My home is full of laughter
My home is full of sorrow
My home is full of Gatorade
My home is where I get aid
My home is where all of my friends are joined together by one thing, the desire to win
Some people call it the football field, but I call it home.

Don't Be Sobby Have a Hobby
Opinion essay

Don’t be sobby have a hobby!
Do you have an after school hobby? If you don’t you should get one.
They are a great benefit for you. You have been bored in your life
more than once. It’s agonizing sitting there wondering what am I
going to do today. Well what are you wanting for, Come on and get
energized! Here is why you need a after school hobby.
One reason is it totally passes time. You know when you come
After school, and you are bored, then you do your homework. Now you
Have the rest of the day. What do you do? Here is a tip. “Don’t be
bored.” By Poni Lejukole. “Read It!” Just kidding, but really. I do some
giant frisbee with friends and before I knew it, it’s dinner time! Try to
use it wisely.
Numero dos reason is it stops you from watching too much T.V.
Everybody loves watching T.V! Not always is it good for you. It’s
actually bad to watch all day. My friends and I were glued to the T.V.
one day. After that our eyes were strained. We all felt lazy. Not a very
good hobby to me. Don’t ever have that feeling.
Last one. It keeps you fit. I usually play soduku after school,
Then some basketball and frisbe. It keeps me healthy and strong. It’s
good to avoid sitting and eating. Doing something outside is good for
you. Like they say ”You need an hour of exercise a day.” So why not stay
fit have fun.
Those are my reasons why kids need after school hobbies. You
might think I don’t need that. I just like doing my homework. This is
still a good thing to do. You might go jogging, stretching, even
basketball, Every kid gets bored so why not have a after school hobby.
It would be a fun time for you and your friends so get moving!

Nothing But School
Opinion Essay

NOTHING BUT SCHOOL
Do you think that school takes up too much time of the day, week, month, or year? Picture school without Mondays and Fridays, without waking up at six in the morning. Kids need to enjoy being a kid, not locked up in a building for seven hours.
The seconds that tick by in school are why a lot of people have dark rain clouds above their heads. The days linger on like sitting in a chair, in a dark room for five hours. Kids need an extra day to get ready for school because they play hard outside all weekend and get really tired. Then they have to wake up three hours before they want to.
Homework is one of the worst parts of school. When teachers give out homework they are mostly saying we are expanding school. If teachers want to give out homework then why don’t they just make school seven days a week and save the paper for better times.
School also takes a great amount of energy. You have to think and perform at your highest, but that doesn’t happen when you are tired and sore. A lot of kids put so much effort into things that they have to do in school and then they waste effort doing things that don’t help them become a better student. School is something that can’t be skipped in life and you can’t have valuable time be wasted on things that won’t help you.
The good things that come out of school are that you get smarter and learn more things then you would’ve if you didn’t go to school. Sometimes school can be a place where you get headaches and migraines with all the stuff that gets forced into you all day at school.
