My 7th Grade Year
I am going to start with my lows. My first low was fainting on the third day of school. I was at my new school NBMS. I was really looking forward in something new. It was a change and a change I was excited about. I have a past with fainting I have fainted three times before this time. When I fainted it was during football practice. I was really embarrassed and thought everybody would make fun of me. Instead, people gave me a lot attention and were really nice to me. They made sure I was okay and worried about me. Once that was over I felt comfortable with everyone and I liked it. I ended up leaving though cause I felt like it wasn't good for me.
My second low was that I failed the third quarter in Math. I was really disappointed and mad at myself. I knew I could have tried harder and I just failed to succeed the expectations that were put on me. I really could have done better and I realize that. I made sure I did better and now I am passing with a B. That isn't amazing but it is pretty good for me. I am now proud of myself and understanding it perfectly.
My last low is losing in the playoffs during basketball season. Our season was really good and we were looking to do good in the post season. Unfortunately, we lost in the semi-finals by one point. It was one of the saddest moments in my life. What really got me mad was that we had a really good chance of winning it. We also had a really good coach. All around we just had a good team. I always wish I could go back and do it again with the same team.
Those would have to be my biggest lows of this year. Now, I am going to tell you about my highs. The greatest times of this year. The first high was when I scored a touchdown at NBMS. It was our third game I think and we were playing against Smithson Valley. The best football team in our district. They were ginormous! I played wide receiver. It was my favorite position. The pass was a short one but once I caught it I ran all the way to the end zone. I was really excited that I scored because I was the first wide receiver to score, and the only one.
My second high was coming back to NBCA! Even though I liked Nb I really felt like I needed to come back. My family prayed about it and after days of prayer and discussion we decided to get me back into Christian Academy. I really missed all my friends and wanted to get back to a christian environment. I think it was worth it though. This year has been fun and although I wish I could go back, I'm happy with how I am. It was a really good decision I think.
My third high was making it on the Nb Ice. They are an eight grade select basketball team that is pretty good. I know with play against older kids I will get better in the future. I was so happy when they asked me to play with them. Finally my hard work payed off. I know what a great honor it was for them to ask me. I like the players, coaches and the parents. They have all been real supportive towards me and that makes me feel good. I look to continue getting better and playing with them.
Those were my three lows and three highs. Thinking over this year I want to thank God for giving the ability to do all of this. I know he has been with me in all my tough decisions. I also want to thank my parents for praying for me paying all the expences I caused them to pay. This has really been a year of me becoming more mature and thinking twice before doing stuff. I want to be a leader not a follower and I know this seventh grade year has helped. I am looking forward to the next year hope it is just as good or better then this year.

Once upon time there was two best friends named napolean and Pedro. Pedro had just moved there so Napolean became friends with him. Napolean was pedros only friend and pedro was napoleans only friend. Pedro wanted to become popular so he ran for president. They started putting posters everywhere to get people to vote. While napolean put up the posters pedro started making his speech. They both started thinking about the skit that they had to do.
The next day when everyone came back to school everyone saw the posters. When Katelyn saw this she became furious and started running for president too. She got some of her friends and they also started making posters to put up. Katelyn spent a lot of time on her speech, but it was terrible. She through it away and started over hoping that she could write something better this time. When she was done it was amazing and Pedros would have to be really good to beat her's. The one thing that would hold her back is that she didnt have a skit.
Both of them started going around handing out buttons and saying,"vote for me". They were so excited because the elections
were coming up. Pedro rehearsed his speech over and over again until he got it perfect. There was still two weeks until elections
and Kateyln said that she would bring change to everything,but she never said what she was going to change. Pedro said That
he would let the students change what they wanted and they liked that more. They did this everyday and then finally there was only
one week left. They were both extremely excited and couldn't wait any longer.
Finally it was the day of the elections! Pedro wore his best suit and Katelyn her best dress. When the day was over they went
to the gym to get ready. At five o'clock they started Kateyln went first and her speech was great. After it was over she did her skit
she rode around on a unicycle while juggling sticks on fire. Pedro was up next his was perfect everyone loved it. His skit was next
and it was going to awsome. Everyone waited patiently for something to happen.
Then Napolean came out and just stood there. The music started and he started dancing everyone started going crazy. And
Katelyn hung her head in shame. She lost. After the votes were counted pedro won by five hundred. Pedro got what he wanted
he became popular and everyone loved him as president. Katelyn became a loser and Pedro was popular forever.

Though people think I'm good at it I only got to be like that by hard work, practice, and dedication. I practice a lot in my drive way or the Mckenna Gym. I want to be the best someday and know that I have to get a lot better. And I know that saying I want to be the best sounds pretty hard to accomplish, but I'm still going to try until I exceeded all my expectations. I really need to thank God first for giving me the ability to do this and my parents for supporting me and paying the money for me to play. And also driving me to all my games.
After reading this you can probably tell that i love basketball. I think you should play it too cause its really fun and a thrilling sport. But make sure that you try your very hardest if you want to be good because it takes diligent practice, and hard work.
