Tennis

Tennis is probably the sport that Ive enjoyed the most in my highschool careeer as a student. I started playing my sophomore year when a bunch of my friends convinced me to switch from track to tennis. Being involved with the school tennis team taught me how a sort can be both individual and team based at the same time. By far, the best part about being on the tennis was the bus ride to any away macth. We stopped at a McDonalds or a Wendy's almost every time we went to an away match. Another good thing about the bus rides were that they were good times to talk to the friends that you never really got to see very often. Overall, joining the tennis team was one of the best decisions I made in highschool.

Facebook

Facebook, and other social cyber networks, can be both good and bad. Facebook is good for staying in touch with your Friends when you leave high school and/or college, or move to a different location. It is relatively easy to communicate with your Friends, and it can be as private or as public as you want it to be. Although facebook can be good, it is also used for malicious intents, such as cyber bullying. Some people might argue that if a person is being bullied over facebook or other sources of Internet communication, that they should simply turn off their computer and the person that is being bullied won't be bullied anymore, and I would agree with them. There is so much publicity about how cyber bullying is occurring over facebook, and some argue that it leads to suicide. If a person is truly being bullied over  a cyber network, the easiest solution is to simply not use the cyber network anymore. It kind of makes me wonder why people still get on the cyber networks that they are being bullied on.
