Fruit is a very delicious food that is loved by almost all people. Children love it, adults love it, even infants love it. It is delicious at any age.

Fruit is the part of a flowering plant that comes from specific tissues, mainly one or more ovaries. Fruit is one of the ways that plants disperse their seeds. Fruit is accountable for a large fraction of the world’s agriculture, and some even have symbolic meanings. Commonly, the term fruit is generally used to mean fleshy seed structures that come from the plant. Also what many people may not know is that tons of food that we call vegetables, are actually fruit!

Not only does fruit taste good, it has fantastic health benefits. People who eat more fruit have more energy, and they get it without the crash like processed sugar has. It tastes just as good as candy and yet it is still good for you!

There are many different kinds of fruit to choose from. There are citrus, berries, melons, and the main stem fruits like apples, peaches, plums, and pears. Who knew there are so many delicious types of fruit! Best of all, you get to have two to four servings of fruit per day! That’s enough energy to get people through a long time!

Not only is fruit fun to eat, you can also pick it. A lot of fruit grows on trees and doesn’t it feel good to eat something that you hand-picked yourself?

Fruit is grown all over the world and specific places grow specific fruit. Right in my front yard of my house we have an apple tree! In the fall, we went out to the trees and picked some apples from the tree. It was so much fun! After we picked them we decided to dry them so they would last longer and then we could eat them through the winter. It was so fun eating something that we had grown from our own trees!

Not only is fruit so good and delicious by itself, there are many by-products that are made with fruit. In the culinary sense, a fruit is usually any sweet-tasting plant product, especially those associated with seeds. People turn fruit into juices, desserts, breads, smoothies and many other things. Fruits also feed many animals and insects to sustain them for life. So not only does fruit benefit us, it helps living things survive all over the world.

Fruits are probably one of my favorite foods to eat. I can take them on the go, or eat them before a sports event. It is a perfect snack for anytime of the day, any person, any place. Fruit is delicious.

Celebration Essay

By Erin Orred

My mom means a lot to me and I would have to say she is a very inspiring person to many people. She has helped me through so many things and is so caring to everyone that she meets.

I would say as a child, my mom could help me get through almost all my childhood problems. At that point in my life all my problems were minute and solvable, and after I was a happy carefree child. My mom would entertain me and encourage me to be a friend to others or a helping hand to adults.

Not only did my mom help me with dilemmas, She also taught me many things that have formed my character and built me up stronger than I could ever imagine. She has taught me to be faithful to my family and friends and be a trustworthy person. Since she is always caring and understanding towards me, that has taught me to do that same to others in need. She reaches out to others and tries to help control and fix problems without being irritating.

Not only does my mom help me build my character and face my problems, she helps me with the little things too. She will help me with my homework if I need help and she can understand it, and she’s always ready with a crazy story to get a good laugh out of me and my sister when we don’t want to do our homework. She can always brighten up my day and help me get through the hard things, even if it is taking a trip to Dairy Queen to fill our stomachs with creamy delicious ice cream. My mom will do my laundry since I have no idea how to separate the colors, and the set the right temperature to wash them in. She makes me dinner and is always ready to make a snack if I need one. My mom will also be at my every need if I am sick, and she will take care of me until I am completely well again. She can talk to me about and that needs to be talked about whether it is family, friends, or just talking.

My mom is such a great mom to me, and I think it was because she was raised so well. My grandma has the same characteristics as she does, and she definitely taught her great things. Both my mom and my grandma were raised in Christian homes and learned to love and follow God. My mom has taught me that obeying God and following his commands are the most important things in life. Although I have made many mistakes in my life my mom is always forgiving and helps me turn to what is right with the guidance of God. She knows that she has made the same mistakes as me when she is young, and she knows how to help build me up. love my mom so very much and I am so grateful for her and her wise ways. I have no idea what I would do without my mom.

I am comparing these places below this title.

Compare/Contrast Essay

There are many differences and similarities between Texas and Minnesota. Some people prefer one place over the other, but they are both great areas to live in. If Texas is where you live, Minnesota would be a comfortable change.

First off, there are a few similarities between these two states. They are obviously states in the United States of America. Both have hot summers, although the winters are opposite. Minnesota and Texas have tourist areas, such as the Mall of America in Minnesota, and Galveston Island and Corpus Christi.

On the other hand, many differences makes these states reside on the opposite sides of the spectrum. Texas has very mild winters overall and sometimes can go a few winters with no snow at all. Texas has very upscale cities and a lot of urban living areas with not very much land. If you like to go shopping, there are plenty of malls everywhere. But be careful, the crime rate in Texas is insane. Especially in the bigger main cities, Like Dallas, Austin, and Amarillo. People will pick pocket you all the time, and it doesn’t matter what. The people in Texas can be friendly, though it is more known that they are rude and narcissistic. Texas has tons of theme parks and waterparks, which attract so many people there. The population of the state is 26,403,743, which explains why they have to have so many housing areas! Texas participates in ranching instead of farming since the soil isn’t very rich and can not supply nutrients for crops. Texas leads the nation in beef which can be an exceedingly large amount. They can grow cotton though, since it is in the South and doesn’t need very much attention.

However, Minnesota is quite different from Texas. Minnesota’s winters are harsh and the amount of snow can be brutal since it is in the north. Sometimes the winter temperatures last until late May. Minnesota has mostly small populated towns, except the cities. Since they have smaller towns, the crime rate is way lower in Minnesota and the people in Minnesota are friendlier overall. Instead of amusement parks like Texas, Minnesota is more known for its country-like atmosphere. They have state fairs and small amusement parks come in like Valley Fair, but it doesn’t get near the amount of crowds as Texas. Minnesota uses the land they have for farming, and they grow corn, beans and beets in their nutrient-rich soil. The population is 5,220,393, and I would say that is accurate since the land that is there is used for mostly farming.

I would say that although there are few similarities between these states, the difference outweighs them tremendously. think that they are both great places to reside in and you will get a unique experience from both of them.
