This I Believe in Bowling!!! by Sarah Dowding

Have you ever been home on a Saturday night wondering what to do? Then you get a text on your phone and you get ask if you want to go bowling? You reply back "Totally"! I'll meet you up at the bowling alley in "ten minutes". I believe in bowling for many reasons. I believe in bowling because you get exercise, you enjoy a social life and it's an athletic sport.

Now,"let's roll the ball" into the reason why I believe in bowling. Wow! I've been bowling for two hours and my arm is tired. That right there shows that you are getting exercise. It makes you feel that you're working muscles in your arms that you've never worked before. People think that when you are bowling your're not exercising. Don't listen to them. Every move you make in bowling is exercise. From the moment you pick up the bowling to the moment you throw the ball down the lane, it is exercise.

"Let's slide" into how you get a social life from bowling. People believe you just go bowling with your friends to maintain a social life. That's not always true. I've been on the Seward High Bowling Club for all four years of High School. Bowling with my team mates is one aspect of my social life. Communicating with the coaches is another. A big social life experience is when we go to different bowling alleys for the meets, we talk with all the different teams that are there. When we mingle with the other teams at the meet, we're making new friends and a bigger social experience happens.

Now, "let's total the score" into how bowling is an athletic sport. I've always wonder why people don't think bowling is an athletic sport? I'm here to prove them wrong! Bowling is to an athletic sport! We do the same things as other sports. We get out there and practices and go to meets and compete. It takes physical skill! Also, bowling is a "pro" sport just like professional football, baseball and many other sports.

"Let's get geared up" for the conclusion. I've told you some of the reasons why I believe in bowling. The reasons I went over where you get exercise; you get a social life and showing it being an athletic sport. I hope after you read this, you'll see my point on why I believe in bowling. Bowling is my favorite sport in all time and I invite you to take your family bowling soon! I believe in bowling and I know you will too! "Strike" it lucky at bowling!
