Rondale Moore

 

I want to talk about the tragic and sad passing of Rondale Moore. Rondale Moore was a NFL wide receiver and he was just 25 years old. Over the past weekend the sports world lost a young man to a battle with mental health struggles. Rondale had missed the past 2 NFL seasons due to season ending knee injuries both years. Keeping this man off the field and away from the game he loved, leaving him all alone to battle his physical and mental obstacles. I want to share this story to shine light on the importance of mental health and the battles that all types of people struggle with. Rest in peace Rondale Moore.

    This is heartbreaking. I think there really needs to be more help with mental health especially in these contact sports. I also think when people dedicate their whole life to something and everything starts going wrong it can feel like they not only let the people around them down but they let themselves down. Imagine dedicating your whole life to football, it's you lively hood, it's how you make money, provide, it's your passion, and you get injured it stops you from doing the thing that makes you feel the most alive and when you lose that feeling you initially feel as if you don't have anything to live for. I can only imagine the things this young man thought when he realized he wasn't needed anymore because the game he gave his all to wouldn't allow him to play again.

    Reading about this story was really sad. I understand how hard it is to have a season ending knee injury and having a supportive circle makes all the difference. Mental health, specifically mens mental heath is overlooked and not talked about enough, especially on such a global scale like the NFL.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
