Are Proud of Your Country?

PATRIOTS PEN ESSAY
Are you proud of your country?I know I am.All the volunteers that protect our city,state and even country.Some people help out after a divesting things that happen.

Education:The education that us kids get is very good or even sometimes hard.There are a lot of teachers in the world that went to collage knowing that in there future they would want to  help other children.The teachers are hoping that they do good in there class or classes but if they are not doing good in that specific subject they will give up there personal time to sit down and explain something to the student.So f you want to help teach kids you should look into becoming a teacher or helper.
 Volunteer:If you you want to help out in the town or even your country you should volunteer  for a charity,or just ask someone if they need or would like help.Even if it`s just making dinner for someone or helping out around the house..Want to help out around town then you should! Even if it`s just picking up garbage at the park it`s still helping someone, want to know who - the animals.When you are a firefighter you help our town by getting fires out of buildings or even houses and cars.When you are a police officer you protect our town by keeping our roads safe and the people in our town.
Military:When you are in the military you are helping out the whole country because you would go to another country and fight for our country or might even go and help out a country your not even from.You will leave lots of friends and family and you don`t know if you will get hurt or might not even come back.
So after reading this I hope you will go out in your neighborhood and pick up some trash so if people come visit here they will want to come back,so be proud of your country and keep it clean.

Halloween

  Do you like to trick-or-treat ,and carve pumpkins? Then here`s were it began.The name jack-o-lantern comes from an Irish Folk tale about a man named Stingy Jack.The American tradition of trick-or-treating dates back to the early souls day parades in England.Poor citizens would beg for food so people gave them "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the families dead relatives.
  Do you have some things that bother you about Halloween?I sure do , here they are.When you are home and someone knocks on the door and says " trick-or-treat" you should kindly stop whatever you are doing and give the little kid some candy.So don`t make them stand there forever and give them no candy.When you are out with your friends on Halloween night trick-or-treating and you come to a house with a bowl on the steps and it says take 1 piece just take one don`t think your cool by taking the whole bowl.
   I LOVE HALLOWEEN!Every year for Halloween I like to dress up and I hope you do too.Last year I was a  butterfly and this year I am a bee.All of my friends and I love dress up and go trick-or-treating.I like to do this because you can get lots , and lots of candy.So when you go out on Halloween night get some really good candy and eat it all up.

Pet Peeve



Stopping? Just Go!

   Looking back at last week there was a giant stop in the middle of the pool.The coach was yelling at us like she was training an animal or something."Please just swim and don`t stop in the middle of the pool".

Just Go!!
Introduction: All the swimmers in the fastest lane love to stop in the middle of the pool but it`s not safe at all.
Why:This is very annoying and dangerous because in order to keep swimming you will need to stop and go past them and that will make you stop.
How: This is dangerous because you can get kicked in the face and get a broken nose or a bloody nose.
Experience:Just last week  in warm-up and our coach made us do a 500 free which is 20 laps while the other kids were only doing 4-8 laps.Usually we would do a 2 200 free drill,1 200 im drill and 2 100 stroke drill, nut then we had to do all that and 20 more laps.
Closing:So if you don`t want to do a 500 free don`t stop in the middle of the pool.

Fixing Your Goggles
Introduction: I understand that you need to fix your goggles because there`s  either  water in them or they fog up and you can`t see them but you should really just fix them at a wall.
Why:This really annoys me because you won`t be able to swim as fast as you can if you are worrying if someone is in the middle of the pool,even though I did do this last week I made sure that no one was right by behind me before I stopped.
How:This is annoying because you need to watch were your swimming and that will make you swim a lot slower.
Experience:Yesterday at swim swim practice we had to do 8 laps and in the first lap my goggles were so foggy I couldn't see anything but I didn`t stop in the middle I stopped at the wall.
Closing:Just a little advice for you and other swimmers to do all things at the wall and not the middle of the pool.

Injuries Can Happen
Introduction:You think swimming is a sport that you can`t get hurt , but you could hit your head on the wall or bottom of the pool ,you could even just slip on the pool deck and break your arm or leg.
Why:This annoys me because when you hurt your finger or toe on the lane line you stop but if it`s not that bad  you could wait till you get on the wall.
How:This annoys me because if I get hurt I wait till I get to the wall so if i can wait then everybody else should be able to wait till they get to the wall too.
Experience:Just last week I jammed my finger in the lane line and it hurt really bad but I was able to swim back to the wall.
Closing:So if you get hurt try your hardest to make it back to the wall.
Wrapping Up
  The stopping in the middle of the pool needs to stop and it will stop here.Fixing your goggles,,passing people,talking to friends all can and will need to happen at the wall not the middle of the pool.If you get hurt you can stop because you can need medical attention you might need to stop in the middle of the pool.So I hope after you read this you will think twice before you stop in the middle of the pool.

Rasing Money For Cancer :D

    Have you or anyone you or anyone you know ever have cancer,because I know I have known someone that had cancer and they survived the surgery and their treatment?There are a lot of foundations that raise money for cancer and a very big one is C.A.R.E.All the money they raise at walks or other organization that might have raised money for it all go to cancer research.
rib4.gif - 3.5 K    In my school we were raising money for this foundation and we raise a  lot of money.Everyday at lunch we would be able to purchase a sling bag,pencils,or bracelets and all the money that we raised from that went to C.A.R.E . The teachers made a bet with us that if we raised $1,000 or more that some of them would die there hair pink and shave their heads.So when we arrived at school this morning their was a lot of the female staff members had pink hair.When we were in 7 period there were some of the male teachers getting their hair shaved in the gym.So When you see people asking for money you should stop and give them some money even if it`s one penny every bit counts.

My Day As a Cheerleader

 The lights of the football field they are so bright. I have never seen a football  field this big.The first time I stepped out on to that field for practice it was so amazing.The the coach yelling at us making us run and cheer and do so many new things I have never heard about.The clanking of the football players hitting against each other was so loud.The feeling of that brand new puffy terf was so amazing on your feet it felt like you were walking on a giant cloud.  
   The very first game I have ever cheered for that was going to be on TV. The flashing lights of the people taking pictures so many of them.It`s really scary being down on the field everybody looking at you saying she is horrible or wow she is amazing.OMG  the first touchdown of the season WOOHOO GO TEAM During half time we all go into the center of the field and do a dance for the football players having such a good first 2 quarters.I really hope they score a lot of runs and win the game.At the end of the day the team won 4-0.I loved my first game today and will do it again.

Special Peacemaker Post

The Quote


The quote , "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does," really stood out to me because you might think oh I did something wrong and I`m going to get away with it but your not because someone is always watching , and they will remember what you did wrong. If you did something good like helping someone or helping out around the house your parents might remember what you did and reward you.

Other Quote from Today:
1."Nobody can do everything ,but everyone can do something."
2."Life`s most urgent question is: What are you doing for others ?"
3."If you have to whine and complain about something,then you have time to do something about it."
4."You must be the change you want to see in the world."


These quotes demonstrate peace because the people who said these quotes show peace by asking you what an you do for others and also do something if have a problem and don`t complain.
