Proud of the United States

Author’s Note:  Many people think the United States is a good country, and I agree with that. The United States of America is great and I am proud of it. So I just wanted to tell you about why I am proud of it.

Did you know that the United States of America has many great things to offer? This country has many things to offer like fast food restaurants and food pantries.   Also it has great schooling and jobs to work with! The United States of America has many things, are country has independence, and freedom of speech.

Our country also has a good schooling. You can be home-schooled, go to public schools, and private schools.  The United States has one of the top education systems in the world.  In a school day you have mathematics and English, because the USA does this technique so we receive the best possible education.  For a large amount of daily job you need math and reading. You might need science and social studies if you pick a job in those categories

The selection of food is great.  We get fresh food from local food markets, like carrots and corn.  Many people in our country live to 85-100 years.   If our food range was not the best we wouldn’t have people living right that are elder.                                                                                                                          
Our country also has many hospitals that are opened all-night for if you get sick.  Not all countries have people and hospitals to take care of them.  For people in different countries if they have the flu or something like that they can pass away easily if not treated.  In a country if we have the flu we just get medicine and then we are well.

The people in the United States are blessed because are country has independence and many other countries don’t have that.  Other than a few laws and rules, we get a lot of freedom in this country. 

Some other countries have dictators who tell the people what to do.  Our country doesn’t have that; we have presidents and mayors that help make the rules in our country, The United States of America.  If you do anything not smart you won’t have a large amount of freedom, but if you are smart and don’t get in big trouble you will have a lot of independence.

This why, the United States of America, is so successful.  That is why I am big-headed about our country!!  The people in the United States are helpful with neighbors by taking care of them when they are sick and all of those excellent things to do.

Pewaukee Homecoming a Great Time of the Year

Homecoming for Pewaukee
 Author's Note: Homecoming is a tradition at every high school has.  I picked to write about homecoming and I wanted you to learn about Pewaukee's.
The sky was cloudy, the roads were loud, and everyone was happy. There were cars and wagons coming down the street with people in the cars throwing candy. The Pewaukee Pirates played New Berlin West this year.  This means it is homecoming for the Pewaukee Pirates.  Yeah!!! Homecoming is an event that gets everyone excited and happy.
In Pewaukee’s homecoming there is a parade before the football game. There are people in cars and wagons throwing candy and coupons out the doors of the car. Also the band plays in the parade for entertainment.  Many people before the parade use and squirt silly string on people.
This year the Pewaukee Pirates played the New Berlin West football team.  We all thought it was going to be a close game, but Pewaukee came out in front.  It was a blowout 39-14.  All of the Pewaukee fans were happy because it is sad when you lose your homecoming game.  The great thing is Pewaukee won there’s!!
During the game, everyone was crazy and squirting silly string on people.  The homecoming game is great because it is funny when they squirt the silly string in your face. Also we get to hang out with are friends at the game.  Many people that we don’t see that much are there.  At half time it is time to stretch and get a bit to eat. Sometimes it is a long line, though but the food is great. It is worth the wait!  That is why homecoming is awesome and is very fun.
After the game many people go to parties and hang out.  People think the excitement is over after the game.  No it isn’t!  Many of the people after the game stay up until 12 A.M. partying.  They talk about the game and eat food.  Also they take pictures because we are all dressed up crazily with Pewaukee spirit wear, face paint, and are hair dyed red and black. 
The best Friday is when Pewaukee has homecoming. Homecoming is the greatest time for the school and students.  If there was no homecoming the football season wouldn’t be as good as it is. That special day isn’t something that you could take and no one would notice.  That football game and parade means a lot to people.
