Why Play Basketball??

     Do you play basketball?  Well if you don't you should really reconsider it.  Basketball is so much fun, because you get a chance to be aggressive to the opposing team.  You also get to be with friends and have fun while playing it.  Plus, you are very active running up and down the court playing.    So you could say that basketball is a very active sport!  So be active and play basketball; it is so much fun!

Michael Jordan

     Well, now I am back to tell you a little bit about Michael Jordan and his ability on the basketball court.  Michael Jordan played basketball for the Chicago Bulls.  He was one of the best players on the team.  He was also very competitive and showed leadership toward his teammates.   Michael also had a very positive attitude, nothing would ever get him down when he was on the court.


     Even though he is a famous athlete, he still does a lot of good things off of the basketball court.  Michael has given countless things to many different charities including the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of America, the UNCF College Fund, and to the Olympics.  Besides playing basketball Micheal is known for saving other peoples lives'. Once there was a kid named Fargas, a boy, who needed a liver to live.  So Jordan traveled around the world to find a liver so that boy could live.  So what I'm trying to express here is: an athlete can still be an athlete, but can also do good stuff off of the court.  He has a stupendous personality! 

Samantha And The Yucky Brocoli Trees

     Once upon a time there was a girl named Samantha.  She lived in a small town with her family.  She loved her family dearly, but she had one problem with her mom.  Her mom made broccoli three times a week!  Samantha absolutely hated broccoli!

     "Everyone come and sit down for supper!" announced Samantha's mom just as Samantha barged into the kitchen.
       "What's for supper, Mom?" questioned Samantha
       "Your favorite meal Samantha...  we're having steamed broccoli!" exclaimed Samantha's mom.
       "Yuck mom.... you know I absolutely, positively hate broccoli!  This is my least favorite meal," Samantha said with anger.
      The whole family sat down and started to eat their delicious broccoli (well they thought it was delicious, unlike Samantha).  Everyone was finished up, and Samantha hadn't even touched her plate.

      "Mom, why do I have to eat this?  It feels like I'm eating trees!" shouted Samantha with fierce.
      "Samantha I think you're watching too much TV!" said Samantha's mom.
       "I'm not eating this nasty stuff.  You can't feed me trees, Mom."
       "Why does it feel like you're eating trees?" asked Samantha's mom.
       "Why?  There are a million reasons why.  Broccoli is green, trees are green too.  Trees have a top that is bushy, broccoli has a top that is bushy too!  This is why I'm not eating this gross stuff!" Samantha exclaimed with anger.
       "Just please try your broccoli," begged Samantha's mom.
       "Fine!  I will try one little piece," said Samantha.

      Samantha tried her broccoli, and it turned out she loved it! So now she asks her mom to make it every week!                      
 

How I Want To Be Remembered

     How do I want to be remembered at the end of sixth grade?  Well I want to be remembered as the athletic one.  The one who loves playing sports.  The active girl in the group.  I want to be remembered as the caring one.  Or the smart one who thinks outside the box.  I want to be known as the one who walks in the room every day with a smile on her face.  The one who always makes people feel better.  I want to be brought to mind by someone else as the one who accomplished everything.  Well that's how I want to be remembered at the end of sixth grade!:)
