The Culture of Combat Sports and Cutting Weight

Image
A Physical Advantage or A Death Wish? Trixie Rosal University of San Francisco RHET 120 - Written Communications Professor Chisako A. Cole 14 May 2018 Cutting weight is a very controversial issue in the culture of combat sports. While athletes, trainers, coaches and even commentators speak about this topic, I too would like to share some of thoughts. I chose this topic as it connects deeply with me in a totally different sense. Weight issues are definitely something I care about and for this essay, it was recommended that we write about our passions. To connect it to the sports culture, I understood that in some sports, athletes cut weight, which means to lose weight. The idea of cutting weight, did not really sit well with me as I also understood, the negative impacts it has on a person’s health. I, a person coming back from a world of a hectic cycle of starvation, purging and binge-eating, I know how grueling and unhealthy it can be. I definitely put my life at risk and ...

End of the year blog

Hi bloggers(: We made it! Its the end of the year! This year went by so fast. Awwww. Im going to miss so many things about our intermediate life. Our memories, our friends, our new friends, etc. I honestly am going to miss leadership. Although, i struggled so much during the year because of leadership, it was such a great experience. All the challenges that i faced. I learned how to be stronger and do better. I learned from my mistakes. During my struggles, i had my leadership friends to help me. They are like my secon family. We work together as a team and what goes for one, goes for all. Im going to miss everyone in the leadership family especially Yazmeen because she's moving to Oklahoma. I dont want her to move. Im also going to miss Errlyn. She has done so much for me. She's a great group leader. We sure did have our ups and downs #bully but at the end, we were friends again. Whenever we needed help, Errlyn was always there to help us. Im going to miss coming to school...

Weekly blog. 5/13-5/17

Hi bloggers(: so this week went by really slow... Like really slow. My classes were really long. I was really stressed out as well. Especially, my classes. Monday: i had to present twice. Once for english and once for science. I was proud because when i checked webgrader, i found out that i aced both of them. Got perfect scores. It was fun presenting and watching other students present. Presentations are always a fun thing to do^_____^ then for math, all we did was take notes on the expectations for the three paragraph essay we had to do for the project frog. It was pretty boring. The essay isnt really hard if you think about it. The first paragraph is about how we acquired math concepts during this project. The second paragraph is about technology and what we used. The third paragraph is about how we incorparated math concepts on the laptop(fablab) and explanations about if the project was easy,hard,frustrating,etc. It really isnt that hard. Tuesday: for AVID we did a timed writ...

Weekly blog. 4.29-5.3

Hi bloggers. This week was probably one of the busiest week ever because of banquet. This week was good too though. Friday night was a night to remember. On thursday and friday, we had to find a homeroom to stay in because on Thursday, it was the 7th graders class day, and on friday, Mr. Ing had a meeting in the morning and they had to go set up for banquet in the afternoon. On thursday morning, i went to Mrs. Chun's class and for period six, i went to Ms. Palmgren's class. It was kind a bad idea to go to Mrs. Palmgren's class for a sub period for period 6 because i had to have her again for period 2.-. But i got to teach the class(x Well, not really teach but be like an assistance. Then for advisory, i also went to Mrs. Chun's class at it was fun. Whoever met their AR goal got to go play outside(: I had fun playing ninja and volleyball with everybody. On friday, we went to Mrs. Chun's class again for homeroom and advisory. As usual, advisory was fun because we go...

April 22 - April 26

Hi bloggers. This week went by so fast. This week was also a stressful week for not only me but for everybody else. Personal Display Boards are due before next week wednesday. Banquet is coming up and so is curriculum night. There are many events coming up and there is no time for fooling around and just not doing anything. I found out that we can no longer use our phones because people were like "Why do they get to use their phones." which is true because we do get to and its only fair if we don't get too also. Many people are just wandering around when there is so much work to do in so little time. For example, me. Every morning when we could do work, i don't know why i don't use that time to do work. Now, i learned my lesson because i really need to work on my personal display board. CURRICULUM NIGHT INTERVIEWS- This week was also the week when our curriculum night interview was due. Trust me, those things aren't really the easiest thing to do. Our interv...

Weekly Blog 04/15-4/19.. Track meet (: 04/20/13

Morning Bloggers. Lets talk about my week before we get into the track stuff. Well, my week wasn't such a great week for me all just because i was so far behind in all my work. I ended up working whenever i can during the week. Good thing, I'm all caught up now. Well, this is how my classes went. Period 1- we sketched the frog building, front and side view. Then we went on the computer to experiment (FabLab) and how to construct our 3D frog building. We also corrected homework and did classwork on ratios and the odds of favorable and unfavorable. Period 2- OMG! That class was boring. All we did was continue on our project and read a rap and had another piece of paper that shows what the rap meant.  Period 3- Science wash't so bad. We're doing a fun project about constellations. We're making a not so true story about whatever our constellation look like. There's no right or wrong answer. It's just a magical story. Period 4- We took 2 explorer t...

Weekly Blog. 04/08-04/12

Hey bloggers. This week went really good but very tiring. With all of track practices and orientation. It was exhausting. I survived though(: This is how my week went... Math- Missed one of her class due to the 6th grade orientation. I was given the chance to make up some things for this class and I did. I'm caught up with everything now. Right now, we're leaning about probability and all that fun stuff. It's a pretty easy lesson. Social Studies- This whole week was just classes for us to work on our "Civil War In A Bag" project. I got 8 out of 12 things done right now meaning I have to work extra harder and faster because this whole project is due next week thursday already. I need 6 more things done. Pretty easy things. Science- I missed one of her class due to the 6th grade orientation as well. Since we only had HSA, I was pretty much caught up with everything. There was this situation that happened because of HSA and us missing it because of orientation....
