If I were to have a super power…

If I had any superpower of the word I would either have teleportation or time travel.

I would choose teleportation because you would not have to worry about being late mainly ever because before you can say hola yo soy …  you would already be in the destination you wished to be at. For example if there was two important events you needed to be at but they were mainly straight after each other you could quickly think of where you wanted to go next then, bam!, you would be there.

Now time travel is sort of similar to teleportation but a totally different thing at the same time. I think we can all agree that time travel would be a pretty awesome thing to be able to do, I think this because you would be able to go into the future 10 yrs, 20 yrs or any number before or after that and see what the future holds for your life, but if you went back in time you would have to be careful because if you were to change to many things or even a single thing  it might mess up who you today and that could get quite confusing!

Good day.

 

Why do we do the JHC exchange each year and every year when all we are doing is spending more time, money and effort on one thing when we could be using it on something else? Every year we do the JHC [James Hargest College] exchange doing a wide selection of sports such as hockey, netball ,football plus many more. 

 

First of all, heaps of families have to welcome a total stranger into their house and spend money on more food. Families could be spending that money on other things that are more helpful for them like food, transportation and clothes. They also have to make sure their billet eats enough, is happy  about staying at their house and feels welcome, is at their games on time and a whole lot more

 

Secondly, I think the disco at the end of the week excludes the people who did the quiz and dodgeball. I know it does not go towards the shield but they still competed against JHC, did they not?  Also what about the people who did not have a billet or play a sport but were still on the sidelines for mainly each and every sport watching and cheering on for the school.

 

Lastly, I believe that James Hargest exchange is WAY too competitive because for weeks everyone tries their hardest trialing for all the sports they are good at and love to play. For the netball the yr 7 & 8 teams were basically the same top teams for the 7 & 8  teams for each Saturday so other people do not get a chance to play.. WIth all the other sports I do not know how the trials worked but I know heaps of people put a lot of work into trying to get into teams but working away disappointed about not getting in the teams.

 

All in all I think James Hargest should not go on any further for all the reasons above.Being too competitive, too much of a hassle with time and money and it excludes people from the disco even though they did something to help by cheering their friends on or being in a sport that doesn’t go toward the shield.
