Most Inspiring Teacher

I nominated Miss Kelly as the most inspiring teacher because she's fabulous. She encourages students to try their best and rewards us with stickers and fudge. She is also really laid back and helps us complete all our work. We can relate to her and she is easy to talk to.

Miss Kelly makes english extremely fun as well as educational at the same time. For most of us it's our favourite subject. She is one of the best teachers at Alfriston College because she treats all of us equally and makes learning enjoyable unlike a lot of other teachers. She gives us a good amount of homework and helps us with all our assessments. Miss Kelly is by far the most inspirational teacher I have ever had.

What Sport Should Be Included In The Olympics

I think Cheerleading should be included in the Olympics. It is one of the most competitive and athletic sports I've seen. I'm a cheerleader and it's frustrating how many people dismiss it as a sport when I know how difficult it really is. Putting it in the Olympics will give Cheerleading the recognition it deserves and also make the Olympics a lot more interesting. Not only is it nerve wracking waiting to find out who has won but it's also exhilarating watching the amazing tumble passes and crazy stunts. It's also a lot better to watch than many other sports like dressage, rhythmic gymnastics and shooting.

If Cheerleading was in the Olympics cheerleaders would have a lot more to strive for. It would also make people take the sport seriously. Right now people think the sport is just for girls and gay guys who dance around in skirts although it is a lot more than that. Making it an Olympic sport would prove everyone who doesn't consider it a sport wrong. Cheerleaders put in so much effort and they deserve to be able to compete in the Olympics.
