Personal Narrative My life is fulfilled with experiences that are mostly harmful to me whether it comes to concussions or placing my hand on a hot iron. On the other end of the spectrum, there is also a few good things that are significant, but sadly there's not as many, from flawless football seasons to math achievements.

and women with equal opportunity to compete in sports. There are many issues with Title IX and because these violations of Title IX are growing louder, it’s going to be more difficult for institution to report bogus numbers to indicate the number of women athletes competing in athletics.

Women and Men have…
