Mid-Term 2011

                                                           Mid-Term 
Three Things We Learned In the NFL— Aw Forget It, Let’s Talk Tim Tebow:
  In this article it talks about one of today's great football player Tim Tebow. He said that if you want to be in the NFL you have to work hard.  Tim Tebow works hard and he believes in God.  He is always on the sidelines praying or talking about God.

There are three things the article kept saying about Tim Tebow.  He does not always do the best plays but he keeps trying.  He has good ability and he works hard.  He gives the credit to God when he wins.  A lot of people don't think that he is a great player.  But, I think that he is good.  I also like that he gives God the praise for what he does.  A lot of people would be better if they did that to.

I have to learn to use my ability and give God the praise.  Not just me that goes for everyone who wants to be good at something. A professional football player or anyone else can be better by working hard.  If you work hard and don't give up, you will be a winner.  If you believe in God and praise him, he will bless you. 

Tim Tebow knows the game of football.  The first thing is to learn the game. You have to know the game that means to learn how to play offense,defense, quart back,Kicker, and more. The second thing is to work hard. If you try or work at what you are doing you will never exceed that what you are doing. The last thing is the most imported thing of all practices. If you don't practices how will you be wonderful at anything at all so always practices every day all day. 

  I like this article in a christian's perspective because it teaches kids to work hard.

                  Secrets At Sea Essay
   Today I'm going to tell you about one of NY Times Best Seller's Lists book for kids. The book is called "Secrets At Sea" by a man named Richard Peck.  I have never read this book before. But I read is some day.  But until then let me just talk to you a little bit about it. Also some stuff about Richard Peck.


 The book is about mouse adventures with a mouse family. They are trying to go to (their lineage predates the dutch in the Hudson River Valley.) So they travel on a steamboat so that they can leave New York and live in London. So when they got to London they meet Queen Victoria. Also the Princess Louise Victoria's fourth daughter. And that is a little bit of stuff about the book. 


  Now let me talk to you about Richard Peck. Richard Peck was born on April 10 in 1934. He lived in Decatur Illinois. He was awarded the Newbery Medal in 2001. He made over 32 novels and Secrets At Sea was his 33 novel. Now you know about "Secrets At Sea."
