“On your marks…” My heart danced while I waited in my starting position. “Get set…” I raised my back. Pop! The gun had shot; my race had started. I pushed myself forward, starting ahead. Easily, I forgot about my worries. I focused on the rhythm of my feet which were light on the ground. I pushed myself harder to keep our second-place spot at the curve. Just after the one-hundred start, I ran as fast as I could. I gained a first-place start for our second runner. “Go,” I yelled signaling our second runner to start so I could hand the baton off. We matched strides and speed. Her left hand went back. The baton, in my right hand, met her left hand and I let go. She ran as fast as she could as I slowed my pace to an eventual stop. When they called the winners, I learned that we had won that race. As a young person, being healthy and staying in shape are always important to me. During track season, and before for a while, I condition. Conditioning not only helps me keep in shape b...

I chose these words because: parties- I chose parties because during October and the beginning of November most of the time, there are plenty of Halloween parties. pranks- I spend a good majority of my time that I am not busy on YouTube and around Halloween I see a lot of prank videos. In fact, this year my friend had said he was going to prank people on Halloween. spooky- Okay, so, I have a pretty stupid thought process considering how smart I am. I was sitting in bed and watching some stupid TV show my brothers had turned on with them. There was some noise and the entire group in the show screamed but one person said "Spooky," instead of screaming. This person then reminded me of some stupid meme type song for Halloween and I immediately wrote spooky down. Hocus Pocus- I chose this because I feel this is by far the best Halloween movie. Ever. Period. Never will there ever be a better movie. I will actually fight someone over this. Just the movie and the plot and...

Here is why I like these songs and why I put them in this playlist. Mr.Brightside- I like this song because it's very up-beat though the lyrics are kind of sad. This is song is part of this playlist because as mentioned before, it's up-beat and the kind of song you would jump up and down to. Speechless- I like this song because it's a slow but happy song. Sometimes, most of the time for me actually, more slow songs have kind of sad lyrics while I ...

Ronald Reagan once said, “We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of the ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” Another way of saying this is, we honor those who have died, or those who have served, for our country. Our veterans are special.                 My aunt was friends with a veteran from first grade on. His name was Adam Dobereiner and was born November 21 st , 1989. In his family, there was a long line of military service and after he graduated high school in 2008, he enrolled in the military in 2010. There, he graduated as a Combat Engineer. A year later he was deployed to Afghanistan on July 6 th . He died November 18 th , 2011 in Kandahar ...

Something that surprised me about copyright was how many different licences there are. Something I learned was where to get copy right free pictures. I won't use pictures from google as freely because I'm scared of being fined and because I can take better pictures anyway.

One of my favorite pictures from my walk on Friday October 18th, is this one here. It shows one of the many broken windows where I live. This pictures features the glass in a sharp and jagged pattern. From the angle I took the picture, you can see buckets and broken glass on the floor. You can also see a box overflowing with books on the floor if you look hard enough. I like this picture because of the angles on the glass. This is my second favorite picture from our walk. It shows another broken window but with a beautiful pattern carved almost into the glass.  There is white chipped paint on the window frame. Behind the window, is a wood plank. I think it compliments the white and the lighting in the photo.  I like this picture because it shows a beautiful patterned window and I love little things like that. This is my third favorite picture from our walk. I have always enjoyed playing with shadows and such in photography. My great grandfather sparked the interest; ...

We have been working with run-on sentences, and different ways to avoid writing them. Our teacher asked us to create three different memes; each containing a sentence that shows a different way to avoid run-ons. Each meme's sentence must connect to the meme.
