Water

Water. I hear that word almost everyday. Either someone in the house would ask "Can you get me some water?" or my mom would tell me to drink 'water' everyday. I have learned that water is very important and necessary for our health and well-being. As a person who love to play sports, I encountered some experience regarding the great value of water for humans. When I play in basketball tournaments at my middle school (DACS), I often thirst and longed for  water when I lose my endurance. In some cases, I was over dehydrated that I felt pain in the chest, and it's just horrible to the point I felt dizzy and tired and have to get out of the game.

As I mentioned earlier, water is very important for our body. Water is a great resource for our planet as well. Our planet is covered with more than or about 70% of water*.All living things like plants, and animals need water for survival. Water is also the source for the growth of civilizations since history. So how does all these relate water and freedom? I believe that in order to have freedom, you need to survive. And in order to survive and have good health, you need water.

  1. Nia, I am interested in knowing what sport or sports you play. Do you play there at AAA, or did you play them at a previous school?

    Today (Monday) in class we talked about plagiarism and how to avoid it. You can fix the plagiarism issue in this post by including a link to where you found information about how much water the planet is made from (you mentioned 70%). Was the website where you found that information credible? How can we know?

    I liked your link between water and freedom. We will learn more about that in the days and weeks to come.

  3. I like how you linked water and history, and with your everyday life.
    This was a very nice blog!
    My constructive comments are: maybe you should tell a little more about the freedom of water and how water brings freedom. Also, think about people in other countries around the world and how water relates to them.
