Chris Hadfield grabbed the interest of many people while he was on the International Space Station.
Ever experienced cheer camp a famous college? Surround by its famous color orange and blue? Well, I did! A tremendous amount of people have their different ideas an exciting experience in their life. Although out of all of the exciting experiences I’ve ever experienced , I would have to say my favorite is when I visited The University of Florida for cheer camp my sophomore year. I was overly excited about spending four days at The University of Florida; I stayed up all night the night before packing and getting ready to finally stay at a college for four days with my fellow cheer sisters. From that experience I learned a lot about sticking together as a team, and friendship! But, most importantly, I learned that bonding together as a team is what got us to finish strong at the end. Those four days really opened my eyes to a lot of different things and I’m glad I can say that I really enjoyed myself.
Sally Kristen Ride, an American astronaut, made history when she became the first woman and youngest person to travel in space. To educate children, she enjoyed writing books concerning travel and discoveries in space. Ride was born on May 26, 1951 in Encino, California and passed away from pancreatic cancer on July 23, 2012 in La Jolla, California. Ever since she was a young girl, Ride had always been curious about the world around her. Ride’s various accomplishments led her to receive many prestigious honors such as being inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame and recognized as a renowned American leader. Two vital influences in Sally Kristen Ride’s life were her high school physiology teacher and her mother.
To achieve this great tan one must sign up for the three-week course that the YMCA offers for $100. During the three-week course, you learn how to spot potential victims and accidents. You will also learn how to communicate with pool patrons who have lost their children and those who are breaking the rules. Not, only do they teach you how to watch the pool, but they teach you about skin safety. You learn about which hours are the worst times to be out in the sun and how much SPF to use during those times and how to inform patrons about sun skin safety. Its not all by the book; you will have to get into the water to show your swimming ability and practice techniques, such as how to enter the pool when someone has a spinal injury. Also you need to learn how to deal with victims who are in shock and ways to approach victims who are delusional. You will learn to be assertive with the rules, and when it is necessary to use your whistle. They teach you when to close the pool in emergencies and how it is appropriate to close the pool during thunderstorms. You will also learn to work as a team with your fellow guards, how to use the tube, and the correct ways to clean out the pool with the vacuum.
Not every community is the same. Therefore, each YMCA is different to accomadate these differing needs. The YMCA in your community may offer child care or teen leadership clubs. In the next town over, swimming lessons or drawing lessons may be of bigger concern. Every Y makes theri won decisions based on the needs of the community around them. They decide which programs to offer and how to operate.
"There's a field of opportunities for Hispanic women in space," says Ellen Ochoa, the only Latina astronaut in NASA and a veteran of four space flights. "The key is learning more about what jobs are available out there, what kinds of things you do when you are on the job, and what kind of education you need to get in order to get those jobs. When I started college I didn't select physics right away, partly because I had no idea what a physicist would do." (Hispanic, 14).
“When I was little, we used to have something called Swim Team at our Britannia Clubhouse,” Bilan says. “I loved it. We got to swim, try different moves and techniques and have fun in the
Covering all, we should revise the rules of Fort Bend ISD and change it. Having a sport in a school is a privilegeto one because some don’t due to the lack of money.It’s important for many students: it can help students in future possibilities such as athletics and their character. Knowing sports can change a person physically and mentally by making them smart, respectful, and healthier. Being in an after school activity is rewarding experience to all the students who are going to dedicated and focused on school and in the activity. Finally, student will be rewarded after school after the hard work throughout the day. Sports can influence students in many ways like character, making better graders, and lack of obesity. Fort Bend ISD should allow sixth graders to participate in physical activates: sixth graders would be satisfied.
It is a lifetime dedication to learn how to become an astronaut and they must truly love every second of it, just as Chris Hadfield has. Being such an inspiration, Hadfield talks about the hard, unexpected times. How the struggles helped him, and built him. He states in his book “An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth” that, “It’s not how I envisioned things when I was 9 years old… But as it happens, I love my job- the day-to-day reality of it, not just the flying around in space part,” (page 37). Saying that being an astronaut is not just going to space and walking on the moon, it is intense studying for test and preparation in hopes of going to space, but still loving and looking forward to every step of the
Have you ever had a perfect day and in the blink of an eye it turns to the worst day ever? Well I had that happen to me this summer. It all started as we were getting off the ship and took a rental car to NASA. It was my first time ever going to NASA and I was really excited. When we arrived it was about twelve o’clock. When we finally got in I could see parts of spaceships that were over two-hundred feet tall. I learned all about all the different missions and what happened on them.
I would love to work for YMCA and be a part of an organization that touches many lives and strives to make communities healthier. I have worked as a volunteer at the Davis Centre, a community home for the seniors’, as a recreation programmer and have always been a supporter of giving back to the community by any means possible. The growth opportunities at YMCA are colossal and these opportunities combined with the development and training opportunities would help me enhance my skills and broaden my understanding of the health, fitness and recreation
Having spent the better part of six summers hiking, cooking, orienteering, and practicing archery on the trails of Huddart Park, California, summer camp became a very precious time of my life. When I entered high school, I began working as a Unit Aide at my camp which meant I had the privilege to now teach young girls a whole slew of tasks such as survival skills, first aid, and knife skills. While attending Woodside Priory High School, I heard about similar activities such as archery and overnights that Mountain Camp counselors hosted. Chris Gregory encouraged me to look into the camp and see if it was something I might take interest in, and I soon discovered that it definitely captured my attention. I adore working with kids and would especially
They also look to see how active in the community they are. Summer break gives students a chance to get involved or lend a hand. Agricultural students may attend the county fairs. Students interested in forien languages may be interested in visit other contries to learn about their culture. Summer camps might not seem very educational but they really are. They give you a chance to boost your teamwork, leadership or problem solving
Most people learn to swim by imitating others, most often their parents, brothers, sisters, and friends. Most youngsters in also take lessons at swim clubs, community centers, schools, and recreational facilities. In addition, the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) and the American Red Cross sponsor programs that teach children about water safety. Instructors teach students skills that will make them safe, efficient, and confident swimmers. Beginners first put their heads in the water and blow bubbles by exhaling. Gradually, students progress to floating, treading water, and ultimately, learning the techniques of the major strokes.
A person who lives and works in space is an astronaut. Astronauts must be willing to go through strenuous training and studying in order to with hold the job. It is a job like no other. “There are no other jobs in the entire world that are going to let you look down on your planet”, says astronaut Marsha Ivins (Dyson 14). Because most people have never been in space, they can only use pictures and videos to describe it. Astronauts, though they may be looking at the same thing, have a completely different view. They are able to look down on their own planet, moon, and stars. That is amazing. The lives of astronauts are adventurous yet include a great deal of hard work because they need to have specific body requirements, long periods of training, and need to be physically fit.
