Coming Of Age Final

As I’m am getting out of my dad’s car, walking to the gym ready to play my game. I was hyped to play against this team and thinking that I was going to do good like the past games that I played. I was thinking right when I saw the team I was challenging that my team and I was going to beat them so bad and I was going to have a better game than the ones I had in the past. When I went inside the gym I see my teammates and I told it is going to be a easy win.

Right when I step on the court, shaking the others team and hand fisting the refs I was ready to play and blow the other team out. On the tip off my teammate tip it to me and I dribbled the ball and right when I was by the defender I lost the ball and I thought it was going to be okay because it was just one. But then the next trip down the court when I went to pass to my teammate and the person who defended my teammate stole the ball and scored. I was feeling a little frustrated because it was 2 turnovers right when the game just started but then I was bringing the ball down I drove aggressive to the basket and shot the ball and it went off the backboard really hard but then I keep on missing and whenever I drove in the other team would foul me. I was complaining to the ref that he fouled me and the ref didn’t care about it so i got more frustrated about it because the ref wouldn’t call any fouls for me, I was turning over the ball a lot, and my shots weren’t going in. Then when Second half came I did the same things as the first half.

Getting more frustrated as the game was going until the scoreboard hit double zero and saw the score, we lost by 15 points. Walking to the bench, crying as I pick up my stuff and walk out the gym. Driving home my dad is talking to me about the game and asking me why are you crying?. As I responded crying “ I did so terrible”

And then he said don’t worry about that game because you have good games and you have bad games but when you have bad games you know that you need to improve to always have good games. I took what he said to heart and then the next day after I woke up, I went straight outside to grab a basketball and a tennis ball and started to dribble the basketball and throw up the tennis ball and did this for 30 minutes. After that I woke up my dad and told him to bring me to the gym. When we went to the gym we did drills that improve my shooting, dribbling, and getting contact when driving to the basketball. The next game I had I did good with 14 points and less than 3 turnovers.

As I grew older I was coming of age because I was determined about basketball because when I had a bad game I took it to heart to get better so I never have a bad game. But even though I have a bad or a good game I am always determined to get better at basketball so I can get to the next level. I am more determined about basketball because I want to atleast get into a D1 or D2 college with a scholarship for basketball and after that maybe go NBA or overseas to play. I will always have determination so I can get better and basketball and the others things I do in life.   

Abstract 3 people story

When the game hit 0:00 in the 4th quarter and seeing the other team winning the championship instead of my team winning. I was furious when it happen because my team and I was up the whole game until the 4th quarter when the other team caught up and started to get the lead. In the 4th quarter I was so frustrated with my teammates because they started to give the game away by turning over the ball and will not give me the ball. Looking at my teammates looking all sad because we lost the championship game but it was all they fault.

Cruising down the street with my friend, an old lady struggling with grocery so my friend and I help her bring it to her room and she was being thankful for helping. Bringing the grocery to his room she grab a gun out of her bag and pointed the gun and me and my friend with her ugly smile with her eye closed like she sleeping. Then she starts laughing and tells my friend and I that she is just playing around and so gave my friend and I $100 each.

Pulling up to the drive way with my dad, my sisters and my mom crying their eyes out seeing their dad coming home from his long mission with the army. Running towards him with enormous smiles while he was running to them too. Hugging for a long time being so overjoyed that our dad can stay with us forever.

I was complaining to the ref that he fouled me and the ref didn’t care about it so i got more frustrated about it because the ref wouldn’t call any fouls for me, I was turning over the ball a lot, and my shots weren’t going in.

When second half started I thought I was going to be better but that didn’t happen it was the same as the first half turning over the ball and shots not going in. When the game was over I was crying and all mad because I did bad and we lost. Going home I was still crying about how I did and my dad talking to me and saying good that you are crying because that means you have a passion for basketball.  After what he said when we got home I was thinking about the game and I could not sleep that night. The next day I went straight to the park and started to practice my dribbling and shooting and even though the days I never go to the park I still practice my dribbling and shooting even though I didn't have a basketball hoop. I knew I was determined about basketball because the next day I had that bad game I wanted to get better and what I could improve on. The next game we had I don't even look at the other team or talk to any of my teammates, I was just focused on what I had to do this game for my team and I to win. With that game I scored with 14 points with less that 4 turnovers and a win for my team and I.

That game that I did bad in is the most important game I had because it showed me that I was determined to get better even though I had a bad or a good game I would still need to go to practice so I could improve my dribbling and shooting so I could be a good dribbler like the pros and a good shooter like a pro. Now every game I have I scored at least 10 points or more but I still not satisfied with that because if I want to go to the next level for basketball I have to score over 20 points.

Dear Mcdonald's Administration,

I and my family have been eating mcdonalds sometimes every month. Your great prices, fast service, and good food make us want to comeback more sometimes.

However, i had a problem lately with your food. 2 months ago i went to your restaurant in Aiea to have your delicious triple cheese burger that I saw on the Mcdonalds commercial. When I went to our Mcdonald's i saw the Triple Cheeseburger that i shows on the menu that comes with the Mcpick 2. When it came to order the register was very nice and ask me what i wanted and i told the Triple Cheeseburger and then when i got the food i sat down at the table with my family, I opened the box with the Triple Cheeseburger and it looked different to me then when i saw it on the television commercial. So I felt like this was a waste of money because it looks different from the television commercial and I felt like there are just trying to make people want to eat at your restaurant because you make the food look so good on television but it reality it doesn't look the same. Many restaurants don’t do this to there customers, for example Wendy's and Jack in the box make the food look like the ones that the people see on television. They make sure they get what the customers really want to eat instead of giving them food that doesn’t look like the food on television.

I think you should start doing is to make the food like the ones that the people see on television so they can get what they paid for instead of thinking that it was a waste of money on food that looks different from television.

Love,

Rocky Ramones

1.5 million kids every year feel like their world is falling apart after their parents divorce. The kids feels a great loss also sad, angry, and anxiety and they also feel guilty because they feel like they caused the divorce. Divorce is an big issue on the teens because after the divorce the teen starts to do differents things since their parents are divorced. Whenever a teen parents get divorced the teen becomes very angry at themselves which make them become very violent, have social adjustment, and have a change in academic performance.

While teens feel aggressive when their parents get divorce it could be a good life lesson to them. It would be good because “Kids can learn from their parents that some problems can't be fixed, and that peaceful disengagement is an alternative to remaining mired in conflict and chaos”(Alterman). “Kids of divorce achieve their education and career goals and have the ability to build close relationships." It was also reported that as many as 42 percent of young adults whose parents have divorced "received higher wellbeing scores as compared to young adults from non-divorced families”(Alterman).

Divorce is something that 1.5 million kids go through a year but, some of them will get angry at themselves which will make them aggressive since their parents divorced. For this reason many teenagers will blame themselves for their parents behaviour because it is emotionally easier to deal with.  It is common for teens  to formulate beliefs about how their behaviour is the reason their parents are divorcing. These beliefs can result in teens being angry at themselves. While being angry at themselves the teen is also likely to be very compliant and extra helpful to one or both parents as a means of trying to make up for the mess they believe they have created.

Divorce is a big deal to teens because out of the 1.5 million kids of the world go through divorce every year and most of them get a social adjustment after their parent divorce. After a teens parents get divorce they will start hanging out with different friends and stay out late with friends. They will also start giving attitude to their parents and will start doing drugs with friends and doing other stuff.

When a divorce comes a teen will feel aggressive because they think it's all their fault so they will start doing aggressive things on other people. In school will play a big role when a teen parents get divorce because they will start giving big attitude to the teacher and start missing school. They also will start not doing the work and get bad grades. Which will make the school that they go to go lower in academic and it will seem like that school is bad.

In conclusion whenever a teens parents get divoreced the teens will feel aggressive. But it could also be a good thing because it could make them have good choice in the future and could be a life lesson. Anyways divorce will cause aggression which is bad because it will lead to them being violent, having social adjustment, and have  academic problem. That's why I think aggression is bad when it come to a divorce to a teen.

Risky Business Essay

Aggression  plays a big part in a divorce. Whether it is a teen, kid, or adult they all get aggressive or feel aggressive whenever they get divorced or their parents get divorced. Whenever a teen parents get divorced the teen becomes very angry at themselves which make them very violent to themselves and others. They start doing drugs, doing bad in school, and take out anger on other people or siblings.

Sometimes when a teens parents get divorced they don’t get aggressive and violent because they are probably living and caring for their own lives and preparing for their future. They could also be working a lot at their jobs so they can start doing good during the future. Also they wouldn't be with their parents all the time because they would be hanging out with friends a lot or doing after school activities.

Although some teens don’t get aggressive, most of the teens will get aggressive and violent and they will start by hanging out with other friends and do drugs. From http://understandingteenagers.com.au/blog/the-impacts-of-divorce-on-teenagers/ it said that when a teens parents get divorced the teens will have a higher rate of doing drugs and alcohol addiction. Also from http://peacemaker.net/project/the-effects-of-divorce-on-america/ it stated “Children who use drugs and abuse alcohol are more likely to come from family backgrounds characterized by parental conflict and parental rejection. Because divorce increases these factors, it increases the likelihood that children will abuse alcohol and begin using drugs. Adolescents whose parents recently divorced are found to abuse drugs and alcohol much more often than do adolescents whose parents divorced during their early childhood. When they are compared with children whose parents are still married, the difference grows even greater.  Comparing all family structures, drug use in children is lowest in the intact married family”.

Whenever teens get violent or aggressive they don't on take it out on other people or sibling they also take it out on teacher and school work. From http://www.childhealing.com/articles/angrychild.php it stated that after a teens parents get divorced they start doing “Failure to respond when addressed Refusal to cooperate with teachers at school, Refusal to do home work, Deliberate lateness, Refusal to keep order in the home or in bedroom, Provocation of siblings, Unwillingness to be sensitive to others”. Also from http://understandingteenagers.com.au/blog/the-impacts-of-divorce-on-teenagers/ it said that the teens “have higher school drop out rates” and “Decreased academic performance including more disruptive behavior at school, loss of interest in school work, or truancy”.

Aggression has a good or bad to it in a divorce. The good is that the teens don’t care about it because they are living and caring about their own lives. But the is also a bad thing about it because the teens get violent, do drugs, and do bad in school. That’s why aggression is bad whenever it becomes to a divorce with a teens parent.
