" It was he best of times, it was the worst of times" - Charles Dickens

This quote relates to high school because there is good and bad times in high school. There's the good times like meeting your best friends, going to school dances and football games, forming a bond with people that could be there for you for the majority of your life, and maybe even find your first love. There's also the bad times like failing assignments, heartbreaks, drama, mean teachers and principals, strict rules, and losing loved ones. At the end, you will remember all the bad things, but you'll also remember the good things that came out of it. The good and the bad will always balance each other out. If anything bad happens, you will get something from it and it will help you learn your wrongdoings. There will be rough times in high school, but there will always be good things as well.

                         

                               

Magical Smartphone

Apps that should come on a magical smartphone would be a calendar app, an internet app, a mail app, and a photo app. The calendar app would take you to whatever day you choose, whether it's in the past, present, or future. If you ever want to relive a day or even see what's going to happen before it happens, then you could do it. You could also go back to a day to see something that happened in history or maybe your family's past. The internet app would know what you want to look up and when you open it, it already has it pulled up for you. The mail app would send me actual pieces of mail, but they would be like mini pieces of mail. If you get a lot of emails a day, you could only get the mail you want to and just look at the rest on your phone at a later time. The photo app would be able to print pictures from your phone. You could print them and it would print them automatically to you. These apps would be really convenient and very helpful to some people.

The Shark Forest

I woke up in the middle of a forest. I come to see it's not normal forest. I sat up just in time to see a shark swimming in mid-air. I then stand up to see hundreds on sharks just swimming around this forest. I try to stay as quiet as possible so no shark notices my presence. I slowly stand up and start to walk. My luck, I step on a pile of dead leaves and soon, I have hundreds of eyes on me. I turn around to see another person standing behind me. We both just stare at each other waiting for someone to move. We make eye contact and both darted in different directions. Confusing the sharks, we both got away. I kept running and running trying my hardest to escape the sharks territory. I'm stopped when I almost run off a cliff. I turn around to see an empty forest. I feel relieved until a shark swims from out of the forest next to me. Startled, I back up falling down the steep cliff. All I remember next is waking up in English class, relieved of what I escaped from.

Things That Comfort Me

Things that comfort me are my teddy bear and blanket, my best friends, my dogs, and my parents. My teddy bear and blanket are comforting because I grew up with them. They take me back to my childhood and are basically my safe place. They make me feel at home and safe. My best friends comfort me because I know I can text one of them at any time and they will be there. They are the people I tell anything and everything to and I know I can trust. They will always be there to listen to me and help me through my problems.  My dogs comfort me because ,usually, they sense that I'm not feeling okay and need someone. They will come up to me and sit on my lap and just let me pet them and that always makes me feel better. My parents are probably the things that comfort me the most because I know they wouldn't anything ever happen to me or my siblings. They do their best to keep all of us out of trouble and they try to get us everything we want. I can also go to them with problems and they will always make me feel better. They can get me out of any situation I'm in and they comfort me will all the things they can possibly do. I am more than grateful for having them and they are the people who comfort me and the ones I know I can rely on.

I am from a big family, where we have as much fun as toddlers making a tower of toys. 

I am from watching my parents, looking up to them as roles models.

I am from watching my sister grow up and playing pointless games with my brother.

I am from the times I stay up late with my sister just so we can spend time together.

I am from the little things my mom and I do together, like staying home and having fun like two teenage best friends. 

I am from my best friends who complete me and showed me what true friendship really is.

I am from my teddy bear and blanket that I still can't live without.

I am from taking pictures which will never change, even when time passes.

I am from staying home on Sunday afternoons to watch the Browns games with my dad.

I am from orange and brown, the colors of the Browns, who I will always be a fan of, whether they win or lose.

I am from all mistakes which have pulled me down, but I am also from success that I worked hard for, which has picked me back up.

If Aliens Were Real

The day after I found out everyone else was an alien, the first thing I do was think. I would wonder if I was an alien as well. I would think that I couldn't be the only human on the planet. If I am human, is there any other humans as well? After I thought, I would look for signs of other human life forms. Even though I had no hope in finding any, I would still look. If I found another human, we could stay together and work as a team to survive with the aliens. If I didn't find another human, I would attempt to stay out of the alien's way completely. All I will be able to think about is my family. How could they have been aliens the whole time and I never knew this? I wonder if they ever knew I was human and just treated me like an alien to fit in. I wondered what would happen if other aliens found out about me being human. Would they ignore it or not rest until I'm gone? I don't know if I would be accepted or not. These questions will be running through my mind all day with the free time I have. I would be scared to do anything, like find food, water, and even go around the aliens. Every move I make can make me seem different from the aliens. All I know is that no one can find out about me being human or else who knows what would happen.

The best food I've ever eaten has to be French fries with bacon and cheese on them. They give me the same feeling as when I see Johnny Manziel or Jordan Cameron. They make me as happy as when I watch the Browns win a game. They give me the feeling of when I see Colleen and Jillian. As you can tell, all of those things make me very happy. Watching the Browns win a game will make any Cleveland fan happy. Seeing Johnny Manziel or. Jordan Cameron makes me happy because they inspire me and they're both great players. They're also really cute and that makes me happy too. Seeing Jillian and Colleen make me happy because they're my best friends and what makes someone happier than seeing their best friends. Eating French fries with cheese and bacon on them makes me as happy as all of those things. If I could put happiness and joy into a food, it would turn out to be cheesy bacon French fries. The taste of French fries with cheese and bacon is inexplicable.
