Breakdancing, by: Juan

When I as younger,people use to make fun of me.

My name is Juan.

Dancing is one of my favorite things to do. I started dancing when i was 5.When i was in Elementary people made fun of me alot, Kids thought it was a girl thing. I stopped dancing for a while when i went to 6th grade at monarch, alot of kids i know who went there dance.

One time i told a kid who is now my freind, "Why are you dancing? It's a girl thing. He dances no matter what. I started to dance again.

Some people love watching me dance, except one person in my life--mydad. He thought I was gay, but I proved him wrong.

I dance no matter what, I don't people put me down. I love techno music because it makes me happy. If you love to dance, you should dance--no matter what. Don't let people put you down.

Sports by:Betzy

Are you a lazy kid and you don't know what to do? I have something for you: Play FootBall.

Football is something that gives you fresh air and gives you a lot of exercise.

This will help you get more energy. Football gives you an opportunity to meet new friends. I'm a girl and I like to play football. I played every single possition on the field. Watching football might be fun but if you play it is more fun then anything.

As a girl, I like to play football. I get a lot of energy. It got me to tackle people that are my enimes on football, and it gave me an opportunity to meet new friends.

Football is the best sport I ever played! Try it and you will like it!!!!

Dancing Is Important To Me- Noelley

Dancing is so awesome you never want to stop.

Ever since I was little, I always was into dancing.

As I got older I watched people dance, so I could try do what they did. I wanted to be the best dancer, or at least, be famous at dancing. I would like to be a dance teacher.

Now I'm in a dance group called D.A.R.E to dance. When I dance it helps me release stress and makes me happy. It doesn't stress me or make me feel bad. I love to dance because I feel free. I have never done any dance before this.

Music Is My Life, By: Alexus

Music is my life.

Ever since I could talk I was singing. Every song I heard, I'd just sing it, it didn't matter if I liked it or not, I'd sing my little heart out.

I was always really into R&B, but I grew up listening to Temptations, Michael Jackson, Cindy Lauper, and Madonna, stuff like that, and at first I would just sit and listen, trying to get the whole song down. Then after listening 3 or 4 times I'd get it, and just sing it.

Just recently though, I've been listening to techno and house mixes, and I'm really really into it. It gets me in this sort of happy mood for some reason. But one of my favorite artist is Chris Brown because when I was younger. whenver my sister came home from school-- oh my gosh, that's all she would listen to, and it sort got to me and I started loving his music.

I also like to shuffle, it's really fun, I learned how from my friends, they're a little better than me, but I can still beat them in a battle. When I first started, I was really into it, i shuffled like everywhere I went. I just had fun with it.

Music is just somethingthat gets me happy, and makes me want to do something big, or makes me feel like singing, or crying or laughing. It's like an emotion. I don't know what I'd do without music. Music Is My Life.

You Want to Be in Shape? Do Sport. by: Jacob

Do you sit on the couch all day eating greasy fries and watching T.V. ?

Are you out of breath walking around the block?

You should be playing sports.

No matter what size you are you can still play any sport you want. Sports will help you in many ways.

You meet new people, you get in shape, you get stronger, and you`re in a good mood. When I played football a few years ago I made alot of good friends, some of which I have today.

Playing sports isn`t easy, but it`s worth the hard work you put into it.

Colors, by Alicia

Green is peace. That is what it means to me. Have you ever wondered what colors mean?

Colors can mean anything, it depends what you are feeling.To me, color express how I feel. For me, red is pain because in my paintings I use red as a sign of pain. Also I use red beause at night in my dreams, I see red.

Blue is sad. When I feel down I paint blue. There are so many colors out in the world that reflect your feelings. Another color I like is yellow. Yellow refiects me as happy for most things I do.

Now after reading this artlcle, what colors are you? What reflects you most?
