Making choices are important in life especially if they are good choices. This term we have attended a Life Caravan session which teaches us about making choices.
Good choices can get you better things or make you live longer. Choices are very hard to make especially if there are more than two good choices to decide from. If you go to course and graduate you will have lots of work choices to choose from.
Bad choices can be made without the person even knowing or he/she just took the risks of making that choice. Some bad choices could potentially harm the human body. Like, if you make a bad choice and start smoking you could have a higher chance of dying. But if you make a good choice and decline smoking cigarettes (nicotine) you will be more healthy and have a better chance of living longer.
Choices can be harmful to the person making the choices because of peer pressure and people pressuring them to make their choice. In the Life Caravan we learnt what alcohol can do to the human body. An average adult can only take so much alcohol each hour and too much alcohol results in a very drowsy drunk mood. Children’s bodies cannot handle as much alcohol as an adult. It’s not a good idea to drink.
Usain Bolt has got to be one of my favourite athletes in the Olympics. He has extraordinary speed which gained him the WR (World Record) for the fastest time in the 200m sprints. The Jamaican Beast seemed invincible as he defended his record once again with a time of 9.63, the second fastest time recorded for the 100m race.
Usain Bolt and his fellow Jamaican athletes in the track and field events tried their best to sprint their way to a medal. The Jamaicans on the 200m final sprint event came first, second and third. The Jamaicans also broke the record for the relay sprint.
Usain Bolt was born on 21 August 1986 in Sherwood Content, this makes him 26 years old this year. He is 1.95m tall and 93 kg of weight. When he was a child, he attended Waldensia Primary school and that’s where he showed his running potential. He ran in the annual national primary schools and when he reached twelve years old he became the school’s fastest runner on the 100m track. His track name or nickname is “Lightning Bolt.”
Usain Bolt is an extraordinary man with the ultimate speed to beat any other human in the world. The Jamaican warrior has won many golds and has more to come. When he’s on the track all you can hear is the crowd going wild chanting, USAIN, USAIN, USAIN all the way.
Since our first meeting for league we have been practising hard to make the team every Wednesday lunch and Thursday after school. I have missed two trainings because I left my boots at home. At league training on Thursdays some boys and I have to leave early because we have another training to attend at the Marist club for Rugby Union.
Our coaches said these last two trainings are the main trials for them to decide the two teams, The ‘A’ team and the ‘B’ team. I don’t really mind what team I make it in but I still tried out for the ‘A’ team. I missed out one of the trials on Wednesday because I did not come to school. The teams will be announced on Tuesday.
