Pros getting Overpaid or Underpaid

Athletes are they over paid or underpaid? As an athlete I personally wouldn’t mind getting over paid. But that’s just because I love money but then again who wouldn’t mind getting overpaid for playing a sport they love. Now the question I ask is who determines if a athlete is getting over paid or underpaid. For those who don’t play sports you “guys” have no idea how much work and commitment we put in. I’m in college right now and part of the men’s soccer team, from first hand I can tell you we defiantly put in the work and we are passionate about it, and if we could we would all love to continue to do this for the rest of our lives. This probably goes for every sport for any college. But for those who get a chance to go further then college can tell you its harder then we think. It’s a job, but as people we think how hard can it really be.
This is where things differ, pros practice everyday and even sometimes twice a day. For example I know the US Men’s national team practice twice a day either they hold 2 sessions or one lifting session and the second one is a regular session with the coach. They have to eat a certain way to be able to maintain that extra edge. We do live in a competitive world you know. Where everybody wants to start, and if that’s not enough they wouldn’t be considered the best player for their team, and if anything the league. Here are some athletes who I found that they say they are getting over paid but you decide. Peyton Manning - Quarterback, Indianapolis Colts ( $14.17 million/year), Michael Schumacher - Professional Formula One Driver ($80 million/year) Alex Rodriguez - Third Base, New York Yankees ($25.7 million/year) Barry Bonds - Outfield, San Francisco Giants ($22 million/year), Derek Jeter - Shortstop, New York Yankees ($19.6 million/year), Tiger Woods - PGA Tour Professional ($80.3 million/year), Stephon Marbury - Point Guard, New York Knicks ($14.625 million/year), Andre Agassi - Tennis Professional ($28.2 million/year) Oscar de la Hoya ($22 million/year), David Beckham ($28)

Bonnie and Clyde

So i had to watch this movie for one of my classes so i figured i'll write about it....
Bonnie and Clyde are famous for their robbing spree in the 1930's. They were known for being vicious outlaws, and became more known as they traveled through Central United States as they ran away from the law. Along the way Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow had many encounters with the law, as they tried to capture Bonnie and Clyde. In the process they became famous in some sort of way, for all the robbing sprees they went on.
As they ran from state to state, one particular ranger had a grudge against Bonnie and Clyde. Due to Bonnie’s great idea of taking pictures with the ranger as they held him up (Bonnie and Clyde) and then planned on sending it to every law enforcement and newspaper, to make a fool of the Ranger. As time went on Bonnie and Clyde’s relationship started to blossom. The more the law wanted them, the more their love grew stronger. Bonnie was educated where as Clyde was not. This is where they might have had some difference. Bonnie expresses her self through actions at first. Where as Clyde was spontaneous and mostly on the move. In the beginning of the film Bonnie does most of the talking, and only gets her feeling across through talking. Down the road, as Bonnie gets more comfortable, she finds another way of expressing her self, and that’s trough writing. She starts to write poems, and short little stories. Either on what she was feeling or what was going on at the moment. She rights a poem, only this poem is about her adventure with Clyde. Clyde is touched by this poem and suggests to send it to the newspaper. In doing so, this will keep Bonnie and Clyde legacy on and people will know who they are.

Adjusting to College

The students on campus may be the most interesting part of campus life, more specifically the independence they have and how they handle all the responsibility that comes with being a college student. Each student has his or her own schedule of classes and other extra curricular activities that they juggle throughout the semester and every student does it differently. It is interesting to see the different things students do on their own in college versus being at home and having someone do it for them.
Responsibility, independence and time management are the basic steps a student should develop to reach success in college. Even the minor things such as doing laundry food shop and waking up on your own are important because there is no one there to remind you to do them. For instance, one often finds one self setting the alarm five to ten minutes before getting ready to go to class because being on time is important, not only in college but every where one goes. Living on your own without any parent reminding you of your responsibilities is hard, but it is definitely something one can adjust to.
Furthermore, living on your own means you have the liberty and the ability to make all the decisions that could affect your life. Simple decisions such as deciding what time to go to bed are essential because it affects ones ability to stay focus and react throughout the day. Many people soon realize that obtaining enough sleep is vital to managing campus life. The most given advice from college students is to sleep as much as one can, whenever one can because one will need the energy.
