"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

School athletics are important to me because sports come with many lessons and qualities along with academic motivation. I do think that it prepares young people for life because as I said before, it teaches a student a lesson, and not just for basketball, but for life and its hardships it throws at you. For Example, It teaches discipline because your coach has a higher authority that the athlete and deserves respect. Additionally, it teaches patience because in order to learn and play well an athlete needs patience. Also, it teaches teamwork. This is so because without a team nothing will succeed. As a result athletics are important in a young person’s life because of the lessons and ethnics taught.

Persuading You to Read a Blog

Reading someone’s blog in general is very important. This is so because they put so much effort in making a post every day, or in this case completing an assignment. Now adding to that fact an incoming freshmen is just doing what they are being told and if they see that people are acknowledging their work and actually using it as a social network they will begin viewing things differently.

What It Means To Be A Sophmore

It takes much responsibility to be a sophomore. This means that a student already has experience and should be a couple steps higher than freshmen that just came from middle school. This is so because the student’s mentality should have matured knowing that in high school there is no messing around. It is okay to have fun but overall academics is the main focus. Another responsibility of a sophomore is to be a role model to the freshmen and look up to the juniors. That is what it takes to be a sophomore in high school today.
