What is a Player?

A player is one who doesn't give up at the sight of defeat,  
But learns from their mistakes and puts them beneath.
A player is one who doesn't give up at the sound of the buzzer,
Always giving what they have from one side of the court to the other.
A player is one who doesn't whine about their playing time,
Because a player knows it's an unacceptable crime.
A player is one who practices game-speed,
Always keeping in mind that their shots are not guaranteed.
A player is one who doesn't settle for anything less,
Even knowing, that they're not the best.
They will be the ones you see outside practicing,
Day or Night, Rain or shine,
They are the ones running on hurt ankles, admitting there fine.
A player is one who has a strong, sensible mind,
Never pondering about failing, only contemplating prevailing.
A player is one who doesn't chicken out,
Who wants to be in the game when everything counts.
Now, that is a true player.

What I Think About School

Some people think school is boring, dumb, stupid, etc. but some students say school is fun, cool, etc. I think school can go both ways, it can be boring at one minute and fun at the next,  but it is also fun if you can talk to your classmates and do the work at the same time. I hate when I work by myself because then if I don’t know the answer nobody can help me, I think we should work more with partners and in groups, and I think that’s why students fall asleep in class. I think we need more communication with others and don’t have to go to school at 6 in the morning. Kids brains don’t work properly early in the morning, that’s the  reason students fall asleep a lot. I think students should have more technology with there work, and make school shorter. They should make it were one day you can ware whatever you want and other days you can ware uniforms.

I think we should more time to talk to friends and walk because we don’t have a lot of time for that. We should have better launches then the same thing every other day because it is getting old. Then students coming to school more, have fun, and not be sleepy.
