It was March 4th, 2019. It was a Saturday afternoon and I got in my mom’s car to drive the orthodontist’s office. The whole car ride there I had mixed emotions of nervousness, happiness, and sadness. I was nervous because I was scared of what I was going to look like or how bad the pain was going to be. I was happy because my teeth were going to be fixed and I get to pick fun colors like blue, green, pink and more. I was sad because well I was getting braces on and nobody wants braces.
When we got to the orthodontist office we signed in and sat in the waiting room. Then they called me back. First they cleaned and dried my teeth, then they applied the glue and brackets to my teeth, next they put in my wire, lastly I chose my band colors and I was finally finished. It felt like really really weird at first but then I got used to it real fast. They gave me some wax to put on my braces if it rubbed on my cheek or the inside of my mouth.
It was just a normal day, teaching at a normal school, I was teaching the kids about the ellipsis sentence. Then all of a sudden, I was called out of the room by Mr. Raum. He said, “ Do not tell the kids,
I do not want to scare them, there has been an attack on the United States.” he said, “I am ordering for all of your students to go home.” So I sent them all home, to their loving families. So there I am, sitting on my couch watching all of this unfold. Then on the bottom of the screen, a breaking news panel came up…. Man gets hit, by spike anchorred missiles, in the middle of the woods, if you know this person, please call us 1800/666/7217 thank you. I said, “Oh no, that is my husband, Jimmy he went to the cabin for the weekend!!!” So I hopped into the car and drove to were your husband lie… dead. You hear this above your head, as soon as you look up, you get hit in the head, by the fuselage of a British spy aircraft, then everything goes black.
Cyberbullying has become a widespread problem throughout the US and it needs to be stopped. In this article you will learn how to handle cyberbullying and how other people can help.
How to Detect It:
Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that uses a device to mentally harass others. It includes photos, messages, or pages that don’t get taken down, even after the bully has been instructed to do so. Most of the time the bullying focuses on a person’s gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, or physical differences. Cyberbullying is illegal in many states but because of usernames, the amount of people, and locations can make it difficult.
Outcome of Cyberbullying:
Cyberbullying hurts many people: the victim, bystanders, and can even hurt the bully. Cyberbullying jeopardizes the victims mood, and mental health. It can cause them to be anxious or even depressed. If the bully is caught they can be dismissed from sport teams or any extracurricular activities, and can even be suspended from school.
What You Can Do:
If you are experiencing cyberbullying- or you know someone who is- you don’t have to be embarrassed. By speaking up, you can help future victims and stop the bullying from getting worse. Here are some options to help you speak out and stop the bullying:
Tell someone. Even though it might be hard you should always tell a trusted adult, guardian, or teacher. If you are worried that your parents might take extreme measures such as losing your computer or device privileges, you should express your fear to them. Say the things you are worried about and try to negotiate and come to an agreement with them. The main reason for this option is having a helping hand to get the bullying under control.
Walk away. Ignoring the bully is a great way to stop the bullying. By doing this you take away their power because they will see you’re not bothered and they will eventually give up. The best way to do this is to step away from the computer or any other device and take a break. Don’t forward the message to anyone, you don’t want anyone else to have the same information you have.
Resist the urge to retaliate. Not retaliating or responding is a great way to get away from the toxic messages. Engaging with the bullies will only cause the problem to get worse because that shows them it affected you in some way. By responding, they will most likely continue to bully
Overall cyberbullying is a hard thing to deal with and this article can help people through it, and might even put an end to it. If you know anyone who is a cyberbully, politely let them now that cyberbullying is not okay and can even put you and them in danger.

I am going to tell you why cats are the best pet. There are millions of reasons but I’m only going to tell you a few.
First of all, most cats are very soft and are stress-relieving when you pet them. When you pet them they purr. This means they are happy, which will make you feel happy.
Next, cats are the best pet because they come in different colors and sizes. Fun fact: there are over 500 different breeds of cats, so even if you are allergic to cats you can still own one because there are hairless cats.
Third of all, cats are fun and energetic. You can play with them and never get bored, and they can live up to 20 years so you can own them for a long time.
Cats come in many varieties, relieve stress, and are fun. These are the reasons why I feel that cats make the best pets.
I found another portal. Should I jump through it? It won’t harm to try. The worst thing that can happen is I explode.
“Hold on!”
“Let’s go back to how Nazli got here.”
“ By the way, I am the narrator. I will pop in from time to time.”
Nazli was working at her local Dollar General. Looking as dead as ever. She was checking out the squishiest grandma ever. The world was shaking…badly. Nazli just took it as the earth was having another earthquake. The earth started splitting at its seams making the ground glow from its magma core. Next thing Nazli knew the earth wasn’t there. She wasn’t on the floor. She was gone…and she wasn’t coming back.
“ Hello there mate!” a weird mysterious figure said.
“ Hel-lo?”
“Who’s there?”
“ Well, there mate I’m Sydney Annemarie!”
Nazli stood up carefully. She falls back down. Nazli tries this about a hundred more times. The final time she fell she gave up.
“ Why do I keep falling? Isn’t this space?”
“ Yeah mate, but the gravity here in this dimension is heavier than your body can handle.”
“ Why can you stand up perfectly fine then?”
“ Well mate, the reason I can stand up is because I am an interdimensional guardian.”
“ What is an interdimensional guardian?”
“An interdimensional guardian looks after this broken portal and makes sure no bad person gets into the other dimensions.”
At that moment Nazi realized that she was the bad person. She was intruding. She was going to make this world, no dimension dies. She was in trouble. She needed help. She needed more help than she knew she was going to need. She needed to be reliable. More reliable than a best friend. She thought this was going to be an easy journey? No, she knew she was going to fail.
Last time on the Adventures of Jamal (The Temple of the Lost Hydrogen Bomb)…
Bill Nye the Russian Spy and his sidekick Jamal were standing in front of the lost temple of the hydrogen bomb.
“Here it is,” Bill said. “The temple of the lost hydrogen bomb.”
…
They had reached the balcony at the top of the temple, and sitting right in front of them, was the lost hydrogen bomb. Jamal walked up to the bomb and started pressing buttons.
“What are you doing Jamal?” Bill asked.
Jamal put his hoof to his ear and said, “Quick! I need back up! Now!”
…
“I’m an American Moose! Have fun dying by the hydrogen bomb!” Jamal yelled.
…
Bill ran over to the bomb to defuse it. Right as he was about to cut the last wire…BOOM! Bill Nye was vaporized. Jamal got a medal for his service to the U.S.A.
Jamal walked (well technically he trotted) down the office to the guy in charge of assigning missions at the CIA. Earlier that day he had received an encrypted message on his phone (not very secure) to meet at the CIA base (coordinates were included too, even though he knew where it was).
Jamal entered the meeting room. In the center was his usual platter piled with carrots three feet high, as Jamal is eating his carrots (already an eighth of the way through) the CIA director was sitting on the other end of the table in his usual shadowy spot, around fifty feet away from the only light source, a candle in the middle of the table. No one knew the director, not even his voice because he was so far away, he needed to use a speaker and used a voice changer through it then he said, “We intercepted a message that someone plans to assassinate the president. We need you to go undercover to stop the assassination and save the president. Oh, and bring me back a Taco Bell CrunchWrap Supreme, I’m always hungry.”
So Jamal responds (shouting) “Yes sir!” which he got back a “what?” so Jamal grabbed a piece of paper, wrote “yes sir” on it, made a paper airplane and attached a rocket to it and threw it.
The CIA director responded, ”Okay.”
While Jamal was on his way to the White House someone in a white van pulled up and said, “Want some candy?”
To which Jamal responded, “Not today” then pulled out his RPG, shot the engine, and arrested him. Then when he got to the White House he walked right in and got equipped for secret service.
The president greeted him saying, “Hello Mr. Moose, I understand you’re here to stop an assassination?”.
“Correct,” said Jamal.
The meeting was on the infinitieth floor, guarded by lasers, skeletons, poison spikes, holes, giant flames, quicksand, Godzilla, lava, sharks, bear traps, lions, and a soundproof invisible force field around the whole thing making it impossible to infiltrate unless you touched it with a chocolate bar from the vending machine around 300,000 x infinity floors below the meeting (what a long elevator ride). As Jamal was walking(technically still trotting) to the meeting he noticed pictures of all the presidents along the hallway.
They finally arrived at the meeting room. Jamal pulled out his chocolate bar and touched the force field. Jamal quickly galloped in, because a second later, it closed, keeping the meeting completely private, and almost singing his tail on the force field. The members of the meeting welcomed Jamal a force field seat because he was the only person that could see out the window with his moose vision. Since there was really nothing to talk about, they decided to have lunch. In the middle of eating his carrots, he saw a person in black come out of a black limo, and walked, with his gun out, toward the president’s office.
Jamal hastily took a parachute out of his pants (don’t ask), touched the force field with his chocolate bar, and jumped. Without his parachute on, he took out his tranq sniper and quick scoped the guy in the black. He pulled the string at the last second and drifted gently on the ground. “You are under arrest for an attempted assassination of the president.
A secret service agent walked up to Jamal. “The president thanks you for saving his life. He is inviting you to a dinner party tonight to celebrate his success.”
Later that night, Jamal sat down at the table. He looked around at the table. He saw the President, the Vice President, The secretary of state, Secret Service director, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ Staff, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ staff, and the General of the United States Armed Forces. But Jamal noticed that there was one empty seat, with a nameplate that said, “Mr. X(tra damage), Director of the CIA.” Everybody knows that Mr. X(tra damage) is a formidable man, and has no sense of humor and can’t take a joke, and Billy’s head in the display case reminds us of that every time we walk in his office(it’s better if you don’t imagine that). Jamal wondered why Mr. X(tra damage) wasn’t here. Mr. X(tra damage) was a big fan of free food, he would never miss a party like this.
Jamal’s first idea was that he was late. But he dismissed that thought. Mr. X always got there first because he wanted to make sure he could get a lot of free food, and eat it hot. His next thought was that Mr.X(tra damage) got kidnapped/killed. But he dismissed that thought quickly as well. Mr.X(tra damage)’s identity was top secret to everyone except him and the president. Also, the CIA director knew 200 different styles of martial arts(Jamal knew 201.) That left only one reason that Jamal could think of. He was going to kill the President. But how was he going to kill the President, when he wasn’t there?
Then a small beep brought Jamal’s attention to the turkey platter in front of him. There was another beep. And another beep. And another. And another. They were getting faster.
“There’s a bomb in the turkey!” Jamal cried.
He leaped up onto the table, picked up the turkey with his antlers, and chucked it out the window. The bomb exploded. There were only 200 civilian casualties. The rest was a group of very unlucky secret service agent who happened to be walking next to the window.
Jamal jumped at the window to get to the lawn to find Mr. X(tra damage). He looked at the security gates and saw him rushing through security. Mr. X(tra damage) looked towards Jamal and spotted him. He started sprinting away. Jamal raced after him. They both ran through the security gates. Up ahead, a taxi was idling, waiting for Mr. X(tra damage). He was about to getaway. Jamal picked up the pace. And tripped. Down he went. Onto the ground. He was thinking that this would be his first failed mission. Then he saw Mr. X(tra damage) trip.
“What the?” Jamal asked.
He then saw his glorious partner, a sloth, slowly rise from a bush. “Hey, Jamal!”
“Henry, you are the world’s greatest sloth.”
“I know.”
Jamal stood up and took a pair of handcuffs out of his pants(He would have let Henry do it, but he would be dead by then). Mr. X(tra damage) was arrested. Jamal got a medal for his service to the United States. Henry was promoted from Junior CIA Agent to Senior CIA Agent.
Point guard: The point guard position is the person who is the playmaker and brings the ball up the court and passes to the makes the plays.
Shooting guard: The shooting guard is the secondary position, shooting guard helps the point guard bring the ball up the court, sometimes the best shooter.
Small Foward: The third position, while the shooting and the point guard bring the ball up the court they try to find an open spot to hit a 3 pointer or a layup.
Power Foward: Power Foward is the fourth position. Sometimes, Power Foward does the tip-off if the center can’t. Power Foward tries to stay inside the 3point line, such as where the paint is under the basket.
Center: The center does the tip-off so their team can get the ball. The center is like the power forward but just a little bit taller and tends to stay in the paint.
They work as a team by working together trying to get 2 points or 3 points and trying to beat the other team.
Bowling is my favorite sport and I do it every Saturday (in a league).
They have teams of four but sometimes people already bowled so then they don’t have to bowl when its league time. Every person rolls two times then on to the next person. After the whole team has bowled in a frame and the other team has only two people that went and the other 2 waiting for the other team can not bowl until the other team is done with the one frame.
1 Year later
Still in leisure lanes but my highest score in bowling is 169 in one game. Still three games in one week of the league meaning we play three games on Saturday, then we are done with the session until next week. Teams can lose up to four points or lets say that I got 143 and the person on the other team has 154. I would lose one point for the team so it would be 3-1 on our team instead 4-0 because I lost the team a point. I play without bumpers but before I did but I switched over to not using it anymore but my average is 121!
