     My biggest regret is rushing back into sports after my ACL reconstruction my Junior year in High School. I tore my ACL junior year in the third football game of the season. I had to have ACL reconstruction and was told the recovery could be 9-12 months. This did not stop me from pushing myself and I was able to finish physical therapy earlier than most and was in a hurry to get back to sports. So later in my junior year I got back into track and was sure to secure my spots. Then running in a 100m dash the regret set in when I felt a shift in my knee and I nearly dropped. I did not want to go to the doctors as summer football workouts were ahead. Then those started and I was unable to compete in some of the events due to the pain my knee was causing. So eventually I had to go to the doctors and this is when I found out my ACL was torn again. I continued to play my senior year of football with a torn ACL and even wrestled for a month or so before I could no longer take...

When I was a child, like every other person I was told that Santa Claus was real. Every Christmas my parents would take me to see Santa, and listen in to what I told him I wanted. Then come Christmas Eve night they would have me set out cookies and milk. On the morning of Christmas we would wake up early and open our presents, but every Christmas morning the cookies and milk were gone. There would also be presents under the tree labeled "from Santa," but all that was a childhood lie that parents tell their children. That has not affected my relationship with my parents as every parent does this. I can also say that they are not the only ones guilty of this as I now tell my little cousins and nephew the same thing. 

In this video there are multiple different people getting onto the elevator each playing a different kind of music when entering because they do not find enjoyment in each others music. The author of this video made this video to show a difference in the kinds of music that people may like. It showed a distinct difference in the music that different age groups, races, and cultures may enjoy and how sometimes people may not care about the respect of others if it is not something they enjoy themselves. I think the audience in the video could be anyone because the main point I took away is show respect to those in your surroundings. Three ways this could help a community is showing respect to each other, don't be rude just because your interests are not the same, and take notes of others that may help you better yourself. 

 I woke up in jail and did not have a clue of how I ended up there. As I regain my bearings and get woken up I notice that there are a few objects in my pockets still. The first thing I pull out of my pocket is my Id. This is strange because I normally keep my Id in my wallet, but I do not have my wallet with me. The next thing I have in my pocket is a paper clip, but it is unfolded and no longer in its' normal shape. Finally I pull out a bottle opener. That's when everything comes back to me. I remember being at the bar, which would explain why I have just my Id and not my wallet. This would also explain why I have a bottle opener still in my pocket, I must have taken it from the bar by accident. I decide to ask what I had done to be arrested because I still do not know why I have an unfolded paper clip. That's when the officer tells me I was arrested for breaking and entering. I asked for the area I was picked up and they told me. That is when I suddenly remember it all. ...
