Olympics

     I think the Olympics is exciting and fun to watch.  I have watched the Olympics ever since I can remember.  It is something to look forward to, everyone having fun and doing what they love.  I enjoy watching athletes win medals and do a good job because I know there is a lot of training and practice put in for years before they can participate.  I think all of that training would be worth it, not only to win a medal, but participate and show everyone your skills.  The Olympics is special because it is a time when people from all over the world are together, even if they are competing against each other.  It is the only time when people set aside their differences like religion, language, skin color, and ethnicity.  I find it interesting how people from all over the world can set that aside for the Olympics, but the moment it is over, their differences "come back" and cause conflict.  When watching the Olympics, it is fun to see what people from other countries look like.  It would be such an honor to be in the Olympics.  If I could be in the Olympics, I would want to be a part of the soccer team.  I love to play soccer and it would be very cool to play in the Olympics.  Even if I had to train for years everyday, I would still do it.  To me, it wouldn't matter what event I was in, or if I won, I would be so happy to take part in the Olympics.  It would be a wonderful privilege.
