Today I read an article called "Tim Tebow might
play RB" By ESPN.com. The article was talking about how The
Jets are low in running backs due to injuries and potentially could use Tebow.
Tebow the Jets official backup quarterback already has wildcat plays designed
for him to run the ball. With no back up running backs it leads everyone to the
question whether or not Tebow could be playing back there. My personal opinion
is that I think he may see some time back there but not as much as people are
hoping for. I 100% believe that he should be switched to there full time, he
has the body type and the skills for the position.
I ended up watching the game and he did get a little running back time. Frankly
in my opinion towards the end they should have kept him there and could
havepotentially
won the game! With all there backups
injured and with there starter getting hit hard Tebow was their best option.
Even the news reporters were surprised about how little they were using him,
with just a little wildcat he only had 3 carries. If the rest of the RB squad
doesn't get healthy by next weeks game I don't know what other options they
have. Hopefully the Jets figure things out and become effective with the
resources that they have.
Narrative Essay
-->
My name is Chandler and I have selected to interview my father, Michael about
his time growing up. I am 16 years old and a junior in High school that is
highly involved in sports. I have chosen to interview my dad because out of all
my family members he is the most interesting.
He was born in Taiwan and moved to the US when he was the age 6. He grew up in
Plain View, Utah. He graduated High School from Weber High with his 4.0 GPA. He
wasn't involved in many extra curricular things and focused more on work and
school. When he was 16 years old, he got his first real job as janitor at plain
view Elementary school. His favorite movie growing up was Star Wars, because it
was the first movie with all the special effects and it was one of the first
movies that he saw on a big screen. When he was younger he always dreamed of
being a pediatrician, he always enjoyed kids and knew that the job could
provide for a family.
My dad
is the oldest of three children in his family, with a younger half-brother and
younger half-sister. His father left him at a young age and only recently have
the reconnected. His mother got remarried and that's when she had two more kids
but they are distantly younger than him. He doesn't know a lot of his family
other than the immediate ones because they still currently live in Taiwan. The
closest family member to him would have to be his Grandmother. Luckily, my
mom's family is very accepting and as basically adopted him into their lives
and the family.
Growing up, he struggled, when he first moved to America he knew zero English
and had to learn the language while in school. Not only did he not know the
language, but he was also the only non-Caucasian in his school making it easy
to be made fun of. He struggled even through High School making it hard to
enjoy anything from his youth. When he was 19 years old, he served a mission
for the Church of Later-day saints that changed his life. On his mission, he
truly found out who he was and had a better understanding of life itself. He
also refers to the fact that the struggles of his youth make him the person he
is today.
Another topic that he talked about is how things have changed since he
was a child. One thing that he emphasized strongly was the media. It bewilders
him how as a nation we just allow the vulgar language and can curse on cable
TV. Not just only that, but also how there was no Twitter, Instagram, Facebook
and any other social networking site. When he was a teenager he said, "I
would always get in trouble for using the house phone connected to the
wall". This was a problem for him because it was the only phone they had
so they had to share, not just that, but also they weren't that wealthy and that
costed a lot of money. He also brought up the point about how children have
changed since he was once one himself. "They don't embrace work like they
used to" he said. Also the opportunity for them to be involved in sports
is much greater, with now having Jv's and freshman teams.
Interviewing my dad taught me that everyone has struggles and
there are ways to get past them. He went through a lot having moved here from a
foreign country and having his father leave him. Now I understand why he works
so hard and makes sure that we kids have a good childhood.
The best
halloween costume that I have ever saw was a little kid dressed up as a gnome.
It was so adorable who would of thought of dressing there little kid up as a
gnome! I am positive that the idea did not come from the kid, but the
creativity came from the parents. I also saw many other crazy costumes ideas,
but the gnome was by far the most creative and funny.
My favorite costume from when I was a child
was a snake. It was simple, but yet so humorous in my opinion. I mean who
honestly will dress up as a snake its so random yet also creative. This year will probably be my last year dressing up for halloween. Even though I really didn't dress up that much this year I was just thing 1 and thing 2 and we just made some tshirts.
In your mind, what do you believe is the
right age to hangup the costume and the door knocking? We were discussing this
in my english class today, and in my opinion I said when your in high school.
Now this brings up another point, is it right to not give a kid who you believe
is to old candy? If it is way obvious that they are to old then I understand
not giving them candy and shutting the door on them. Otherwise it could be just
straight up rude when I become an adult I don't think that I will be shoving kids away unless they are being rude or just straight look like 35.
you know my hopes are that everyone can just be happy i want people to enjoy there holiday season and enjoy christmas. its sucks that so much violence is going on and that so many people are losing there lives ight before this holiday season i fell bad for them and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone family that has been affected including the bad ones for example in connecticut like those were sweet little innocent children its one thing if you have a promblo with someone but to take it out on hopeless defenseless children thats just messed up although that had happened i can't imagine what the family of the shooter is thinking and how much negative publicity they have like i coulnt imganin its nothing that they could have controlled then the shooting in clackamas people saved concealed weapons aren't good but thats what saved so many people honestly in my opiomnoin they should maybe restrict more and be more questionable about who can get a concealed gun license but i defiantly think it is good to have and that not just now but in the past has probably save so many lives that we just don't know about
I think its crazy with all of the violence going on right now. So much happening within like a year of itself. In my honest opinion I think it's because people are scared that the world might end. It honestly sucks with so much violence going on right now with this then the sandy hook shooting. In my opinion at first I just thought it had to do with the world ending but then it was not even after all of that the violence continued to going on. Its just so sad with all of the deaths going on especially with little kids dying thats so sad those poor little kids right before christmas to. Whats weird though is I did watch a conspercy video on the sandy hook shooting and I mean I'm not usually into that type of stuff, but man this was a good video it was really legit saying there were no ambulences near by and some of the buildings weren't even close to the school. Not just that, but theres evidence of it that was shot on live tv and thats what freaks me out that most.
