Playing by the Rules

Once in a while, a natural athlete is born. This is a person who has anangryunusualresult

talent for a

sport. Tiger Woodsmindwereis

one such person. He makes thefairgametoo

of golf look so easy, andgolf'speoplestopped

athlete was Bobby Jones. Bobby playedgolfcountrydid

years ago, but many youngeasygolfersso

Bobby was born overgolfersoneless

hundred years ago. Like Tiger, Bobbypenaltyshowednatural

a talent for golf

at aathleteusualyoung

age. He was too short torulesusemore

a club in half for

him. Bobbysawedonlynever

had a real golf lesson. Instead, herealoftenlearned

by imitating the best golfer at the

course near his house.

By agetoldtherefourteen

, Bobby was playing in tournaments. Heplaythinkwas

he gottournamenthouseangry

easily. When he missed a shot, heinsteadwouldshowed

often yell and throw his club down. “To

With time, Bobby learned tocontrolyellage

The City Championship

The name “City Champion” has a nice sound, doesn't it? At the beginning of last summer, I

soredidn'tcoached

think of myself as a champ. I hadneverfirstevery

been a champion at anything. Ibasketballsoonharder

learned,

though, what can happen as theworkwhistleresult

of a few months of hardcallshalftimework

and practice.

My friends and Ibeatingplaygame

basketball at the Youth Services Center almost everydayeventwants

. Each

year the center hosts asummergivefriends

event called Student Leaders Athletic Mentoring. Everybody calls this

the Summer SLAM forshortseemedday

. Workers at the center assign localwinkidswanted

to teams. Then each team

a coach who is a greathighhostsmore

This year our coachwascan'twould

By the time the Summer SLAM gamesrolledprettythen

Making Chocolate

What sweet treat do you enjoy? For Troy, it was chocolate. Thatwouldisgoing

why he was so excited

when hefoundprocesshuge

When the students arrived at thefactorytropicaldark

, they went into a huge room. On thepassednibswalls

were a

The guide explained thatwhilelothanging
