Rambling Autobiography

I remember when my older brother, Ron, and I used to play in the back of the neighborhood woods. One day we bet each other who could climb higher I even remember the day it was three days before my tenth birthday. I found a pretty good climbing tree and started going up I looked over to my brother who was only a couple trees away and he was already alot higher than me. I didnt make it that far up before everything went wrong luckily. I heard two snaps the first snap was the branch the next one was my arm. I knew it was broken and I could'nt get up. My brother finally got down and helped me up and walked me to the abandoned basketball court in the middle of the woods that older kids in my neighborhood use as a fight club. We were going throgh a short cut and got to the house my dad came home early that day so he took me to the hospital. Ticked, My dad would'nt let us go into the woods anymore.

Down the road late in the dark ominous night, the battle scarred captain roamed. He awoke the darkness by slapping the road's rocky surface with his stick. Blinded in war, he lost his eyes serving England and King George.The street lights teased his wounds so he had a blueish green towel shading his eyes, and he was cautiously sauntering along the road one step at a time.

Rough Draft

Topic 1

I grew up in a quiet but also lively neighborhood in Gwinnett County, Lawrenceville Georgia. The kids are good but the only thing fun to do is stupid things. We don’t have a pool or clubhouse like other neighborhoods around, so we have to make our own fun. For example playing baseball, basketball, football, anything with a ball really. We even wrestle in my friend Jeremy’s basement because he has a mat and punching bag. The reason that I like to be competitive is mostly from all of the things sports around me in my neighborhood. it made real wrestling easier because there are more rules. In my neighborhood wrestling is a free-for-all. Wrestling with people who don’t really know the rules is harder than a clean match because they are always doing illegal moves like locked hands. learning how to beat people who are doing illegal moves on you make it a lot easier to win in a good clean high school wrestling match. You got to be tough to win any sports in my neighborhood. There are also some older friends in my neighborhood that I want to be like because they are cool. There is a guy named Andrew Krawuski, we call him AK I look up to him because he won state in wrestling and he is a nice person, he lives in the neighborhood next to me and plays outside a lot and is always starting football games.I think there are more steps I can go through in my neighborhood that will make me more mature in the long run. We don’t have to experiment with the stupid things because we already have.My older brother and sisters have done fine so I expect the same for me at this point I have a different plan for my life than my sisters and brothers.my parents are successful my brothers and sisters are going to be successful so I expect the same for me.My plans are to someday go on a crab boat in Alaska it sounds thrilling. I plan on after I’ve become a veteran crab fisher to save up enough money to buy my own boat. I would even start up my own crew it would be a lot better life than sitting at a desk all day. If you would go to my neighborhood for a day you would say that it reflects my personality well.

SAT Practice

My point of view is that people have very different ways of approaching past issues. If you have failed at something in the past you will always have a partial mindset that you will fail again. In saying that I also know that memories will also make you more likely to overcome obstacles in in your past. One experience I had was making a choice to do the right thing when a situation got handed to me. I know from past problems that it can get you in trouble if you associate yourself with the wrong people. My advice with this is if you know that something is going to be an issue, then try to avoid it. Think about what you did last time and make the changes. It will most likely turn out better than you thought it would.
