GAS PRICES
I Seems to me that gas prices go up every month. In support of this my parent go to New Jersey just to get gas because it's cheaper than Philadelphia. Like wise I hope that when i get my car gas is not as high as it is now eventhough it will be even higher than now. Eventually gas will be as high as $4.00 or $5.00 and people will will be very shocked. As a result of gas going up 17 cent in New Jersey the gas is still cheaper than here in Philadelphia. Despite the fact that gas is really high people have cut down on buying gas alot. Afterall in a few more years gas will be even higher maybe gas will be like $6.00. To close this story when gas becomes $6.00 the flying car will be invented and all are gas problems will be gone.
TRACK TEAM
The question is will the track team continue to keep up the good work at track meets and consist on having a positive attitude and work hard to achieve our goals which is to make it to champinships.That is if everybody one the team puts 110 percent to win their event or do as good as they can. What's more important is that everyone on the team helps one another and try's to boost everyone's confidence. Prior to yesterdays track meet everybody did good except for the shotputters because we came in 7th and 8th because most of the our competition were much bigger than us and also because we were not physicaly ready so it was somewhat our falt but it's okay because we have three more years to become fit and strong for next track season. Since we did good everybody has much more confidance than we had before and want to come home with medals.
People with Bad attitude
I assert that to many people in my class have nasty attitude's about every little thing that sometime may not be that big of a deal and try to drag the problem out and keep nagging about it until some shows them some attention. furthermore it's many of the girls who have this very annoying attitude and they act like they are still in 3rd grade and have no life to live. Inparticular it's the girls who think thier boss of the class and their the most popular so they think that they can talk about anyone they want. On account of this the reason I think they talk about people is because it's something wrong with them. So because i am a nice guy and I try to be as nice as possible i don't say anything because I don't want to start more drama than it is in our class. To close this story I wish they would that girls in my class would stop being jerks and grow up and find a new hobbie to play with.
