The Best things that has happened all year

I have learned a lot in this class. When I began this class I had no idea what to expect. This is a great class. When I started out I can tell you that I began this class with a down heart but I knew that if I would just keep my head up and keep on walking that things would work themselves out in the end. It is crazy how I say this but this is really how things work. No matter what happens if you continue to try your hardest and continue to push even the bad things that sting will sting worse. Well that doesnt sound to good. But it is true. I am hurting physically, emotionally, and I am drained. I am completely to my end but everyday I must continue to push because I am unsure of what will happen if I do not continue to strive. It seems that everyday that there is not much difference between the sky and deepest pit that will send you into dispair that is extremely hard to climb yourself out of. I was really thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Professor Paul his personality is one of a kind and can bring the best out of those who really do not know how to tap into their own abilities. I am not sure. I guess it may just be the way that he approaches it or the that he is working amongst scholars all day. But I can say that I have really gained a lot from this experience, a lot of confidence in writing that I didn't have before. More anx and the willingness to put things on paper that most would condone as extreme and as something that should not be displayed in front of your typical people.

PAUL THANK YOU. THIS CLASS HAS THOUGHT ME ALOT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HELP AND THE SUPPORT!!! This semester has really been a test of endurance and I know that this semester has really taught me to appreciate everything because when things go bad it is hard to keep a straight and narrow.

Thank you once again.

Wolverine

This movie was outstanding and amazing just a thrill. One of the best movies that I have seen when it comes to watching a comic film. I was not an immediate reader of the comic books however I think that the creators of the film tried to do their best jobs of going through the movie and trying to relate the movie to the comic book the best way they possibly could.

I don't know I grew up watching the highly televised cartoon on FOX when I was younger and played the arcade games when I was younger but I guess I never really got into the story lines until recently. I wish that there was more to the story as if it could go more in depthed and really let us now more rather than breifly giving us the brief story lines. I really wish that we could have the opportunity to watch the lives in slow motion to see what goes on in the off times.

However it was amazing. The movie contained a great assortment of characters that we know from that time frame in the cartoons. I was extremely shocked when John died in the movie. It seemed extremely PG compared to the way these heroes die in the comic books. I must say that this has got to have been my all time favorite homework assignment assigned to date. I need to frequent the movie theater is what I am finding out.

Great overall movie and I would prescribe this movie to anyone who loves Wolverine, the cartoons, comics, and video games presented by Marvel. It is all just a good thrill.

Hello, My Name is John Patrick and over the past couple of years I’ve been experiencing a fair amount of excitement in the ups and downs that are associated with the basketball culture. I typically do not speak about events that happen all the time, however since I have to share my insights in a Narrative I thought I would share in my knowledge on the secret culture that comes with the territory. In basketball there are many immediate emotions that are obtained throughout the process, disappointment, patience, anger, excitement, and thrill. However there is not an extreme amount of gratification from these emotions unless you have been submerged into it, placed right into the thick of things. This way the amount of work you have placed in is successfully obtained and a wonderful display when it is all said and done.

For Instance my sister Tracey is also a basketball player. She has recently experienced an outstanding basketball season with her team. Even though she is in her last year of the middle school she rode the bench a great deal of the year. As a brother it is definitely not the easiest thing to see your sibling not excel and definitely tougher when it is your younger sister. However, I knew that that was what was best for her, she needed time to marinate in the sport and that is apart of the territory of the game. The maturity does not come over not, but the feeling that she exonerated from making the team and the exuberance she displayed at practice was all that anyone needed to see to know that she has conquered a hurdle many have a trouble apprehending. And that is basically how basketball is, maturing at your own speed and enjoying the spectacle of if all the same. We all have to wait mature into the player that you want to be.

To make a long story short, Basketball is an intricately woven and very beautiful machine when you are able to lubricate the right portions to allow it ride smoothly. When you experience an intense combination of workouts it shapes and molds an amazing and unique individual with an amazing deal of confidence, and skill for the benefit of the team survival throughout a season. This experience is a once in a lifetime type of feeling and would send anyone into ups and downs who is expecting to achieve the best in every thing. However, it is not just the game that makes basketball season what it is, it is the culture lifestyle and most importantly the maturity that comes with it that makes it one of the best experiences that you could enjoy in this lifetime.
