What Moves U Student Essays

Here are some other excerpts from the essays of D.N. Fell Middle School Students on how they try to stay fit:

" There are numerous ways I can stay fit...I think it is important to exercise 60 minutes or more every day. I think it is important if you are motivated; I stay motivated by thinking positive all the time." - Aja, Grade 7

" I stay physically fit by playing sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball and football and going to dance school." - Jessica, Grade 7

"The thing that motivates me to live a healthy life is my great-grandmother because she is 90 years-old and she is talking and walking like she is 26 years-old all because she stayed healthy when was younger. I want to be just like her." - Miaan, Grade 6

" I played sports like soccer and swimming because soccer is exercising your legs and swimming is exercising your arms. " - Thanh, Grade 6

" I'm motivated by my parents. They always push me to do my best. Without them, I'd be nowhere." - Patricia, Grade 7.
