The Yondr Pouches
How do students feel about Yondr pouches being used in school? I was reading a article and it was bringing up how students don't like the Yondr pouches and how it makes teachers not trust their students because the students have found a way to not break open the Yondr pouch. I feel personally that they're dumb and there are a plethora of methods on breaking it and just getting your phone out . I also feel like the program will not last long at John Marshall since again there are already ways to break the pouch, number two the students will simply not always agree with it, and it's overall inconvenient except for people like staff.
Race Walking “Track & Field”
Race Walking “Track & Field” the activity or competitive sport of walking at a very fast pace. The sport is very underrated and not very much talked about in Track & Field . It's not as easy as it may seem. It's more than just walking, there's a rule to the sport ,and takes a lot of training just like any other event in Track. There are two basic rules in Race Walking. The athlete must keep both feet on the ground. • Knees: The advancing leg must be straightened (not bent at the knee) from when the foot first makes contact with the ground until the vertical upright position. I’ve tried race walking just to get a feel of the sport. Me and some friends did it while we were at practice. It's hard, your hips hurt, you can’t fully pick your feet up off the ground. “ I give full props to the athletes who do this sport !“
John Marshall does not have Race as of right now but in the future hopefully they will add the event to our Track & Field team. To give kids the chance to participate in the event .
If there's a sport that demands the utmost self-belief and inner confidence in yourself, it has to be track and field. In a sport where you and only you can affect your performance, a great deal of responsibility and pressure can weigh on your shoulders.
Since the beginning of time, thousands upon thousands of men and women have competed in track and field events and experienced the same nerves and emotions that people feel to this very day.
