Have you ever imagined heavy bright orange jackets, hats, and the crack of a gun? I think that is really cool. That is why I think that pheasant hunting is the best sport.
Pheasant hunting is the spot because it causes your adrenaline to rush. When you hear the bird flapping its wings. You just want to get the gun up before any one else does. That way you can get the first shot!
Another reason why I think pheasant hunting is the best sport ever. You get tons of exercise. Fields can be short or long. You can’t use any motor vehicles because it will scare the birds will fly away. Can’t use tree stands earthier you have to walk. It builds muscle too.
The last reason I think that pheasant hunting is the best sport ever. It is better than sitting in school You get to walk around but in school you have to sit in a chair almost all day. With hunting you get to have bonding time with your family too. Don’t have to pay for your food either unlike school. You should try pheasant hunting. I bet you will enjoy it. And maybe you will make a new friend while your at it too.

Dance
Grace Gulbranson
I think dance is super fun. I have some funny stories about dance. Once I got stuck to a chair. Another time I forgot my solo on stage and embarrassed myself. I have alot of good reasons why I love dance.
One of the reasons dance is important to me is you get to see your friends whenever you go to dance. You also get to talk,party,and dance with your friends. Many of my friends come from dance.
Another reason dance is awesome is you get awards at every competition. It teaches me good sportsmanship. I also use all my trophies for decoration at my house. Another fun activity is at the awards ceremony, we always do The Cha-Cha Slide! It is a fun dance everyone does together.
My last reason is you get really cool costumes. They are different every year. I also reuse my costumes when friends come over. Then we dance around in them when we wear them. Lastly, you can get awards for costumes like when you have a really sparkly costume you can get an award for it.
Well, I am not a big fan of basketball,baseball,or football, but I am a HUGE fan of dance. I have been dancing for 8 years. I really enjoy dancing.

SOCCER
Do you like soccer or baseball better? If you said soccer I would agree with you because you get more exercise in soccer than in baseball.
You do more things with you body in soccer, like running, kicking, jumping, etc. Also you have to have better footwork than in baseball. Finally, you have to be more flexible, especially if you are playing goalie.
You run more in soccer than baseball and here are reasons that support this statement. 1) You are on the field longer. 2) The field is a lot larger. 3) In baseball, you may not run at all.
You get more playing time in soccer than baseball. This is why I think so. First, there are not as many players on a soccer team as on a baseball team. Second, there is less time total for a soccer game, but substitutions are made more frequently in soccer. Finally, the maximum number of offensive baseball players on the field at any given time is four.
The best part about soccer is scoring goals and helping your team win. Oh, sorry, I got to go kick the game-winning goal.

Football is the Best Sport
Football is the Best Sport
Football is the best sport because it’s the only sport you get to tackle people when you are wearing pads and a helmet. If you’re playing football with a friend and you make a good tackle, then you earn your bragging rights.
There are many different positions. You can be a center, tackle, guard, tight end, quarterback, running back, full back, wide receiver and more. It doesn’t matter if you’re not quarterback or running back because defense is more fun because you get to tackle and hit people. Sometimes you even get to sack the quarterback.
In order to play football you have to be athletic and tough. You have to be fast like a running back to get away from defenders and tough in case you get hit hard. Wide receivers have to be tough so when they jump up to catch a pass and you get flipped you don’t get injured.
In order to play football you can’t be cocky. There are a lot of wide receivers that have bad sportsmanship. For example, Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco, Steve Smith all act badly. Randy Moss used to have bad sportsmanship.
Those are only a few reasons why football is the best sport. I hope you try football for all these reasons and lots more.

tennis rox!!
OPINION ESSAY
By: Reilly Jacobson
Think of yourself with a tennis racket and a ball in your hands. Ya, well, that's me and it's called tennis! So here is why I think tennis is such an awesome sport!!
I think tennis is fun because you can hit the ball as hard as you want. Also, you play with a racket and I say that's fun because in most sports you just play with a ball; such as a basketball. One other thing why tennis is such an awesome sport is that for the people who watch the games it can be very interesting. What I mean by that is if you have ever seen a tennis match the players hit really hard so the other person can't even touch it. They also might have a rocket serve (which means it is really fast) or they could have a really long rally.
Tennis is not a complicated game. For example, in basketball you have to remember all of your plays, but not in tennis. Some things you do have to remember are to keep the ball on the court and get your serve in the right spot but other from that, you're fine. Oh ya, one important thing you should do is be on your feet and ready because you don't know where the ball is going to go next.
My last reason is if you don't like lots of people on the court at a time (like me) this is a good sport for you. You have space to hit the ball instead of like basketball where everyone goes for the ball at the same time! You also get more action when you're just on the court. Like I said, it's more of an independent sport!
Now, after all those really good reasons of why you should play tennis, will you play? Well, it's your choice, but I do encourage you to at least try it because you will never know if you like it until you try!
Everyone should have a pet
Have you ever noticed how many people are out walking their dogs, or have pets like cats or fish? lots of people have pets. They get them for many different reasons. In these paragraphs I will tell you why I think all people should have pets.
First, pets are always good friends no matter what. Pets love to have fun lots of the time. They are loyal to you no matter what you do. Sometimes my dog is more loyal then my friends. Pets also stay with you weather you are happy or sad. Even if you are sad, the might do something funny to make you feel better.
If it is a pet like a dog, it can help you stay fit. It can help you stay fit by throwing a Frisbee to your dog outside. You can also stay fit by running with your pet. Last, you can go on short or long walks with them each day.
Last, but not least, sometimes pets can teach you lessons by what they do. Like being respectful and caring to others like they are to you. They can teach you to listen because when you train them they listen to you. Last to be trustworthy because they are trustworthy to you.
As you can see, there are a lot of good reasons why you should get a pet. I think the best is coming home to a friend every day. Even if you did something bad or had a bad day. This is why you should get a pet.

Football
Have you ever looked through a helmet,and seen 100 yards of grass and 11 people coming at you?I have and I'm going to tell you why football is the best sport ever.Football is the best sport because it has the best athletes like Walter Payton,and Barry sanders.They are both fast,strong,and they use strategies like juking.
Football teaches you to play fair.After people score a touchdown they nicely give the ball to the ref.Or they help each other up after they fall or tackle someone.
It's fun too, like when you sack the QB or catch a winning touchdown pass.
Now go play some football and get strong and fast.

Track and Cross Country
By: Autumn VanDyke
Track and cross country are awesome to me. In the next 3 paragraphs I will tell they are so wonderful. If you choose to run like me then you'll get a lot of exercise. Two good things about them are that they make you stronger, and more competitive.
The first reason why I enjoy it is because is because it's easier to be involved in. It's easier to be involved in because it's not very popular. A couple reasons why is because for some people it's too hard, they don't think it's that fun, and they have to blame themselves for the mistakes they make.
My next reason is that you get to meet some of the most competitive runners. Sometimes they are even famous Olympic runners. They all work very hard and they can even break world records. But sometimes it's still cool to just meet new people and race against them.
The last reason is that I have is that you meet new people all around the world. My last paragraph before this said that you get to meet competitive runners, but this time you get to meet people your age. It's cool because when you run the same race you get to tell them good luck, and if it's a long race, then you get to talk to them while running. Lastly who ever wins you always congratulate them.
Those are the reasons why I like track and cross country. I think that if you give it a try you'll probably enjoy it too. If you think you will enjoy this sport then what will make it even better is the food and drinks afterwards. Food and drinks are served in most race but not all. The best kind of races are the ones with the hot chocolate at the end. Scrumptious!!!

The End
baseball
Do you like baseball? If you said no, I will try to change your mind with my essay. Baseball is my favorite sport and basically the only sport I play.
Base ball has a lot of athleticism, no offence basketball and soccer fans but running back and forth on a court or field, shooting and kicking don’t sound like athleticism to me. Running, swinging, sweating and paying attention does. Baseball has some of the best all around athletes.
Another reason is because baseball is exciting! In the ninth inning at a close game you are really shaking and thinking about every play before it happens. The lights during a night game beat down on you like a summer day in Hawaii, letting you know you are hot, sweaty, tired and want to play your best and then go home. Even if you don’t win a game the entire season, you still are thrilled and excited to be playing.
Last but certainly not least catching behind home plate is thrilling. I love catching, it gets me pumped. The catcher is the center of attention, everyone is looking at you and you are looking at them. I have only tagged three people out in my six years of baseball, but the thrill of catching is unexplainable.
Truly the only bad thing about baseball is leaving after the game is over. After the game it is still on your mind; the plays, the outs and the hits. To be honest they still are now.
Softball Rox's!!!!
Softball
Imagine yourself with a bat and a ball in your hands, walking with your teammates, and getting warmed up. All you can think about is the games, making the wining play, and everyone congratulating you. Holding a trophy in your hand, while the crowd is cheering wildly! Then your coach stops and says.... "Girls, be quiet you guys are going to the championship softball game."
That is why i love softball, but here are some more reasons why. Well, my first reason is it has the best action for example, when the batter hits the ball and it is almost a home-run but then your center-fielder is up against the fence and they catch it.!!! Or when the perfect pitch comes, and you get a home-run, and win the game.
My second reason is it gets you tougher and smarter. It gets you tougher because you practice throwing, hitting, and fielding. It gets you smarter because it helps you think of where to throw it. You have to think about where it is gonna go, who is gonna get it and whether to dive or just let it go foul.
My third reason is it is amazing, Awesome, and fantastic! I love to win games! If my team loses then my coach knows what we need to work on. Or if we win then we get congratulated! I absolutely love to get a home-run! I don't just want to get on third or first i want to get a home-run. That is why i love SOFTBALL!!!

If you took a survey on what sport you thought was the best, what sport would you pick? Well I would pick softball because you learn about sportsmanship and you learn lot of things and meet many new people.
One reason why I love softball is because you learn sportsmanship. When a player gets hurt, then gets up everyone claps. Another reason you learn sportsmanship is when you are sliding into hom plate and you don't put your cleat up. That is one reason why softball is the best sport ever.
Another reason why softball is the best sport is that you meet many new people. At softball tournaments you can trade team pins with other players from other teams. You can meet new people when a rnner is on you base or whn your warming up.
The best reason why softball is the best sport ever is becuase you learn a lot. When you play infield you have a lot of responsibilities. When you play third base or first base you have to charge on bunts. Plus all the line drives go to those bases. you have to pay a lot of attention. When you play shortstop and second base you have to cover second base on a throw down.
When you play outfield you have a lot of responsibilities. You have to catch all the balls that go in the outfield then you have to get te ball back in the outfield as fast as you can so the runner doesn't advance to another base.
So if you look back on that survey what sport would you pick?
See ya on the field!

Love to Dance
Have you ever been back stage getting ready to perform? Running through my dances is what i normally do. Dance can be very nerve-racking and challenging at times because you have to be technical and sharp. Dance is a wonderful sport i think you should try.
Dance is a fun sport. As you may know, there many types and styles of dance. A few of these are jazz, tap, ballet, point, lyrical, modern, musical show, and hip-hop. In dance there are also many different moves you can do. For example you could do a disk or a barrel out of a fouette or a turn. Some dance studios also offer tumbling classes. In tumbling class, we work on front and back handsprings, aerials, kips, and many other fun and exciting tricks.
When joining a dance and tumbling class you have a chance to meet new friends. At my studio each year, the technique class will have some returning students and some new students. We also have the option of trying out for a competitive dance team that has kids ranging from 5 to 18 years old. At dance competitions it is fun to see old friends that you haven't seen in a while.
Dance is also healthy for you. Dance helps you have stronger muscles and bones. It also decreases the risk of developing type two diabetes. Dance can help you with three elements of fitness. The three elements are endurance, strength and flexibility.
Dance is fun and very good for you and you have a chance to make long lasting friends. Dance is a sport I think you should try. I've got to go! I'm on in two. I hope to see you on stage too.
video games opinion essay
Bam! Bam! Whooooosh! Do you like video games? I do. in fact, I think they're one of the more fun things in the world to do.
Video games are unique. For example, most video games have different music tracks while you are playing. Each video game has different track. Another example is they can be hard or easy. By easy I mean you can beat it in 20 minutes, and by hard I mean you keep losing lives and it takes forever to complete. One more example is there are different weapons in different video game. You could use a sword in one or rock in another.
Another fun thing about video games is that you can play them with other people. You could play them with friends or family. Sometimes there is even online. That means you can play video game with other people that have online. But the best thing about playing video games with other people is you can play competitively or cooperatively. by competitively I mean you are competing with each other and by cooperatively you are helping them with the level or something like that.
the last thing fun about video games is you can do things you can't do in real life. You could jump or fly. You can fight things or hunt for things. You can even be an animal. With video games you can be anything you want to be.
So thats three reasons why video game are fun. Did you have to change your answer to the question that I asked in the opening. I have to go now, My brothers claiming he can beat my high score.

soccer
My hart is pumping faster than ever.Sweat dripping down my face.I'm getting ready to make the winning goal! I step three times backward,lift my leg, and SMACK!.......... the ball goes sailing through the air........GOAL! my team won!
have you ever loved the thrill or the suspense of soccer? Well I have! I think soccer is fun even if you are losing. The first reason i think soccer is an exciting sport is because you can slip,slide,kick,punt,catch,throw and run. You can even get to see other people play before the games and get a sneak peek of what you are up against! Dont worry, there are coaches, fans and referees to see if the other team is or you are cheating so you wont usually get hurt.(unlike me).
The second reason I think soccer is a great sport is it teaches you how to play fair and be a good sport. If a person is being mean yells,kicks,or is not playing fair,tell them to act like a good sport and they might even make a new friends. Also if you pass the ball and be cooperative you'll actully be a real teammate .
Last but not least, my third reason for my third reason for soccer being

Iron Maiden
The guitar's explosion awakens the crowd and the night life behind them.Bruce Dickinson hurdles over the amplifiers and the crowd erupts. I believe that Iron Maiden is the best metal band of all time and will always be.Iron Maiden is from Leyton in East London which is located in England.The members of the band are Steve Harris,Nicko Mcbrian,and Bruce Dickinson,Adrian Smith,and Dave Murray along with their chilling mascot Eddy The Head.There are countless reasons why I like Iron Maiden here are three.
I take pleasure in their music style.Iron Maiden will always be known as the great grandfathers of the New Wave of Brittish Heavy Metal.It was most popular during the 1980s but it actually started during the late 70s.The second reason is the lyrics they put in their songs they mainly sing about beasts,war,and mythology.
The second reason Iron Maiden is the best metal band of all time is they are astonishing in concert. In 2008 Iron Maiden got the award for the best live act in London. They also have a magnificent stage show.Life size robots, Fire, and flags are some things you may see on stage in concert.Overall their concerts are very entertaining.

Dancing
Caezio,releve,shasae,tour jatae, and pile. Have you ever heard any of these words before? Well, if you are not in dance then probably not. I love to dance so let me tell you why I think dancing is a great sport!
My first reason why I think dancing is a great sport is because it has been proven to help some people live healthier lifestyles. You learn not to give up since you are always being challenged to do even better. Dancing can help you express your emotions to. You also get a good amount of cardiovascular activity.
My second reason is that dancing is fun! You can be 5 or 65 and you can still dance! Your friends can dance with you. You might even get to choreograph a dance and present it to lots of people.
My last reason why dancing is great is that there are so many different types of dancing. You may try type of dancing and not like it but you can always try another. You can dance a solo, a group dance, or even compete with others. The music choices are another big part of dancing so each genre has different music. Either way, whatever you choose, I bet you'll have a blast!
" Elli, its time to go!" Oh well, it was nice talking to you about all the different reasons why dancing is great but it is time for me to go... dance!
Tackle Football
Tackle football is awesome. Its so cool in so many ways! Here are somethings that i like about tackle football.
Its pretty challenging because you have to get in shape, which is a drag. If your on the line for defense, which I am, you have to get through the o-line, which is hard, sometimes. Also if your on the o-line, which I am also in, you might have to block a big guy.
Its a very popular sport. People all over America watch it. I mean millions of people. A lot of people play it physically and virtually, like video games. There are tons of fans, like me and millions of other fans.
Its really fun because you get to play with friends. You get to be aggressive, which is awesome! You also get to be mean and have fun at the same time.
Thats why tackle football is awesome! CHRIS! Uh, oh, coach is having temper tantrum because I am talking to you and not practicing. It looks so cute. Now his face is res ha ha, man this is too good. Oh no, he broke his clipboard. I guess I have to go now, bye.
Soccer
You're running. The sun is glaring hot in the sky. Sweat is dripping down the sides of your face. You are taking a penalty kick. As you stop running you begin to take quick rapid breaths. You look for an open spot...BOOM! You kick the ball up the field and you take off running a again.This is the thrill of soccer. I think soccer is a great sport.
One reason I think soccer is a great sport is because you get plenty of exercise. You get exercise at practices when you work on ball skills and drills. During your games and practices you run.There is a tremendous amount running in soccer. Before practice or the game you have to warm up by stretching. Stretching is a good form of exercise and it is important to do before running so you don' pull a muscle.
Another example of why soccer is a great sport is you learn important character traits. One trait you learn is teamwork. Teamwork is used throughout life. If you don't use teamwork in soccer your team won't have a chance of winning. You learn not to be selfish. You have to let others play the game too. Another trait you learn is fairness. If you don't play fairly you get get into a hefty situation.
The next reason why I think soccer is a great sport is it's fun! You get to hang out and play the game with your friends. You also make lots of new friends when you play soccer. You can compete in tournaments like Shoot for the Moon or other tournaments. Soccer is a very exciting sport to play and watch.
Now maybe you can see why I think soccer is a great sport. Hey, maybe you should try it! I told you why I liked it , so maybe it sparked your interest. Maybe you'd enjoy playing it too! Tweeet! Green's kick off! Well I got to go to the field...Bye!

The next reason why I think soccer is a great sport is it's fun! You get to hang out and play the game with your friends. You also make lots of new friends when you play soccer. You can compete in tournaments like Shoot for the Moon or other tournaments. Soccer is a very exciting sport to play and watch.
Now maybe you can see why I think soccer is a great sport. Hey, maybe you should try it! I told you why I liked it , so maybe it sparked your interest. Maybe you'd enjoy playing it too! Tweeet! Green's kick off! Well I got to go to the field...Bye!
Cats are a great pet
Can you picture yourself better with dogs or cats? If you pick cats, I agree with you. Cats are a great pet.
One reason cats are a great pet is cats like to play with you. It helps them practice in case they get lost and have to hunt for food. When they play they get crazy. Sometimes after they take a nap they think its play time.
Another reason cats are a great pet is that they like to sleep with you. When they lay on top of you they keep you warm. They're happy when you let them. When they lay with you, they start purring and they go to sleep.
The last reason is that they can fit into small spaces. My cat can fit underneath our footstool! They can also fit behind TV stands and fit behind beds.
So I hope you see how cats are a great pet. Even if you like dogs instead, if your allergic to cats they're still a good pet!
Gymnastics
Number 136 sticks the landing for her double front on floor! If you thought that was thrilling, I'll tell you about how gymnastics can be both fun and challenging.
Gymnastics is a fun sport. I think that because you get to move from station to station. For example you can go to beam, bars, vault, floor and trampoline station. You also get to go to competitions where the pressure is on! It's also fun to dance to the music while doing your routine.
Another reason gymnastics can be fun but challenging is you have the opportunity to meet new people. I think this is true because many people join each month and that means you can meet more friends. Another reason gymnastics is fun is you work with people on your team and see there different personalities. Finally, you get to see people at meets and competitions. When you go to these meets you can see the others routines so it helps you know what the judges are looking for in advance.
Lastly, gymnastics is a really good form of exercise. This sport works all your muscles head to toe. You do about 20-30 minutes of stretching and strength training so you are for practices or meets. Plus, you are moving around so it keeps you active. My coaches always tell our team " what doesn't kill us makes us stronger".
Gymnastics is a sport you should try or at least go watch a meet. As you can see, gymnastics can be both fun and challenging. Well, I've got to go! It's time for me to get my ribbons!

Opinion Essay
Where are you going for Spring break? I'm going to Mexico where there's snorkeling in the ocean. Mexico is so much FUN!
One reason why Mexico is really fun is that there are lots of colors in Mexico that make it a beautiful environment. The blue water is really warm to play in and the stores have many different colors. Last but not least, everybody's clothes are really colorful which shows how they feel.
Another reason why I feel Mexico is fun is that there are lots of things you can do. There's snorkeling where you can see many multi-colored fish and coral. On our trip to Cancun, we even got to go swimming with barracuda! You could also go to Chichen Itza. That is a place where you can see ancient buildings and ruins that the Mayan people built.
The last reason i feel that Mexico is a great place to visit is because it's family friendly. You can visit many places with your family, and spend lots of time on the beaches just enjoying the sun and sand. When I got to jump with my family into a giant sinkhole that we swam in!
I would definitely recommend booking a vacation to Mexico. If I didn't love it so much I wouldn't be going back next year for Spring break.
Basketball
Do you love basketball? Well I do, When you swish a basket and win the game it gives you that feeling you get when you work hard. Once at a camp, I made a Buzzer Beater 3 to win the game. It was AMAZING!

Sports Are Great
Picture a scoreboard. Ten seconds left in the game. The opposing team is up by one point. You are dribbling down the court. Two seconds before the buzzer. You shoot. You score! You've won the game! That's just one great experience you could have while playing sports. In this instance, basketball. If you play any sport you know just how great they are.
One reason why sports are great is they get you active. You'll start moving around a lot more. You'll be outside more often which will not only make you happy but you parents too. It'll get you off the couch and make you run around. You will have lots of practices which will improve your game when you're out there on game day. Your gameplay will be fantastic. Not only will sports get you outside to practice, but might make some new friends.
When you're playing sports you will most likely be on a team. When you're on a team you might notice somebody that's pretty nice. You would also see somebody that enjoys that sports just as much as you do. You might even see somebody that you go to school with and now you can talk to him since he is on your team. You could hang out with all your friends and be a lot happier!
Not just those two reasons but another one is it helps you boost your concentration! When your playing a sport, you probably need to concentrate on where your team is and what they are doing. You will want to know where your team is and what they are doing. Are they about to score? What is most likely the play they will try to make next? You also need to concentrate on where the ball is and what you would do with it if you get it. Lastly, you would need to know the rules. You don' want to go out onto the fields not knowing what will happen if you do this or this. That would be very bad!
Now that you know some cool reasons to play sports, you might try them too. All you need to do is sign up! Sports are just a great way to have fun. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
BASEBALL
Baseball is the best sport and it is addictive to play and watch. I especially like watching the Little League Word Series and using my astuteness to play.
Baseball is an enjoyable activity. There are 9 different positions and everybody gets to hit the ball. Some people play for fun and some people take it seriously. When you play in the field, you can get people out and make your catches blissful.
I believe being the catcher is the best position, because you get the baseball every time and stay active. It is also thrilling to throw people out and keep the opposing team from scoring at home plate.
Baseball has renowned athletes. They have vast skills. They run fast, hit the ball great distances, and can catch or stop almost any ball. They use great strategies and get paid heaps of money. Unfortunately some players use drugs to enhance their performance.
Baseball is the best sport based on some of the reasons that I have addressed above. When people think of America, they think of baseball and hotdogs. Baseball is often considered Americas favorite pastime. There is nothing like being at a ball park when your favorite team hits a GRAND SLAM!
Basketball Taylor H.
Would you like to know what the best sport is? Then picture kids running up and down the court. Have you figured it out yet? The wort "court" should have helped. It is basketball.
Basketball is a heart racing game. You have to run a lot. Trust me I have been playing for 4 to 6 years of basketball. You will run laps at every practice. Run, run every week run, run, run. Hope you get the picture. Hope that helps.
Next basketball teaches you coordination. You have to pass the ball while running up and down the court. If you don't have good foot work you will be in a casket soon or you will need to take dance lessons. If you don't have okay balance you will learn to live with it.
Last but not least it is fun You get to make new friends. Play with old or present friends. You can beat a really good team or go to championships. Plus you can just do it for the fun of it. That is my favorite part, just to do it for fun. The there is the win from s ior a win from a better team that you will respect.
We won! Sweaty kids are running off the court after a great victory. Then there are the sweaty ones that walk off the court because of a harsh loss. We run because of the awesome victory duh you knew that! That is why basketball is such a great sport! Now of to get ice cream or a sugary treat for another awesome victory!
Football is a Heart Pounding Sport
Your team's down by six, there's one second left, and your team is on the one yard line. IMAGINE THAT! This is why I think football is a heart pounding sport. Now I'm going to tell you why I think football is a heart pounding sport. Now I'm going to tell you three reasons why i think football is a heart pounding sport.
One reason I think football is a heartpounding sport is that there are "lots of awesome moments." The reason i'm saying this is because getting a long run is awesome and fun to watch. Another theory of why I'm saying this is what if you made an interception?! How cool would that be!? Another explanation of why I'm saying this is when you get a fumble recovery, just imagine a dog pile on you, the referees lowing their whistles you pop up screaming holding the ball up in the air. How awesome can it get?!
The second reason why I think football is a heart pounding sport is that it takes teamwork. It can sometimes be hard to be a team player. That's why you have drill instructing coaches. Yah, I'm taling about those ones that yell in tour face telling you to try harder. One more reasn why it tiakes teamwork is when one person fails everyone fails. Let's say your "drill instructing coach" has told you to run around the football field in 5 minutes. Then your coach says "if you're not here in 5 minutes there will be consequences." Your whole team gets back except for one kid. Next thing you know you're running again. Oh yah, it's a teamsport. You are all in it together.

Now I'm going to tell you one final reason why football is a heart pounding sport. It's a blast! Think about it. You or your team is running for a touchdown! Everyone's jumping on each other screaming and you are smiling because you did it. Football is a blast when you make a tackle in the backfield. That's another reason why you are smiling. It's also fun when you catch a touchdown pass. Boy, that would be fun! Also catching a deep pass would be quite fun!
So the next time you flip on the T.V. and your team's down by six with a few seconds left with the ball, keep your eyes o[en because things are about to get exciting!
how australians are weird
Have you ever want to study another country's culture? I did. So, i did some research on Australians, and i found that they were a lot different than us. For example there money is different than ours. There food is very disgusting they also have the weirdest clothes. That is why i think Australians.
Does anybody know what Australians eat for breakfast?
Snowboarding
I love snowboarding, what about you? Well, let's talk about snowboarding like how it is fun and how you need balance, Let's not forget about landing! I hope you have fun!
Did you know if you don't have balance you will fall every time? Trust me, I know! It is like when I first started snowboarding, I fell a lot and it isn't fun. You also can break your neck so that's why balance is so important in snowboarding!
Don't get scared. Let's have some fun. Everyone likes fun! In snowboarding you can have fun going fast, getting stuck in drifts, and one of the most fun parts about snowboarding is doing the triks! You should try some basic tricks.
The best part, the dangerous stuff, is like landing wrong and breaking something like i did two years ago. I went off a ramp and twisted my ankle wasn't fun. It hurt and this year I broke a binding and now I have to get new ones.
Well that's all i have to say about snowboarding. I had fun telling you about it. What about you?

most people should have pets
Picture yourself with a pet, a dog, cat, rabbit, any pet. do you ever wonder what it would be like if most people had pets? I love having pets, and I think most people would too.
You could choose any animal. Your options are out of hundreds of animals. At the pet store, there are guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and much more. There are pets that are small, big, furry, and fuzzy. If you are allergic the shedding animals, you could get a pet that doesn't shed. It can always be a choice of animal you want. There is a portion of animals with different maintenance. This can help certain people.
Animals, in my opinion, are adorable. If you get a puppy when they are almost first born, they have a fresh smell on them and a teddy bear look. Once they are older, if they have long fur, you can mess with it. Some animals have a teddy bear or stuffed animal look to them. Some animals have fur or scales. It depends on what you want. If you choose to get a small pet, you can carry them around like a baby.
Pets are very loving creatures. Some animals can cheer you up when you're sad. With my dog if you her a small or huge treat she will be your friend forever. Usually dogs like to lick people's noses. To dogs it means they love you or they want something. If they are small, you can sleep or hold them for a log time, before they get jumpy.
When I come home every day I am so happy to see my pets. I love holding both of them and playing with my dog and rabbit. These were the reasons why I think most people should have pets.
