...Today was my first lacrosse practice. Yes, it was true that I was the only girl in the Beacon Hills High lacrosse team. I’ve never really been into sports, but this, this was different. A week ago, I attended a lacrosse practice. A ball flew towards me and I managed to catch it with a lacrosse stick. Coach asked me to throw it back and I did, I passed it to him. After practice, Coach talked to me and said he still had one place in the field. Of course I said yes, not just because it’s beneficial for college, but also because of Scott. Yeah, I was in love with him, head over heels. I always looked at him from a distance and now was my chance to really get to know him. Someone tapped me on my shoulder. Speaking of the devil: It was Scott. “Are you ready for your first practice?” His famous smile had formed on his face, you know, the one that makes you weak in the knees? “Yeah, I guess…” He looked at me from head to toe. Wait, did he just check me...

...A great soccer player, Mia Hamm, once said, “I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.” This quote describes the Central Dauphin Girls lacrosse team the most because the whole team has sacrificed to become the best team we can be. Over the past four years, we have changed the culture of the lacrosse team. We have dedicated and prided ourselves on winning, teamwork, and having fun. In the last three years, we have won a Mid-Penn championship and have been to districts twice. The leaders of the previous teams impacted this team and myself to keep improving and working hard to be the best leader I can be for the team now. I have impacted...

From international relations to neighborhood and family life, concerns about leadership ethics and human welfare are the focus of news, political movements, and civic initiatives. Emotionally engaging terms like “moral leadership,” “the free world” and “human freedom” are often used in the media without much explanation or clarification. Momentous decisions are made and life choices established in the name of values attached to these and similar terms. What do we really mean by “moral leadership,” or “freedom?” If two people use these terms in a conversation, do they explicitly share a common understanding of them or just assume common ground? For instance...

...At liftoff, Matt Eversmann said a Hail Mary. He was curled into a seat between two helicopter crew chiefs, the knees of his long legs up to his shoulders. Before him, jammed on both sides of the Black Hawk helicopter, was his "chalk," twelve young men in flak vests over tan desert camouflage fatigues. He knew their faces so well they were like brothers. The older guys on this crew, like Eversmann, a staff sergeant with five years in at age twenty-six, had lived and trained together for years. Some had come up together through basic training, jump school, and Ranger school. They had traveled the world, to Korea, Thailand, Central America... they knew each other better than most brothers did. They'd been drunk together, gotten into fights, slept on forest floors, jumped out of airplanes, climbed mountains, shot down foaming rivers with their hearts in their throats, baked and frozen and starved together, passed countless bored hours, teased one another endlessly about girlfriends or lack of same, driven in the middle of the night from Fort Benning to retrieve each other from some diner or strip club on Victory Drive after getting drunk and falling asleep or pissing off some barkeep. Through all those things, they had been training for a moment like this. It was the first time the lanky sergeant had been put in charge, and he was nervous about it. Pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death, Amen. It was midafternoon, October 3, 1993. Eversmann's Chalk Four...
