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!!!
