      Title X is a law that basically says that women can do what men can do educationally and physically. It says that it’s not  right for men to have special classes if they need extra help, if women can’t have them. It also states that women also should not be able to play any sports (softball, basketball, soccer etc.) if men are not allowed to play them. Basically, women should be able to have the same opportunities as men. I believe this article is 100% fair because it allows me to be in school right now, and play sports, and even get a scholarship. If someone eliminates women’s rights in college sports, it also means they would not be playing in any professional sports. That is definitely discrimination. I believe that women should definitely be able to participate in sports and school no matter what. I think that even if someone is special or bigger than someone else, they should have a chance just like anyone else would. This is a strong, important article that means a lot to women athletes all over the world. Also, as you can see it was a good choice to allow women to play sports, because they have definitely done our country proud.

Title X was started under President Nixon in 1970. Title X is now managed in the Department of Health and Human Services ’Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Population Affairs by the Office of Family Planning. Title X is a core component in the U.S health system. Now with the Title X it insures low-income women all of the following:  Comprehensive, culturally competent counseling and services; Breast and pelvic examinations; Breast and Cervical Cancer screening; Healthy body weight screening and counseling; HIV testing, and many more. Title X has done a lot for women all over for many different things, anywhere from sports to education and so on. It started under President Nixon and has continued to bless many women all over.

      This article is all about the money spent at Ohio State University. It basically says that even though they are putting out SO much money, they are also taking in quite a bit too. Ohio State Universities budget is the biggest in College sports, not just now but in history. The school receives so much money. They have 36 varsity teams. For each team game they have concessions, parking, tickets, and souvenir stores. So, for all of the 36 teams, in each game they earn the money for all of that. The UF football  team(who beat OSU) made about 34 million dollars alone last year. The schools are using this money to fund everything else. They fund tutors, they used it to make a athlete only lounge, they use it to pay bills too, etc. They even spent over $700,00 on a utility bill last year. It's important to have a strong football team because you want power, you will get more money, you'll get more fans, and everything else. I think that the way that OSU does things balances out well. I think their plans and organization of their sports is well. OSU gains a lot of money but they put out alot too. While doing this, they use the money to build their team up, which i think is very important.

      Basically this article says that some baseball players are very successful. Not only do they play baseball, but they also run business too. Some of the baseball players start even as early as 15. This player(Vladimir Guerrero) opens businesses which he invests in. The Guerrero's have there own company called Los Hermanos Guerrero which means The Guerrero Brothers. The brothers have launched quite a few businesses that help reduce local poverty, including construction-supply stores,a propane distributorship, livestock and vegetable farms. If i was a rich celebrity, i would give back. I would give money to charities. I would do this because, i feel that if I  am blessed with so much and i have the money to help bless others, they deserve it if not as much as me, way more than me.
      I would donate to Operation Smile, if   i were a rich celebrity.The public gets involved by donating money to this organization. This organization does surgery. This surgery gives kids the chance to smile. Kids with cleft lips or cleft  palates can be to embarrassed to even attend school. This 45 minute surgery gives them hope and a life full of happiness. When they leave the country they leave behind education, training, and equipment building a self sufficient global health network centered on continuing to transform lives. Through one child they form partnerships, alliances, and health initiatives, and try to make the world a better place.

      Basically this article states that when students reach college they should be able to take care of themselves. For instance, When a student goes to college he should be able to register himself, rather than having his parents with him, no matter what the excuse is. This article also states how parents are getting over-involved, this also pertains to the example. The parents shouldn't feel obligated to register there own child, it makes their child look lazy and unproductive, and no  college wants a lazy, unproductive child. Some parents also want to, but you need to make your child stand up because he'll need that skill eve n when he gets older.
      The schools are doing this to help the student for future years. The schools try to help the student grow up and move on. They also want them to realize that this looks bad when students cant even go and register themselves.
      I think that the school is right for doing this. I think this because, like i said the students aren't always going to be able to depend on their parents. They eventually need to grow up and move on, and in some cases.. so do the parents.
      Students will benefit from this because when they realize they don't have anyone to help them, they'll step up to the plate and start working. I think this will also motivate the students. The students will also be able to use this when he matures in future years.
     I think my parents wont be attached. I think they'll want me to do it by myself like they no i can and I know that my parents want the best for  me and will want me to be mature about doing it myself.
       Like i said before, I believe the students should be able to stand up for themselves The students should learn that they cant depend on their parents forever.
