Recommended: Impact of extracurricular activities on kids

Candy, it tastes good but it is bad for the teeth. Medicine, it tastes horrible but it does good for the body. Both items show off good and bad features. The clubs in Centennial Christian School, or CCS for short, also have their good and bad. Using rhetorical strategies it is evident that there are flaws in these clubs but the students and teachers are able to overcome using theirs strengths. It is the students that make up the clubs and not the clubs themselves because of the background CCS carries.
Centennial Christian School is a small international school located in Seoul, South Korea. The school is on top of a hill through a series of slopes. The school is also just one building with 6 flights of stairs but not enough classrooms. Each class has an average of 15 students with the largest being 21. Students mostly come to school riding public transportation and or through the limited transportation the school provides.
There are 4 clubs in CCS; the sports club, the music club, the debate club, and the student council with 3 of the clubs having their own sub groups. The sports club has the volleyball team, basketball team, and the soccer team. The debate club has the debate team and the public speaking team. The student council has the student government and the National Honor Society.
The sports club is CCS’ most competitive club. This club has brought CCS many titles as well as making legends with the KAIAC sports league. Despite the many achievements CCS faced many difficulties. Centennial Christian School does not own a gym, and therefore it makes practice difficult. Having many of the basic equipment such as balls and weights make it possible to practice basic training however the real problem lies with the facilities. ...

...hool, there are many differences. YISS has a gym and field where all sports can be practiced whereas CCS does not. YISS has many students willing to join the Debate club whereas CCS use many of the same students for different debate tournaments. YISS has more resources and equipment than CCS does when it come to the Music club. However what YISS loses to CCS is the Student Council. YISS has many students so it would be natural for them to not know what many of the students want or need. CCS is a smaller school and can therefore hear all the needs of the students.
Centennial Christian School maybe a small school and have many disadvantages in its clubs, but the students make up for it. They pour in extra effort just to succeed, and the results show in the end. There are many things that could be fixed in each club individually but for a small school, CCS does well.

  • The Techniques of Persuasion in W.J. Reeves’ “College Isn’t For Everyone”

    1726 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the argument that college is not for everyone, Reeves establishes his ethos through both extrinsic and intrinsic support while maintaining clarity using the logos approach. Pathos, however, lacked the same amount of control. By using an excess amount of pathos while approaching rhetoric with a condescending tone, the author diminished the persuasiveness achieved by combining the techniques. This resulted in a limited audience due to the insulting nature of the closing remarks geared to the very audience he was trying to reach.

  • SNCC

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC, was created on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh in April 1960. SNCC was created after a group of black college students from North Carolina A&T University refused to leave a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina where they had been denied service. This sparked a wave of other sit-ins in college towns across the South. SNCC coordinated these sit-ins across the nation, supported their leaders, and publicized their activities. SNCC sought to affirm the philosophical or religious ideal of nonviolence as the foundation of their purpose. In the violently changing political climate of the 60’s, SNCC struggled to define its purpose as it fought white oppression. Out of SNCC came some of today's black leaders, such as former Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry, Congressman John Lewis and NAACP chairman Julian Bond. Together with hundreds of other students, they left a lasting impact on American history.

  • SAP’s Lack of Variety of Sports

    Marion Military Institute is considered to have one of the best preparatory programs for preparing cadets entering a service academy. Without a doubt, MMI exposes its cadets to a rigorous academic routine similar to that of a service academy. However, SAP cadets need preparation in a sport, since they are required to play one at a service academy. Many cadets are deprived of sports, merely because it isn’t offered and there is no group or club organized to play it. With the implementation of my organized plan, club sports will be an option for cadets, and the SAP program will be more productive and successful.

    October of 1962 is considered by many the closest the world has ever been to a third World War. As pressure between the Soviet Union and United State grew so did the fears of the American people. Due in part because of its proximity to the United States, Cuba was the perfect place from which the Soviet Union could launch an attack. This was cause for real alarm, Cuba had already begun building silos and launch pads for nuclear missiles that would be able to do massive amounts of damage to the United States. John F. Kennedy’s speech regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the greatest factors in preventing a third World War as well as keeping domestic peace.

  • Difference Between College And Community College

    Community colleges are great when it comes to saving money and classes are small in size if that is what a student is looking for when seeking a college education but with a small amount of students enrolled in a community college compared to a university, it is harder for some to make friends like they hoped for. In a large, university setting, there are many activities that are encouraged by the school and many students take part in to constantly interact with other students. Even the small daily activities, like the walk to classes, can lead to a new friendship if a student finds another person who is in similar classes and sections of campus. College life is vastly different from the campuses of Community Colleges to that of

  • The Pros and Cons of After School Clubs

    Typically there are “four basic types of student clubs: academic, special interest, special project or issue, sports”(North). Students who participate in academic clubs gain knowledge outside of the classroom that applies later on in the class. Students become involved based upon a common interest and hope to be with other students who share the same interests are in the special interest focus club. A third type of a student club is very similar to the special interest focus. “These clubs (special project or issue focus) provide students with expanded leadership experiences and involvement in the community. The final type of club is a sports club”(North).

  • Mandatory Physical Education I

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    Opposition of mandatory Physical Education in high schools believe that if a student has not developed a desire for voluntary physical exercise by the time he or she reaches high school , he or she may not ever (Eberhardt). It is true that individuals should not be forced into something they don’t want to participate in, but if these students don’t get any exercise outside of school, where will they receive an appropriate amount of fitness? Paul Eberhardt, athletic director, intramural director and head coach of the McNair Marlins basketball team in Richmond, B.C., believes “that students don’t care about participating in P.E. anymore and we have to educate students on the benefits of Physical Education”. In the 1994-1995 school year there were 1,133 students enrolled at McNair High School but there were only four P.E. classes available, which meant approximately 120 students attended in these classes. The remaining 1013 grade eleven and twelve students had no Physical Education at all. This is an astonishing figure. “Many students participate in sports and recreation activities outside of school, but most of them get hardly any exercise at all.
