Ghost story

Every summer my family goes camping. One year I thought I saw somone sitting on a bench in the empty camp site next to us. Then as I was leaving the tent I thought I saw the person again staring into our camp site. When I asked my cousins about the person they thought I was crazy. As I was going to brush my teeth I felt as though the person was watching me, while I was walking. When I was at the bathroom I was so freaked out that I went to look outside while brushing my teeth. The next morning I walked by the same camp site that I thought I saw the person in and to my surprise, it was the stump of a tree with a shirt and a hat. That night I learned that in the dark my eyes can play tricks on me.

fantasy story

If I had a time machine I could do many things, like changing the present and having adventures in the past. My time machine would be a sight to be seen, with large lights that flickered on and of as I was sent through time. Slowly the machine would start up spinning rapidly like a carnival ride. Making sounds that pounded your ear drums until you blacked out into another time. The outside would change according to the time that I was at. If it was the future it would be a futuristic car, if I were in the medieval times I would have a suit of armour and the time machine would look like a horse. Going back in time would have many flaws. You could change the lives of others and your self to make it better or worse. With this time machine I could be the richest man in the world by investing in stocks that I know are going to go up. I could go to the future and bring back cures that will save people's lives in the present. If only I had a time machine.

Essential Question #5

For this entry I wanted to review on what I want to become and why I want to have those jobs. The first one would be an engineer because I am creative and I am good at math and science. This would be a good job for me because it looks interesting and I can use my creativity in my work. Another job that I could have would to become a teacher. As a teacher I could give back to the community and use my people skills to help students learn. If I were to become a teacher I would probably teach a math or science and try to make the class as fun and interesting as possible while educating the class. While doing one of these jobs on the side I would probably become a football or track coach. I still don't know what I want to do when I'm older but I do know that I want to help people.
