Soccer

I don't like to play soccer its hard and not very fun. I think it's hard because you have to control the ball and you have too score in a goal. I dont't like it also because when you are not very good it's not very fun because you only lose the ball and don't score. I don't know how they play the game.

Rollercoaster’s
Many people don’t like roller coasters and many people do. Some people think they are dangerous and scary but if you get to like it you can really see the joy. I love roller coasters because they are fast and they spin a lot which gives it the excitement you need. I personally love to go to six flags in Darien Lake New York we go there when we visit my grandma everything there is bigger and faster. Six flags in Darien Lake is better in my opinion because it is in the top 10 for biggest and fastest roller coasters. They have the ride of steel which I have gone on it is in the top 5 for biggest drops it has a 305 foot drop right away which makes it fast and fun. Most people are scared of the Ride of steel but I don’t see the need to be scared the bigger the drop the more fun also you are as safe as possible in the seats so you can’t get hurt.

Patriotism

                                                                Patriotism                                             

There is a lot of talk about patriotism; some people say they don’t get enough respect some people say they get too much. What people aren’t looking at is look where we are living we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. So does patriotism still matter? Yes because they’re protecting us and risking their lives for all of us so the word patriotism reminds me of my grandpa. 
If you were to go and talk to my grandpa right now and tell him that patriotism doesn’t matter anymore he would throw a fit. Patriotism is America without it we would not be anywhere they won the war for us and every time we show respect that’s how we pay them back. He told me many stories of him when he was kid and if ever showed disrespect to the flag the country or people you would be beaten with a wooden spoon and that probably hurt a lot. He also said that were to not bow when the star spangled banner was played they would be escorted out of the event that they were at.
Patriotism still matters because; think if you were in the military fighting for us and people didn’t care and thought it doesn’t matter you wouldn’t feel too good. If you acknowledge them every day you will feel better about yourself but even though they can’t here you say it you’ll know that you believed enough and they think right now that we believe in them so if you prove it then you’re telling the truth. Also there is always someone who hears you or believes in you so do the right thing. That’s what my parents always tell me.
            Your parents are probably a lot different than mine, but everybody’s parents always had a few stories and if you think patriotism still matters don’t be afraid to let people know just because it might seem cool it is always cool to believe in your country. That’s what my parents taught me and that’s what all of my grandparents taught because all of my uncles served in the military and all of my grandpas served in the military.
