Wrestling

Every muscle in my body ached. I felt like I had just run a marathon. It was June of 2013 and I had just finished my first Grind Match, an hour long wrestling match. By the time I finished I new I was hooked on wrestling. After all those take downs and escapes I new I loved this sport.

At the beginning of this year I was anxious about entering tournaments and wrestling for real, but after I received two 1st place trophies, I knew I would do more tournaments next year. I enjoyed being matched with somebody of equal skill and weight. Three minutes of pure strength and endurance.

If I want to stay in this sport I need to work hard and stay competitive. My goal for next year is to enter three tournaments. . . gotta go, I’ve got weights to lift!

Airsoft

Pew pew, “OW!” Air soft is awesome!

One thing about airsoft is that you can feel like you are on a secret mission, but not actually get shot.
You can feel like a spy when walking through the woods. Once I was playing air soft and I covered myself in leaves like a ghillie suit. It makes you feel like your on a mission.

Another reason air soft is awesome is that you can unleash your anger at your friend without hurting your friend. I once followed my friend without him noticing. I then ducked behind a tree and held down the trigger. He took revenge on me but it was totally worth it.

Personally I like air soft more than paintball. I think paintball hurts more and leaves worse marks on your body. Air soft is awesome!

Dogs

Dogs are amazing.

One amazing thing about them is that they are always happy. They can walk into the room when you are doing work and they wouldn’t even care. Dogs just walk up and lick your fingers until you pet them. You can leave them in the cold all day when you leave and when you come back they will jump on you like nothing ever happened.

Another reason why dogs are awesome is that they can do really cool tricks- if you train them- like ” get your leash!”. For example when it is time for him to go to bed I can yell “bed!” And he will go to his bed.

One other reason is that they are company for you 24/7. If your ever home alone they will always be there for you. Once when I was home alone my dog and I started dancing. Then we played soccer. Then football. Then Hide and Seek. The games will never end! Once, we played “who can get to the other side of the backyard first” but, that didn’t end so well for me.

Even though dogs can be hard to train they are totally worth it.

Hide ‘n Seek

I hear the slight footsteps of my brother creeping up to the room I’m in. I hear him opening and closing the cabinets as he searches for me. The total darkness makes it hard for me to know which cabinet my bother is at. THUMP THUMP, that was the sound of the cabinet right next to me closing. I look straight at the door of my cabinet, almost as if I could see him through the door. As soon as I hear him squat down to open the door, I hear a sound coming from a different room somewhere in the house. My brother stops and stares at where the noise came from then leaves the room.

YES, I’m safe!

The noises get louder and are followed by a squeal of laughter. My cousin Rachel had been found, I had won. If Rachel had kept from accidentally hitting the wood of here cabinet with here arm for one more second, she would have been the victor. The games kept going for hours, I began to find new hiding spots and become the undefeated champion of indoor hide ‘n seek.
