Extra innings

Instead of a 6 or 7 inning game, have several 3 inning games. The idea is to have as many walk-ups as possible be able to play a game of baseball with your organization. Inform the local media of the event ahead of time and let your social media followers know in advance. Raise awareness for youth baseball and healthy living altogether. Partner with local businesses, especially in the food and drink industry, to be at your event. Maybe even those businesses can turn into sponsors. Promote youth baseball and your organization at the event. Have some skills stations around the field. Set up a home run derby competition or have a base running contest. And most important, let the kids have fun! To really spice up recruitment, implement your referral program and offer a free clinic…

till fifteen minutes before the game, so we all knew that we were far more prepared than they were. The umps showed up fifteen minutes late to the championship game, THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Our coach was so irritated that we could practically see steam coming out of his ears. As the game started, I felt like l had butterflies in my stomach. My nerves seemed to calm as the baseball smacked against my leather glove, and hearing the roar of the crowd as I got the out. Both teams were giving it all…

situations that one can encounter where doing extra amounts of work, volunteering to stay longer, or charity work will go unrecognized. Many of these experiences generally go unrewarded which make an individual question why. Questioning why they spent their own personal time to do extra. If one does not see the fruits of their work despite putting in extra amounts of effort, their motivation decreases resulting in a feeling of emptiness. Though many may not realize it, sometimes doing more work…

prove to yourself that you have enough discipline to save money, this will motivate you even more. You will start day-dreaming about all the possibilities with your newfound wealth! Invest in A Piggy Bank If you do not have a strong will to save money, then let someone else, or something else, do it for you. Aside from giving money to a trusted friend or family member and begging them not to give it back no matter how many times you beg them, invest in a piggy bank. Make sure the piggy bank is…

you served in this position before? If you have, what went right, what went wrong? If you haven’t, did you interview? Why or why not? If you weren’t selected, why do you think that was? I have previously served as a section leader for two years, and would say the trumpet section has made good progress over this school year. With the little number of trumpet members in the band, the section has done a lot to step up to the occasion and play the part that may have called for double our…

From the very beginnings of our existence, humans have created and sung songs. Music is used for entertainment, for celebration, for mood setting, even to go to sleep. The standards for music have changed as well, especially with the onset of technology like auto-tune. Each of the 5 songs appealed to me in one way or another. I’ll admit, I am a bit arrogant sometimes, and simply annoying other times. At home, I’ll learn extra if I’m interested in a topic, but otherwise I slack off. Following my…

Not only did I want to excel in physics, but having one of the highest grades felt accomplishing, and knowing I worked extra hard for it was rewarding. The one thing that has really helped me and shown me a glimpse of the real world was getting my first job. I am currently working a part-time job at Jason’s Deli as a cashier, hostess, and salad bar prep. Working and going to school has probably been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do especially while being a straight A student.…

With support from my parents, I have accomplished many personal goals during high school and now college. I have become a very educated person with a great passion for learning new and different subjects. I am persistent, hardworking, and worthy of a student. I work well with others and can work under pressure when it comes to difficult obstacles. I won’t stop working until the work is completely done. When I complete one goal, I will make two more goals to keep on moving further. With all that…

her and then Tally, doing everything he could to destroy their friendship” (Specials 20). Becoming a Special was meant to make her callous. The man on cover seems to be changed from his back to unnatural hair color. He also has his head tilted forward as if gently bowing to someone or something. The picture depicts how this man, representing all the other Specials, is being controlled by someone more powerful, and he has been changed. The titles of Pretties and Specials describe Tally’s…

opportunity to put out flying related ads. This ad has a picture of a pack of spearmint gum in the middle with a heading that says, “Carry-on Luggage.” For the O in the word ‘on’ it has a no smoking symbol. The cost of the pack of gum is 25 cents. In 2001 Wrigley’s made an advertisement that highlighted the “Extra” branch of Wrigley’s gum. This add is very simple, but to the point. The background is solid sky blue color with a white toothbrush in the center. On the brush is a piece of gum,…
