Physical Exercise

What is physical exercise? If you ask 100 people this question you will probably get a lot of different answers. For some people physical exercise is a cruel punishment that none should have to endure. On the other hand, for some people it is their favorite part of the day where they get to go exercise and play a game that requires you to do more than just sitting on the couch and eating potato chips. Physical exercise is a huge part of life for me because that’s what keeps me healthy and provides me with a challenge and enjoyment.

Physical exercise to me  is a way to stay healthy and have fun while exercising. Physical exercise provides me with good health because when your participating, you’re getting exercise, you’re staying active, and when you stay active as a kid it will help you later in life. It may seem tough at times but you only have to be active for 60 minutes a day and you will stay healthy and in good shape. A way that makes this time easier for me is finding someone else that wants to exercise with me, such as a friend or a family member. For me it’s easy to get out and exercise because my family is always active with soccer, basketball, baseball, and much more.

People may not enjoy physical exercise but I love it. I spend any time that I can and go out and get some exercise because it keeps you in shape and healthy. I enjoy physical exercise because it’s fun playing games against your class mates, friends, or family. Physical exercise also provides me with a challenge. It challenges me to try to do better every time I do this activity or sport. An example would be like in soccer when my team is in the championship game and in order to win you must challenge yourself to play the best you have ever played.

Physical exercise is a huge part of life for me because that’s what keeps me healthy and provides me with a challenge and enjoyment. A quote that really stands out to me about physical activity is a quote by Edward Stanley, "Those who think they have no time for exercise will eventually have to make time for illness." This quote means that without physical exercise we will become weak and not as healthy. Therefore physical exercise should be a daily thing for everyone and I will always strive to make this part of my everyday life.

Lies

Authors Note- I wrote this piece to try to score a ten in conclusion, a ten in main idea and development, and a nine in character development. 

In the story Zach’s Lie, the Grangers were in the witness protection program. The reason they were in this program was because their father had something to do with a drug cartel that made him very rich but was also very dangerous, this put the Grangers lives at stake. This relates to real life because in real life today we still deal with the smuggling of drugs and trading drugs over the border. In life sometimes the family must endure the pain for ones doings.

“They will kill us if you talk.” This quote from Zach’s Lie really shows the danger that the Grangers are in. Zach is a boy who is in 7^th grade who is shy, quite, doesn't like to express himself; and has an imaginary friend named commander IF. He has a dairy that he writes in and expresses himself so he can write down his thoughts instead of having to say them to someone else. Since the Grangers are in the Protection Program they must be relocated so the people that run the drug cartel cannot find them, therefore they cannot harm them. The Witness Protection Program isn't something just made up; it is a program that relocates a family or a family member so they cannot be harmed. In order for this program to happen, there must be a crime that took place and you would probably be in danger. If you were in this program they would change your identity and they would relocate you to live somewhere else. 95% of these moves are due to criminal means in our time now.

Throughout this book Zach changes from being this boy who is very shy and doesn't like to share his feelings to a man who is brave and will say whatever he feels whenever. He also became a brave man who will put himself out there and looks after his family. The way Zach acts effects the way other people act; by showing other people to be courageous, brave, and do something that makes you happy. Zach’s actions causes his sister to go from being someone who stays in the house all day to being the star in the school play.  In life we should always do something that makes us happy because what’s the point if you live a life that’s not worth living.

As you can see in life sometimes the family must endure the pain for ones doings. In life we shouldn't have to suffer for someone else’s mistakes. Even though it isn't fair to the others, life isn't always fair. So before you make a risky decision that could harm the people you love, think how it could affect your friends or family.
