Sullivan University in my hometown. I still want to go to Full Sail, but I want to use my experience from Sullivan to be more successful at Full Sail. Sullivan has a really good graphic design program where I could get an Associate’s degree in one year and have life-time job assistance from them. This could definitely come in handy if I'm going to move to a different state. If I do become a successful animator, my long term goal is to become an animator for big productions like video games and films. I'd love to get a job at Pixar or Universal Studios, or maybe Activision or EA Games as an animator. I also wouldn't mind working on other visuals and storyboards. The typical day for an animator consists of sitting with a client and discussing their vision, which sounds like fun actually. The salary doesn't really interest me. Growing up, my parents always taught me that money doesn't buy happiness, so I always strive towards careers that make me happy, rather than careers like the cliche Lawyer or Doctor rich guy jobs that parents want their kids to be. Personally being a Lawyer or Accountant sounds awful to me. The money would be great, but I don't want to wake up every morning and go to my stupid Lawyer job. I'd rather wake up and be happy to go to work. To view some of Myles’ animations on his Deviantart.com site: Stick People Annimation 1 Stick People Annimation 2 Stick People Annimation 3
Wanna Play Ball? Davon Carr Anyone out there want to be a professional baseball player? If so, there are many things that you should know about the sport. In the game of baseball, about 627,000 injuries occur in a year. Out of those 627,000 injuries about 117,000 of them are endured by children from the ages of 5-14. That’s a lot of injuries; it kind of makes you reconsider playing baseball since it shows how often you get hurt. There are other gruesome facts about baseball. The worst is that some people have died while playing professional baseball. From 1983-2009, there were 52 baseball related deaths. It’s not as bad as it sounds, because out of thousands of players, only 3-4 die a year. Tragic as it may be, it also goes to show that it doesn’t happen often. Many injuries occur when you’re running the bases and you pull your hamstring or cut the corner of a base too early and sprain your ankle. You can also can also get a common injury, called a “strawberry” where there is a burn or cut on the skin. It usually doesn’t hurt too badly, but depending on the area of the body where the strawberry is located, it can be painful in the long run. Injuries can also come from being hit by a bat or the baseball itself. I’ve had two experiences being hit with a baseball that caused an injury. My first incident was in pregame warm-ups last year and the coach hit the ball into the sun and I lost it and it came down and hit me in the chest and it knocked the wind out of me. My second injury was this year when the coach, once again, hit the ball up in the sun, but this particular time I got hit in the eye. I had blurry vision for about 10 minutes and my eye was black for about three days. The most common types of injuries are in the shoulder, elbow, knees, muscle pulls, contusions, and ligaments, black eyes, concussions, and lacerations. If you choose not to have some or most of these injuries treated, they could be career ending. That is the worst thing that you can tell an athlete, especially a dedicated one. Baseball injuries occur to the upper body 51.4% of the time. Injuries to the lower body occur about 30.6% of the time. That gives you a general idea of where most of your injuries might be. Half of your injuries will be in your upper body which is the shoulder region, elbows, neck, forearms, and chest. Every once in a while you might get a lower body injury that involves the knees, hamstrings, feet, shins, and ankles. You may think it’s hard to deal with those injuries. Not really; that’s why the teams should have a team trainer. They will get you on track, or give you some type of treatment to get you through the injury. If you don’t have a team trainer, then you will have to worry about the injury and how you will overcome it. Many wonder why there are so many games in the major league season. In little league, you don’t really play that many, in high school you only play about 30-40 games, and in college, you might play 50-60 games. The majors play a total of 162 games before the playoffs! Baseball is game of intelligence. You don’t have to be the fastest or the strongest, but you will have to work hard and be dedicated to learning and practicing the game, not only 24/7, but as coach says, “25/8,” adding an extra day and hour to be successful in what you do. Anybody can give baseball a try; you don’t have to be super athletic, just smart with good instincts. If you’ve been thinking about playing, see Coach Gunther and find out if this game is for you.
