Physical Education in School Is Awesome

Many schools around the world are cutting physical education out of the students' daily routine to provide more time for the academic classes, like English and math. In the year of 2006, only 3.8 percent of elementary schools, 7.9 percent of middle schools, and 2.1 percent of high schools offered students daily physical education or its equivalent amount for the entire year. That is not good! Physical education is a very important thing, especially for our young children. There are many health concerns around the world and the main way to get rid of them is by exercising. Without physical education, the young generation will face many health problems throughout their lives. Physical education is something you need at a very young age and schools are the best way to provide it.
As to ethical reasons for keeping physical education part of our young people's school days, consider the fact that childhood obesity is now one of the most serious health issues facing the world. Childhood obesity is a very unhealthy and scary thing. From a recant poll in a local middle school in New Jersey, only 26.6 percent of the students spent time at home to stay healthy. Most of the students, sit in front of the television, play video games, or go on the computer. (This may be good news to eye doctors, but not for those kids and their parents.) Opponents often disagree because they think that kids can enjoy their lives and that they do not have to worry about their weight. But, most doctors say that you have to be careful at a young age about your weight or never know what health issues you will face in the future throughout your life. As you may already know, your weight has lots to do with your health. It is really important to take care of your health at a young age, so you are fine in the future.
Physical education helps everyone, especially students. It helps adults by loosing weight and stay fit. For some students, physical education is a way to meet their friends, relax, or forget schoolwork. For most students, physical education helps them in their academic classes by getting better grades. That is surprising, right? A Canadian study examined 546 students' academic performance of one additional hour per day of physical education. Students in grades second through sixth who received additional physical education earned better grades in French, mathematics, English, and science than the students who received the standard one period of physical education per day. Many people may say that this may be only true with those students, but other studies show the same results with their own experiments.
Another reason why schools should not cut physical education is because it makes kids strong and healthy. “Weaklings" get sick a lot because their bodies' catch germs very quickly. In order to not get sick quickly, your immune system has to be strong. To build up your immune system, you have to exercise. But, you can not just start at a random age; you have to start at a young age to get the best and the better results. You may be thinking that this is too much work for kids and they can get tired. But, no one is saying that they have to exercise for hours and hours. Forty six minutes in school is enough! Also, when you grow up and compare yourself to one of the "weaklings," you will feel proud and won't regret exercising. Instead, you will be thankful to your school(s) for having physical education.
Physical education is a very important thing that has to be part of everyone’s lives. It prevents a lot of bad things and has many big benefits. Schools should not cut down physical education. It decreases childhood obesity, which is a good thing. More than 75 percent of the kids in the world are overweight. That is a very sad and scary thing. Physical education also helps students in their academic classes. Many different studies can prove this with their own experiments. Being strong and healthy is something people should work on at a young age. Physical education in school makes the students strong and healthy. Physical education is a big part to facing the world, so students should start in school, where they learn other things that are needed to be successful.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS AFTER THANKSGIVING!!

     The holiday season is coming up! This an awesome time of the year and many people put up beautiful decorations. Most of these people put up decorations on Thanksgiving or on that weekend. Why? Because they have no time after that. Is Thanksgiving a time to get ready for the holidays or is it time to be thankful?
     Well... Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful!!! You can be Thankful for anything, from families to toys. During this time, fall decorations should be up and you should be with your families being thankful. Not singing holiday carols with your families and imagining Santa Claus come down the chimney with presents. Many radio channels, like 92.3, put on holiday carols before Thanksgiving. That is wrong!! Doesn't mean that there not as many Thanksgiving songs, you can put on other holiday songs! Thanksgiving is a very important holiday! 
     I can understand that in this world, there are many hardships. One of these hardships is work. In order to survive in this world, we need jobs and some of us do not get the jobs we want. Life is unfair, deal with it! Anyway, most of the people who work say that they got no time to get get ready for the holidays, except or Thanksgiving break. I can understand that because my parents work in the city and they come home late. Okay!! But, if you look at your calendar, there are many other weekends in between these two awesome times. See... now you can not make that excuse.
     In all, all I am trying to say is that Thanksgiving is  an awesome holiday and people should enjoy instead of getting ready for the Holiday season. Hopefully, after reading this essay, you change your plans for next year if you did not do that already.
