doubt everyone, especially Father Flynn. She thinks that Father Flynn is guilty, but has no proof. Sister Aloysius doesn’t like Father Flynn in the school and his ideas. She treats him unfairly. Sister Aloysius treats Father Flynn unfairly when she still accuses Father Flynn of giving the altar wine to Donald Muller after Father Flynn tells her the truth. She treats him unfairly by forcing him to request the transfer without proving if Father Flynn is guilty or not and also makes him resign by lying about his past.
Process philosophy is known as the idea that everything is changing. Over the years, process philosophy has changed the way humans exist and go about their day to day lives.

Then we will discuss the effects process philosophy has had on marriage and family, followed by a brief commentary.
Growing up in a small town, football had always been a huge deal to what seemed to be everyone besides me, at the time I would have rather stayed at home and wasted my life away being lazy. I started to play at the age of six to fuel my
Not only do we know the effects of playing football at a young age, we also have real life stories that have occured to real people. For example, In 2006 a 13 year old named Zachary Lystatdt’s head hit the ground in a routine tackle. He was in pain, so the coach took him out of the game for two plays. He returned to the game and on the last play he collapsed. Zachary was rushed to the hospital and was required to have emergency neurosurgery. After this life changing surgery, 9 months later he was finally able to communicate. Now, he is still learning how to walk (Hamblin, James. “Football Alters the Brains of Kids as Young as 8.”)This story sets an example of why children should not be able to play contact sports until adulthood. Unfortunately, this is not the only sad story about a child who has had life changing effects from playing

Those hot days in those great summers football was my favorite pastime. I lived in a house with two sisters and no brothers the most close thing to a brother was my football some friends and the field.
The feeling of my bone snapping in my knee during practice knowing that the injury was going to make me miss some of the games at the start of the season. My official visit to Wake Forest University and seeing a dead body in the health building and also hearing the coaches tell me, “We are offering you a full athletic scholarship to attend Wake Forest.” Finally, my last high school football game concluding in a loss in the playoffs to Lamar high school. All of these memories affected me in ways in which Coackley states, “changing or ending sport participation.” Getting injured was a quick way to realize that anything can happen and how suffering from an injury could end sport participation. Getting a scholarship immediately made me think about the influence and encouragement of my friends and coaches about participating in football. After my last high school game made me realize that I can’t play football forever and that it is going to come to an end one
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

It was simple, at first thought, my career was over. As I was rushed to the hospital, I thought I was never going to play football again. The pain was so unbearable, that every bump in the road would sent a shooting pain throughout my leg. I was for certain that I would never return the field again.
For as long as I can remember football has been a part of my life in some way, shape, or form. When I was first born my grandfather said that I was solid and built to play football. I used to throw the football with my mother when I was a toddler and she always told me that when I tried to tackle her I hit really hard. My first organized football experience was when I was five. I had just moved to Manassas, VA from Washington, D.C. in 1994. It was around fall and that was right at the beginning of football season in the area. I remember telling my mother that I wanted to play, so she looked for a local organization for children. She came across the Greater Manassas Football League (GMFL) and that is where I began to play the game I love.
Be that as it may I still loved the sport and did my very best to follow it. My dad started a flag football team for myself and my friends, this was where I became infatuated with it. Unfortunately after a slew of injuries in the off season I wasn 't able to play for 2-3 years. However once we moved back to the United States I was finally able to strap on pads and begin the sport I had so longed for. Coming back from Europe was truly a strange time. Getting readjusted to the culture, seeing new places, this was a huge event in my life. Football was a sense of normality for me, it was constant. I used the sport to not only entertain myself but to also interact and relate with
Process Management can be defined as a concept which helps integrate performance excellence and quality into the strategic management of organizations. Process management includes activities such as defining a process, establishing responsibilities, evaluating process performance and also identifying opportunities for improvement. Innovation, on the other hand, can be defined as the conversion of knowledge and ideas into new or improved products, processes or services to gain competitive advantage. After reading the first article it is clear that it focuses mainly on three different programs that are associated with process management. These three processes are listed as TQM, ISO 9000, and Six Sigma.
Magic tricks have fascinated people of all ages for centuries. From David Copperfield to Chris Angel, many performers use magic to amaze and astound. One of the least elaborate types of magic tricks is the card trick. There are two main types of card tricks: there are mathematical card tricks and sleight of hand card tricks. The former are simple to learn, but do not impress audiences. To really attract attention, an aspiring magician should learn sleight of hand card tricks. Sleight of hand card tricks are tricks that use misdirection and special manipulations of a deck of cards to do something seemingly impossible. The techniques involved require much practice. While performing a sleight of hand trick, a magician must constantly be distracting the audience. Because of this, many people believe that they are not capable of learning sleight of hand magic. In order to prove them wrong, I will describe a simple sleight of hand trick that anyone can learn, as long as they remember that we all have the potential inside of us to do magic.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
