I tell myself I have to turn my homework in, or I need to read this page, and study so I can pass my test to play Friday night.…
Shaquille O'Neal once said, "There are seven days in the week and someday isn't one." Without a YMCA most likely kids will say, "Oh I'll be able to practice someday," and they won't because they don’t have anywhere to practice. Most kids are never able to practice the sport or things they love and that causes them to never even get the chance to achieve their dreams. The community of Otto-Eldred should consider building a YMCA. First of all, a YMCA would be a good way to keep people active and healthy.…
At one point in their career, most music students are met with a rather difficult choice: whether to join concert band or a symphonic orchestra.

Plato, a famous Greek Philosopher once said, “I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.” As a society, we thrive off the arts, most specifically music.

Why would society deny their children the amazing opportunity to learn something this special?…
