Patriots Essay

Authors Note;
 My note is that i am so proud of our country.

Yes I am proud of the United States of America because why wouldn’t I be proud of the county that I live in and that that army and navy fights for me and the rest of the people that live there. I know that the United States of America is the best country on the earth.
           
Some reasons too back that up are... we had a civil war we fought against each other and still came back and we are now all  country another is the great depression we fought back from that and went into a good time after that then no we are in a downfall but nobody doesn’t stop looking for job.

Also we have the best army, navy, air force and we have been in plenty of wars and we almost always never lose any battles and thank from serving everyone who has served and protected our country.

I are country is great because it is the land of the free so people can come here and there are no slaves there isn’t a dictator there isn’t a king that bosses people around there is a president and that president is very important but he can’t boss people around and the president is who you the people choose it isn’t just who the king or queen pictures and if you don’t like someone you don’t get killed like in another country.

Also we have another thing called freedom of speech where if you don’t like something you can protest then the people won’t kill you about what you say like in other countries. That is a very important one cause you want to voice your opinion.

In conclusion to all this information this is why America or united states of america is the best country in America. I know this is opinion but the facts that I stated should persuade you to think that.

College Basketball

Author's Note: I was watcing the nba draft and i was tired of hearing all the kids that were freshmen going to the pros. also hearing stories about basketball players retiring then going bankrupt cause they were spending to much and didnt have a job. So i wanted to write about those stats and why you should stay in college.


According to northjersey.com, 38% of college basketball players graduate, while the other 62 % don’t graduate. This statistic is eye opening because the player can’t count on making it to the NBA so they should have a backup plan if it doesn’t work out. Even if it does work they usually don’t go to the NBA for that long so they College is important whether they make it to the NBA or not

About one in 75, or approximately 1.2 percent of NCAA men’s basketball players will get drafted by a NBA team. This is another eye opening stat to the players in college basketball. This stat shows how hard it is to get to the NBA so the players should have a backup plan.

Also another stat that is interesting is that the average the average age people retire in the NBA is 33 and the average death by a sports player is 67 both according to strengthplanet.com. So there is a 44 year difference between there you usually need to do something like get a job. Unless you are like Michael Jordan. so you need a college
degree to do most jobs.

In conclusion to all of this information these are reasons why you should graduate for school and have a backup plan if the professional career in basketball doesn’t work out.
This is why college is important weather you make it to the NBA or not.
