Reflection : Good Sportsmanship


Reflection

In a softball competition Sarah from the Western Oregon team, batted her first homeroom but with that homeroom she batted her softball career. Sarah had torn her ACL and was on the flooring hugging the base; her teammates were not allowed to touch her.  That is when Mallory and Liz from the opposing team Central Washington carried her to all the bases until she made her first homerun. This is the best example of good sportsmanship. Mallory and Liz did not have to carry her, they could have just left her there, but winning the game did not matter to them, they were loyal and helped Sarah out because she deserved it.  Central Washington lost the game, but they gained much more respect and left that field with loyalty. Mallory and Liz are a great example to people all over the world, loyalty and good sportsmanship are very important.

Valentine's Day


Valentine’s Day!

The celebration of Saint Valentine, also known to us today as Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world on February 14. Even though Valentine’s Day is celebrated globally it is still a work day is the majority of the countries. St. Valentine's Day in early history was a liturgical celebration of an early Christian saints named Valentinus. He is the most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote her a letter "from your Valentine" as a farewell in a heart shaped paper. Today Valentine’s Day is celebrated and known as the day of friendship and love. Men give women flowers usually roses and cards as a symbol of their love. Many couples go on dates and receive many other special gifts. Valentine’s Day in America is a commotion you known that every store and restaurant is going to be filled with people celebrating. Valentine’s Day is a day of love, celebration, sweetness, and a lot of money waiting for the people, and a lot of profit for all businesses. 

In my opinion Valentine’s Day is a regular day. Why do you have to choose on day to show your significant other that you love them? Why not expresses your love to them every day? You should always show and prove your love to your significant other so that you won’t lose the love. Yes, I do think and celebrate Valentine’s Day is a nice and sweet day, I just don’t agree that it should be done once an year. Valentine’s Day should be expressed more often.
Happy Valentine’s Day♥!
