In the article “Playing With Pain” by Michelle Crouch, published by Scholastic SCOPE, in December 2015 and January 2016, is about how when you specialize in one sport, you put a lot pressure on yourself to do well and be the best you can be, but some consequences can be life changing.

In writings, one can see a lot of similarities in stories, whether it be something as simple as the plot or things of that nature or something deeper like the meanings behind each one of them. But along with the similarities of course come the differences, because no story can be exactly the same. If you look at “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, you can see this trend hold true.

Louis went from some random kid to being the greatest, humble person today. Laura Hillenbrand executed this perfectly through her literature. During one of Louis distance runs, Laura writes, “A lifetime of glory is worth a moment of pain. Louie though: Let go” . Being a soccer player, this touched me deeply because there is a lot of pain in being a soccer player, but scoring that goal for your team is my “lifetime of glory” that I strive for. Another stunning example is when Louis said, “I just thought I was empty and now i'm being filled.. And I just wanted to keep being filled”. When I started soccer I had the same feeling that Louis did when he said this. Soccer filled something inside of me I can't really explain to this day, but it has grown to a deep passion of mine that I will take with me to my death bed. Not only was her wise words that inspired me, but it was the incredible detail she gives sight into with the current world stance of that time

The theme of this book Where The Red Fern Grows By wilson Rawls. This quote really shows how hard Billy works and how determined he is. “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” The professional athlete Pele said this about soccer but still ties in to my theme.

The Marble Champ! Many people are determined to win a game or do good in school. Lupe in the story The Marble Champ by Gary Soto is very determined to do many things.

Both of these stories brings up a theme of to never give up in very similar but also very different ways. In the stories Women Leaders: Malala Yousafzai by Newsela and Fantasy Baseball by Alan Gratz readers experience the them in similar and different ways because one protagonist wants to help others, they both faced very difficult challenges, and they both are wanted by somebody.

Being a small framed boy, it was no walk in the park to be in such a physical sport, not to mention, he was on a league of older and much larger seventh and eighth graders. Even though he was much younger and built extremely smaller than the others on the league, Lou finally talked his uncle into letting him in on a play. The lesson he learned from this play would stick with Lou for the rest of his life. As the play unfolded, Lou stood motionless and petrified as he saw one of the large boys on the opposing team charging after him, and all he could think of was getting out of his way before he got tackled. The disappointment that he felt from his uncle as well as his team became a turning point in his life and one of the first great lessons that he learned. Young Lou had a job to do in this play during the game, and by cowering away, he turned his back on his responsibilities not only to his uncle and his team, but to himself. He vowed from then on to never make that mistake again. If he was in place to do a job, he was going to give it all he had. His theory was that even if he failed at trying, it was better to do his best than to give up on his obligations. This was one of his greatest lessons learned in teamwork.

According to the passage the league of extraordinary Loser " A kid who loved basketball, and he did not make the varsity team, so then he had to spend his time on JV working his butt off sometimes scoring as many as 40 points per game."This is important because kids should never give up on what they love because with practice they could get better. As you fail you can end up succeeding in life just by a little practice so come on get to it i know you can do it. Just think of all the bad failures that happened to famous people and they would never be there if it was not for the failure, so if you want to be someone better start now.

Since I was five years old softball and sports have been a huge part of my life. In softball, specifically, there are many times of failure and success. High school sports, for me, has taken a lot of my time, effort, and commitment. From the first day I stepped onto the court and field to the last, I want to be able to say I did my best. It has been tough and frustrating at times. I experienced failure many times, even when I did not want to admit it. My moments of failure within high school sports have turned me into the character and person I am today. It has taught me how to take failure and turn it into success. Failure has made me realize that the only way for you to succeed is for you to fail first.

It's also better to have the strength so you could accomplish your goals or dreams while you participate in that sport. I’m going to show examples that

In a Wall Street setting such as Salomon Brothers, it is overly difficult for workers to maintain their integrity. Ideally, the financial world is structured to foster conformity. In this regard, an individual is compelled to put aside his/her personal values in favor of those that belong to the organization. For instance, one is made to believe that the Liar’s Poker is an essential tool for success in the trading world. More to the point, Michael Lewis’ honesty leads to his failure in an interview at Lehmann Brothers. In a way, the corporate world is happier with people who lie about their aspirations and motives regarding service to a given company. While Lewis was convinced that his primary motivation to work at Lehmann was based on financial incentives or the desire to be rich, the interviewers expect him to talk about aspects such as yearning for new challenges and a chance to work with top professionals. Evidently, the corporate system has a predefined structure that forces individuals towards dishonesty. The emphasis on dishonesty is justified in the process that leads Lewis to get a job at Salomon Brothers; in the dialogue between Lewis

Going to a diverse boarding school I was fortunate enough to be exposed to a multitude of cultures and ideas, which has opened my mind and formed me into the open minded person I am today. In my time I accumulated friends from Nigeria, Indonesia, Australia, and so many other fascinating places with cultures that differed my own. One instance in particular which exposed me to ways in which my culture differed from my friend comes to mind. During the middle of junior year I had a friend from Seoul Korea talk to me about her possible plastic surgery endeavors in a very open and nonchalant way. I was not only surprised with the way in which my stunning friend, both inside and out, telling me that she felt the need to change her appearance, but
