Biography section of a media kit for an aspiring Olympic Athelete -- (Jan 31st, 2023)
Destinee [last name] has been running since age twelve. After trying out a wide variety of sports with her father and twin brother, from tennis to soccer to even ballet, her coaches saw something special when she started doing hurdles. After realizing her natural talent, she decided to drop her other sports and put all her focus on running. Her success and dedication carried her to the track teams of both middle and high school, of which she was a member of both, but she didn’t see herself continuing through college. Running was a fun hobby for her, even after winning the state championship for the state of Georgia. It was after being granted a scholarship that Destinee saw the opportunity in running professionally.From there, Destinee transferred first to Colorado State, where she won both indoor and outdoor conferences. Afterwards she transferred, much to the dismay of her coach, to Oregon State, then finally to South Carolina. All the while she continued to impress her coaches with her dedication to the field and classroom. This positive attention earned both admiration and some animosity from her peers, including one not showing up to the podium after being beaten on the field. Destinee powered through the naysayers the same way any athlete does, by pushing forward and doing her best.Destinee has been training on-and-off with her current coach since her high school days, their bond growing ever-stronger over the years. Her father is her number-one fan, and the closest she would consider a mentor.

Blog Entry for a Bathroom Remodeling Company (Excerpt) -- (November, 2022)
Whether you're tired of your old bathroom or you're wanting to increase the value of your home, starting a bathroom remodeling project can be a big undertaking. It’s no secret that many homeowners put off tackling much-needed bathroom remodeling projects. After all, bathroom remodels can be a daunting task that requires both time and money. But if you’re finally ready to give your bathroom the attention it deserves, where do you start? Here are the necessary steps to take that will get you closer to the bathroom of your dreams. Forbes.com gives a useful list of how to find the right contractors for you.
The first thing you need to do before making any inquiries is to have an idea or clear plan in mind, Before reaching out to either the contractor or your local Homedepot or Lowes. Have a clear vision of what your project will be. Is this a small-scale job with minimal minimal work being done to your bathroom, with paint, or new hardware? Or is this a big-scale job that will involve a change to the layout of the entire bathroom? Write down exactly what you’re hoping to do, and be sure to record important information such as your budget and availability.
Next, figure out your timeline. When do you want the project to be done? How much are you willing to spend? Are you thinking you need to tear down any walls or move any of the plumbing around? If your project involves removing walls, consider talking to a licensed contractor or one of us at Sheiner Construction for guidance. When you have a set plan for your home, get it all down and prepared. This way the contractor can have the clearest vision of your home, and thus can bring that vision to reality.
