One hot summer day a boy named Jimmy who had just moved into town wanted to play play baseball. His mom called the baseball team and asked if they would be willing to let Jimmy play on the team. Coach Taylor said it was to late. Jimmy's mom had no idea what she was going to tell him. The next day she knew she had to do the right thing by telling Jimmy that he was not able to play this year. Jimmy didn't take things to well. He ran to his room and buried his face in his pillow. Jimmy's mom felt awful. The next day Jimmy had asked a boy named Carl who lived in his neighborhood if his team had practice any time soon. Carl answered; "Well we have a practice tonight and our first game is in 3 days."
Jimmy asked if he could go with Carl to the practice tonight. He wanted to show coach Taylor that he was an amazing athlete. Jimmy thought he would sure enough ask for his assistance for the rest of the year. After Jimmy gathered all his stuff for the practice, he started walking over to Carl's. The coach watched Jimmy as he played and was astonished by his effort and ability to play ball. Coach Taylor told him he could be on the team. Jimmy ran home to tell his mom the good news and was tremendously happy! He couldn't help but think how fun his upcoming game would be.

Friday the 13th
On Friday the 13th, 2000, a young boy thought it would be funny to prank his friend Josh by pretending to be Jason that he had saw off the scary movies. The day before Friday he decided to prepare himself for the ultimate prank. He went to the store to get props, then went to a costume shop to get a costume. Friday, he had waited till sunset to move out and prank Josh. Josh was sitting in his room playing video games when all of a sudden he heard tapping on his window. He was stunned and could not move for about 10 seconds. Then, he heard it again, only this time it was a different window. He ran to his moms room to tell his mom but on the kitchen counter he saw a note. The note said "Josh, I'm out eating ill be back at around midnight." Josh was even more scared.
Josh then heard someone knocking on his door. He opened the door and saw a huge puddle of blood, a kitchen knife, and a propped body. He called the cops and soon enough they arrived at 9:27 PM. They hopped to conclusions and said that it must have been a neighborhood kid fooling around. As the officer was telling Josh to not worry about it and get some sleep, the officers phone was called and he had a speed chase to attend. They left the house at around 9:53 PM. Soon enough after they had left, Josh's home phone started ringing. The phone said unauthorized caller. Josh answered anyway and heard a strange man saying look at your bedroom window. Josh dropped his phone. He ran to his room quickly and saw what too look like a figure of a mans body. He opened the window and started yelling at the man saying, "What the heck are you doing on my lawn!" The man slowly faded away into the shadows.
At about 10:42 PM he heard the doorbell ring and ran downstairs quickly. Josh went into the cabinet to find a gun. He opened the door and saw the man standing there with a butcher knife. He shot the man and took his mask off. He found out it was his friend named Chris and quickly called 911. The police arrived at his house about 5 minutes later with an ambulance. They rolled him out on a stretcher and took him to the hospital. Luckily, Chris was fine after getting 6 stitches in all. He had no arteries damaged and was back to school within the week. Chris never forgave Josh no matter how hard he tried to ask for rejoice.

SpongeBob
SpongeBob was one of my favorite TV shows as a little boy. I watched it almost everyday after school and never got tired of it. Whenever they made a new show I would always get so excited and me and my older brother would watch all their marathons up until the new ones. I used to have SpongeBob sheets and SpongeBob stuffed animals. I was over obsessed with him!
NFL
Since i was a young boy, my dream has been to make it into the NFL. My favorite team is the packers. Aaron Rodgers is a big influence on me. He is one of my idols along with Brett Favre. Even though he did leave the Packers i still respect him for all his time he was there and what he did for the team. Brett is one of the best Quarterbacks ever to set foot in the NFL. He's broken many records and still holds them. Hes played for 4 different teams. The Falcons, Packers, Jets, and Vikings. He is a very known person and an NFL legend.
Hunting
Every year I go up to North Dakota to go Pheasant hunting. We usually also go to Wyoming and go Pronghorn hunting. I love hunting for birds. There's always action and you never get bored. It does require a lot of walking but its nothing hard. Two years ago my brother got 13 birds and my dad got 11. I was to young to hunt but it was still fun. My whole family usual goes up and its just an amazing time for everyone.
Fishing
I like to fish. Its a great outdoor activity. Every summer, my family takes a trip up north to our cabin and we go fishing and swimming. Since we live on the lake, I take my little brother and sister out to fish. Although all they catch are bluegill and very small perch, its a good experience for them to have. Fishing can get very boring if you don't catch anything but its something that requires patients. If u don't have that, i suggest not trying to do it at all.
Clouds
When i was a young boy i used to always stare at the clouds and try to make figures out of them. Clouds are white, puffy, and very high up in the air. I wish i could be up in the air like them. I love flying. When i was about 4 years old, me and my older brother went on a plane by ourselves going to visit my grandma in North Carolina. We flew through a bunch of clouds. At first, I thought they would break off and just split into two but it turns out clouds are basically just water.
