Why am I still a baby?\u201d I wondered. (reads bottle that says, The liquid will take one day to work) \u201cSeriously.

What problem are you talking about?\u201d My friend wonders. \u201c THERE\u2019S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! FOLLOW ME!\u201d I screamed. \u201cOk, so my great grandfather said if you mix that, and that, it will make a cure for anything! I exclaimed. But we need bait so we can lewer in the cheetah and eat the bait, and we put some of that cure on the bait!\u201d I yelled happily. \u201c What a genius!\u201d My friend screamed. \u201c OOH HERE THE CHEETAH COMES!&nbsp; STAY QUIET!\u201d I whispered loudly. \u201cYES! HE ATE IT!

There were many different sharks, fishs, turtles, etc. But there was this one thing that caught my eye.. It was a FISH THAT WAS PICKING STUFF UP , (If you didn&#8217;t get it the super power is super STRENGTH) The fish was lifting stuff AND THROWING THEM ON PEOPLE! Me as a normie.. RAN! Then I thought in my brain who&#8217;s gonna save the zoo. I can&#8217;t just leave the zoo in terror or else I&#8217;ll be a scaredy cat like everybody else. So I used all the courage that&#8217;s inside of me, and ran back to the zoo. When I went back I noticed that the fish had a submarine looking tube on his head with water to be able to breathe. So I took a nail that was on the floor and threw it FAST on the fish&#8217;s tube and surprisingly it worked. The tube broke and the fish died from lack of breath ( I know it&#8217;s really sad but it had to be done.) &#8211; Yunus E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MY THOUGHTS THURSDAY!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My favorite sport is soccer! It&#8217;s also known as futbol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To begin, I love soccer because when I score a goal for my team I get really excited! As you play soccer your legs will gain muscle, when you keep on kicking the ball. It can improve muscle tone and helps you build communication and teamwork skills. Next, it can help you develop strong friendships with your teammates. You can improve your health and help with decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Secondly, soccer will provide you with valuable connections. Soccer is very athletic and teaches you success through hard work. You can become a good team player and build strength and flexibility. It can increase muscle and bone strength. Soccer improves health in between walking, running, and sprinting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thirdly, it can decrease cholesterol, risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Our brains also release a number of chemicals when we workout. It can also improve your memory, sharpen your focus and change your mood. Next, it can reduce the risk of suffering from depression. Your self esteem and your confidence can also get a boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fourthly, you can learn through failure. Also it can build your confidence and nurture your mind. It lowers body fat and increases muscle and bone strength. Playing soccer helps reduce anxiety and teaches coordination. It can also increases brain function<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, is your favorite sport soccer? I hope it is! &#8211; Ezra K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAKE BELIEVE MONDAY!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So I was busy experimenting on some stuff I had here at home. That&#8217;s when I heard a knock on the door, I replied,\u201cWho&#8217;s there?\u201d They didn&#8217;t answer. So I went up to the door and saw\u2026 StRaNgEr (StRaNgEr DaNgEr) I was like, \u201cWho are you exactly?\u201d He said, \u201cI&#8217;m your Wish Come True.\u201d And i replied confusingly, \u201cOk\u2026And what do you want for me \u201cWish Come True.\u201d He replied nicely \u201cI want you to take this ticket.\u201d Sooo, I took the ticket, and looked at it\u2026 And as soon as I say, \u201cAnd Why are you giving me th-\u201d He vanished\u2026 It said on the ticket, \u201cWatch Channel 109 at 7:00- 7:30.\u201d And I was like to myself, \u201cHmmm\u2026. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"46\" height=\"33\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/4miBF5S8qT0m-rmMLDRJ3mPZLfVjTuAclbJicKbJpjtVPrq22Y190-pSbKxfZwJ6FSVPCVT2E-YoDUtnIjblDv19QM3hv_9GblIEqdXROQXda7NGswb6Nmzk9ejMxbTIW0N5K_YC\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>:5 Hours Later: AH, finally. The big moment has come, before I knew it that channel 109 was a lottery channel&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway i kept on watching, Until the winning numbers WERE UP.*Me and the man in the channel say it together* \u201c373829834.\u201d *turns off TV* Well I guess I won the lottery. Some people would absolutely go crazy\/nuts and practically destroy their house and go to a state of paralysis if they won the lottery. And you wanna know something\u2026 I&#8217;M LIKE SOME PEOPLE! *craziness goes on for about 3h 45m 26s 34ms* And if you&#8217;re wondering what was the amount of cash I was going to receive, well, Let me say it like this: It was A LOT. So much in fact, That i got to meet ELON MUSK *Me thinking where a reasonable place for mEmEs in this story..?* AHA! *Finds a reasonable place for MeMeS in this story* I SHAKE HANDS WITH THE CEO OF SpaceX. (In fact i fAiNtEd half way through\u2026. Was kinda embarrassing not gonna lie&#8230;) SO i asked Elon musk if \u201cwe\u201d could watch memes (here are my chances =&gt; 99.999 no\/ 0.001 yes EDIT:0.0000000000000000000000000001 Yes i would love to ) He Said.. \u201cYes i would love to\u201d SO me and the billionaire Elon Musk watched memes happily ever after&#8230;  &#8211; Yunus E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAKE BELIEVE MONDAY!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ZAP! I woke up and couldn&#8217;t move. My body was shining like a bright star. \u201cWhat could this be?\u201d I felt like I had a new body. I slowly got up from my bed and looked in the mirror. \u201cOh my goodness!\u201d I said, \u201cWhat happened to me?\u201d I feel like I transformed into a superhero. I began to think, what do superheroes do? \u201cAh!, they help anyone that is in a bad situation!\u201d Then I started to think, \u201cIf I have this power to help others I might as well use it!\u201d&nbsp; Suddenly, \u201ccrash!\u201d I heard&nbsp; windows break. I ran to my window and looked outside, I saw all the people throwing big rocks at the houses trying to set the houses on fire. There was so much shouting going on. This angered me, \u201cI have to do something about this.\u201d I had to do something and do it fast before anyone got seriously hurt. Since I had the power to do anything I flew out my window and used my superpowers to get everyone\u2019s attention and froze them in their place. I decided to do the right thing so I made a speech. Everyone&#8217;s attention was on me. I started to speak loudly, telling everyone \u201cI have a dream! that everyone will stop the hate on eachother, that people\u2019s hearts will turn from black to red. If anyone is angry, talk about it and find a solution to the problem.\u201d I could see everyone\u2019s black hearts turn to red with love. As I unfroze everyone, everyone looked at their actions and felt ashamed and embarrassed. They immediately said they were sorry and offered to fix any damages they did. After that the clouds separated and the sun started to shine on everyone. I could see everyone smile and shout \u201dhooray!\u201d From that day on everyone was kind and helpful.  &#8211; Ezra K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WORDS OF WISDOM WEDNESDAY: &#8220;The more than you read, the more things you&#8217;ll know. The more you learn, the more places you&#8217;ll go.&#8221; &#8211; Dr. Seuss<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This quote really caught my attention.&nbsp; The lesson being taught behind this quote is that people would have more knowledge as they read. Therefore, once they have gained the knowledge they tend to view the world differently. They will have more experience and view life from a different perspective. This quote applies to my own life because the more i read the better understanding I have of what is going on around me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Bye mom \u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Bye sweetheart \u2019\u2019 she replied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I leave my house and take the normal route I take everyday to the school bus stop. But today there was something different on my way to the bus stop, I found an old bottle laying there on the sidewalk. It was very dirty and rusty. I was very curious about what was inside of it. My imagination took control and I couldn&#8217;t stop the different scenarios that could happen if I opened it. My curiosity almost led me to miss the bus. Luckily my friend shouted my name to hurry up and without hesitation I grabbed the old, rusty bottle and started running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>( 6 hours later )&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Door opens *<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Mom i\u2019m home\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Silence *&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Mom where are you? \u2019\u2019&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c I&#8217;m in the kitchen \u2019\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I walk to the kitchen, and can\u2019t stop thinking of the bottle I found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow was school today?\u201d my mom asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike everyday, i have a lot of homework so i&#8217;m going to my room\u201d I replied<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay good luck\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was going up the stairs I remembered I had that rusty old bottle. So I sat on my bed and opened it. When I opened it it looked like there was a rolled up piece of paper. So I took the paper out and unrolled it to see what message it held.&nbsp; As I was unrolling it I could see letters in caps that spelled out something about my mom. So I hurry up and unroll it to see what it says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It read&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR MOM!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it had no name from who it was from or who it was for. Then I started getting worried. I didn&#8217;t know if something bad was really going to happen to MY mom. All of these negative thoughts came to my mind, I couldn&#8217;t handle it so I went downstairs to investigate and see if my mom was okay and if something bad has happened to hear lately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you ok mom, is something hurting you? Are you getting fired from your terrible job? Have you been experiencing something weird lately?\u2019\u2019 I asked, in a very worried voice that she also had noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c No sweetheart I&#8217;m fine! Why are you asking me all these questions? Did something bad happen?&nbsp; Are you okay sweetie\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Yes, i\u2019m ok i\u2019m just worried about you.\u2019\u2019 I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c What, why? \u2019\u2019 she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Because I found\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* RINGGG *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c Hold on sweetheart let me answer the phone\u2019\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh no, i thought to myself what if she is going to be getting bad news right now. I can\u2019t handle my mom being sad or upset. She only deserves happiness. As i was getting lost in my thoughts i hear my mom screaming \u201c AWWWW \u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I jump out of my chair and run up to her&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c WHAT&#8217;S WRONG \u2019\u2019 I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh my god sweetheart I am so sorry for shouting and scaring you but I just got some amazing news I have been hired at the law firm I applied for\u2026..I\u2019m going to be a lawyer.\u2019\u2019&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c What \u2019\u2019&nbsp; I shouted. \u201cI am so happy for you mom. And proud of you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I go back upstairs to my room and as I was laying there on my bed I remember the note that I found in the rusty old bottle. I sat up and took it in my hand and as I was rereading that line that said \u201cSOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR MOM!\u201d, I remembered something my teacher taught me. She said to never think in a negative way about anything, always look for the positive side of things, because there is always an upside to everything. I put the note down and ran back downstairs to my mom and gave her a big hug and said&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve learned a new lesson today mom, to be optimistic and see the positive side of things\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood for you sweetheart and I love you so much\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love you too, mom,\u201d I said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So I was strolling outside on my daily walk and then, \u201cWoah, a bottle?\u201d and then I think to myself, \u201cMan, human kind really hates the earth? How much litter can the earth TAKE!\u201d That&#8217;s when I noticed that there was a folded paper inside. I opened the bottle and read the folded paper, it said, \u201cWhoever picks up this paper, make a wish and it will become true!\u201d I thought to myself, \u201cYour kidding what a HOAX I&#8217;m not gonna believe a paper!\u201d And from there I continued my daily walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TEACHER OF THE DAY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When I was walking to school then I went to my classroom and I saw that my teacher was absent!
