"Forget Goofing Around"

This article is about students having fun during recess and showing them other ways not to get in trouble. Also schools are having this new program that is designed to stop bullying and behavioral problems. They are also trying to help the kids with their social skills and with childhood obesity. One more thing is article is trying to show kids is that they could have fun even when they are not sitting down playing video games all day.

                                                                Writer’s Autobiography

                Me personally I just don’t find reading fun and interesting. Reading is the one thing that I don’t enjoy doing because it makes me sleepy and it’s boring. My whole life I think I read one or two books by myself and they were “Child Called It” and “The Freedom Writers”.  In High School when teachers ask me to read I tell them that I don’t know how to read so I wouldn’t read aloud. The reason is that I really don’t want the other students to laugh at me when I say some words wrong.  On the other hand I enjoy reading something that’s interesting like “The Child Called It”. I try to read but it just doesn’t go with me. I prefer doing math than reading a book the whole day. Reading is one of my worst things to do. For reading I would like to read more interesting books not those boring books that make people sleep.

                Writing to me is ok. It’s not that bad when I have something that interests me or something I like to write about. I enjoy expressing my feelings when I’m writing. Writing is another way to escape from this world and problems. In High School, I wrote a story for my college writing class and it was pretty good. The teacher liked it and told me that he likes the way I write and the details that I gave. Last, semester my English teacher told me that I write well but sometimes I have to give more so the readers could be into the writing. This helped me a lot so now I think my writing is pretty good if I could say myself. This semester, I would love for the teacher to let us pick our own topics that we like to write about. That will be awesome and fun. On top of that I would love this class more.
