Essay by Jack Wilton, St. Catharine School, Spring Lake

NJ is the best state for many reasons. It has more diverse museums, sports, foods, and people than any other state. These are my reasons why we are the best state in the United States.

If you would like to get away from the city go to the Vinelands because you can go see the most woods as possible. If you're sick of the woods go to the city. We have two big ones Jersey City and Trenton. There are a lot of cool buildings in Trenton like the State House and courts. If you just want to relax a nice day along the beach, you have the whole East coast. Highly recommend Belmar because it also has other great things to like Coney Waffles, the big lemon stand and much more. Want to have a little fun, go to Point Pleasant there are a lot of fun games like the claw, Pacman and Galaga. They also have other fun attractions like carousels, and an aquarium. The Aquarium has a lot of interesting things like a miniature petting zoo, penguins, sharks, and other cool marine life.

Other people may say that California the best state, or Texas is the best, but what do they have that we don't? Just because they're bigger who says they're better? I say they're worse. California is warmer, they don't have winter. Texas is bigger but not as geographically diverse. These are my reasons why we are the best. GO NJ!!!
