Hi my name Archimedes, but you can call me Archie, I’m going to tell you about my life. To start off, when i was a puppy I had big paws and I was covered in fur. When I ran to go get something I was basically roller skating because I slid everywhere. Also, I love chewing on everything: my toys, the couch, the siding, cardboard boxes, and my favorite TREATS. My family has a special drawer for me with all my things in it, and when they go over their I KNOW that they are getting a treat for me. Anyway let’s get back on topic I was potty trained very easily with the help of puppy pads (waterproof paper that you put on the floor) but you know nobody perfect and I had many many many accidents within training. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that my breath stank when I was a puppy, but not anymore… thankfully. I like to sleep with my mama every night because I get scared of the dark and start barking if i hear something. 

So now this is Year two of my little life. I was growing up fast and I was catching up to my big brother Reggie (he’s not actually my brother though) But this is not about him it’s about me. If you didn’t know that I was a very self-centered little puppy that is not afraid of other dogs unless its a really big dog then i go behind my mama’s legs and she picks me up. She says ¨Its ok little baby, they won’t hurt you.” But that’s only when I go outside. Sometimes they don’t put a leash on me and I can run around the yard, but they always catch me because I’m not to fast. Ohh, and I love when my mama sings to me when she’s giving me a bath and then after I get a treat and a brushing and an ear rub. By this time I am fully potty trained and can go outside by my self. I love walking up to the park with my family, but if it’s too hot or cold than I don’t like it. When I come in I like to lay on the floor and drink water I like to drip it everywhere. 

Football is a fun sport but you have to put a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication into it, and when you do it pays off. Football is a physical, and mentally tough sport, and not everyone can play it. Especially if you are a running back, quarterback, or a wide receiver because they have to memorize all the plays.They have to know what to do, and because they are the positions that get hit hard a lot, and score the most. A lot of people that watch football think that the most important people are the people that get the ball or the quarterback. But the most important part of the football team is the offensive line. Without the offensive line, the quarterback would get sacked every time and you probably would never get to score unless there was a turnover. Offensive line is very important and it is very hard sometimes especially when you are outmatched. Football is a very tough sport and it’s really physical and hard to play but it’s also fun.

Gerald was a boy, and he was thirty-three. Tomorrow was his birthday and today was Thursday the twelfth. In about fifteen minutes his friend, Timmy, would be at his house. 

Gerald’s house was huge, it used to be the ireland boys house but then they got an even bigger house. That house is great, it has a pool, a foam pit, a sauna, and it is great for hide and seek. Oh, and don’t forget the spiral staircase! 

Then, he heard the doorbell ring, and he sprinted to the door.

“Hey Gerald!”

“Hi man, how’s it going.”

“Good, how are you?” asked Timmy.

“Great, come on in.” replied Gerald.

For the rest of the night they played Destiny, Call of Duty, Rainbow 6 Siege, and Need for Speed. They also stuffed themselves with junk food: pizza, chips, nuggets, burgers, cupcakes, and cookies. 

The next day, Timmy woke up and saw that he and Gerald had both fallen asleep on the couch with food all over, and the tv running. He looked around and saw that there were presents that were not there before. He turned off the TV, and cleaned the food up.

Then he heard a noise from outside, it came closer, then he went closer to the noise so he would not wake up Gerald.

“Who’s there?” He looked out the window. “Huh, I don’t see anything.”

The door slowly swung open. A woman and a man tiptoed in holding presents.

“We have to be quiet, we don’t want to wake them.” said the woman.

“Them?” asked the man.

“I think Gerald has Timmy over.”

They both walked right past Timmy and then he stood up and said, “ Yeah, I think Timmy is here.”

 The man and woman spun around and Timmy realized that they were Gerald’s mom and dad. 

“Hey Timmy! Derall could you go get the rest of the presents from the car please? Thanks. How’s it going Timmy, I haven’t seen you for so long.” 

“Great to see you too.” he looked at the clock and it was only 7:00A.M. “Why here so early.”

She answered him,”Well we always show up early on his birthday, then sleep at his house this year he is going to love his present!” 

“Well I guess I better get going to bed. See ya.”

Timmy walked back to the fold out couch next to the tv, and went to sleep.the second time he woke up at 9:00 A.M. and he saw that Gerald and his parents were at the counter eating breakfast. Gerald was glad that everyone was awake because then they could have a conversation at breakfast. But they didn’t.

Then, Gerald’s dad went up the stairs to get the big surprise, while he opened the other presents. He was so confused why there were dog toys, dog food, a crate, and random dog things. There were other things to though that he was not confused about.

Then his dad walked down the stairs with a mini goldendoodle puppy. After everyone left, except Timmy, they went over to the foam pit. Gerald had tons of duct tape, so they build a dog bed/house and put it next to their beds.  After that they took him around for a tour of tour of the house and thought of a name. They took him in the pool and taught him to swim.They dried off in the sauna and decided to name him Max. 

 They loved Max, He loved them, But now it was time for bed. It was a full moon night and they were all asleep. 

Something creeped down stairs, it slowly crawled up the spiral staircase. CReAK CREaK cREaK. Max barked. It woke up Gerald and Timmy, so they started to walk down the stairs. 

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

I put up my hair. It hurts.

   Why am I not good enough?

I wear my high tops that blister my feet.

    Why am I not good enough?

I wear makeup. My breakout is worse.

        Why am I not good enough?

I wear my leggings too tight.

        Why am I not good enough?

l can’t be myself. I dye my hair

      WHY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

We can’t be good enough.

         So we won’t be.

 Why even try anymore?

 Bullies everywhere.

Pushing and shoving our personas.

  We have to change to be her friend… to be “popular”

  Why am I not good enough?

    Why are we not good enough?

          I know why…

          Because we believed them when they said we were       ugly.

           And now, because of them… we arent the same

I think that we should start doing something pollution before it’s too late, like I saw this video about this turtle were there was a plastic straw stuck in its nose and who knows how long it had had it in there luckily these fishermen found it and took the straw out but you could see it was in a lot of pain. 

Who knows how many more animals that live in the water and we are just killing them and don’t even know it and some people realize but don’t seem to care about it and just throw stuff out the window of there car and it flys around with the wind into the water.

its not all just in water it’s also in the air that could cause a lot of problems for us or anything that needs fresh air if we keep throwing smoke or other chemicals into the air and that could start killing our food sources like cows or pigs and start killing them and we can’t eat them because they inhaled chemicals.

And just as you thought it was just in the air and water you wrong it’s on the ground and in our atmosphere when your in a car on the highway look to the side and see what we are doing to this planet  we should start doing something about all the trash and pollution because if we don’t then we are going to destroy Earth and everyone with it.

You support, you help, you have a voice for your community. You hear on the news and on TV that it’s only one in a million well turns out, our community is the one that happens to have two young, talented, hard-working men get diagnosed with cancer. They’re a part of are school and our community. We knew we had to raise awareness. We were speaking out and helping the cause, we were wearing orange and yellow shirts to school to support them. We were helping their families, posting on social media. We can bring the good out of this and come together in community.

Ryan Smith has Leukemia Cancer and yes it’s difficult but it must help a lot how our school is supporting him. Our student section at the High School football game is wearing orange to show support for Ryan. Many sports teams are wearing orange somehow to support Ryan. Our field hockey team wore orange ribbons and people have orange bracelets. The girl’s soccer team is selling whoopie pies for him and his friends set up a go fund me page. There is so much going on to help him it’s crazy. It’s amazing how our school came together for one single person going through a rough time. That shows a lot about our school, it shows that we support one another and that we will do whatever we can to help students in a difficult situation. 

Ryan isn’t our only student fighting. Tobias Leman is also going through close to the same thing that Ryan is. The entire community came together and wore yellow and made posters for him. He has been very strong throughout the obstacle in his life right now. The community is supporting him and there is definitely good coming out of this. It’s amazing how the support around us is so great that other schools are starting to make a difference too and are supporting him. We know he can get over this obstacle in his life and feel that that the community is supporting him.

Our community has come together to support two individuals who are going through a rough time. We’re proud of the way we responded to this, it shows a lot about L-S. If it were me it would be very comforting knowing that there are thousands of students are thinking of me. It’s pretty amazing that our school is making bracelets and doing so much to support the two of them. We know they will stay strong through this rough obstacle in their life and we know our community has their back every step of the way.

 I’m sorry I am not good enough. 

     I’m sorry I treated you badly.

     I’m sorry I can’t get straight A’s.

I was at my church one day getting lunch then I got it, and then I was walking down the aisle and I thought it would be cool to put my tray/plate above my head. After that I balanced it for a few moments, after that you know what happened… the tray/plate flipped and then all the food fell down. It was on my shirt, face, head and my hair, pants,even my shoes! Before that everyone was eating talking and minding their own business before my tray flipped with all the food. Next!… Everyone just stopped what they are doing includes eating, playing on their phones, and minding their own business, and then… everyone just looked my way and stared at me. Then I just dropped everything. After that I just stopped what I was doing and I think that I ran to the bathroom, and just started cleaning myself up and then I was very sad. I did not clean up my mess I think my family cleaned it up or some random person. I remembered some of the  food that I had, I had meat and vegetables and some chips or something.The smell was very bad if I remember right. After that I just went into the gym and played, then I went home.
