Show Love

I like the Mary J. Blige song, "Show Love." It's good advice, don't you think? When we show people we love them, then we make them feel happy and we make ourselves feel good, too. I show my family and friends that I care about them by hugging them, smiling at them, helping them, and spending time with them.




How do you show love?

Some Thoughts about School




My Favorite and Least Favorite Subjects

When I was a student, my favorite subject in school was English, or Language Arts. I liked that class because I loved reading stories. In fact, I still read a lot in my free time. I read websites, novels, news, and sometimes poetry. 


My least favorite subject in school was Physical Education. I didn't like it because I felt like I wasn't very good at the games we played. Also, we had to run a mile every Tuesday and Thursday. Most of the time, we ran outside, whether it was cold or not. I didn't think that was fair. It might surprise you, but know I enjoy running! I have run four half-marathon races, which are 13 miles long. I used to think running one mile was terrible, but now it's easy for me.

A Good Teacher

In my opinion, a good teacher is patient, friendly, smart, and strict. I had many good teachers, but one who really changed my life was Mike Mitchell. When I was in Mr. Mitchell's English class, I always had fun. Even though I was learning, and doing some difficult work, he made the time go quickly. Mr. Mitchell made me feel smart. He gave me the idea to be a teacher so that I could do the same thing for students. What do you think makes a good teacher?
