 I scanned the cleanly swept aisle one
last time hoping someone did not sweep
it up.  Then I saw the little toe, It was
I believe you sitting there waiting for me to find it. 
I snatched it up and rushed it to my
need to be
sister.  She was so relieved to have her
there for the
little toe back.  We put the toe on ice
ones you and waited for what seemed like hours
love.  -Barb for the ambulance.

Once she stopped, she backed up  and boomed, that is when it happened. We turned to see this truck pulling in
and noticed the big dent on the side of it. She started  bawling her eyes out. Almost filling the car up with tears.
She went out to look at her car and oh my goodness, there was a dent the size of a small bolder.  

I love this part because it has a lot of figureitive language and it’s a dramatice scene

•  We went faster around the lake
until...the boat slowly came to a
stop. Brock sunk into the water
and swam over to the boat.
• “What happened?” He asked.
• "I don’t know!" Trevor said, "…
We ran out of gas," 

- I choose to share this piece of my essay

because it shows how things can change just ........................
in a quick second. And how this can be
unpredictable.

• Football is the best thing that ever happened in my life, and it always will be. 24/7 all I
think about is football. But it takes grit to play football, you must be ready for everything
and anything all the time. When I first started football, I wasn’t ready for all the pressure
that I've learned how to deal with now. Football takes courage, love, hard work, and like I
mentioned first grit. It felt all natural when I was done, and it still does to this day, and it
forever will.

I had a gecko that I loved and worshiped. Later on

she started to have multiple health issues and I spent
months taking care and crying like a baby about it. I
spent lots of money and time taking it to the vet,
only for it to fall on its back 4 feet up have a seizure
and die. I did everything I could, and I only
could've done so much.

  There are people fighting for our
lives every day and putting their
own life on the line to keep everyone
safe and they are tired and away from
the wives, kids, moms, dads, brothers,
sisters, they must constantly be alert
and prepared to start fighting at any
moment day or night. They sleep on
the cold ground outside with little
water and food every
day because they can only pack
so much, but they must have enough

I believe that you for the whole time they are travelling.

We are so shellfish every day and we

should be grateful for
don’t always notice it. We get snacks
and big meals that are fresh every day
and always can have water and we
what you have have a warm house and a bed. And
we get mad at our mom
and dad's when we don’t get to go
shopping or we get grounded from
our phones.

I Believe In Humor
1. But anyway, let's get rid of that
cheesy stuff and talk about what I
believe. I believe in humor and
that it's in all things. There's a crazy
man trying to break in your car,
crack a joke, there's a recent death
of a relative, don’t grieve, block
it out with some dark joke if you
like those. Ok, maybe not a dark
joke, the FBI might be
listening... Anyhow let's get to
the story of why I believe that
Humor is in everything. Or as Disney
would say it, “We’re back with the
show, DU du DuN
DUUUUUUUUUN!”
I believe that honesty is

       “bye” then I hung up, I looked over at my mom
who heard everything, she had a sorrowful look on her
face then she said “do you need a hug” I shuffled over
to where her arms were extended and cried into her
shoulder. I wanted Maggie to invite me to her party but
when she didn’t, I knew we were not as good of friends
as we used to be. Maggie and I did not talk for a
while an occasional “hi” in the hall or at lunch but that
was about it. Eventually she apologized and
I forgave her. We then had a sleep over and then the
next year in fifth grade she chose other friends instead
of me, so I made two new friends and hung out with
them all year.
