My three favorite breeds of dogs.

My three favorite breeds of dogs are pit bulls, french bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Firstly, I like pit bulls. The main reason I like them is because they have a strong figure. Since they have a strong body they make great protection dogs. Unlike some people think, pit bulls can be really cuddly and emotional dogs. Another dog that I like are french bulldogs. Since their hair is short, frenchies require minimal grooming making them a great indoor pet. They are friendly which makes them great with kids. On top of it all, they are small so they can’t really hurt kids while playing. Lastly, I love golden retrievers. Golden retrievers are energetic but also can be calm. They are very intelligent even though sometimes they might act like toddlers. My favorite aspect about them is that they will always make sure your house has zero crumbs on the ground for no more than one second. In conclusion, my three favorite breeds of dogs are pit bulls, french bulldogs, and golden retrievers.

Private vs. Public

Have you noticed that your child or children are doing exceedingly well in school? Do they go to a private school? Research shows that private schools are better than public schools. The number one reason for that is because of more individualized education. Another main reason is the more significant challenging opportunities students are getting. Finally, parents have more involvement in their child’s education.

My first reason why private schools are better is because of individualized education. Teachers and other helpers can find ways to help you improve in the best way that you can. That way you can be successful in your work. Also, if it is a smaller class, you have to be more engaged in what you are learning because teachers can tell more easily when you are not.

Secondly, you can have more challenging opportunities that help you grow. When you have problems you do not know how to solve, you can learn how to, and advance your knowledge on that topic. Additionally, you can learn more about yourself by the way you learn. You can help your mind to grow. Dr. Papp says, “It may create new connections between brain cells by changing the balance of available neurotransmitters and changing how connections are made.” 

Lastly, parents can be more involved in their child’s education. If parents know what their child is doing in school, they can learn how to help. That way, kids can have help at home because the parents know and understand how to assist. It is also common to see a better child’s performance if the parents are helping out. This could happen academically or through a change in attitude. Of course, there are other ways, but those are the two that mostly show.

In conclusion, private schools are better than public schools because of more individualized education, more challenging opportunities, and more parental involvement. Parents, these are important things to take into consideration. Kids, try your best in everything you do. Go and challenge yourself with school! You could surprise yourself!

It’s Time to go to School!

What time do you get up for school? For some, it could be 6:00 am or 7:00 am. Whatever time you go to bed or get up for school can affect how tired you are. That is why I think school should start at 10:00 am. First of all, students and teachers can wake up later. If school started at 10:00 am then it would end at 5:00 pm. Then, there would be extracurriculars after 5:00 pm and we would all turn into night owls eating at 8:00 pm. That way everyone will be more awake and teachers will save their money for something more important than coffee, in the mornings. Another reason is that students will be able to pay more attention in the morning because of their extra sleep. Imagine this, you are the principal of Morrison Zion and you are walking to the fifth and sixth grade room. You open the door only to find that all the kids are taking notes and paying attention to Mr. Geidel. You are shocked and wonder how this could be? Then, you remember your former student, Kiley Hassemer, who wrote a persuasive paragraph, in 2022, giving reasons for why school should start at 10:00 am.  Anyway, my final reason why school should start at 10:00 am is that kids and teachers will have a more energized day. An average human will go to bed around 11:00 pm and wake up around 7:20 am. If people keep going to bed at their normal time but get to sleep in till 8:00 am or 9:00 am, that extra one to two hours could give them more fuel. In conclusion, I think school should start at 10:00 am because students and teachers can wake up later, students will be able to pay more attention, and kids and teachers will be more energized. Let yourself get some sleep!

The Hunting Hobby

We all have some sort of hobby. It may be playing a sport, kitting, or playing an instrument, but for me, it is hunting. You should try hunting. My three reasons are that you get food from the animal you shot, you get to be outside getting fresh air, and it can improve your strength and aim.

First of all, you get food from the animal you shot. Food is what allows your body to move. Without it, you lose energy. Also, you are getting the nutrients that are important to your health through juicy venison.

Secondly, you get to be outside and get fresh air. Like food, fresh air is also good for your body. It can help clean your lungs of bacteria or germs. It may also reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and lung cancer. You are getting the oxygen your body needs to be healthy.

Lastly, hunting can improve your strength and aim. It is good to have enough power to hold the gun still when you pull the trigger. If you aren’t strong enough to keep it in place, you could flinch and miss the target. Also, it depends on the type of gun you are using. For some guns, you might have to line the points together. However, for others, you might have to look through a scope at the area you need to shoot.

In conclusion, you should try hunting because you get food from the animal you shoot, you get to be outside getting fresh air, and it can improve your strength and aim. It may not be for you. However, if you are interested in hunting, I recommend learning about hunter safety and giving it a shot!

Crusty, Musty, and Dusty!

Do you feel like Cinderella? Do you have a least favorite chore? Well, my least favorite chore is dusting. My reasons are that I don’t enjoy moving everything around, and I don’t like that Mom inspects everything that I “didn’t” dust.

My first reason is having to move everything around. I’m not too fond of it because it takes time, I don’t enjoy having to place everything back, and I have to dust the things that were on top of the thing I wiped clean so the dust doesn’t spread. My second reason is that I don’t like to see dust on the thing I just cleaned. I question why I cleaned it if there’s going to be dust on it anyway. It lands on every surface and it bothers me when I see dust because then I don’t think I collected all of it. Lastly, I don’t enjoy that Mom goes over everything and makes me reclean everything that I “didn’t” dust. Sometimes, I miss places but most of the time it’s just because dust lands there afterward or the rag did not clean it to be spick and span. I also tried my best to get as much dust as possible even though it will never be perfect.

In conclusion, my least favorite chore is dusting because I don’t like moving everything around, seeing dust after I just whipped it clean, and I don’t like that Mom inspects everything that I dusted. Maybe one day I won’t feel like Cinderella.

What Is Your Favorite Meal?

My favorite meal is made of chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, and potato chips. One reason I like the meal is because of the chicken nuggets. The outside is crunchy yet not too crunchy but then the chicken on the inside is tender and juicy. I like to dip them in barbeque sauce to add a sweet and tangy flavor to them. Secondly, it is because of the mac and cheese. The cheese can be rich with flavor and depending on what kind you have, it could also be stringy. It is so enjoyable to have the ricotta reach from your plate all the way to your mouth! Also, you could add some bread crumbs for added flavor and/or texture. Lastly, when you add the loud crunch and saltiness of some plain potato chips, it makes the meal come together. You cannot go wrong with a meal that is crunchy, cheesy, and salty! All-in-all my favorite meal to have is chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, with some salty potato chips on the side.
