Every Person Should Know How To Golf No Matter If They Are 8 Years Old Or 80 Years Old
Liam Lindy

Golf is my favorite hobby in life. I am the first to admit that I am not the most skilled at it, but life is not always about how good or bad you are at something. What I do have, though, is a passion for the game. I began playing at age 4 and have been out there on the course ever since.

I first got involved with golf because of my dad. When I was younger, he spent almost 100 hours a week building his businesses and building a life for his family; however, every Sunday during the season, from 8 a.m. to noon, was father-son time. I looked forward to it every week.

Golf is a great activity to play to get to know someone. Think about it: the course lasts two to four hours and is uninterrupted by cell phone usage, golf courses usually have good food, and golf is a fun sport. The best part about it is that its not a four-hour conversation but a lot of small talk or one big conversation. It's the best.

I tell you all this to make a charge for you: take up the game of golf. It is good for the mind. It will help you de-stress and is a great way to make friends.

Golf is also a lifelong game: you can play golf when you are four, and you can play golf when you are eighty. Another thing I love about golf is that it is an objective game, meaning you can always make measurable improvements. Until your score is at zero, you can make improvements. As well, with handicap scoring, you can always play with friends who are of different abilities and it is fair and enjoyable for all.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on why golf is so great.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
