Problem: Article: When you're drying a window in horizontal swipes, it's important that the squeegee blade stays in contact with the glass the entire time. If the blade comes off, it will leave water behind, and this will create streaks when the water dries. To make sure the blade keeps contact with the glass, apply gentle pressure to the squeegee as you swipe from one side of the window to the other. Avoid using any type of water that still has minerals and other elements in it, because these can leave streaks and marks on otherwise clean windows. When non-distilled water evaporates from the windows, it can leave behind traces of these elements and minerals that will stay on the glass and leave visible marks. Any cleaning solution that's allowed to dry on the window before it's properly wiped off will leave cleaning residue or water marks on the windows. Do not interrupt your window cleaning when you're in the middle of cleaning or squeegeeing a window. Once you start cleaning a window, work as quickly as possible to ensure the cleaner doesn't have time to dry on the glass. When you use an absorbent cloth to rub a window dry, you just move dirt and moisture around on the glass rather than cleaning or drying it properly. Glass isn't actually as smooth as it looks, and is actually pitted. So when you use a cloth to dry windows, you leave different quantities of moisture and cleaner on different parts of the glass, and this leads to streaks. Squeegees are the best way to dry windows for a streak-free clean because they don't absorb moisture from one spot and deposit it elsewhere. Many people swear by newspaper for cleaning and drying windows, but this method is problematic, and is likely to leave streaks for two reasons: First, the newspaper moves dirt, moisture, and cleaning solution around just like an absorbent cloth would. Second, the ink from the newspaper is liable to run and leave dark streaks all over the glass. Spray bottles deposit an inconsistent amount of cleaning solution on the windows, and there's no guarantee that you'll actually clean every inch of the glass. Glass that's cleaned unevenly is likely to streak. It's much better to apply cleaning solution with a sponge or cloth that's soaked in your cleaner, because this way you can apply an even layer of cleaner to the entire surface.
Summary: Don't pull the squeegee off the window mid-swipe. Use only distilled water for window cleaning. Don't stop cleaning or drying mid-window. Don't rub windows dry with absorbent cloths. Don't use newspaper. Avoid using spray bottles.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's okay if you are upset when someone says hurtful things; feeling hurt after being insulted is natural. Be okay with truly allowing yourself to feel the hurt. It's unhealthy to not personally acknowledge and accept when someone has hurt you. Take the alone time that you need to privately deal with your pain. Just try to avoid dwelling on it. Don't hesitate to talk to someone you trust if you find that you are really struggling with getting over your hurt feelings. This will help you to vocalize your feelings, and as a result, it might allow you to finally move on. You can respond and react to an insult in a number of different ways. For example, you might feel angry, sad, vindictive, or maybe even resentful towards the individual who insulted you. You might have responded by retaliating with an insult or by bursting into to tears. Take time to analyze why you reacted and responded in the way that you did. If, for example, you recall that the insult made you so angry that you couldn't think clearly, take time to reflect on why. You could ask yourself, "What caused me to feel so angry and enraged inside? Was it the embarrassment of the insult, or do I feel that the insult was unwarranted?" When someone insults you, it's helpful to take time to consider a few things. Think about who the insult came from, why it happened, and whether the insult is actually true. Usually, if the insult came from someone you respect like a parent, teacher, or best friend, taking the insult into consideration makes sense. On the other hand, if you were insulted by someone who you don't respect, it makes sense to not consider the validity of the insult. For example, if your mother said, "Stop being lazy and try keeping a job past 30 days," take time to reflect on what she said. If in fact you are now unemployed and just quit your third job in six months, the statement is actually not an insult but the truth, though not stated in an ideal way. You can use that revealed truth for self-improvement. Sometimes it's hard to admit and accept when you are deserving of someone's hurtful words. It takes courage to admit and offer an apology when you are at fault; however, you must acknowledge and admit to your mistakes so you can be a better person. For example, your brother suffered life-threatening injuries after being in a serious car accident; when you call him two days later, he calls you a heartless human being for choosing to attend a party instead of visiting him in the hospital. You're best bet would be saying, "I'm deeply sorry for my selfishness and not putting you first when you really needed me the most. I hope in time you will forgive me."

SUMMARY: Allow yourself to be upset. Reflect on your reaction and response. Consider whether or not the insult is valid. Acknowledge if you are at fault and apologize.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once a coach has identified potential recruits, they begin reviewing these athletes more closely. They will verify your highlight reel and your statistics with your club and high school coaches. They will also verify your high school transcript with your school. At this stage it is important to have all of your information organized. Coaches want to see that potential recruits are taking this process seriously and are able to follow up with them with the information that they request. This is the stage where coaches or the recruiters they work with will come to watch you play. They may invite you on official or unofficial visits of the university and contact your family members. Coaches want to see that you are an upstanding young person who is responsible, a team player, committed to soccer, and interested in their university. During this time, you will need to spend time visiting the schools and meeting other players on the team. Continue to build your relationship with the college coach and emphasize that you are very interested in playing for them. Coaches that are interested in offering you a scholarship at this stage will extend verbal or formal written commitments. Depending on the school, you may receive this offer through your high school or club coach. You may have room to negotiate the terms of the offer but you should review them carefully. Read over each offer very carefully with your parents and coaches. There may be terms for the offer, like maintaining a certain grade point average or participating in a training camp before school starts, that you have to understand and follow. Unless you are a top recruit at one of the best Division I schools, you will probably be unable to negotiate any offer you receive. If there are some specific terms that you can negotiate, proceed cautiously. Teams have been known to pull offers from athletes that they believe to be too pushy or disrespectful. If you receive multiple offers, you may be able to leverage one offer against another. Keep in mind that some schools will offer a scholarship for a specific amount, like $20,000 each year, or a percentage, like 50% of tuition. A coach that offers you the highest amount, even if it is not a full ride, is unlikely to up their offer when they hear that schools are offering you less money. Congratulations! You've received a soccer scholarship from a team that you're interested in. At this point, you will sign with the university and accept their soccer scholarship. This is essentially a contract between you and the college agreeing that you will play on their soccer team when you enroll in the school.
Summary:
Make it through preliminary evaluations. Have secondary evaluations. Receive offers. Negotiate your offer, if possible. Accept your offer.
