STUDENT WRITING:

                                                                Talents

                                                              by Hunter

            Can you hunt with a bow or juggle 3 items at once? Well, I can. There are many things that I am talented in, but I am going to tell you about a few of my favorite ones. They are hunting, electronics, and juggling.     

My first talent is hunting. I’ve always loved to hunt because my dad would always take me with him when he went hunting. On my 11th birthday, I got my first bow. And ever since that day, I’ve been a Bow hunter. I never really like to use guns, because I always thought a bow would cause less suffering if hit with a good shot, not to act like an Animal-Rights Activist or anything. Anyway, here are the places I normally hunt at. Some of the places I’ve visited to go hunting are Cambridge (with my grandpa, uncle, dad, and cousin), McCook with my dad and uncle, and also in our pasture if there’s every anything good to hunt in there. When I hunt in our pasture, I only go with my dad. One time we saw a REALLY big buck on my dad’s camera he set out to track the deer, but we never saw him after that day…

Another one of my special abilities is dealing with electronics. I like electronics because it’s like your own world on computers in a way. You can basically do whatever you want, anywhere or anytime. If you feel like writing a story, for example, you can just write, write, and write for however long you want on Microsoft Word™. But playing on computers isn’t the only reason I like electronics. I also like them because they help with everyday life. Refrigerators, Ovens, Microwaves, Stoves…they all have to do with electronics. Without them, cooking would be back-breaking. Another way electronics help the world is transportation. Would you like going to work everyday on a bike (which isn’t motor powered)? Or by walking? Well, I know I wouldn’t. I would much rather take a bus or be driven by my parents. This is why I adore electronics.      

Finally, my last skill is juggling. I’m not the best at it, but I try. I can usually juggle 3 of whatever I’m juggling at a time, but on average I drop them all in a matter of seconds. On a good day, though, I may juggle the 3 items for minutes. I can also juggle 2 objects in one hand. This is something I’ve been able to do for a while. No need to brag, but I’m pretty good at this. One time at a Christmas Party, I juggled 2 juggling balls in one hand for probably (what it seemed like) about 5 minutes. I consider that awesome, but you tell me.

Clearly, I am not a boring, average, or ordinary guy. I can hunt, deal with Electronics, and juggle.

 

My Talents

by Zachery

 I’m a devil for danger and fun.  I never thought I could be so aggressive and devilish when it comes to my talents. I play very aggressive when it comes to computers, four wheelers, wrestling, and hunting.

            The first thing I like to do is the always fun computers. The way I’m talented in computers is that I am getting taught how to put together computers and put in virus protection and things to help your computer stay safe so it doesn’t get broke and you don’t have to buy a new one. I also no how to keep the computer from getting really hot.

            My next skill is four wheelers and its one of the best things to do on the hot summer days. I’m talented in it because I can fix it. I also go really fast and am very talented in riding a four wheeler. I do like riding up hill and in corn fields but especially in mud.

            One of my most favorite talents is wrestling. I love the referee raise your hand after the hard match. My favorite color in wresting is gold for 1st place. My most skilled moves in wrestling is the cradle, the gram be roll, the head lock, the cork screw, and the single leg shot. This year in wrestling I came out 18 and 2. The worst place you want to be in wrestling is your back because the person on top will pin you and make you lose.

                The best thing that I like to do is hunt with my dad. It is so fun we get a four wheeler and then we drive around spoke them all up then we go to are spot and wait for them to come to us and then we get them. Last year I shot a 4 by 5 and this year i got two permits and shot a 2 by 3 and a 2 by 2. Last year my dad shot a 2 by 3 drop tine.

The biggest deer I have ever shot is a 4 by 5 and the biggest deer my dad has shot is a 5 by 6. We also hunt with others like this year we hunted with Dillon Coleman and his dad.

And one time I even went coyote hunting with him and his brothers Cory and Dustin Morris. They both are good hunters and have had a couple good deer.

 If you ever hear the words danger and fun in a sentence together ask them where to go because good old Sanchez will be there. I always loved the aggressive world the most.  I am aggressive with computers, four wheelers, wrestling, and hunting.

 

                                                              

Sports Are My Life

by Jordan

Who would have thought that someone could be so talented? I am talented in three different sports. The three sports that I am good at are football, basketball, and dirt bike racing.

            Football is one of my favorite sports. I played optimist football and talked my dad into coaching and we had a undefeated team. Then this year I played seventh grade football and played safety on defense and right guard on offense. We were to and to on the year. Then this year I helped my dad coach my brother’s football team and we were undefeated on the year except for one tie and they were undefeated to.   

Basketball is another one of my favorite sports to. I am better in basketball than football. But I played a lot of optimist basketball. I was on Scott Briggs team. He taught me a lot about basketball but we never did very well in games. I played post. Then this year I played low post this year. I didn’t get to play that much because of my injury on my patellar ligament. But I had fun the games I played.

Dirt bike racing is my number one sport. It has been my favorite for a long time. I started riding when I was two years old. My dad made training wheels for my dirt bike. I started out on a Suzuki fifty. Then when I turned seven years old I got a Kawasaki one ten.  Now I have a 105 KTM. It use to be an 85 KTM but we were out on a track down at Alma, Nebraska, and I was riding and all the sudden my bike went dead and we found out that I blew the engine up. So when we got home we when out to my dads mechanic shop and toke are bike apart and found out that the piston ring broke and ceased the piston up. So we got a 105 motor instead of an 85 motor. So that’s how I got a 105 bike on an 85 frame. So now I go racing a lot with my dad. Last year he won the whole thing and moved up to A class. The races we go to are in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.  That is just a few. So this year my dad is going to get me into the point standings. So I will go to a lot of races this year. Now we are getting my brother into racing.

            As you can see I am pretty talented. That is why I like these three things—football, basketball, and dirt biking. But dirt biking is my best.
