I felt a fuzzy feeling!!!!

I finally found a website that has made my bookmark list. Athletes for Hope is now my favorite place to see the lastest contribution from our popular athletes today. As I explored this site, I saw short descriptions of athletes visiting hospitals,pictures of their experiences and most importantly dates of when these events happened. Sometimes it is hard to recognize professional athletes as communtiy contributors. I think this is because we automatically associate fame and fortune with this athletes and forget they are humans like you and I. I was so impressed to see how many professional athlete contribute. I wish more sites were created to see how this is really changing the world and changing lives. I only hope for this is site is to elaborate. Sometimes a picture and short descripition is not enough to know of such a compassionate story. I want to know the background, the meeting, and the post meeting. What happened after these athletes contributed to these charities? What happened to those lives that they have touched?  I just can't get enough! I definitely felt a fuzzy feeling inside. The pictures couldn't tell a happier story.

LET THE CHEERING BEGIN!

 I recently have found this new love for sports. I think it was because my boyfriend would hog the remote and never let sports center leave the TV screen. In a desperate attempt to save myself for suicidal boredom, I decided to join in on the cheering, booing, beer drinking, high-fiving, and festivities that went along with those riving games. Only to come to love it! I never understood baseball, hockey, or football. I still can't say I am an expert, but I can definitely say I am a fan. Being newly introduce I find myself cheering for the Giants and the Niners as if I have followed them for years. I vouch for them and feel a connection with my hometown teams. I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere and people that make me love the game or rivalries that make the crowd roar, but I do know that sports have given me a sense of connection with my city and the beautiful people in it.

I found this presentation on sports and its connection to society. It also mentions how sports empower those involved and how it will change our lives. During the power point presentation I connected a deeper meaning with sports that I was expecting. Sports are not just a way to bring a community together, but also give you personal gratification. Whether it be watching sports or playing in the game, there is always a connection and pride that goes along with it.
