8th grade fun
Body Paragraph 1: Having friends in the 8th grade really helps you get by in life because you know that you’re wanted by people for you and not for money or clothes. So I have this friend name Nick, he has to be the funniest guy I know. So anyway, you know how most of us eat an apple to the core well nick eats the entire apple. I mean like the seeds, core, inner and outer layer of the apple. Now that’s what I call funny. Nick just knows how to make a sad and depressing day into a happy day just because that’s how nick is. Also, nick is the most random guy you’ll ever meet. He loves to be funny because it gets him attention but it’s the kind he wants. He’s not one of those people who is funny to get popular he’s just your regular, not so average Nick. Garrett is another one of my good friends that I want to tell you about. So I’ve known Garrett ever since the first grade and we’ve been best friends ever since. The times we have together can be crazy sometimes but that’s how we are. If you don’t like crazy then you’ll have to deal with it if you’re around us. Also, Garrett and I both run track for TAHOMA BLUE. Were pretty good at our events because he usually gets 1st or 2nd in hurdles and I usually get 4th or 5th in sprints. Now that you know about two of my many friends let me tell you about one of the most difficult things in school, TESTS.
Body Paragraph 2: Test’s can make or break you in the 8th grade. The anxiety of a test is sometimes too much to bear because maybe you didn’t study or maybe you didn’t turn in your flash cards and that’s only the beginning of the stress you begin to feel. The taking the test part is the hardest for me because I’m one of those people who freeze up and lose all the information that I studied about for the test. That’s a problem with tests and I we just don’t mix unless it’s a math test because I’m good at those. But what is better then the sweet taste of a good grade (well probably a lot of things but you know what I mean). Anyway, what I was saying is the taste of a good grade is awesome because you know you deserve that grade because you tried hard for it and your efforts paid off. But I want to get off the topic of test and go on to one of my new favorite sports, Track.
Body paragraph 3: Track is full of high tension, thrilling suspension and a winning sensation that all of these things help you win a track event. First, the high tension causes the adrenaline to start flowing threw your blood to make you more powerful. We in track know that we can only use this every now and then. Next, I like having friends run belong side me because then we have a better chance of winning a race for Tahoma. The intensity of a track meet is really weird because sometimes you like the intensity and sometimes you don’t and this track meet after school I am going to embrace the intensity like a mother hugging her lost but then found son. Well this is all I have to say about these topics so I’m going to end my story.
Conclusion: 8th grade is a high action and dramatic place to be and even though you might not like it you get used to it after a while. 8th grade was a great place to come, learn and hangout all at the same time. 8th grade will surely be everyone’s best year because I know it was definitely one of mine.
Intro: Cars going up and down a highway until a traffic jam of them are in the middle of the road. Horns honk, people say and the natural flow of the hallway comes to life just like I said in the halls were just cars on a highway. Friends left and right, up and down there to support 110% in what ever you do because that’s why friends are there. The tests are like walking on a tight rope, miss a question and get a bad grade, you will fall. But get an A and you will cross the rope to safety. Finally, the after school events are so fun TAHOMA BLUE VS. TAHOMA GOLD. So sit back and get ready to learn something about the 8th grade.

Seussical The Muscial
Body Paragraph 1: The costumes Sheila made wear simply amazing. She captured each of the characters right. The sour kangaroo (who calls herself the leader of the jungle) had a blue dress, a beehive hairdo wig, high heels and a baby kangaroo. For Horton he had a grey janitors type outfit, ears (of course), no nose, and a tail. The Grinch (who is me by the way) had a Santa outfit you know with the red and the black belt, the red and green hat and my face was green. Along side me though was my dog Max. All she had was one antler on her forehead. Also they blended well with the background.
Body Paragraph 2: The songs were so energizing and the people who sang them were awesome. First, the jungle ensemble sang The Biggest Blame Fool which is about Horton being an outcast of the Jungle. Kelsey and Maddy both sang that song just on different performances but they definitely added the sass to that song which is exactly what Mrs. DeLeon was looking for. Alex sang Alone in the Universe and even though that song not the most energetic it was definitely a sad moment which drew a few tears from the audience. At the final song we ALL sang Green Eggs and Ham. Which is a story by Dr. Seuss just like every character is too.
Body Paragraph 3: The final show was the best performance. We had the most energy, loudness, craziness, and are voices were all perfect for the last performance. We were all over the place when we were dancing and that’s a good thing by the way because that means we had a lot of energy. The songs were amazing, the dances we awesome and I thought we gave it our all on that stage. After the performance was done we saw every person stand up from their seats which means they thought we were AWESOME.
Intro: Why are there strange creatures on a stage? Why are they singing and dancing. Have you ever had one of these moments where you find yourself asking question about something strange that you never seen before? Well that’s what we left the audience doing at our performance of Seussical the Musical.
Thesis: Seussical the Musical was an amazing performance put on by all of the actors such as myself.
Conclusion: Seussical was just awesome by because of how exciting it was. It was just so full of energy and life, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so much energy. So that musical is done but it will be listed by me as one of the greatest musicals in history all because of one author.

Funniest time
My funniest story would probably be when probably when my brother and I were playing soccer in the backyard. So what happend was we were kicking the ball around when suddenly he decides to boot it and then the ball rickochets off the fence like a bouncy ball and comes back and hits him in the stomach. My brother and I were laughing so hard it felt like a kid with a really bad stomach ache.

March Essay Writing Contest
Intro:Water splashing in your face, kids screaming, running, knowing they are free to go anywhere without getting into any trouble. Tubes shooting down the slides. Screams shooting down right after them. Little kids hopping across the lily pads trying not to get wet. The giant waves of the wave pool making the kids in tubes drift away back onto land just to make those kids try to get back into the water just to be drifted back out again. Then finally, the howling of the tornado comes as people scream for there very lives then the tornado swallows them whole and spits them back out 5 seconds later. It’s like a kid not eating his vegetables at dinner.
Three Things:One of the greatest places that I’ve ever been was the Grand Mound Great Wolf Lodge. Three things I’m going to talk about is the water park, a game there called MagiQuest, and just the hotel itself.
Body Paragraph 1:The water park was an amazing experience at the great wolf lodge. Dozens of rides for kids of any age. There was a kiddie pool for the kids. A giant water playset for the older kids. Finally the water slides for adults and teens and those few daredevil, try anything kids. Oh yeah I can’t forget the wave pool. So first, the kiddie pool was fun for me and it’s a kiddie pool. It was great for kids under the age of 5 and adults over the age of 60. Anyway, there were two slides there for the kids. One was in the shape of like a ship and the other had just a regular slide, so all in all it was good for kids. But, they also had these water guns coming out of a jetski or something like that. Next, the bigger water park for kids over the age of 8 was a pretty cool one. At the very tippy top was a bucket that holds up to 140 gallons of water and it dumps the entire bucket every 5 minutes. That’s a lot of water. As you scale this house like water castle, you’ll find tons of buckets full of water to dump on people, ropes to pull to dump water on people, and there you’ll find two water slides, a red and a yellow one. These water slides made you go pretty fast to. If you were in the right position. Next, there were these lily pads that floated in the water with a rope net above you and all you have to do is make it from one side to the other. Finally, the howling tornado, the grand daddy of them all the howling tornado. Imagine sliding down the belly of a beast then being spat out into a pool of water. The howling tornado is the biggest attraction of the great wolf lodge. Now that i'm done with my water fun its time to talk about a game there called MagiQuest.
Body Paragraph 2:MagiQuest is a game that takes you around the first five stories of the hotel. On the stairway you'll find talking treasure chests, talking animals, magical pictures and many more mythical objects. What you do to play is you go to the MagiQuest shop and get a magic wand that activates the magical objects. After you have your wsand you go to a talking tree, there you'll learn how to play the game. As you go through the hotel you are put on quest's such as the great wolf quest, the dragon adventure and you go find magical runes that get you points during the game. The whole point of the game is to complete all the quests, adventures and find all the runes. As you find these runes or master these quests and adventures you level up from student magi to Master Magi which is the highest rank in the game. This is just a game you can do just to keep yourself occupied while your at the Great Wolf Lodge. This is what the game MagiQuest is all about.The game is like a magical wonderland of action and adventure. Now I'll talk about the hotel itself.
Body Paragraph 3:The hotel is amazing place filled with many animals. The hotel was like a forest filled with tiny little critter's.It has many different stores, food, and rooms. One of the stores is the gift shop. The gift shop's carries many different items from fake pooping wolves to shirts and sweatshirts. Where you get breakfast and dinner is The Loose Moose Cottage. The eatery is as good as american apple pie. Having French toast for breakfast and Cheeseburgers for dinner was a great taste of savory flavors in every bite. Finally, our room that we got was the Kids Kabin(thats how the spell it at the Great Wolf Lodge) had many drawings on the walls, little animals crawling out of the walls, comfy beds and TV of course. P.S. the animals are painted too. The biggest room out of all the rooms is the Wolf Den. I snuck my head in an empty one and it had two bedrooms, two bathes and a kitchen. It was like and apartment room.
Conclusion:Well I hope you enjoyed hearing about the Great Wolf Lodge as much as I liked telling you about it. The Great Wolf Lodge is a great place for families and friends to go visit. By the way, if you go water park first no matter what.

08 SOCCER SEASON
PER 1
2-4-09
Body Paragraph 1:
The season was underway once the ref blew that whistle my season kicked ff as we dribbled the ball down field. Martin took it up field, passed to Giovanni, passed across field to me. I passed it back to Martin. Martin took the shot but the goalie stopped the ball. We were disappointed but we had to keep our head in the game or else it would be all down hill from there. After they tried to score we got the ball back and we were going to score. Martin juked left and right as he brought the ball to Mid Field. Passed it to me as I took the ball to the goal I instantly passed the ball to Martin and the goalie. That was the First goal of the season and it’s never felt so good.
Body Paragraph 2:
All the players on the team were amazing. Even though I don’t remember all the players’ names. Let’s see, Martin was Mid, Giovanni was Left-Mid, I was Right-Mid/Forward, Anthony was Goalie, and that’s all I could remember. But we had the best coach you could ever have, even though he’s tough, that’s what helped us win all our games. And we had some assistant coaches but no one knew their name.
Body Paragraph 3:
The last game was the worst because we only played one team that entire season which was only three games. Today was the third game and it was time to score as much as we possibly could so we were on top of our game. There were so many shots on goal, passes. Assist’s, blocks, steals. Finally, the end of the game came around, the final score 8-0 us. We owned you could say, but we were bummed that it was the end of a great season.
Topic Sentence:
This essay is all about my entire 09 Soccer Season.
Conclusion:
My 09 soccer season was so amazingly awesome I didn't want it to end. I was amazed to see how well we played as a team, it was like we were all one player because we never allowed a goal that entire season I we were ready for more games, but sadly we had no games left and that was pretty much it from there. The season was amazing, so were the players, the coaches, the fans. the victory. That's why I never wanted that season to end
