"We got another one" I yelled in the house. There on my front porch was another whole human. Once my dad heard me, he quickly ran to the porch to take it inside. He took it into the basement as he usually does. About five minutes later I heard my dad yell " Johnny, come down stairs, I want to talk". On my way down to the basement I heard my mom say "do you think he's ready to know? I don't think its a good idea." 
 When I reached the bottom of the stairs I saw the package I had recently seen on the porch, except it was open. I sat at the bottom of the staircase patiently waiting for them to call me over. My dad walked up to me and grabbed my shoulders pushing me into the direction of the box. At first I was hesitant , but I continued to walk forward. When I reached the table where the box was placed my dad told me to go ahead and look inside. Inside the box there was zip-lock bags labeled "fingers", "ears", "heart", and so on. I immediately stepped back with my eyes as wide as they have ever been. I tried walking upstairs but my dad grabbed me and sat me down on a chair. He said " I know your scared son, but this is a family business. You have to understand that." All I remember saying after that was "family business"?.... To Be Continued

If I had to choose if I consider myself to be and introvert or extrovert I would say I was extrovert. I feel that I was an extrovert because I have an vocal personality. When I am with my friends I like to joke around , be loud, and act crazy. I love joking around with my friends because I like to laugh and I feel good when I make other laugh. Next, I like to be loud around my friends because I think it is fun. We can talk junk about one another and still laugh about it and continue to have a good time. Also, when I act crazy by making faces or do something weird and funny which makes my friends laugh. I am crazy for the way I go off or speak my mind. I am an extrovert because I care about what other think about me and my appears in public. That is why I feel as though I am more of an extrovert.

Ten Copies

 If I had ten copies of myself for a day I would have them do many things. First, I would have about five of my clones (copies) study for my finals and each clone would have a different subject. That would include reading all the chapters we learned in each subject over again, making flash cards, and going over old tests to review the right answers. Next, I would have a clone go sky diving. I would rather my clone go sky diving because I would be too scared to actually do it and at the end of the day all of their memories would become mine. I would be able to remember sky diving without having to risk doing it. Then, I would have one of my clones attend school for me and do my homework so I could sleep in and not worry about doing work all day. Another one of my clones would do all my chores or favors my mom asked me to do around the house. Finally, the last two clones would pamper me all day. They would give me manicure, pedicures, facials, and cook for me when I get hungry. Having ten clones for a day would be overall good for me.

Extra Credit: A Stupid Text

I didn't mean to do it.
It was just a stupid text.
There weren't many cars
on the road.
It came out of nowhere.
How was I,
How could I,
I didn't know there was,
a little boy,
eight years old,
name was Thomas.
I'm sorry.
It was just a stupid text.
It read "lol".
That "lol" cost his life.
It cost his mothers' life.
It cost my sanity.
How can I live with,
I can't live with the guilt.
All of this over,
a stupid text.
I heard that the husband
goes to counseling now.
I broke a family.
That kid,that mother
didn't anything to,
deserve that.
All because of a stupid text.
All because I didn't think.
All because I am a killer.
All because I was selfish,
I am a killer now.

If I could have a personal assistant for a week I would choose William Shakespeare. I choose him because he is good at writing and English is my lowest grade at school. As an assistant I would want Shakespeare to do all of my English school work because we are learning different poems this quarter and that is what he is good at. Also, I would want him to do any of my English projects that I have been assigned. I feel that as him being a talented writer of poems that he would be a good at reading and inrepreting poems so, he could help me if I had any assignments assigned to me in that class. Plus, I would want to ask him questions about his work and reasons why he wrote certain things. I feel as if this would be a good opportunity to understand more about him and his work. Finally, I would want him to help me understand other poems that I have read and the meaning behind some of them. That's why William Shakespeare would be the person I would choose to be my personal assistant for the week.

 Some apps I think that should come standard on a magical smart phone is a cooking app, a homework app,a money giver app, and a transporter app. On my phone I will have an app that will magically cook me food of my choice when I need it. This will help me when I don't like my lunch food or when my mother doesn't cook for me. Also,I what I want to have on my magical smart phone is a homework helping app. Sometimes I get really frustrated and upset when I am trying to do my homework and I need someone there who can help with do my work so, I think this app would be really beneficial to me.Plus, it could help me when I am tight on time and need to get help with my homework fast. Next, I would have an app that can give me money whenever I need it. This would be really great for me when I need new items like clothes or want something to eat while I am out and don't have any money on me.Finally,there would be an app when I need a ride I just go on my app and click a button and magically a ride will appear at the place I am located at and take me home.Those apps would be on my magical smart phone if one existed.
