T-E-S-T-S
For every single test I take, I study hard.
There is so much pressure.
Some tests I studied hard for and got extra points on my score.
Other tests I studied less on and didn’t get everything right.
Some tests are small and some are quite long.
Tests are not given to make you frustrated. They are given to see how much you know about something. Don’t worry if you get things wrong. You will learn soon enough and then you will know. Take your time on tests and think about the answers. I take a while but it’s worth so much in the end. So, you see, tests are not so bad – they’re only for your own good.

Rumors Lead To Lies

Rumors lead to lies.
Lies lead to rumors.
Neither of them is nice or kind.
Some are very, very mean.
While others, are medium.
No lie or rumor that I’ve heard was nice-nice.
Some rumors start because people want to get
Someone back and that can get passed on and changed
And it ends up a lie, a mean lie.
But rumors are never something you should be proud of.
So never start a rumor and it won’t end up a lie
‘Cause it never happened.
Don’t start a mean lie ‘cause it might end up a rude rumor.
And the person it’s about will find out somehow, sometime.
And they will feel embarrassed and hurt.
So now you know, rumors lead to lies and lies lead to rumors.
Don’t start one and it will never happen.

THE KICK

I nervously scampered to the field.
My legs were shivering.
I walked slowly; my heart was pounding fast.
With the ball in my hands I walked onto the field.
I got into position, offense.
Ready.
I heard the whistle blow.
We ran up the field.
I felt kind of scared; my legs were trembling.
Someone passed the ball to me.
My foot slammed against the ball, I aimed at the goal.
I was curious to know if it would make it in the goal.
The wind was cool and chilling.
I heard the crowd shouting excitedly.
The ball rolled in the direction of the goal.
My eyes were wide with excitement.
I didn’t know if the ball was going to go in.
I took a deep breath.
Slowly, the ball rolled, one last time; then, it was in!!
I did it!
I felt proud and happy.
There were cheers all around me.
I felt excited and a lot better than before.
Soccer is my sport.

MY DOG

A yellow lab/hound mix.
Very, very cute.
Eating machine.
Best buddies with a poodle.
Always friendly.
Loves to play.
Plump, but gets lots of exercise.
Always happy.
Loves everyone.
Gets lonely when we’re gone.
Likes to look around.
Loves dog treats.
That’s my dog, Dakota.

I held my fishing pole steadily while my dad helped put a worm on my hook. After he was done I reeled it in, got it in position. And. Cast! My hook went flying, my line extended out. Plop! My hook went down under water. As I waited for a fish I saw my sister catch her third.
Finally, I felt a little tug. I reeled it in. No fish. I was disappointed.
