Make it Right

Authors Note: This piece states how the constitution should be better. We made this piece as our Patriots Pen essay. 

There was 55 people who made the constitution. 39 of those 55 signed it. But yet we have had to make many changes to the constitution. Why didn’t we get it right the first time I wonder?  With 55 of the smartest men in the country making this why would we have had to change it. Maybe because there was only strict older men. No women no young people maybe that’s why. In this piece I will tell you some of the things that America has changed to the constitution since then and what they did wrong.

133 years that was how long it took America to pass the amendment to allow women to vote and have the same rights as men. Why is this important you might wonder this is important because women are a huge part of our society. They could have made the constitution much more far if they would have included women. Maybe if women were in the constitution they would have had different perspectives.

Although having women in the constitution would have helped a lot but also to make the constitution even better they also should have made a law or amendment that says that any person that is president should add something new to the constituion because then if each president adds or edits something to the constitution it will always be up to date and updated. I know that would help a lot, because I am sure there are some crucial laws missing or left out of the constituion.

With 55 people making the constitution why couldn’t they still get it right the first time? Well some of the reasons why were because women were not in the constitution and it hasn’t been updated that much since then. Just think maybe if women were in the constitution how much better it would be and if it was updated more often.  

Four!

Have you ever been golfing? Well the first time I have ever been golfing on the first hole I have to yell for. Anyone that has ever golfed  knows how embarrassing that is. In this story I will show you the  tribulations of a amateur golfer golfing for the first time.

The 1^st hole. We had a 4:45 tee time. I will never forget I get up to the tee.  Then I took some practice swings. Take a step closer to the ball and swing. Then I shanked it right all of a sudden I see the ball heading towards a cart. My dad yells…”Four”!!! they look and the ball bounces off the ground into the tire of the cart. It was so embarrassing.  I was so nervous know to hit the second shot. Because it was in the other fairway. When I got up to the ball I used my fairway driver. When I hit it, it was a ideal shot. I ended up getting a 7 on the hole which is a triple bogey.

The 6^th hole. The hole I will never forget I lost 6 balls in one hole. The hole was a par 3, 101 yards and 85 of those yards were over water.  My dad went first on the hole he uses his nine iron and lands within ten feet of the hole. It was a exceptional shot. Then I stepped up and hit the first five in the water with a 7 iron. Then I take  a driver and it over and into the woods. The last shot was with 4 iron landed it on the green.  I ended up with a par on the hole, not counting the balls I lost.

Lastly, after the sixth hole I didn’t do so bad. The best hole I had all day was the 8^th hole .It was a par 4  313 yards. On that hole I got 4 shot which is a par.  On the tee shot I shot it and about 175 yard into the rough I thought. But the ball bounced of  a hill and landed in the fairway. It went roughly 25 yards farther and landed in the fairway.  That hole was very exciting because it was a really cool to get my first ever par.  In the end I shot a 69.

In conclusion this showed the tribulations of a amateur golfer golfing for the first time. I faced a lot of challenges on that day golfing. Since then I have gotten a lot better and have scored in the low 50’s. which I a lot better. So if you haven’t been golfing you should try it’s really fun.

Facing Clemens ( Cause/Effect)

Authors Note: We had to do a cause and effect piece and i decided to do it about the book Facing Clemens By Jonathan Mayo because i like baseball. But i also like this book.

The cause in this book or what happens is people claim Roger of taking steroids. Some of the people that claim hi of taking steroids in the book are Brain his trainer. Brain claims that he injected roger with steroids for many years. Also Many of his former teammates alleged him of taking steroids. Such as Andy Pettitte. Andy is one of Roger's Teammates when he was on the Yankees.

The Effect of the people accusing Roger of taking steroids is that he had to be suspended from the MLB season and also had to go to court. But the worst out of all of these is that Roger wont be able to be inducted into the hall of fame is he is accused of this. Roger is a very good pitcher and if he isn't accused he should be a first ballot hall of famer

Travel Team

The main conflict in the book Travel Team by Mike Lupica. Is that Danny walker is told by the coach that he is not tall enough to be on the Vikings, a local travel team.(Person vs Person) This travel team happens to be the same team that Danny’s dad was on when he led the team to a ESPN championship.  After all of this Danny thinks about quitting basketball. (Person vs Self)

Then the resolution was after Danny didn't make the Vikings his dad came up with their own team called the Middletown Warriors. After Danny's dad made the team. Danny’s best friend Ty who is on the Vikings joins the warriors. In the end the Warriors beat the Vikings 40-39.
