Cam Newton Is The Real Superman

Nothing will stop Cam from dabbing.

Cam Newton Is The Real Superman
Forbes

Cam Newton lights up any room with his million dollar smile. It is hard not to instantly fall in love with his charismatic personality and well-deserved confidence. His incredible talents have left Panthers fans in awe when he dabs after yet another touchdown. Business Insider called Cam Newton, “the greatest football player on the planet.” and stated, “The NFL will never be the same.” Breaking records like its his job, Newton demolished Peyton Manning’s record by 120 yards when he threw 400 yards in his first game, he ran 14 touchdowns in a season, more than any other NFL quarterback in history, broke Otto Graham’s record of 61 years for passing yards by any rookie quarterback, and he broke yet another record when he threw 30 touchdowns in a single season and rushed for ten of them.

In addition to his football talents, he generously gives back to the community on a regular basis. He lifts the spirits of sick kids in the hospital, he spearheaded and actively runs the Cam Newton Foundation, which is committed to addressing the social, physical, and educational needs of the youth, and he makes sure to give a lucky kid a football after each Panther touchdown.

After one long practice, Newton removed his cleats and signed one before giving them both to fan, Brian Cooper, as a gift. Cam spoke with him and then made his way back to the locker room in his socks. His love for life is contagious and inspiring. His genuine kindness is so rare and such a beautiful thing to witness. Many of his good deeds go unrecognized, but that does not stop Cam from spreading his love to everyone he comes in contact with.


It actually confuses me when someone says they don’t like Cam Newton. I assume their hate must stem from their lack of knowledge or pure jealousy. Yes, Cam dabs after making a touchdown, but Rogers jumps around and skips, Watt pretends to take selfies-- how is that any different from Cam?
Cam Newton is still criticized by his haters for the way he acted after the Panther’s Super Bowl loss. Let me remind you Peyton Manning acted in a similar way after the Colts lost to the Saints at Super Bowl XLIV. He ran off the field and did not shake hands with any of the Saints players. Cam did reach out to Peyton after the Super Bowl game and congratulated him. Yes, he was upset, but wouldn’t you be too if you had just lost such an important game? His behavior exhibits just how committed he is

to his team and his sport. It shows his passion for the game. Football is personal for him and that is why he is so successful and the face of the NFL. So if you’re okay with Peyton’s actions, but not Cam’s then you need to seriously reevaluate your double standard. Cam is not only a good person, he is the most gifted player in the NFL. This short article barely scratches the surface of all of Cam's accomplishments. It would be impossible to consolidate his amazing work on and off the field into any article.

So sorry haters, your argument is simply invalid and empty-- as Cam says, “too bad they don’t make band-aids for feelings.” Nothing will stop Cam from dabbing.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
