"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

Athletics in school are important to me because it keeps you in shape and also if you want to go pro in a sport in the future as a career, it will be easier because you are experienced. It prepares for young people in life a lot. It mostly depends who you’re and what you want to do. For example, especially for boys they would want to be a Basketball player, Football player, and or Baseball player. Playing sports in high school will prepare you and automatically you’re good enough to play pro. Additionally, people get injuries over injuries and its hard to stick what you want to do, there are risk. It is important to me, as a female. If I did not have my dream jobs I could even go pro in Softball and Volleyball, it just depends. I could play in college and everything. It has many good things about athletics as a young person in life, especially in the future.

Persuading You to Read a Blog

My dear classmates, class of 2013. Not a lot of people read freshman blogs. Why? Maybe because we find that reading our classmates blog- because we are sophomores, that our blog is more amusing than the freshman. Who knows? Commenting on the freshman blogs will help them a lot with their future. They will start learning how to use complete sentences and also be more engage into the world of writing on web. Comment more on freshman blogs. Our criticism towards what we comment on their blog about what they have posted, will make them have more of a clearer mind of what to fix next time. Sooner or later the more we do that; they will start to see the mistakes in their writing and to also encourage them to keep writing and doing their assignments also. It is going to be very effective to the freshman to see that we have taken our time to read and comment on their blog post. So please, comment on the freshman blogs and encourage them to keep doing better. They really appreciate it even if it does not show.

Sophomore Paragraph

To me, being a sophomore is a little lame. You're in the middle of High school and you are the one who does not get that much attention at all. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors get the most attention. To me, it also means we are one step closer to being juniors and I cannot wait for that time. I am tired of being a sophomore.

SPA Poem

You would think we would have love between us all
But how could there be when there are no trust?
It’s not realize that opportunities was knocking at our door
they won’t get a job but just do chores
even before it was the one, mostly ignored

We have exits and entrances
take the chances
do not just take glances

Her life passed her by
and you know she didn’t even try?
Time will creep up on you
and don’t you boo,
because you did not make it through
