Ability

If I had to choose between the ability of flight or the ability to turn invisible , I would choose to fly. Being able to fly would make life ten times better than it is now. The first thing I would do is travel the world. I could go ANYWHERE without having to worry about air fair or gas money. It would make traveling less stressful. I would also be able to go places no one ever has before. For example, I could just decide to fly to Egypt for lunch one day and eat on top of a great pyramid, or the Spinx. How many people could say they have done that? 

My power would not just go towards my own personal wants though. If I did have this ability to fly I would want to help people. I could become a real life superhero. Who would not want that? If anyone was ever in distress I could swoop in like Superman and save the day. Of course, my costume would be a little better than his, but the point is still the same. I could change the world really. I could set an example for people everywhere.  It would be wonderful. 



Plus, it would be kind of sweet if Stan Lee recognized me and wrote me into a comic book . Just saying.   

Advice

Since I just took the OGT's last week , I have a few words of advice for next years sophomores . Firstly , I would tell them to not stress the test at all. Most of the questions on the OGT's are common sense . This does not mean they should just blow the test off though . They should still study and appreciate what the teachers are doing for them to help them succeed . Secondly , I would tell them to learn how to pace themselves . Although most of the tests are doable in two and a half hours , there are still some which may cut that time limit close . It would be a good thing to look out for . Lastly , I would tell the up coming sophomores to thank all the teachers after the test for spending their class time making sure everyone has the knowledge they need to complete the OGTs .

Desperate Measures

¡WARNING ! What you are about to read is completely fictional. 😂😂

IThe day was July 4th, 2013 , I will never forget that date. A day usually known for celebrating the United States' freedom turned into a battle that American almost lost. I was put in a situation no human has ever been in before . The whole county depended on me. 

This all began when I arrived at my cousin's house. She had wanted me to come over and stay with her for the night . I had no plans so I agreed. 

Everything was fine until it started to get dark outside . We were outside on her porch watching the fireworks her neighbors were letting off when we heard this odd sound coming from the woods. At first , I did not really think anything of it . I thought it might have been a did firecracker that happened to make it's way into the trees. my cousin thought otherwise . She wanted desperately to go track down the sound , but I was not having it at first . But , she kept nagging me about it for a while , so I said I'd go with her .

When we got closer to the woods the sound got louder and more obnoxious . This was deffinately not a firework. 

We started making our way up a path back to where we thought the sound was originating from.  As we reached a point where we were in the back of the woods, and the sound was at it's loudest , it completely stopped . It was dead silent and the tops of the trees were so close together there was barely any light able to reach down to us . 

Just as I was about to tell her we should head back , a bright light flashed on in front of us . When I tried squinting my eyes to get a clearer view I noticed that some figure was walking towards us . It was not a normal human figure . It was much bulkier and misshapen. It also looked as though it was holding something . My first instinct was to run , but it seemed like my brain was failing to send the message to my legs . I could not move . My cousin seemed the same way . As the creature moved closer I could make out more details . It was green ... It was almost alien like . Aliens . Yes, that is what it was . An alien with a weapon that seemed to be pulled right out of a Star Wars movie . My cousin and I exchanged looks , and knew almost immediately what we were going to do . We couldn't let this thing , or things (he brought friends ) , to get to our family . They did not look like they had good intentions. So , we fumbled along the ground and found some pretty decent sized tree branches and stood our ground . We were going to risk our own lives for the sake of other people . DUNDUNDUHHHHHHH. 

....to never be contined .
