K1. Picture

It was late in the evening on August 19th 1807. Little Johnny wanted to go for a late night walk along the river, so he asked his father Jerry to take him. Jerry was excited to do this. He loves late night walks. So they get there coats on and head out the door. Jerry grabs a lantern to help guide their path. They proceed to walk along the water. Then all of a sudden Jerry notices a ship. This ship came out of nowhere. It was not there when they first started to walk along the water. It was sort of as if a ghost put it there or it was a ghost ship. Little Johnny was beginning to get frightened by the ship so he ran away. Jerry was mesmerized by the ship so he didn't notice Johnny running until it was too late. When Jerry finally snapped out of his trance he realized that little Johnny was gone. Jerry looked around to try and find him. Then he heard a faint scream from the water. There was a little boat heading towards the big ship. Jerry saw little Johnny being held down and put onto the ship. Jerry didn't know what else to do so he dove into the water. He swam as fast as he could. The anchor on the ship was beginning to rise so Jerry grabbed it and got a free ride up into the ship. The captain of the ship was nowhere to be found. Then Jerry found a sword and grabbed it. He ran up some stairs to where the wheel is and he grabbed it and spun it all the way around to turn it around. That’s when the actual captain came up and stabbed him and threw him into the water and they made little Johnny the successor.

J1. Hero

To me a hero is someone who does something good for the community. This hero doesn't need to have superpowers or drive a super vehicle. Dictionary.com's definition of hero is "a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." Think about this though. If you saw a person with a cape and could fly you would call them a hero. If you stood a person who saved a cat from a tree next to superman you would want to take pictures with superman and not the person who was a "hero." Imagine if you were a superhero though. It would be so sweet. You could probably fly around and shoot lasers from your eye holes. You couldn't get hurt by anything or anyone. You wouldn't have to deal with anything. You wouldn't need a job because people would give you stuff for free. There is another really big plus side to being a hero. You can wear a cape around and nobody will judge you or bother you about it. It would be pretty risky to be any kind of hero. Whether you have superpowers or you just help people. No matter what you do you have some risks. If you have superpowers there is always that one thing that can get you. A perfect example is superman and kryptonite. If you’re just a hero then anyone can pretty much take you out. You could get hit by a car or fall off of a balcony, and you would be done. So yes being a superhero would be really cool and awesome but would it really be worth it? You couldn’t live a normal life. You would always have to be hiding from the world and you would have to worry about your enemies finding your loved ones. So basically what I’m saying is don’t be a superhero.

I4. Choice

Hello, my name is Jake. I am going to tell you a little story today. Let’s set the mood. It's a dark evening in winter time but there is no snow on the ground currently but it gets very dark very early. Alright so imagine the time is approximately 10:43 pm Eastern Standard time. There is a slight breeze that sends chills down your spine. You can slightly hear a coyote in the distance. It is howling at the full moon above you. Can you picture that? Well forget all of that. This story takes place in summer out in California. A man named Chongo was taking a nice little cruise in a Bentley. This Bentley is a 2013 continental Supersport that is blacked out. It's a convertible with black leather interior. So to say the least this is a luxurious car. A man might even kill for it. The ironic thing is that Chongo stole the car from a man name Mr. Black. Mr. Black is a billionaire who hates to spend money. He could buy almost every Bentley in the word, but he wants his back. So he decided to pursue Chongo. Mr. Black ran over to his blacked out 2013 Boss 302 Mustang. He jumped into the driver’s seat and revved the engine. He threw the car into first gear and took off. He was racing to catch up to Chongo. Chongo had a head start, but he was obeying the speed limits. Mr. Black didn’t care about anyone else of anything he just wanted his car back. He could see his Bentley in the distance. Chongo saw the Mustang coming but he just thought that he wanted to race. So Chongo slammed down the gas pedal and was off. They were both going close to 150 miles per hour. Chongo started to slow down and Mr. Black shifted down a gear and slammed the brakes and drifted right in front of Chongo. Chongo slammed the brakes and turned his wheel to the left and started to roll. The Bentley rolled right over the Mustang but Mr. Black was okay. Mr. Black stopped his car and got out. He walked over the Chongo and he was crawling out of the totaled Bentley. Mr. Black only had one thing to say. “Thank you for my car back.”

I3. Highlight of my break

There were many highlights of this break. I think the biggest highlight was probably New Year’s eve to New Year’s day. I went over to my cousin Jake's house. He lives in Lancaster. We invited our friend Jake Lezynski who is related to Mitch. So we had three Jakes in one house. It was cool then we left to go pick up Lezynski's girlfriend Krista. Well we picked her up and then headed off to tops to purchase snacks and soda for the fine evening ahead of us. We purchased Salt and Vinegar chips, two Red bulls, a 8 pack of blue Gatorade, and Mountain Dew. The only problem with us going to the store is we act a little reckless and we run around and throw stuff. It's a very fun time. We were riding around in the carts and I used it as like a scooter. I tried to drive the old people ride around things but it wouldn't work. I was truthfully upset a little bit because I was super excited to roll around looking “pretty fly for a white guy.” I had my dreams crushed. Stupid Tops. So after we caused a whole bunch of messes and reckless behavior we decided we should cash out and head home. On the way out we saw a claw machine so Lezynski tried showing off to Krista and played the game. He lost and wasted 50 cents. Then I stepped up to the machine and told them I would win. They all laughed and I showed them. I inserted my 50 cents and grasped the joy stick type thing. I moved it over until I saw the perfect thing for me to grab. I pressed the little red button and the claw went down. It grabbed a Betty Boop plush doll. It raised it up and dropped it into the little hole and I pulled it out with Victory! I won on my first try. So after that we decided to go and buy Little Caesars pizza. I had to pay for the drinks and snacks so my cousin paid for the zaa. That’s what we call pizza. So we get that and head back to Jake’s house. Shortly after that my girlfriend arrived at Jake’s house. We eat the pizza and watched Despicable Me and played scrabble. After the ball dropped we watched Pitch Perfect. Then after that we watched Shrek. Then we basically all went to sleep. That is the highlight of my break.

I2. Bucket list

I have many things on my bucket list at the current moment. The top three I can think of are 1.)Walk Abbey Road. Just like the Beatles did. 2.) Swim with Dolphins. 3.) Throw a party in the back of a moving semi. So for the first one. If you listen to the Beatles it's a given that you would like to walk over Abbey Road just to say you have. I'm not going to go to in depth with that one. The second one. Dolphins are so cool. I would love to be in a pool with them in Florida just swimming around and chilling whit dolphins. I would grab on to the dorsal fin and let it take me for a ride. It would do some flips and stuff and would be so sweet. I just used the search engine Google. It turns out swimming with Dolphins is a common thing in Florida. It's not that expensive. I think I might need to plan for a day to go to Florida to swim with dolphins. What's the worst that could happen? I mean I guess maybe they could attack me. Or I could get put in the wrong tank and get eaten by a shark. Anyways. My third thing on my bucket list is to throw a party in a moving semi truck. It would have generators in it supplying power for all of the lights and the music. We would have a DJ and of course a professional driver to keep us safe. It would get crazy and I am planning on there being about 100 people running around in the little semi. I expect a couple of fights to break out and possibly a few injuries. I could see someone falling out of the back of the truck and potentially dying, but it would be so much fun.

I1. New Years Resolution

It is the New Year 2013. It's a fresh start. The best time to try something new whether it is losing weight, eating healthy, going for a jog, or anything. I usually don't do New Year’s resolutions but this year I want to try to work out and not just sit around like I usually do. I also am thinking I want to try and learn how to play the guitar. I have had a guitar for years, and I've never learned how to play it. It literally sits in my closet gathering dust. I bought it out of an impulse purchase. I have strings and picks and everything I just never put the time into trying on how to learn to play. The guitar practicing is a bigger one for me. It's something I have been wanting to do for a while now. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere with it. I won't join a band or anything it would just be a cool thing to know how to do. Just if I was bored one day bust out the guitar and just play it.  It's a cool green and black guitar. It's not a real expensive one because I bout it when I was in like 6th grade so 100 dollars was a lot to me. I really want to learn how to play. I also want to get in shape. I might start going for jogs or doing a couple of pushups a day and maybe some sit ups. I just want to be fit and not the weakest one in the group. I'm in alright shape but I don't do anything so my size is all thanks to my metabolism. It's very good. I can eat a bunch of food and not gain any weight. I don't want to just rely on my metabolism anymore and become fit. So by the end of 2013 I want to be able to play the guitar and be in shape.
