My Most Favorite Memory

I went to the hospital today for a monthly check up. The doctor said that I was starting to have amnesia. I was devastated. The amnesia I have will let me only keep one memory. So I have to think about one memory to keep.

The one memory I want to keep is my school years at FRA. That is because there are so many memories from this school. They are both happy and sad. The first day of school is where I have met a lot of my life long friends. Their names Russell, Scott, Hannalee, and Lacy, and through the years I have added more friends. Those four friends have been through everything with me.

Another reason I want to remember FRA is because of sports. I have had some great times playing sports. I played football, basketball, and baseball. I remember when I started as a sixth grader in football it was the greatest of my life. I also remember Coach Baute giving me the coaches’ award for basketball. I remember when I got a huge hit in baseball against Lagrange in the sixth grade.
Academics aren’t that great of a memory, but are another memory about Flint River. I remember in the fifth grade when I got the Woodmen of the World award. I was so proud of myself.
The last memory of FRA is the sound of the bell and the sound of the lockers slamming. The books falling out of my lockers because it is so messy always happened to me. Notebook checks were always terrible because my notebooks were out of order.
I think I have made a great decision on my memory. One day I hope there will be no more amnesia. Maybe they will create a medicine that will prevent and cure amnesia.

Lessons Learned

I have just finished learning about the Holocaust and the story of Anne Frank in Mrs. Chapman’s class. That was a very brutal time for the Jews, the Polish, and the Gypsies. I mean if a person were to think about it right now they would consider themselves lucky. That is because if someone is being hated because of their race or nationality they are probably just being picked on, but if that person were to be back in the day of the holocaust were hated because of their race or nationality, they would have probably been sent to a concentration camp or killed. I have learned a very important lesson from this. It is to not to be prejudice against other people because of the way they talk, look, act, or what color they are.
Mrs. Chapman is the person that made us learn about these horrifying times, but she had a reason for teaching it to us. The Holocaust made me sick in my stomach. The reason is because the Nazis would torture any Jews they saw walking around. They would come and shoot them, start beating them to death, or they would them and put them in concentration camps. The concentration camps were terrible. Many people would die of starvation, diseases, heat exhaustion, or torture. The Jews would be treated badly in concentration camps. They would be put in heat boxes, gas chambers, or just get shot. The Jews would be forced to sleep in little bitty huts. The huts were meant to hold ten at the max, but there would be more than twenty stuffed in the huts with hardly any air. That is why a bunch of people died. That is because if one person had a disease then got cramped into the small hut, that disease would be spread quickly.
The Holocaust, I am afraid, is still happening to this day. We just need to watch for it happening and try to prevent it. Hopefully the Holocaust and events related to it will come to an end. The most important lesson to learn from the Holocaust is to not be prejudice to other people.

The End of the World!

The North Koreans have just dropped a nuclear bomb on America. It has wiped out the nation. It is a complete devastation. It is up to me to choose what five occupations that I would like keep alive in order to bring the United States back up to the top of the world.
The first occupation I would like to keep alive would be a doctor. That is because doctors can help sick people get better. Doctors can also perform surgery for the people that got wounded by the nuclear bomb.

The second occupation I would like to keep alive would be a farmer. A farmer would be very helpful because he could plant food and raise animals to help feed people. A farmer could also be helpful by moving all of the debris from the bomb.
The third occupation that I would need most would be a builder. The builder would be very helpful. That is because a builder would build all of the houses and companies back up. The builders could also be helpful and build more hospitals for all the hurt people. Also they could help dig graves for all the dead people that did not survive.

The fourth occupation is very important. It is a teacher. The teacher will help by giving all the children an education that survived. After the teacher teaches the students all they need to learn they will be able to bring the whole U.S. back to its feet.

The fifth occupation I would need in order to survive would be would be an animal keeper. The animal keeper is a very vital occupation for the U.S. That is because if we didn’t have one we would all die of starvation. The animal keeper would raise animals and then release them into the wild. They could also sell the animals to a food place so they could make food. When the animals are old enough the animal keepers could release them into the wild. Then that would give people a chance to hunt them.

That is all of the occupations we would need to survive. I hope this doesn’t have to happen in my lifetime.

If I was an animal what would I be?

If I were to be an animal what would I be? I would probably be a lion. There

were many reasons I chose to be a lion. The first reason was they are the king

of the jungle. They also like to travel in packs called prides. I also like to

travel with friends. Lions also work well with others, like me. Lions can also be

very lazy and take naps. I also love taking naps. Lions love to hunt, just

like me.Like me lions hunt deer. Lions fight for what they want and

to at the top. Lions love to eat meat. I do too.

Mrs. Chapman is a mule. That is because she is stubborn. She is stubborn

because it is her way or the highway. If a student doesn’t have his homework and

he doesn’t have a passport or a homework pass, he might as well forget about

all the hard work he has done because he has just made a 0. Also when

a student gets a test back and doesn’t have a homework pass, she will not let him

go get one even if he have a passport. Mules also work very hard. Mrs.

Chapman also works very hard at trying to teach the students effectively.

BCS Bowls

The BCS Bowls have been blown up this year. Since everybody has lost 2 or more games it is more difficult to choose who will be able to go to the National Championship. The decision was made LSU and Ohio State would play in the National Championship. I was so mad when I heard about that. I wanted Georgia to go to it so bad. Everything happened for Georgia so they could go. The people did not vote that way though.

In the National Championship LSU has a couple of advantages they are close to home and have 2 good quarterbacks. The Ohio Buckeyes also have a few advantages too. They have a great defense and Ohio is better ranked than LSU. Ohio State is the underdog for the game.

Since Georgia did not make it to the National Championship, they are playing in the Sugar Bowl. They are playing Hawii. It is going to be a hard game but I think that Georgia will win. Georgia is the hottest team in the nation. The Warriors are undefeated.The Warriors are going to need to do some serious prep work to stop Georgia. That is because Knowshon Moreno and Mattew Stafford will put the Warriors' Defense the test. Hawaii's prolific quarterback, Colt Brennan, will be able to take advantage of Georgia's struggling pass defense. These teams match up really well, and this game should be a lot of fun to watch.

The Rose Bowl will be played between Illinois and USC.This might not be as good as the USC-Georgia match up many hoped would occur, but don't sleep on this traditional Big Ten/Pac-10 match up. Illinois runs a spread offense lead by quarterback Juice Williams. Illinois also has the nations 2nd best rusher in the big ten, Rashard Mendenhall. In addition, WR,Arrelious Benn, gives the Illini balance in the passing game. The offensive line is finally healthy and the Illini haven't faced a tight end as big and as fast as Fred Davis. The 2 quarterbacks, John David Booty and Joe McKnight, and Fred Davis will Be hard to stop. But The Illin already have one upset against Ohio State. So maybe they will be able to beat USC. This is going to be a great game to watch.

The Fiesta Bowl will be between West Virginia and Oklahoma.This is a good matchup for Oklahoma. Although the Sooners have given up big plays in the passing game (ranked No. 68 in pass defense), they are very strong against the run (No. 8, 92 yards per game). Oklahoma is not afraid to commit eight men to stop the run and has the speed to match West Virginia's triplets. They are QB Pat White, RB Steve Slaton and WR Darius Reynauds.West Virginia will have to make big plays in the passing game to beat Oklahoma. Offensively, Oklahoma's offensive line will have a size and strength advantage over West Virginia's smaller 3-3-5 stack defense. The Mountaineers have played solid run defense (108 yds/game), but they haven't faced a rushing attack like Oklahoma's that is complemented by a solid passing attack. Oklahoma is the top dog in this game.

The Orange Bowl will be between Virginia Tech and Kansas.This certainly isn't one of the strongest matchups of the BCS bowls. It is probably the weakest matchup in the Bowl Championship Series. Kansas will struggle to score against the fastest defense the Jayhawks will face this season. Virginia Tech's starting cornerbacks, Victor "Macho" Harris and Brandon Flowers, are arguably the best set of corners in the country and have the ability to control Kansas wide receivers.Offensively, the Virginia Tech are playing much better now that they've settled into a comfortable two-quarterback system with Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor. The bottom line is that Virginia Tech is too fast on both sides of the ball for Kansas.

That is all of the BCS Bowls now it is time to make my predictions. In the National Championship I think LSU is going to win. In the Sugar Bowl I think Georgia is going win. In the Rose Bowl I think USC is going to win. In the Fiesta Bowl I think that Oklahoma is going to win. In the Orange Bowl I think that Virginia Tech is going to win it.
