Humans and nature

     A natural mystic, a world within a world. A mystery of co existence that absolutely captures that heart and mind of every human being in one way or another. When walking in the woods peace and tranquility takes course. When am at the ocean my mind drifts and dances to the sound of the ocean.When snow touches my skin after the summer heat and cools me almost to a frost it revitalises my body. When the rain drops onto the farmers soil to raise the wheat and maze we need to eat. Grows the grass so that cows could graze all a part of nature.
     However,we often take nature for granted slaughtering the trees needed to clean the air we breathe to build mansions we need cars to get around in.Drill the very fuel that allows the earth crust to burn to extinction to makes our businessmen more profitable, while nature can provide a reliable resourceful cleaner burning energy source. The air becomes more stiffling By the day  the star filled skies are becoming rarer and rarer to see. Our rivers are drying crying out for rain, while we sought bigger dams and gigantic aquariums in homes which in turn damages the eco system beneath the waters surface.
       Its the least bit mind boggling to say that we, "humans" slowly poisons the atmosphere which we need to survive. We kill anything we're scared of and manoeuvre the ones we can't, creatures fall victim so dose the land. Through all this damage to her image and body mother nature still exist, sometimes giving little glimps of exactly what her force can do still we take no heed to the warnings that we are destroying her creation rapidly.
        Green house gasses global warming, both human made names for the poison we try to feed her. An unexplainable behaviour that we the global population seem to stick to. Although we can use by necessity we choose to devour by opportunity. To then use the money made to fly to natural exotic get aways for pleasure the same pleasure that was once at their arms reach to enjoy.
         Nature is important from the ant to the elephant, the desserts to the glaciers, the land to the ocean we must cherish it like we would our own lives. We don't just live today we leave our mark behind when we die. Save a good life for them by preserving nature the best you can. Always remember nature is to nurture, not to destroy.

A wonderful coaching event paper 2


Darren Philip

Title: A wonderful coaching  event.

Subject: english



     The colours were radical, and vibrant, each player respectively dressed in the color of their choice. A bundle of talent,of which I must sift through,to find the fittest and most talented of the bunch. Coach thought to himself, with his manish stance at mid field waiting to commence practice.

     “Bring it in boys,” coach yelled loudly after sounding the whistle.

       “This is the last try out before the selection of the final sixteen, traveling to Antigua for the keithly shepard tournament, train hard guys no free buys.” He slightly chuckled, thinking to himself what an oppourtunity, i could see the potential in every youngster on the soccer field today. As practice went on, he jotted in his note pad,stocking the field like a chicken hawk for field mice. After selecting the final sixteen, he relaxed, a smile emerging, confident in his coaching ability,to select the best sixteen.

      We flew to Antigua fitted in our dominican track suites, a bright green with yellow trimmings, the boys looked like stars coach thought. The first game us against St.vincent, coach looked poised and in control, dictating from the sidelines. Grabbing our first win his energy blossomed, sholders propped up like a marine, as he shook the hand of the opposing coach.

     The second game against the host country Antigua made coach angry,he was pieced almost the whole game. Eyes sqinted, jaw bone recocheting against his cheeks.

   “ What are you guys thinking this is the quarter finals,” coach belted out of his lungs “lets go  come on darren you gotta make these attempts man.” He was furious. I got to sub this kid man he thought to himself.

    A few minutes went by then he signaled to the lines man for a sub,  off the field for to many missed oppourtunities, yelling and screaming.

    “That’s it for you and the tournament, your letting us down.”

     Clinching the win we made it to the semi- finals, coach was less than amused feeling like we should have won by ten. You couldn’t see the excitement in the semi- final, a seriousness mixed with a mellow mood of encouragement as coach, coached his way to victory.

    The stage was set, the crowd was anxcious in their seats, the bright beamsof light bedazzling the field. Hurdled in a circle, coach preached his wisdom,and ended in a small prayer.he had his mind set on one thing, one thing only, the keithly sheppard cup which came with a coaches cup to. Right from the start it looked like the kittians would win. They ran circles around the deffense, argitating coach.

“defense, play some defense for god sake.” He screamed angrily “get in the game”.

     After being pounded for the first thirty two minutes of the game, and countless attempts by coach to restrategise, the kittian captain slipped a header pass our goalie. It was like coach just got stuck with a knife, he sholders dropped and his face sobbered. At the half he fired up, and let us know what we needed to do. After the halftime show we looked more like a team scoring in the first ten miutes of the second half. Still being out ran by the kittians, and looking like he was out of ideas, coach decieded to go against his deciesion to seat me out. He drilled me on what he wanted and called a sub out to put me in.

     Five minutes left to go in the game, a ball came from the right side, coach went wild.

     “take em on darren,” he shouted.

     “You can do it, go go.” He yelled jumping and screaming running down the side lines, nerves in his throat and heart in his toe. The amasement tattoed on his face. This is what am here for he thought. After shaking off the first defender, sciossors dribbling the next and out running the last, I could hear coach. I could hear the fascination, the joy the passion and nerves raging in his cheerful inspirational words.

    “Left corner, left corner slam it into the left corner,”he yelled helplessly out of control. After the ball caught the back of the net, coach dropped to the floor still yelling and screaming like he just lost a family member. Tears of joy spilled like a floating river. What I came to do is done. I am the victor coach thought to himself  ever so proudly.

Summer Time

     The tomatoes are blooming, the beaches are packed, the sky's blue is beautiful and bright.
Joy feels the kids, schools out for a few.Some of the beautiful things that summer will do. It makes people happy and brings them together, a time filled with joy and heart warming pleasure. Ice cream and cookouts, pools and parties,are all parts of what makes summer, summer.
     Summer is a season,that lifts the spirits of almost any human being. Its a time used for vacations by most people, visiting amusement parks, beaches, and other natural and man made wonders. Picture taking,and some times just wondering in a nusense fashion around city streets, with no snow banks or snow puddles.
      The aromour of the charcoal smoking, fusing with the mouth watering bar-b-que pieces of meat, tends to bring families and friends together, catching up on old times. Bonding between friends and family is something we all enjoy, the feeling of belonging to or just good old comradery soothes the body and mind. One of the things atributed to the warm weathers and miracle skies of summer.
      Most of all summer for the average person is relaxation and fun times,a real stress reliever. A chance to get way from the frigid cold. To sit on the deck till eleven at night, with beautiful weather and star filled skies. A chance for the kids to sleep in late, or get out and play early. The relaxing sounds of birds chirping seems to please the ear in the summer time.
      Of all the season, summer serves as king in my book. Especially in areas that experience harsh winters. We are the ones who really go all out and count on great summers, to defrost us.  An ice cream in the summer is ten times better than a cup of hot tea in the winter. Summer times a blast, i love summer.

    On my way to work this morning i made a wrong turn. Reading exit signs posted, made it very easy to get myself back on track. Reading is a skill that's very useful to me outside of school where it is most often practice. It helps me with directions, information, communication and education.
      In todays world, reading is a vital part of my communication, to chart online with friends.It also enhances conversations, by giving insight on what's going. Being able to respond to faxes or bills. It builds on communication by enabling preparedness; for meetings, social events, parties or even just kicking it with your friends.
      Reading constantly seems to inform me throughout my day. Simply distinguishing between shirt sizes when shopping at the mall or that the residents get their respective diets at work i must read. To know what's going locally and globally, even to make sure the food i eat is the right foods i must read. All this information is vital to my daily life, and i must read to obtain it.
       I knew very little about building a backyard deck, or even welding two pieces of metal, but through reading i was educated on how its done. Guess what am trying to say is reading is a vital part of educating yourself, it expands my knowledge base, and knowledge is power. The education i have had cause of reading is endless.
       Reading was one of the most important factors, in founding this country in times of no media.So has it made me who i am  and helping me know who i want to become. Reading provides perspective on situations, without actually having to physically be there. I enjoy reading and i hope you guys enjoy reading this. Reading is important for school but twice as important for life.

why is writing important

       Writing's often thought as an attachment to school work. In looking beyond this boundary, Outside of school, writing proves very useful to me in many ways. It relaxes me, it allows me to communicate, educates, and approves my ability to think.
       Writing allows me to relax and be in my own element. I could choose to write something personal and private or public to share with the world. A chance to imagine where dragons breathe fire, fire trucks could fly or simply writing a note to myself, reminding me to post this as a blog to my instructor as home work.   
       Through writing I am able to communicate with my family and freidns all across the globe. They could almost share the moments with me because of freedom of expression in writing. It also breaks down the language barrier when communicating with hearing and speech impaired people.
       My ability to think on the spot is also vastly improved through writing. It enables my mind to work efficiently. While educating people around me I also educate myself with the literature others write. It also tends to broaden my vocabulary and speech alike.
      Without writing history as we know it would not have existed. The past would be the past, and many people throughout the world would be in the dark as to what is going on. It would surely be hard to see myself ever stop writing; it is just that important to me.
