... what good soccer players played like. That first year I was one of the last kids to be called, and just barely made the team. I was the "scrub" of the group, I always sat the bench, and never started. I was the kid no one wanted to be stuck with in partner drills and the kid no one wanted to pick to fill up there team when we scrimmaged ourselves. I was the kid who had to pick it up or be cut from the team, something had to give. My fourth year on the team was like the ending of an era. Our three best players on the team had informed the coach before the season started that next year they would be leaving the Strikers to go play in the premier league. ...
... out stretched hands. That was just it. Once in America, my father and mother expected success to land in the palm of their hands. Unfortunately, it did not. Without a formal education and the ability to speak English, it was impossible for them to exploit the opportunities that were presented. I, being the youngest in my family, watched as both my older brothers began working right out of high school. Thus, they also have yet to utilize the endless resources that an education has to offer. As I reflect on the past and examine the present, I focus more on my future. Seeing first hand the tribulations my family has faced, I have gained an undying determinatio ...
... shops with park and go accessibility. With the shops downtown you can park and the walk where ever you choose with much convinces. I enjoy shopping in Maysville since we have a variety of stores to choose from. We have a country club that is full of fun activities to do including golf. The YMCA is a great place to work out at. With a pool, running track, weight room, gym, and a daycare for the kids this a definite place to workout at. This town has been a home to me for seven years and I have found the town to have a nice community. Every town as its problems, but this town has accomplished these problems responsibly and quickly. I shall say the move to thi ...
... not easy. After several hours of waiting, Aphrodite finally came home—and Hephaestus was there waiting for her. It was now dark, so she fumbled through the room to find a light. One was turned on before she could come across one. It startled her so! She whipped around toward the direction of the source of the light, only to find Hephaestus sitting in his favorite easy chair, a glass of red wine in one hand and a grape bushel in the other. He had the most peculiar grin on his face. "How was your day, dearest?" he asked his wife charmingly. "Did you enjoy yourself?" "Why, yes, thank you," she said cautiously, wondering why on Olympus he was acting so out o ...
... across the world are preparing to film this case, so they can bring it right to you on your television screens at home. The word is going around that at least 65 news stations are scheduled to be in New York City covering this major case. Another big issue is who the jury members will be for this very important case. Statistics show that the average number of days to select a complete jury for a case of this importance should be about 2 1/2 weeks. The judge must be sure that a variety of people are serving on the jury. Most likely, there will be lots of confusion in the selection of these jury members. The lawyers representing both Captain Smith and the peo ...

He nervously eyed the door in front of him. The big, bold lettering stated: MR.

... raft was being thrown around like a rag-doll in the turbulent waters. I felt like a rookie on his first bull-ride, and thought to myself, “I have to act fast”. I did my best to scramble to safety, as I quickly jumped out and headed to the rocky shoreline in the distance. Then and only then, did I realize the grip of death I so narrowly escaped. I was lucky, but I also realized something else, I realized that from here on out, it was nothing but adventure for me. This was my first time rafting, in fact, I had barely even heard of white water rafting until my father had suggested it to me 2 hours before we went on the river. The whole concept seemed stupid to ...
