Accidents

This is the worst thing in America right now as far as automobiles.People think that this can never happen to them, but all of a sudden it just happens.This tragedy has one terrifying element, the element of surprise.This not only happens in automobiles but in all kinds of things. Things like leaving your project at home, spilling your coffee on your boss, and selling your sister's phone.Those are all accidents and they all have the element of surprise.I don't want to sound like a boring teacher,but this is a major tragedy that's happening all over America and the world.Even though we think it will never happen to us, that everything will be ok, that nothing matters anymore, it happens and there's nothing we can do about it.Some lives may be even taken when an accident happens.Even though most of it's not our fault, making stupid desicions can cause an accident to happen and even take a life.Stuff like drunk driving and not paying attention, is one of the main causes of accidents.Teenagers that are reading this are probably thinking this guy's a loser.Well I may be a loser now, but when you start driving a car and your drunk and you have an accident and die, we'll see how much of a loser i am now for doing the right thing and standing out for what I believe is true.

Books are awesome!Books take you through a world of wonder and imagination.I have 5 Favorite books in particular.I will now do a countdown for you.

Number 5: Ginger Pye

Ginger Pye is a great story to me because it tells of a boy and his dog that get split up and the boy has to solve a mystery to find him. The author does a great job making the story so real and lifelike.

Number 4:Harry Potter( the series)

I love this book because it displays so many things such as magic, drama, mystery, and love. When an author combines all these things into one series, it makes for a great book and a great seller.

Number 3: The Contender

Since i love sports, this book was awesome.It told a story of a boy who trained to be a professional fighter and had to go through obstacles of family and friends.This story has a motivational motto that says,"Don't give up no matter what gets in your way".

Number 2: Shiloh

This is a awesome story about a boy fighting all the evil people and their ways.In order to get the one thing he wants: a dog. This story displays courage, motivation, and the right to stand up for what you believe in.

Number 1: Where The Red Fern Grows

This book is the best book in the history of mankind.This book puts every element of writing into one great book.This is about a boy who fights for the thing he wants with so much heart and so much pride that he finally gets it.The author does a great job with the storyline and characters.

A lot of kids have ordinary English teachers, but me and my class are far from an ordinary teacher. This is not a bad thing or is it? She has some positive traits about her and some negative traits. She is a very fun teacher. We do a lot of hands-on learning and not a whole lot of teachers do that anymore. It's just the same old boring stuff for them. She is almost all the time happy(except when we bomb a test).These fun projects help us to remember what we learned and comes in handy on tests.But, not everything about this teacher is good. She gives EXTREMELY hard tests and even harder exams.When we are assigned assignments she makes them so very long.When you wake up at 6:15 for 5 days straight every week and have a class in the early morning, you're not in the best of moods.There are some things I would change about her. First off when I can't think I would appreciate it if a gun barrel was not pointing at me. I mean who wants to be soaked with cold water at 8:30? Second I would shorten,(just a bit),the assignments during the day. Lastly, I would like to do more hands-on projects in class.But, She is a good teacher so there's not a lot about to complain.
