Let me tell you about the most famous and legendary quarterback ever. His name is Aaron Rodgers.One Sunday they were playing the Chicago Bears.The Bears muttered that Rodgers is not as great as everyone thinks.Their defense just glared. As I watch the TV, I flinched when Aaron Rogers got sacked. The other team was snickering. They thought it was going to be a easy win for them. Aaron Rodgers stepped back and threw a 70 yard pass for a touchdown! All the Bears watched and gaped at the amazing play. Everyone was stunned. This was not a fluke. The Bears were snickering that he was bad. It was just the greatest play ever.
Jesus heals the Devil Possessed Man by Ana Buske
Jesus was in the synagogue in Capernaum on the Sabbath day. The people were were amazed at what Jesus taught. Suddenly a man who was controlled by a evil spirit started yelling at Jesus. Jesus told the evil spirit, ‘’Keep quiet and come out of him !‘“ All the people were amazed at what he did.

You may not know this about me, but I am training to be a ninja. Right now, I am not a good ninja. In fact, no one really knows that I even exist, but am real. If you saw me use my ninja skills, you would probably not be impressed. However, I am actually very nimble when I move across the floor. One time, a fierce animal crept into my room. Well, maybe it was just a mouse, but I still used my ninja skills to make that mouse cease from running into any other parts of the house. In fact, I killed it. When I showed my mom the dead mouse, she shrieked. I thought the mouse was quite slick, but mom made me get rid of it immediately. I guess I still need to practice being a good ninja.

Every year my dad and I plant a garden. He inspires me to get outside and grow food for our family. Spending so much time with my dad helps us form a special bond. We grow a unique type of tomato plant. The branches are very flexible. You have to have delicate hands when you place the cage over the plant so you don’t break the plant. My dad and I take turns watering the plants in intervals. We both take our turns. Another important part of growing plants is to make sure the bunnies don’t infest our garden. We make sure that we preserve these tomatoes because eating them is the best part of having our garden.

Over Christmas break my family had plans to fly to San Francisco, California. We were all looking forward to traveling there. We, however, had to alter our plans because of all the wildfires that destroyed huge areas of that part of northern California. It is still treacherous to go there because there are areas that could still be smoldering. I was extremely discouraged because I had gone through all the drudgery of packing my luggage, now for nothing. But just as I was about to unpack, I found out that we were now going to Florida instead. At first, I was skeptical when I heard this. I even scoffed at my mom because I didn’t think it could be true. It was only when we arrived with our suitcases at the airport that I believed that we were really on our way to Florida! Then and only then, I knew she was telling the truth.

One day I had a brilliant idea. I was going to participate in a basketball game. Before we left for the game, my dog Piper came into our living room with an exotic, unicorn stuffed animal dangling from her mouth. I yelled at Piper and said, “That's my favorite stuffy! Drop it!” Then my mom told me on the way to the game that my ancestors were also really good at basketball. Hailey and Calissa were on my team too. After the game we stopped at a Qdoba to eat. Haliey and Calissa came with us also. Our waiter was very nice to us. While we were eating, music started playing. Some people starting dancing very gracefully. When the people got off the dance floor, Hailey, Calissa, and I then went out to dance. When I got home, my little brother was being mischievous. Since I played horribly in my basketball game, Judah tried to trick me with a dollar bill to distract my attention during the game. When the game was over, he threw the baseketball right into my face. You see, my little brother is a stinker, and his actions embarrassed me. All in all, it was a weird day!

Yesterday, I went to my brother’s basketball game. Their whole season had been a journey with lots of ups and downs. They had won some and lost some. Now they were playing in the championship game. They were down by one. Coach Rindfleisch called a timeout. The team huddled around Coach to hear his plan. There were many opportunities throughout the game to pull ahead, but the shots just wouldn’t drop.
Toward the end of the game we scored a bucket, giving us a one point lead. The other team then scored a bucket with seconds left in the game. Unfortunately, we lost by one point. After the game, my brother Micah came out of the locker room and burst into tears. We comforted him and got him some egg rolls, his favorite snack. In the end, even though he was sad, he recognized that winning isn’t everything. He realized that getting this far was still an accomplishment.

When I was walking into the violin performance room, I recognized a girl was also present at the last recital. I saw a remarkable thing in my teacher’s attache case. I didn’t know what it was. I also saw Cal’s sister being stealthy in the hallway, trying to not be seen. I extracted my violin from its case. As I was getting my instrument out, my teacher said that I was suitable for playing the violin. I had an advantage of being able to perform a song that I was not going learn. I was withstood my nervousness and jitters as I presented my music. It seemed that the people listening liked my music. I had a good practice.

“Help! Help! Oh my, it is of no use! We are going to be stuck out here forever, Hailey. Yep, we have not been off this island in years. I am pretty sure that we have become part of ancient history. We have to try to get off, Hailey“
“I have an idea,” replied Hailey. “Because the next island is so very distant, we have to make a boat to row to the next island. There we can get more supplies so we can keep going until we get back to the United States.”
“Ok,” I said. “Let’s go get some supplies.”
“Umm, we have a problem,” said Hailey.
“What? We have a problem?” I asked. “ I see sentries in front of that building with the supplies. How are we going to get in there?”
“We will have to fight,” said Hailey.
“WHAT?” I said. “That’s crazy!” Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a glistening, wet, big stick that looked like I could use as a weapon. We broke it in half and started hitting the guarding sentries until they ran away. Finally, we got the supplies and started building our boat.
I became so weary and tired from building our escape boat. While we were building, I got a little piece of wood embedded in my finger. I quickly pulled it out. “OUCH!”
“Back to building!” Hailey shouted. When we finished construction, we launched our boat in the water and gave it a push and then hopped in. We started rowing until I heard a weird noise. After a while, I saw what it was. It, it, it was a, a, a WATERFALL! “Oh no!” I said.
“Oh no, what?” Hailey nervously asked.
“Here we go, Hailey- AHHHHHH!” The water was cascading and rushing past us. POW! We hit the water.
“Oh, that's what you meant!” she said.
The water was so powerful that it was eroding away the hillside. After hitting the bottom, we floated out to the ocean. After many days at sea, we could see the United States in the distance. We had made it safely back home. I was glad to have a friend that helped me get back!

One day I was having a picnic at the park. The park was located right next to Lake Michigan. The location had a scenic overlook of the lake. It also had a behemoth playground. I went down the big, ginormous slide and climbed up the rock wall. Then it was time for a snack. I had some chips that were fanciful because I was picturing in my head that they were going to eat me. Right next to the playground was a big colossal dinosaur that was plastic, but you could sit on it. I later ate my lunch looking out over the lake. I saw what looked like a pirate ship off on the horizon, but it was just an illusion. For my lunch I ate a big, hearty Jimmy John’s sub. My little brother had lost his Gatorade so I cordially asked him if he wanted mine. I had a great day at the park.
