What I Believe

I believe music can transport you
Into the future.
Where robots could do your homework,
Or back to the past
Where you would be stuck at home doing nothing.

I believe if you’re in a car,
Looking out the window,
Listening to music,
While it’s raining,
You feel like you’re in a movie.

I believe sometimes you need to stop swimming
And just float for a while.

I believe life is like a rollercoaster,
It’s full of twists and turns
And you never know what’s coming next.

I believe there is nothing chocolate can’t fix.

I believe that you don’t need a glass slipper
To find a true prince charming.
I believe the first step to giving my all
Is giving my all in the place I love most,
The tennis court.

I believe walking on the beach during sunset
Can make you forget about anything unhappy.

I believe hanging out with a few best friends in a bathroom,
Can be just as fun as being at a party with many friends.

I believe you can’t go through life
By just staying at home,
So pack your bags
And get ready to embark on an adventure.

I believe in living in the moment,
Making each tick of the clock count,

In worrying about what’s happening now,
And not in a hundred years.
So live life to the fullest
And have no regrets.

The Kidnapping of the President of The United States of America

It all started on a sweltering afternoon in Cuba in a dark alley. A group of people were conspiring against the government. They had a bizarre plan to kidnap the president of the United States that would cause a state of anarchy in the country, which is exactly what they wanted. There was a dissension between the group and the president about running the country which was why they wanted to put their idea into action.

There was lots of planning to do if they wanted their plan to work. And they couldn’t just be lackadaisical about it; they had to be very meticulous about how they would plan it. Somehow, they would have to get to and assimilate into the United States without drawing any attention to themselves. Second, they had to find a remote island in which they could hold the president hostage. And third, they had to have all this ready in time for his next speech to the public, which was imminent. They would've waited longer to execute their plan, but it was imperative they do it at his speech becasue it was the only time he would be in public and have a bit less security around him.

When the day finally came for the kidnapping, everything had gone according to plan until they got to the island. It turned out the president had a tracking device on his suit and the secret service and S.W.A.T. team got to the island within seconds the group had. Lucky for the president, he hadn’t been harmed yet.

The police quickly apprehended each member of the group and put them in shackles. When they got back to The United States, the members were interrogated and soon after, arraigned. The group’s hopes of being lionized in Cuba were crushed. They were sentenced to many, many years in federal prison for kidnapping the president.

Several years elapsed and they were all still stuck in jail. Until a calamitous earthquake occurred and the prison had been badly damaged. During this event, all the prisoners had escaped! No one knows where they are, but ever since, the president has had more security, but would it be enough to stop all the prisoners? Who knows… maybe the group will be lionized in Cuba someday….

Liar...

It all started the first day of school when a new student named Kara came. Apparently, her dad owns a HUGE recording company that all the cool singers go to. So of course, she was almost immediately assimilated in school and lionized by other students. She seemed like a nice person, but I was very meticulous when I talked with her. I didn’t want to say anything stupid in front of her, so that she could go tell everyone about it. Even though everyone thought she was cool I had a dissension about her. I didn’t think that just because her dad had a really cool job that she should be treated like a celebrity!
After a few weeks had gone by, someone discovered that her dad really didn’t own a recording company and she had been lying all along! After that, she wasn’t left with that many friends, and people kept calling her a liar and other mean names. I felt kind of bad for her, but still thought she got what she deserved.
