Navy Week 2018 Was A Definite Success

Ever wanted to become apart of something greater, but was not sure where to start?

Navy Week 2018 Was A Definite Success
Navy

The week of April 9, 2018, I had the wonderful opportunity to represent the Navy Delayed Entry Program by joining the Navy Sailors during Navy Week. When growing up I always wanted to be apart of something great so I can make an impact on lives. The Navy has turned into one of my many choices to achieve that goal. This last week, the Navy inspired not just myself, but numerous people in the Birmingham, Alabama area by hosting events in Alabama.

The events included performances by the Navy's Southeast Brass Quintet, as well as the Navy's Southereast Band. Additionally, numerous opportunities to watch the Navy Seal Leapfroggers jump into Railroad Park and Regions Field.

At Regions Field last Wednesday, the Navy's Southeast Band performed to start off the night in prep for the Baron's game honoring the Navy! You can see the Future Sailors together watching, as well as families watching in awe!


These videos I personally took at Regions field of the Navy Seal's Leapfroggers jumping from a height of over 40,000 feet out of an aircraft. You can see and hear the announcer discussing their tricks as well!


And he sticks the landing!

This was interesting, the Mayor of Birmingham even was offered the chance to join them on jumping over 40,000 feet in the air into Regions Field on Wednesday, April 11, 2018.

Plus, the first pitch of the night was delivered by a robot controlled by Navy EOD personnel.


To Conclude Navy Week 2018 in Birmingham, AL the Navy Blue Angels flew and performed stunts in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.


My life has included bad choices and great ones. If I know anything, I am proud to say I am apart of the Navy Delayed Entry Program to one day be something greater-to be able to not only inspire others like they have me but to support and defend my country.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
