I have written many things in English 1 over the past semester. These are a few of the writings I chose to share with you...
===In this assignment, Mrs. Pilgreen asked us to write a math word problem on Glogster. We had to decorate the background, make it look creative, check the spelling, and just over all have a good time doing it.===

Mrs. Pilgreen assigned us an essay. This essay was called The Soundtrack of My Life. I put three of my memorable events into my essay, and with them, I placed songs that remind me of these events.
“It’s a boy!” Since a few days after I was born, I have lived in Miami, Florida. I have played baseball since I was five. It is my life during the summer. I have also been in the Miami school district since kindergarten. Music has always been a way to escape from the world for me. All of these things have made me the person I am today.

I was young, naïve, and unsure. My braces were going to be put on. I was going to be operated on by Dr. Drew. He was nice to me, nice to my mother, and nice to my family. For the first time of many, I walked into the “high-tech” operation room. I was instructed to take a seat and just relax. Before I knew it, I had some nasty glue in my mouth. It tasted like spoiled milk. I could not even feel the braces being place on my teeth. After that, I was told to get up and brush my teeth. Next, I sat back down, and the orthodontist place wires on my brackets. My teeth hurt for weeks after. I will never forget getting my braces put on. A song that reminds me of this event is “Like a G6”. Because I had braces on, I felt on top of the world, and that is what this song is about.

My heart beat fast. I was going in the biggest game of the tournament. This was no ordinary game. This was the highly anticipated championship game of the tournament. We had beaten a very good team, the Bombers, to get to this point. Medds had started the game. He pitched the entire first inning, and he gave up on run. Everyone’s spirits were as low as the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean. Then, the second inning rolled around. I was put into the game! Unbelievably, the innings kept flying by, the time was flying by. It was the final inning before I knew it. I have used my defense a lot so far, and they had helped me out. We had two outs in the seventh. I threw the pitch. It was hit very hard! It was directly towards the right fielder. He caught it! We had won the 2009 tournament. I chose “We are the Champions” as the song for this experience.

To the sound of my alarm clock, I woke up. I hopped out of bed and began to get ready. I was in the car on my way to school before I knew it. It felt like we were going one million miles per hour. Leaving the car, I walked into school. I was starting my first day of high school. I walked to my locker as fast as a cheetah. There were a lot of people. The seniors seemed to be full frown adults. After putting my things into my locker, I found my friends. We did not know what to do, so we went to class fifteen minutes early. The day flew by. We got a syllabus in every class. It was not too bad after all. “Teenage Dream” reminds me of my first day of high school. It was always my dream to be a high-schooler, and now I am.

From the many experience I have had, I have enjoyed and learned many important lessons. I have learned to make the best of what I have. Through it all, my family has always been there for me. I could not ask for anything more. Now that I am starting my journey through high school, I am ready for whatever comes my way.
