Family

Family is probably the most important thing in Life. They are the only people who are always there for you and will love you no matter what you do. Your family will always give you guidance and support as well. They will never want to put limits on you or want to see you fail. They will help you do anything to succeed. You won't always be able to depend on your friends. But your family will make time for you, especially when you are down in the dumps. As long as you are close with your family you will always have a place to stay, food supplied, and love.

Here's a cinquain poem about family

Family

loving, caring

always there for you

wants you to be happy

Friends

This is the family song. Its a good song because it shows that there are all sorts of different families but they all love and care for each other the same.

Pets

My pets have always been there for me.They are basically my best friends and i love them. They are so loyal and silly and just fun to be around. seeing all their different personalities makes me laugh because i find it so strangely funny. So i wrote a little poem about them.

My dog's name is Togo
He bounces around like a pogo stick
he thinks he is very slick
When he hunts for his food
him and and a bunny will get in a feud.
My other dog Starr
is a superstar
always on patrol
like shes looking for a troll.
I have a lizard named Izzy
but he's usually not very busy
he likes to bask in the sun
which doesn't seem too fun.

I actually have more animals than just those three. I have 7 or 8 cats and 2 birds. I have so many cats because my family rescues cats from the pound and from the streets so we take them in and find them a home. We made their own cat house because it would be very messy to keep them all in the house. We alos had 3 birds; a mom, a dad, and their baby. But the mom  died this spring giving birth to another baby bird. So we only have 2 now. It was a really sad thing because the baby bird has been acting so sad and different since after that. Animals really do have feelings and that's why its good to have pets. They need you and you need them. You will always have a friend to talk to or just hangout with if you have a pet. They are perfect.

Set Goals

We all seek success, and we know that nothing ever comes easy. In order to achieve the success we spend our lives chasing, we first need to define our goals. Once that is done, it’s time to start thinking about how to accomplish them. Life can be very stressful and merciless sometimes. Everyone struggles at some point and feels like giving up. But you gotta keep going because life goes on. A way that helps you move forward and not give up is to set goals. When you set goals it gives everything you are doing a reason and motivation. The feeling of reaching your goal is one of the greatest feelings in the world. But you have to set your goals high because you can do it. Just because something seems hard doesn't mean it's impossible! Just like a Notre Dame shirt i have that says "Impossible is Nothing". I think thats a really cool statement.

Accomplish one goal, then set the bar higher. Sometimes, we have a tendency to lie to ourselves. It happens all the time, usually when we do something we don’t feel like doing, or are trying to find an excuse as to why we did not succeed.

Sports

Sports are an important part of my life.  Without sports life would be so empty. People don't really appreciate sports that much because not everyone likes them that much. But even those people would feel a little empty without them. Sports give people something to do and keeps us in shape. But they also inspire people to strive to be there best that they can be everyday. They provide hope for some of those kids growing up with not much to live for.

^ this is a video why sports are important in helping kids get through hard times. sports matter.

Sports are also important for society because they teach. We learn from all sports but mainly the Olympics that people from other countries are really no different than us. They wanna strive to be their best just like us. You also learn a lot from other cultures by watching sports. Sports also keep kids off the street. This usually isn't a problem in some places but there are a lot of places where kids go to the streets and get into bad stuff. And sports give kids a reason to stay off the streets and put there all into something while having fun. And it also keeps people in shape, which is a huge problem in the US. Every kid should play sports while growing up, or at least try them because they are very good for your well being.

Surviving High School

High School is something every kid has to go through. Its a part of LIFE. But its very important and we have to do it. Its hard but sometimes it can be fun. especially if you know how to survive it. as a kid I watched the show Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. That was a really funny show that actually made some good points. But a point that was brought up more often then not was having friends there for you always. Friends are the best people on Earth, well besides family. They are always there for you and make life fun.
