Making choices - Life Caravan

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

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.

League Trials

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.  

The Struggle

1. As the man struggles to break free from the lock, his opponent attempts to make him tap out.
2. As quickly as he could, he tried to get loose in case the opponent got the better of him.
3. The grappler is in the perfect position to take the opponent down and make him tap
4. The wrestlers are straining their muscles, popping their veins as they both try to win.
5. During the tiring match the wrestler manages to get his opponent into an armlock and tries to make him tap.

Steady Aim

Title: Steady Aim

1.Silence filled the air as the archers calmly aim their arrows towards his bullseye.
2.The archer is firm and focused on hitting the target.
3.The archer has to be fixed and have faith to be able to be on target
4.His body is perfectly balanced as aims his steady shot at the target.
5.He holds his bow firmly so that the arrow will shoot straight at the target.  

Holiday highlight

My holiday highlight was on my little brothers birthday. My little brother Ty turned 3 years old on Thursday the 12th of July. My step-dad wanted to celebrate his birthday on the same day as Ty because his birthday is only a few days after Ty's birthday.

On their birthday we went out to buy Ty and my step-dads presents, while out we bought my little brother a garbage truck and some new kicks. We bought my step-dad a dartboard.

My dad gave me some money to me so I bought me some new shoes from Rebel Sport, I got some Nike Backboard 2's and my other little brother Jerahd got some Pumas.

After we bought the stuff we went and bought the cake, it was a caramel mud-cake. we had dinner then continued to dessert, the cake. We enjoyed the cake and after I played my Modern Warfare 2 game on my Xbox-360. Ty's birthday was fun and I cant wait for my birthday.
