How Youth Sports Create Successful Adults
Bruises, life-long friends, ripped shirts, and more trophies than my mom knows what to do with—the world of youth sports has given me a lot. Some sports impressed more emotion and value upon me than others. Youth sports have given me one of the greatest feelings I’ve ever experienced: walking off the field during my senior season of varsity soccer while holding a Sectional Championship trophy. Sports have also given me some of my hardest times, as I worked to find balance with my social life, daily practices, and studying for the SATs, all while trying to keep my grades up.

How Yoga Changed My Life
Yoga changed my life. Yes, I’m going to say the cliché thing that you read on pamphlets outside of your local yoga studio. Someone with a fake name did yoga once and felt spiritually, physically, and mentally enlightened. Yoga changed my life. Except my story is slightly different.

Just like everyone else, they succumb to cancer, anorexia, addiction, and other chronic illnesses. Charlie Sheen is the most recent celebrity to reveal that he is suffering from a very serious illness. On November 17th, 2015, the fifty-year-old visited the Today Show to reveal that he has contracted HIV. "It's a hard three letters to absorb,” he told interviewer Matt Lauer. “It's a turning point in one's life.”

Germiest Things We Touch Every Day
A study shows that bacteria, such as cold and flu viruses can survive for 18 hours on hard surfaces. Since the average adult can touch as many as 30 objects within a minute, it is important to keep those germs at bay. Everyday objects like a purse, shoes and even a steering wheel are some of the germiest things we touch every day that harbor harmful germs. Cleaning inside your home can help to protect you, but going food shopping, out to dinner or even to the doctor's office are ways to come in contact with just a few of the germiest surfaces and objects. However, having products like hand sanitizer or antibacterial wipes are ways that you can avoid or eliminate bacteria from the things around you and your own hands.
