Cell Phone Blockers

We our making and thinking of new technology every day and one of our newest things is a cell phone blocker. This allows you to be cut off in the middle of a conversation. This is a good and bad thing. Even though they are illegal in the United States of America, they are going to find there way here. I believe they are bad because they can interrupt you when you are on important call, for example if someone you now is sick or in a serious accident and you are trying to get information on them, it can interrupt you and you can miss very important information. But on the other hand it could be a good thing, for example if you are being annoyed, when you are somewhere you can instantly shut the person conversation off, and get back to being peaceful.

dangers of steroids to young athletes

Steroids in high school is a growing problem and should be talked about more. The issue starts form professionals sports because kids look up to professionals athletes as their role models. So the kids feel that if it is OK for professional athletes to take steroids, it is OK for them to take steroids. When the truth is that it is not OK to take steroids at any level of sports that you are playing, because you are not only cheating yourself but you are also cheating the game that so many people love.
A big reason why high school athletes take steroids is the drive to be the best they can be and the easiest way to get there. Another big reason for this is that kids are being pressured by coaches and there parents to be the best they can be either to help the team or trying to get a scholarship to play the sport in college. Also kids are playing the sport year round and need to have stamina all year round. Kids play a 20-25 games high school season and then play a 50 game summer season, which really can take a toll on your body.
Coaches and parents need to talk to there kids about the affects that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs can have on your body later in life. For example in a sport like you always here the coaches our always telling their players to get in the weight room and become bigger and stronger. In this article this coach said he found him self telling his athletes, they need to gain strength and size. This coach along with many others that believe that coaches and parents all need to talk to young athletes about taking steroids.

Basketball VS.Baseball

For my comparison essay I chose to compare basketball v. baseball because I play both sports and love to play them. I will write about the things they have in common and the things thta make each of theses sports unique. I think that writing this comparison essay will help other people understand the true meaning of what these sports really are. This essay could help someone decide whether or not a person wants to play a sport.

Comparison Blog

During class we have learned about the Flip Flop method and the block method. After reading several article I believe that you can use both effectively, but I like the flip flop method the best. Using the flip flop method method you can give the reader information about both of them in a sequence of every other one which kinds helps the reader remember about the previous method. I also think the block method can be used effectively but it is a bit more difficult to remember what you read, because you may be reading about one topic for 3 or 4 paragraphs and then switch to another topic for another 3 or 4 paragraph's. I feel that it is harder to remember what you read that way.

intro

I didn’t realize at the time how much one piece of paper with the words, “Bartlesville, Oklahoma,” would mean to me. Playing baseball this past summer on the Branford Post 83 American Legion Senior team turned out to be the ride and experience of a life time. I should have known from the start that this wasn’t going to be like any other team I had played on before. That this team was indeed special, destined for great things, big moments and a once in a life time experience.
