Reflection: Seventh Grade

When I first arrived in seventh grade to be so fun and full of social time and friends. Oh my God was I ever wrong. I soon realized that nothing was very fun and most of my old friends had turned into jerks. School consumed my life and the little free time I had there was nothing to do with it. By October my life was pretty boring. School was getting so much harder. Eventually I figured out that school stunk.

In seventh grade I learned to move away from fair-weather friends, hand out with people you, trust, like and enjoy being with. Be careful what you buy in the lunch line, listen and do your work and most of all don’t expect help, attention, or praise from anyone. As this year comes to a close I just want to go back to school and start over. My advice is that most importantly you should be careful who you are friends with because they may change and if they do sooner or later they wont be your friends any more.

Poem

We are Plooters
We dont care
We make messes
Everywhere
We strip forests
Bare of trees
We dump garbage
In the seas

We are Plooters
We enjoy
Finding beauty
To destroy
We intrude
Where creatures thrive
Soon there’s a little
Left alive

Underwater
Underground
Nothings safe
When we’re around
We spew poisons
In the air
We are Plooters
We dont care

Austin

Austin is pretty cool not New York cool but pretty cool. There are so many fun things to do and see, great schools, and sports of all kind ranging from pro and college to basketball and baseball. In all Austin is a great place to live.

Austin is a great place to live because of the amazing education. In Austin there are so many good school districts like Eanes, Lake Travis, and Driping Springs (Eanes is the best). I personally am in the Eanes ISD which is one of the best school districts in Texas. Eanes is good at academics as well as athletics. Eanes is the best. Austin is a great place to not only live but go to school to.

And of coarse Austin is also awesome because of the sports here. There are so many sports of all kind in Austin. Austin holds teams like the Texas Stars American Hockey League team, the Austin Toros NBA D-League team to the San Antonio Spurs, and the Round Rock Express who play in the famous Dell Diamond minor league team to the Texas Rangers. But you can’t forget the Texas Longhorns Austin’s very own Division I NCAA college. In past years they have had top ranked Basketball, Football, Baseball and many other great sports teams. If you like sports Austin has got you covered. So much fun all year long.

Austin is such a fun and great place to live with all the commoditys anyone could ever want. Sports and school and everything inbetween there’s no place like the heart of Texas.

Why Airports Are Essential By: Jacob And Andrew

Taking you to an abundance of places far and wide, and providing you comfort that cannot be matched. Wow! Airplanes really are essential!

First off, not only can airplanes take you to far away places, they take you there fast too, real fast. Especially compared to boats and trains for example, if you were to travel by boat to Russia so that you could see the Olympics, it would take weeks-maybe even a month. However if you traveled by plane you would reach Russia in around 12 hours. So not only do airplanes take you to places far away, but they are also the best choice in many ways.

Another reason that makes airplanes essential is the best part of an airplane, the first class seats. First class makes it all the more enjoyable! It’s like a whole other story! First class has great air conditioning, tasty refreshments, comfy chairs, and if you’re lucky complementary warm towelettes. It’s less of an airplane and more of a palace in the sky.

The point is that airplanes are essential. So you don’t have to try everything fun or every refreshment, and it doesn’t matter wether you’re in 1st class or worst class. Airplanes can take you to places far away and can keep you comfortable aswell.
