YMCA

Posted On
I went to the YMCA at 238-10 Hillside , Bellerose, NY 11426. There are two pools there: the JK pool and the Small pool. I personally like the JK pool better. The JK pool is warmer (perhaps this is why it is dirty: it supports bacterial growth) and gives more privacy than the Small pool; it has stalls in the bathroom and a changing room. However, the Small pool is cleaner and deeper than the JK pool; at one end, it is 10' deep. What do you think about these pools? I had a good time there sinking down to the deep end of the Small pool and swimming back and forth. However, it would have been better if there were stalls. I would rate the pools 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. For more information about this YMCA site, go to http://www.ymcanyc.org/crossisland.

Want A Pet?

Want a Pet?           Would you like to own a pet? I would want a pet dog or cat because they remind me of good friends. However, they would need to meet certain requirements, such as being hypoallergenic and friendly. I would love this kind of pet.           I used to have a best friend named Joshua about 5 years ago. We lived directly across from each other and played a lot together. We played new games and old every day from right after school to when we had to sleep, and we often ate together. We even sometimes went together to fun places like amusement parks and water parks. He had 4 cats that were really nice, but I was allergic to them. My mom had to give me allergy medicine every time I went over to his house. When I had a mild allergic reaction to them, it was very annoying, especially if I was playing. I would like to have a cat like Joshua’s except it will have to be hypoallergenic. Such a cat will remind me of what a great friend Joshua was.           Another

George Washington

George Washington   When I think about what a person I admire was like, I think of a brave, determined, loyal, hardworking, or important person. One of the people I admire the most was George Washington. He was a great leader, and he was courageous, determined, and loyal. He affects my life in several ways. Washington was a great leader because he led the United States to independence. He controlled a huge army and led them to victory, despite the fact that it was huge. Another reason he was a great leader was that after the war, he governed the   whole   United States as president. He was so excellent that everyone wanted him to serve three terms, even though he only wanted to serve two. Washington was also courageous, determined, and loyal. He wasn’t afraid to go to war. He even tried to fight a country stronger than America! Another reason he had those character traits was that even though at first the U.S. was losing the Revolutionary War, Washington didn’t give
