Stevenson BasketbaLL

It has been a long time coming and the basketball season is coming to a halt. It's been a long road for me being a part of the Varsity team for four years consecutively. Now I have reached my Senior year. Throughout all of the years it has been constructive but it never went the way I envisioned it to be. I guess the saying "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is dominantly true. Despite that, all the players that I've played with were good people. Although as good of a people they are, they all human and they have a minds of their own; as weird it may sound this was the problem with us as players not being on the same page. Now that I'm a Senior, being on the team has shown me life morals that I would have never thought of which is adjacent to a relationship with a person. Both spouses have to be intertwined with one another and have trust with one another; but as a team we didn't have that. Sometimes I ask myself who's fault was it at the end of the day, but its disturbing sometimes to even think about it because I don't know who does did it fall under.

'Till this day as much I want to say that I love the game of basketball, its hard to answer a question where I would describe what type of player I am or how good of a player I am as well.

Brotherly Country: Haiti

January 12th was the fatal earthquake that took place in Haiti. One of the astonishing surprising and maybe the greatest global crisis that has happened to one of our brotherly countries. Its really disturbing to see one of the poorest countries come to a conclusion such as this, Haiti for many years have had struggle developing their country due to its bad economy and government. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and as the twenty-seventh most impoverished nation in the world.






Buildings crumbled, the ground tore apart like it was broken a like a piece of cookie, houses and tents fell on people which kill them. Telephones and electricity were cut off which made it impossible for people to come in contact. Relief workers had hard times transporting themselves from destination to destination. It seemed like the end of the world for the brotherly island of Dominican Republic.






It hurts to see a country getting into more worse conditions than it already is in because not only does it affect them in particular but it impacts countries that are supporting one another. It affects one other economies which makes it difficult to develop as nations. Therefore lately there has been a rigid support in relief plans and reform for the people of Haiti. The Red Cross as well as other rescue/relief service chains have urgently been on the job.
