A Summary of Jesse Owens !

There had been a lot of competitors in the Olympics, Jesse owens was one of the greatest olympians of all. Jesse beat all the odds, but hitler didn’t want Jesse Owens to be in the Olympics because he was Nigro.

Owen was the seventh child of eleven siblings. He was born in a small part of Alabama, even though he was born there he mostly grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Jesse’s real name was James Cleveland but his teacher couldn’t understand him because of his accent, so she started calling him Jesse. One day of school he was playing on the playground and the junior high coach took him off the playground and set him for work and the running track.

In 1936 Jesse arrived at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. Even though Hitler’s Germans hated him he fought hard and won a total of 4 gold medals. Jesse was a man of great strength.

His coach Charles Riley had changed his life and history. He had attributed his all of his Olympic success to him. He had made another world record in the relay, it wa his last event in the Olympics. He went out with pride and success.

Jesse Owens was a great man. He is someone which people can look up to him as a hero and a role model.

Making Decisions

Our task is to write something about making decisions and which way we choose them whether they're wrong or right.

Lately I've been making my own decisions. Making decisions are hard, it can affect the people are us. Sometimes people get pressure to make decisions even though they know its wrong. Decisions can lead you to astray, because that’s how life is.

The past weeks we have been going to the Life Education caravan, where we have been learning to make decisions. We watched a few videos which show us people making choices on their own, and whether there right or wrong.

Sometimes I make the right choices, but not very often. But now i'm going to try STOP THINK before I make my decisions.

Nature or Nurture !

What makes a great athlete? Well I don’t know for sure. But my opinion is it’s your natural talent and working hard to accomplish your goal.

Athletes need to be strong. The best option to have strength is working out and exercising. Working together is an important thing to sports. It takes a lot of work to have to ability to play a sport, but you should keep practising and Go For Gold.

To me athletes need both natural ability and hard work to become a great athlete. The most important thing is to keep training and try your best.
