the readings were very interesting, they made me think about my life. i hope to read more of them soon

I definitely think that sports are taken too seriously at a young age. As a child some sports were incredibly competitive. P

I enjoyed the readings. They were very interesting.

I really liked the readings.  I wish we had more of them.  Reading.  Re

The biggest part of this essay that grabbed my attention was when the author stated how a parent set the opposing teams jersey on fire on the pitchers mound hoping to intimidate them. I think parents with their kids on sports teams are crazy, especially if their team is not winning. I related to this […]
