  I wrestle for the Manito wrestling team.  We wrestle in far away places.  Sometimes I do moves on people. Wrestling is a fun  sport. We have one girl on my team. I have won 5 gold medals, 12 silver medals and 3 bronze medals.  Wrestling is lots of fun!!

I play on the South Pekin Grade School Volley Ball Team. We are an all girls team. We used to have boys on our team.  But they cannot play on our team any more.  We are doing good without the boys.

I like fishing because it is good exercise. I fish at the Pekin Lagoon, Spring Lake, Illinois River, Pekin Lake, and Rice Lake. When you fish you have to be patient. You have to use the right bait too. You also have to use the right fishing poles. Some fish are very strong. I can catch Yellow-belly catfish, bass, bluegilll, croppie, bullhead, and channel cat.  By: J.P.

I like to play nintendo, video games, and computers. I think video games are  fun to play. I like to play the computer too. You can learn lots of stuff on the computer. Computers can take you were you want to be.  By: J.B.
