¶ … born participator. That's why I've been involved with organized team sports since I was nine years old. My family and I were both surprised when my coaches decided to place me in a league two years higher than the one for my age group; I was playing with teenagers before I was ten. This early introduction to competition and teamwork remained with me throughout junior high and high school, for not a year has gone by that I have not been a member of a team. Basketball sparked my interest more than any other sport during my middle school years, and when I entered high school I was able to play for both junior and senior varsity teams. But even that wasn't enough; I was also the school football team's tight end. For many of my friends, it was either sports or schoolwork, and I know that some of them had to choose one over the other. Many students have a hard time juggling their extracurricular activities, especially those that were so time-consuming and demanding as varsity sports. However, because playing with a team is such an important part of my life, and because sports come naturally to me, I have always been able to keep my focus on academics even as I succeeded on the court or on the playing field.
Fortunately, I have been able to reap the physical and mental benefits of playing sports without losing my focus on the future and on my professional goals. My passion for sports has greatly enhanced my self-esteem, my personal vision, and my energy levels. I have made lifetime friends through organized sports and in general, athletics have enhanced my life. Most importantly, I have learned how to apply myself fully and maximize my potential while at the same time working with others in a collaborative environment. What I learn through the rigors of competition and teamwork I can apply to any area of life. Therefore, I feel entirely ready to explore career options for my future. The executive internship program will provide me with hands-on experience with the working world, and I feel completely confident that I will participate as well in this program as I do in the locker room.
Interest Groups Describe the different types of interest groups (single issue groups and public interest groups) and the goals that each type pursues. Single-issue interest groups are exactly that: groups concerned with one issue, and one issue only. Although the single interest might overlap with broader issues or related interests, the main goal of a single-interest group is to promote legislation related to the target area. For example, the National Rifle Association

This cannot really be heard in the lyrics, but the minor key of the near-tango that comprises the song is reminiscent of the feelings of intense passions unfulfilled, in many different areas of life. From the age of about eleven to fourteen or fifteen, I felt as though I had do much to bring to the world, but I couldn't really figure out how to do it. The incessant
Discussion Every one goes through many stages in life beginning at the time of conception, throughout life, and finally in death. Human development is important to psychologists because it can provide insight about a person and the stage he or she may be experiencing in life based on age-related changes in behavior, emotions, personality, and thought processes (Boyd & Bee, 2009). The interest of changes throughout a person's life, from childhood
Life Styles Inventory (LSI) is designed to provide individuals with timely feedback concerning ways that their personal and professional lives can be changed for the better. Using a series of "styles" to measure various aspects of life, the LSI can provide some startling accurate results when respondents are honest and forthright in their responses. This paper provides a summary and analysis of the results of the administration of the LSI
Life Pi Life of Pi: improving a Masterpiece? Much of the English and specifically the British/Commonwealth literature of the latter half of the twentieth century has been classified as "postcolonial" literature, in that it explores the ramifications and implications of the end to overt colonial control of much of the world by European powers following the end of World War II. Understanding such literature requires at least a minimal understanding of the
