My Favorite Hobbies Essay.

My Favorite Hobbies

       Well this essay is mostly going to be about my favorite hobbies I like to do. When I do most of my hobbies is when I am bored, or when I just feel like doing something. But not what I usually do on a typical day. Some of my favorite hobbies is doing crafts, accessories, and playing tennis.  So I am going to start this essay with art.

   

       My first favorite hobby is making crafts. I don't just do crafts whenever I am bored, I do them whenever I feel like it. I do different types of things like pots, fake flowers, pillows, and whatever I think it's cute and that matches with my room. The reason I do this is because I like to do art, not like drawing but crafts. My mom and my sister kind of inspired me to do this because they were always creative with all kinds of stuff. My sister was creative with drawing and decorating stuff (she was kind of fashionable). My mom was always creative in everything; she even helped with both of my sisters to decorate a little bit more on my both sister’s quinceañeras. So that’s my number one thing I like to do as a hobby, making crafts.

       My second favorite hobby is making accessories. I chose it as my second favorite thing because I don't pretty much do a lot of accessories. Another reason is because I do it when I am bored or I don't have anything to do. I like to make accessories because I think it makes me more fashionable. I like to do bags, necklaces, bracelets, scarves, and more. Both of my sisters had been fashionable, but not a lot. So I kind of got the example of them. Well I kind of got an idea with my mom too because she has made pretty dresses and lots of other stuff. So that is why I chose it as my second favorite hobby.

        My third favorite hobby is tennis. I chose it as the last choice because I know just a little bit of tennis. I started to play on the summer vacation. Tennis is fun; it is just that I know what my sister has taught me so far. Well I think I am a good tennis player so far because I am just a beginner and I had beaten my own sister. So it is kind of easy once you have practiced well. Another thing I chose it as a hobby is because my sister likes to go walking mostly to everywhere so she makes me walk to the tennis courts and that helps me make my life healthier and stronger. My sister is like a coach to me because she helps me to stretch and gives me secrets about tennis. Even if I mess up she shows me what I did wrong, so I can see kind of my mistake I did and she tells me what to do instead of doing that mistake, again. The part I don't like about tennis is that when I have to stop because they had missed the ball. So that is why I also chose it as my last choice.

        Now those are the reasons I chose them as my favorite hobbies. So now that you have read the reasons, they are my favorite hobby is because I think crafts and accessories are cool and important to me because they help you live longer and because you keep creating and creating. Tennis help you be healthier and stronger because it’s a sport and because it sometimes make you run for the ball like all the way to the edge or somewhere far.

Libya's News

Libya's News

        Libya is an oil rich nation in North Africa. But on February 2011, in many Libyan cities, the Arab world interrupted them. It was a perfect plan for them, one reason is that Colonel Qaddaf came with a lot of violence. The rebels faced the possibility of being outgunned and it seemed to be like a mismatched  war. Then Colonel Qaddaf's army marched 100 miles to the West. The United Nations Security Council voted to authorize the military action.

          On March 19 the American and European forces began to create a war. Colonel Qaddaf 's son was moved to power but they weren't unable to make progress on their mission. In Washington a conflict briefly affected Obama because It did not rise to the level of hostilities and therefore it was not  necessary. By  late May the weeks of NATO bombing went on the side of the rebels. By August the rebels were making territorial in the country's East and West. Colonel Qaddaf took some calls to spike the NATO air assault.

     

          Six months from fighting ,within a matter of day an assault on Tripoli that unfolded at a breakneck pace. By the night of August  21 rebels surged into the city and leaving a street full of celebration. The rebels struggled in the days that  followed to restore order and services to Tripoli, while Colonel Qaddafi's whereabouts remained unknown.
