Why People Should Try Volleyball

In the past, when I was a kid, I haven’t discovered my sport yet. My father told me to try basketball so I gave it a shot, at first I thought it would be easy to play basketball, but it turned around that it was a difficult sport for me since I was having trouble shooting the ball on the basket. So I tried a little bit harder but then I realized that basketball isn’t really my sport. Then while watching my sister playing Volleyball, my mind was focused on how she plays it. So I gave it a shot and I noticed that I was really good at it.
For starters, when its your first time to play Volleyball, you may find it quite difficult to keep the ball in the air since you need the right position of your arms and proper angle. It may bounce off in the wrong direction if the angle of your arm is not the direction you want it to go to.
Second, when you practice it, you catching skills will improve and you will feel more comfortable doing it. Volleyball may sometimes hurt when catching it because of the material its made of, rubber is the most comfortable material to use. Some boys that might say that when you play Volleyball your gay, don’t listen to them, it is said that military soldiers were the first people to play Volleyball.
The third reason why people should play Volleyball is that its a great sport and its like your already exercising because Volleyball requires speed, thinking fast, and strength. If you keep on practicing, you will notice that your great at it. It may take time for starters to learn Volleyball but if they listen carefully, they will learn it quickly.
Volleyball isn’t just sports for girls, its also for boys. Sometimes when you think a sport like Volleyball is kinda hard to play, at least give it a try, who knows, the sport that you think is hard for you to play with is the sport that you were born to play with.

Why People Should Travel Around the World

 

Many people from around the world love to travel to other countries. I , too, am fond of going around the world whether it be locally or internationally. I started to travel to other places, particularly outside the Philippines, at the age of 8 when my family went to Hong Kong. We celebrated my birthday there along with my mother’s friends and batchmates. Getting to experience this fruitful thing for over the last 4 years has taught me of a way to tell you why everyone should get a chance to travel around the world.

First, you must be ready to go away from home and that you should not be always reminded of your own home. When traveling around countries, you should be able to experience their own culture as if you are living there.

Second, you are always given a chance to learn many things and facts about that particular place. Try to look at your surroundings when taking a walk, try to see how intriguing the place is, try to feel atmosphere around you. Doing these things will very much help you while traversing around the country.

Lastly, don’t forget to have serious fun! Ask any of your friends or relatives to go around the place to have fun. Obviously, I don’t think there is a country that doesn’t get to experience fun. While staying at a hotel (if you are), relax and don’t forget to talk with your friends or family  or whoever you are with.

On top of everything, I think that learning many things is a must considering that you may not be able to go back to that country for a while (or maybe, even never!). Learning stuff is always going to be, or should be, the top priority. And of course, enjoy the trip with your loved ones!

Why You Shouldn’t Drink Softdrinks

 

          Soda has long been a part of celebrations, parties, and in our everyday lives. It’s no surprise many people drinking it everywhere. You see youngsters drinking it in any season and in every situation. What makes softdrinks so appealing?                                                                                    

          These softdrinks come in different containers, from bottles to cans, in a great variety of attractive colors and labels. They attract the eyes of consumers to taste them. Once you get a taste of it, it will leave you wanting more. People claim that it quenches thirst and removes aftertastes of food they have consumed especially oily ones. There are those who say that it helps ease stomach pain caused by indigestion.

 

          Not few but many people are aware that these bottled beauties hide a nasty surprise. We do not take the harm that it does to our bodies seriously, just like smoking. They know drinking softdrinks is bad, but they still keep on doing it. People who have sweet tooth usually drink soda to satisfy their cravings. In the process, they get hooked. Due to the caffeine and high sugar content, young children become hyperactive and restless. Not only that, but soda also causes hyperacidity which could lead to ulcer.

 

          Soda’s bad for you. You should drink water, fresh fruit juices, and shakes, which are much better for your body. In this way, those who are wanting for sweets can still get their sugar fix without compromising their health. Do you want to live a healthy life? The choice is yours.
