Writing Prompt #7

Seventh grade... wow, that was quite awhile ago and quite a few things have changed since then. One of my main changes since then is that I have matured quite a bit. In seventh grade I was one of the kids that would try picking a fight everyday and I wouldn't care about showing respect to any of the teachers. But in some ways I am still like the seventh grader I used to be. For example I haven't even grown since then, I am still 5 feet 10 inches, and still have my curly brown hair. I have personally changed since 7th grade, but the school and teachers have also. In 7th grade when I went out for football it was still Menahga Braves Football, a few years back it switched when we combined our football team with Sebeka so now its the United North Central Warriors Football. Some of the cooler teachers that we have had when I was in elementary retired and were replaced by much younger teachers. Even the High School principle moved on to bigger and better jobs. A lot has changed since then and I haven't even thought about it until you had us write this assignment. School and education at Menahga High has molded me into the person I am today, at 18 years old I am living on my own, I have a job, drive a vehicle that I paid for by myself and I am surviving quite well. The school taught me to respect people, gave me the education that I need to succeed in life and many other useful things.

Writing Prompt #6

I was having a good dream, driving a new shiny huffy when I was 8 years old. Wish it was still like that now. But something wasn't feeling right in the real world so I woke up, stifled a yawn, stretched, and was swinging my feet of my bed when I noticed someone staring into my bedroom. "Holy s#$@!" I screamed. There, staring in my bedroom window with a huge smile on his face was none other then Barrack Obama.Once he saw me notice him he started to wave then tapped on the window.He motioned for me to unlock and lift the window, so I did. Once it was open he crawled through it and into my room. "Nice pad" he said with a wink. I froze up. It might not seem like that big of a deal to have the President of the United States in your bedroom but its a whole different ball game when he is actually there. Not knowing what to do I sat back down on my bed and finally mustered up the courage to ask him what he was doing here. He said that there was an important mission that was going down within the next three hours and the only way for that mission to be a success he would need me to help him out. Help out the U.S.A. Feeling like a mouse running with elephants I managed just a squeaky laugh. His smile disappeared and he took a real serious tone. "You have to help us or we will be defeated by the hands of this evil." he told me. I asked him how an 18 year old boy like myself could help the United states and he said that I have a knowledge that no other human has on the topic of biological warfare. That's when I busted out laughing. I'll tell you what, this wasn't the right thing to do on my part, it only made him mad. "Get it through your thick skull!" he started to raise his voice. "Your our only hope and your just laughing about it, the whole U.S. is counting on you!" I stopped laughing right away. I finally started to take him serious, he told me to get dressed and ready to leave immediately. Within 5 minutes I had my clothes and shoes on and was grabbing a quick bite to eat at McDonald's, going through the drive through with the presidents limousine! We made our way through the city to the outskirts of town to an abandoned looking farmhouse. We walked in the front door and down to the basement, down there was a single door and it wasn't your average sized door, this door looked like it could stop a speeding train. ON the other side of the door was a bunch of modern technology for making or breaking down biological weapons. "Lets get straight to the point" Obama said." An anonymous country has launched a few biological weapons into the U.S. and we have two and a half hours to disengage them before they let out a deadly virus. We got right to work and within an hour I realized I had mass intelligence for this kind stuff. Needless to say we stopped the weapons from going off. Afterwords I asked how the President knew about my knowledge when even I didn't. He said that they have records of hundreds of kids like me that specialize in certain parts of life but they don't even know about it. We were born with some kind of power. We are the ones to choose whether or not to use it in a good way or to abuse it.
