Currently our school has three sporting events every year. These are the two community days, and the one sports day, that we have when school is almost over. Many people in grade seven, and my class have taken longer to get together, and in some of the classes, they haven’t even got together as a class yet, and still are in small groups from their last classes, in their new mentor group. This is something that is really big, because bonding people together takes time and effort, not only from the students themselves getting to know each other better, but also the teachers, who are also involved with the bonding that the class is doing. Having more sporting events along the course of the year, will ensure that kids will have to time to get to know each other, and be happier, which is what everyone wants.
Now-a-days, people are so caught up in their futures. In most cases, kids who just leave middle school, and enter high school, they will be looking to getting into the best of the best universities, so that they can be the best job that they can get later on in life. This is something that people all around the world are doing, and as they are doing that, they have to sacrifice something else, and what gets sacrificed is your fitness. You will spend most of you free time studying, so that you can become the best you can, and in the end, after years and years, you will look at yourself, and realise that you have lost all of your fitness, and you cant get that back, as it is easier to loose fitness, than gain it, as is most things in the world.
Having sports days will make you keep fit, and even though it is not that often, it will be just enough, to make you realise that you can do everything on your desk, get the grades and the results that you want, and keep yourself fit, and become what ever you want to be, from philosopher, to professional football player.
People in our school and many other schools want to become a professional sports man when they grow up, but as they get older, they will not have enough time to become what they want, and they will probably never become what they wanted to become, because they were never given the opportunity to become what they wanted, and this is a common problem in schools around the world. Having more sports days or sporting events will give those students that chance to become what they what to when they grow up.
From the article “10 Reasons Kids Should Play Sports” it quotes “Involving your kid in sports at a young age does not mean that they are going to be taken out of your home and moved across the country to train to be a world-class athlete at the age of five.” This is telling you that playing sports, even if it takes up most of your time, children will not get consumed by the sport, and only be able to do that. WRONG! This will only make them become more active not only on that sport, but also in their studies, and in school. This is something that kids and adults alike enjoy, and it gets people and groups together, and that is something that is really good, and is something that people can’t live without. Playing sports may seem bad to some, or a waste of time, but it is not. Anything that bonds people together is something that is good for everyone.
Another important outcome of having more sporting events at school is by giving teenagers more sporting opportunities will allow them to be recognised as an “athlete” to everyone and may help them be something in the future.
Take Michael Jordan for example, arguably the best basketball player of all time. He was dropped from his high school basket ball team, and his coach told him that he would amount to nothing. If we had more sporting events in our school, it would give those people who were dropped from the team, even though they had the potential to become something amazing, and give them the opportunity to prove their coach wrong for dropping them, and they will have been given a second chance at a future at whatever they were going to be, or wanted to be.
Basically what I am trying to say, is that If we had more sporting events in our school, it would help way more people then it would hurt. From talking to Mr.Dunn and other people who organise the sports days, I know how hard it is, but at the end of the day, they are always so happy to see all of the laughs, and fun times that we all share during that day, and that repays them for all of their hard work. Having more sporting events will make our school a better place, with more smiles, and laughs, that is fun to be in, and all hard work pays off, and where the rewards are worth all of the time and effort you put into your work, what ever it might be, from our principal, to our cleaning staff.
