A Sad Boy.

There was a little boy that was about, 8 years old. He has no friends and no toys. His name was Arnold. He was always, and I mean ALWAYS polite to everyone, except nobody respected him. He was always sad and crying in a tunnel he built in the grounds.

One day in the summer Arnold took a walk to the lake, Arnold made a big sand castle almost life size. He just cried and cried about nobody respecting him. About an hour later, a boy about the same age named Bobby came into his castle and said “Hello, why are you crying?” Arnold says “Well because nobody respects me and I have no friends, anyway why are you talking to me?" “Because, you looked lonely and I wanted to be your friend.” Says Bobby.

Bobby and Arnold continue walking along the beach talking about their lives being lonely and people picking on them. They are with each other everyday. They have the same lives and they are like brothers. They're like best friends! But one day Arnold heard bobby talking to himself saying that Arnold was Dumb and ugly!

The next morning Bobby found Arnold back in his castle crying. Bobby apologized over and over until he talked. After a million times asking to be friends again. They became the best of friends. They stood up for each other and played everyday. Until they died together of old age at 104 years old!

Dallas Cowboys' Amazing History

Dallas Cowboys have an amazing history so far. They’re my 2nd favorite team in NFL. The Chicago Bears are my first. The Dallas Cowboys are a great team and they’ve been playing since 1960.
The Dallas Cowboys are an amazing team because their name is unique. They got that name because they had no other choice. The first months they were known as the “Steers”. After a few more weeks they decided to switch to “Rangers”, but at the same time a baseball team was created and supposedly they named it “Rangers” too. Clint Murchison Jr. and Belford Wynne decided on “Dallas Cowboys”. They’re colors turned out to be Blue, White, and Silver.
Best season so far is 1992 and 2007. What do you think about that? Do you agree, disagree?
Their first game was September 24, 1960. They were playing the Pittsburg Steelers at the Cotton bowl (Dallas Cowboys Stadium name). They had the lead in the 4rth quarter. I think they won but I’m not sure.
On November 16th 1970 the Cowboys lost a HUMILIATING GAME! It was not pretty. The score was 38-0; they lost to the ST. Louis Cardinals. But then in the NFC Championships they reach their first Super Bowl game. Thanks to the 49ers and their score 170-10; in San Francisco. I bet the Dallas Cowboys were pretty excited.
June 18, 1971; in the middle of spring the Super bowl V blasted! The Cowboys faced the Baltimore Colts in Miami. The Cowboys are leading 13-6 in the middle of 4rth quarter. Craig Morton intercepts into ten points including Jim O’ Brien’s winning the game. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys won 16-13.
Out of all the amzing football players in the NFL I chose the Dallas Cowboys. They had great history, good football games, some bad some good, and amazing players, I LOVE THE DALLAS COWBOYS!!

A Lesson

When I went to "Skateland" for the first time in December or Februrary on a cold night,I went with some friends and they helped me when i fell, and tripped. I first tried the four ones and they were WAY to hard. Then the next week I went and I tried the roller blades and they were better. I skated faster and faster. As I went to "Skateland" more I became a better rollerblader. This prooves to never give up at anything no matter how long it takes. You just have to have confidence and balance in yourself.

StreetWise

Could you survive being a homeless like Kyle Kubaska? .Some people can find a job even if they live in the streets. Most cannot survive on the streets. It doesn't feel good for some people to be homeless.

Please Stop Laughing At Me

This is a true story. It’s called Please Stop Laughing at me by Jodee Blanco .There’s a girl named Jodee Blanco and she was teased in elementary school, middle school, and most of all in high school. I think this story is tragedy. No matter how much they teased her she was still as strong as possible.
Since she’s going to a high school reunion she’s thinking back. Even though she was scared
she was trying to make herself go before she backs down. To herself she’s thinking that everybody’s going to be mature and nice to her.
Inside her head she was thinking into the past from the first day of high school.
Jodee started high school in Samuel’s. She was really scared because she thought everybody was going to be the same way in Middle and Elementary. Her mom was desperate for everybody to stop teasing her. She got new shoes and clothes. Her bus was here and there was nowhere to sit, except at the front by the driver where they called it “The loser’s seat”. So, she sat there. When she put her hand in her hair there it was a spit ball full of spit. When she took it out everybody started to spit more at her. Jodee was still strong and she didn’t yell at anybody.
All though she’s still scared and she thinking about the past. This time Jodee was thinking about the time she was in public speaking. The person who’s was suppose to be first was absent. So she was next and she froze. The teacher asked “what’s wrong didn’t you get and A in this class” and everybody laughed at her.


Jodee finally goes in the reunion and everybody’s happy to see her. She saw the captain of the football team. His name is Tyler and he said she looked great! After that he said that he was sorry for making fun of her and teasing her and he was sorry. He told her that he liked her too, but he was afraid what everybody would think. Even though everybody teased her and she went to the reunion and Samuel’s High School she was confident (kind of) and strong

Football

Getting ready for football games are one of the most fun things to do. Watching football games can be really exciting.

Before the games I go buy food for everybody that’s coming. My favorite snacks are Doritos, and Doritos Ranch. I put the snacks out into a bowl and the doorbell rings. I get really excited. Everybody’s coming and we’re getting ready to watch, scream, and eat.

Whenever the Bears lose we still have a great time. We eat, scream (kind of), and we get to spend time with everybody. Even though my dad doesn’t like when the Bears lose he still says he had a great time. I always laugh when he screams. He yells in the morning, afternoon, and night. No matter where we are he screams. He yells at people, the TV, and in my face.

In addition while enjoying the game and my dad getting mad, I eat things. It’s really fun to watch football players get tackled and when the other team and fans get mad. Sometimes when I laugh too hard coke comes out of my nose. Even though the Bears lose we Chicago people have a good time.

Now its time to go home. Either it’s a school night or it’s just too late. All the kids don’t want to go home but they have to anyway. We all love football games. It’s just a special time to spend time with friends or family, or maybe even both.

The Amazing Life of Michael Jackson

Micheal jacksons real name is Michael Joseph Jackson. He was born by my birthday:). Which is 08/29/1958. His job is a singer obviously. His Sign is a Virgo. He died June 25,2009.

Animals played an important role in Michael Jackson's life. He wrote a song about one of his pets and it was his pet rat. He named him Ben that was the name of the song too.Rats were just some of the animals Michael Jackson cared for. He also owned dogs and reptiles as a young boy. In fact, his 1986 line of stuffed toys called Michael's Pets reflected just some of his pets – frogs, rabbits, snakes, ostriches, giraffes, llamas and, of course, Bubbles the chimp.Michael Jackson rescued Bubbles from a Texas cancer research clinic in 1985 when the chimpanzee was three years old. Bubbles slept in a crib in Michaels’s bedroom and was the only one – human or animal – slowed to use Michael’s private bathroom.
Bubbles learned how to dance and moonwalk and was there for many award ceremonies and events. But when Michael Jackson's son Prince Michael I was born, Bubbles became aggressive and was moved to an animal sanctuary.:(
Neverland also included a private zoo, which once held an elephant, a lion and other exotic animals. In 2006 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a complaint claiming the animals were being mistreated. But when the zoo was inspected no evidence of abuse or neglect was found.Over the years Michael Jackson reached out to animals for their unconditional love and non-judgmental friendship. It seems some of his deepest and best friendships were with the many animals with which he shared his life.
