``I woke up late this morning because my alarm clock did not ring. As a result, I
had to rush to get ready for school and I made a huge mess all over the house.I
missed the bus because I had to go back home to fetch my cellphone.
Consequently, I was late for school, and my lecturer was not pleased with meat all.
Due to the fact that my day had been going so badly, I was in a bad mood and I
shouted at my friends. Since I was in such a bad mood,they didn’t want to hang out
with me and they left. After they left,my day only got worse. In view of all that
happened today, I’ve decided that I need two alarm clocks instead of one, to make
sure I wake up on time in the mornings.

Snap Shot

Back in 1999 this fearless athlete posed in this football picture. In the far distance below the
cloudless sky stands an off-white stadium. Embedded in the center is large, cracked, blue,
painted, letters that spell out BISON. Beneath the old stadium are rows of worn-out bleachers
which are completely empty. Up in front stands the competitor down on one knee. As you
observe more, the sport player is wearing a blue Bison jersey sporting the number 60. To the left
above the freshly trimmed green grass that engulfs this player’s figure lays a football. In the
center of the picture, you see her pale white face and dark brown eyes. Around these features
you can not help but notice the bronzed hair; which appears to be pulled back around this
slender face. Her stern look shows how proud she is; nonetheless, all the confidence she
carries on her padded up shoulders. This unique woman is not only elegant and brave; she is
my sister, Margaret Eva Hoyt.
The Old Car

The old car slowly chugged down the street like the
caboose of a steam engine train. The car goes up the hill it
goes Ka boom , kachunk. The car is old and weathered
with rust covering the entire body like cancer consuming its
victim. Wheels and tires wobble like a drunk bum on his
way home from the bar. Hub caps are gone along with all
the mirrors and extras on the car. Black smoke flows out
the rotten tail pips like the smoke out of and old cobb pipe.
The local junk yard had seen better cars then this. The
interior was a dusty brown with holes covering almost every
square inch of the seat covers. The ceiling was hanging
down and the rust had eaten through the roof like a Billy
goat through a tin can. This old car is my old car and it is as
faithful as a good old dog by always starting and getting me
from were I need to go.
