It was a stormy rainy day in Mississippi and 7th grade Jerimiah was walking to school all nervous about turning in his “ homework”. Jerimiah had to walk to school because he woke up late. His dad John has to wake up at 4:00 am to go to work so he has no idea that Jerimiah has been over sleeping. He’s running as fast as he can through the rain so he wont get that wet and make it on time to school. The sad part about this is that he was 1 minute late for school.
Jerimiah STEPPED INTO THE SCHOOL. THE PRINCIPAL WAS WAITING THERE FOR LATE STUDENTS TO ARRIVE. THE PRINCIPAL SAYS “ YOU’RE LATE GET TO CLASS NOW!” He was rolling his eyes at the principle because he already he was running late!
He went to Math class first and the teacher, Mrs. Bon, was collecting algebra homework. The students were all supposed to turn it in today. When the teacher came around to collect the algebra assignment every one had the assignment except Jerimiah. Do you know what the consequence was for the missing assignment ? It was a homework slip. In case you guys did not know homework slips is a slip you get when you did not do your homework that was due that day.
After when Jerimiah got the homework slip he was upset with himself so he brought it home and showed his dad. Jerimiah got upset because he thought he was gonna get a grounded or his phone taken away and he loves his phone . He has everything on his phone; Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Dubsmash. Were you guys even wondering if Jerimiah got kicked out of a sports team? Lucky for Jerimiah he did not get kicked out of the basketball team. (You do not get kicked out of any school activites until you get suspended.)
When he showed his dad the homework slip his dad said “I am gonna let you slide and next time you get one there will be a consequence”. So he did all his homework that night because Jerimiah hates consequences .
Jerimiah went to school the next day and he was all ready and all excited to turn in his homework to the teacher. He was even on time!!! He got his books for class and started to head to all his morning classes. His morning classes were: Science at 8:15 – 8:45, Math: 8:45-9:30, Social Studies : 9:30- 10:30. When he went to math class the teacher walked around the class to collect the students homework…..and guess what ? He had it! Then came Science class, and he surprisingly had his homework ! Next he went to Social Studies. He was on a good path on his homework so far and was getting all excited about turning in his homework. He looked in his binder with a ☺ on his face. Jerimiah opened his Social Studies folder and looked for that assignment and he realized that he did not have it. Jerimiah felt disappointed when he did not have his assignment. “I left my homework at home” Jerimiah said sadly. “I will call your dad “The teacher said . “Jerimiah replied ” Ok because I really did it . You can ask my teachers too.” The teacher felt bad for Jerimiah because he said he was telling the truth. His Social studies teacher said “its ok just turn it in tomorrow.“ Jerimiah took a deep breath and said “that was a close one”. The next day he went to Social Studies and he had that worksheet.
The moral of this story is to listen to your parents because they know what’s best for you and you then feel proud of yourself because you accomplished doing you’re work….be excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Yesterday was a wacky day when I woke up and had breakfast. I always go downstairs and do gymnastics. When I was doing gymnastics my brother came downstairs and saw me practicing my handstands. He was very curious when he saw me practicing. My brother asked me “ Can you please show me how to do a handstand”. At first I was very unstable about teaching my brother how to do a handstand but then I had the confidence of showing him how to do a handstand. So the first thing we did to learn a handstand is practicing on the door. When he put his feet in the air I flipped them against the door. We kept on doing that until he understood the concept of flipping your feet over. Once he felt like he understood he concept I let him try it himself. I told him “if you can do a handstand I will give you a 1dollar.” That kept him motivated . He tried, tried and tried. 10:45 pm. Still trying. My mom said “come to bed guys its late.” My brother tried one more time and surprisingly he did it I was happy for him. I gave him 1 dollar and we went to bed.
To go to college Pass the boring classes But still get the help I need to go to college Stop all the playing so I can get my education And get that flash mob out my face But I mind my business so I can pass And set my goals and go off to college
Over weight and large I hear No tears and no fear The names and frames They make me feel something I cant explain The screams and shouts So we can hear what they’re all about Sense they’re big and bad Not noticing if it hurts someone deep inside But they don't care cuz they’ve got pride
I’m not beautiful I say My hair My bright light skin With a shallow tone My long feet and big eyes That's not beauty They say
But you know I feel beautiful Not perfect I say Looking in the mirror everyday Not today Today was different Today I smiled No I didn't cry I told myself that I am beautiful No matter what
BEGINNING: I woke up in the morning feeling tense with butterflies in my stomach and had my game face on for the big game. I got all my stuff ready and was ready to go. My mom dropped me off at the park and I got there very early so I put my stuff away in a locker .I went outside with my friends for a bit and we played around on the swings. We were taking pictures and putting them on snapchat like typical teenagers would do. Then like an hour passed and more of my friends came so we had to get ready to start, so we went to the lockers and changed. We obviously kept fooling around until we got in trouble because we were about to start the game. Then we got into the water and we did a couple of warm ups before the game and then we started to play. I was very tense but my friend Alexa kept telling me that everything is going to be fine and not worry about anything. The first 6 people got called in and the game started. We scored 2 goals in less than 15 seconds so everybody started screaming and clapping. I got in the water and it was pretty cold but I just kept swimming and everything was fine. Brenda scored a goal which made it 3-1. We won that game and we got to go to the next round. We all jumped in the pool and hugged and splashed each other in excitement.
MIDDLE: after several games that have past (like 2) we were pretty hungry but we couldn’t eat anything to heavy because then we might throw up in the pool and no one wanted that to happen so instead of risking the chances of having one of us throw up we bought one sandwich and 2 bags of chips and like 5 Gatorade’s and we all took turns taking bites of the sandwich and we were at the locker rooms eating.
After several games (like 2) that have past we were finally pretty hungry and decided to go get something to eat. None of us wanted to eat something heavy because we didn’t want to risk any one of us to throw up in the pool. So instead we bought 1 sandwich 2 bags of chips and 5 Gatorade’s. Meanwhile there was a boys basketball game in the gymnasium so we went and sat to watch the game for 10 minutes. Later on we went out to sit on the deck and watched the rest of the games and took pictures while we waited for our turn.
We kept on taking pictures during that time because we were bored, and we would also do random stuff that would make all of us laugh like crazy. After we finished eating we went out to the pool deck and sat on the floor with our coach and we were talking and watching the other games. Later on it was our turn to go up against the other team that had lost and we took our shorts of and did a couple of drills and the game started, it was an intense game but in the end we won! And we got up to the 3rd round, which were the top 3 teams that made it in the end.
END: it was the 2nd to last game to determine who will go up against the next team to determine who will win 1st place and we were neck to neck against the team we were very confident that we were going to win against the other team. The score was 4 to 5 and we were winning and there was only 5 seconds left on the timer so we were pretty confident that we were going to win so we kind of laid low and then one of the girls from the other team swam really fast and stole the ball and she scored and we had lost.my team mates were sitting on the floor by the pool with a frown on their faces because we had lost We were pretty sad that we didn’t win because we really wanted to go to the finals against our rival team. So then after we lost we took pictures with the whole team and coach and later on some of us stayed and watched the games and had fun
Once upon a time there was a mouse, an owl, and a lion. The mouse was running. And the lion was running too. The owl wants to eat the mouse. "Screeeeech!" The mouse is with the lion. The lion grabbed the mouse and said "Do you want to get eaten?" The mouse said "Do not kill me! The lion said "Sorry! I will not eat you. I will save you whatever you do. I will do anything for you. I will let you go because you are my best friend." The mouse was happy to see his children when the lion let him go.
"Help! Help! It's an animal trap." The rope tripped the lion and tied his leg up. The lion was trapped after all. The mouse was wondering what was the rope for. He went to save the lion by chewing the rope. And he finally saved the lion from danger. The danger had stopped and he was free to go now. Happily ever life.

It was the 2nd to last game to determine who will go up against the next team to determine who will win 1st place.

The Way They See It
ReplyDeleteOver weight and large
I hear
No tears and no fear
The names and frames
They make me feel something I cant explain
The screams and shouts
So we can hear what they’re all about
Sense they’re big and bad
Not noticing if it hurts someone deep inside
But they don't care cuz they’ve got pride
I’m not beautiful I say
My hair
My bright light skin
With a shallow tone
My long feet and big eyes
That's not beauty
They say
But you know
I feel beautiful
Not perfect I say
Looking in the mirror everyday
Not today
Today was different
Today I smiled
No I didn't cry
I told myself that I am beautiful
No matter what
My Beauty…Your Beauty
Is beautiful
