PAGE 2
The best summer ever was the summer of In the beginning of the summer I took a trip to San Antonio and went to the Texas State Capitol and I also saw the Texas State Museum and I also visited the Alamo, I also went to Sea World. Then I played in the USSSA World Series in Grand Prairie Texas with the Texarkana SLAM. After that I had a trip of a life time when I went to Washington D.C. and to the B.S.A.’s National Jamboree. There I met Mike Tyson, Mike Rowe, and saw Lincoln Park. I also visited the White House, The Capitol Building, the Lincoln Memorial, the World War 2 Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Vietnam memorial, Arlington Cemetery, tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Aerospace museum, and the museum of natural museum. At the National Jamboree I met scouts from Japan, England, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Iran and many more. I learned a lot about their cultures and there way of life. I also flew for the first time and rode in a subway for the first time. It was a summer I will never forget.

4. The Year I was Bborn. PAGE 3
The year 1997 was an important year because that was the year my twin brother Connor and I were born but there were other important events in history that happened that year. For one thing, the first woman Secretary of State Madeline Albright was sworn into office on January 23, On February 23, 1997, a Scottish scientist confirms the successful cloning of an adult mammal, Dolly the lamb. There was also an Iranian earthquake that killed around 1500 people and injured around Also the first pictures of the surface of Mars were released on July 4, On the month and day of my birth but not the same year, Christopher Columbus was the first to discover the island of Trinidad on his 3rd voyage to the West in the year Finally,1997 was the year we moved into our new house that we live in today in Pleasant Grove.
This is Dolly the lamb, he is a cloned sheep.

5. A Memory
PAGE 4
There is one memory I have that I know very well. One day I was with my friend Kylar. It was late in the afternoon and we could not really decide what to do so we both just ended up agreeing to walk around out in the pasture behind my house. We both grabbed two fishing poles to go fish at the pond which was about a mile deep on the property. At that time we didn’t know that there were not any fish in the pond. When we got there we baited our lines and casted. We waited and waited but there wasn’t anything biting. As we were waiting we started to hear loud footsteps and a lot of them too. It sounded to us like a herd of buffalo running and it seemed to be getting louder. Since we were not catching anything or even getting bites we decided to walk around a peninsula of trees toward the sound to see what it was. It was a herd of about 30 cows running toward us. Our first instinct was to run because if we could get to the gate in time and climb over it. we would be safe so that’s what we did. We thought we could out run the cows but they slowly caught up to us. The calf’s were running the fastest. One caught up to me and hit me on my leg throwing me up in the air. I hit the ground with a loud thump. After getting up really fast and realizing the gate was only about 50 yards away and Kylar was already over the gate. I ran as fast as I could and it felt like I was superman with all the adrenaline. I dove through a tiny gap in the gate to make it out. I will never forget that day I spent with Kylar.

6. If I had a Million Dollars
PAGE 5
If I had a million dollars the first thing I would do would be to donate 50,000 dollars of it to a charity of my choice. The next thing I would do would be to buy the latest model of a black Chevy Silverado with a lift kit, and then I would install two 15 inch subwoofers to my new truck. After I do that , I would buy a deer lease and have a cabin built on the lease so I can hunt there. I would buy a brand new Ranger to ride on the deer lease. For my room I would put a 90 inch 3d flat screen television with a brand new Xbox 360 and a Blue ray player. I would then buy season tickets to the Texas Rangers games and season tickets to the Dallas Cowboy and the Arkansas Razorback games. I would buy sideline passes to the Razorback games because the Arkansas Razorbacks are my favorite team. Then I would go to Australia and go to the Great Barrier Reef, go scuba diving and spear fishing. With the left over money I would take my three brothers to the World Jamboree in Japan in I would also use some of that money to buy all the movie tickets for a movie theater and invite everyone I know to watch a movie. Then I would build and add-on to my house and make a movie room with a screen and projector and make myself a giant room to sleep in with my own huge bathroom. The shower would have its own iPod and the walls would be large shower heads that would shoot out water to the beat of the music and it would shoot soap and water. I would hire my own maid to clean up after me and do my chores and laundry. Then I would give the rest of the money to my parents to do whatever they want with it. I would be very happy if I had all of that and that is what I would do if I had a million dollars.

9. It would be much too dangerous to talk about…
PAGE 8
It would be much too dangerous to talk about the time, wait. Why am I about to say it? It’s just too dangerous to talk about it. I’m just going to say it. I have been hit by a car. It’s just that plain and simple. It’s not like it was my fault or anything. The wdriver as just out of control, or he didn’t know he was supposed to turn. I don’t know but whatever it was, it hurt and it hurt really bad. I was just walking home from a friend’s house, nothing more nothing less. It wasn’t too dark but not that bright either. I was walking along a very sharp curve and I was extra careful watching cars as they made their turn and I think that is the reason why I wasn’t in the hospital. As I was walking I was watching this small black car as it was turning or at least I thought it was turning and it drove off the road. At that moment everything slowed down, my heart starting to race as fast as it could, I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my body, and my life flashed before my eyes. With instinct I tried to jump up and land on the hood but when I tried that the side of the car hit my thigh sending me flying in a spinning motion. When I landed I was in intense pain my legs were throbbing and my arm was hurting. The man in the black car drove out the ditch and drove away as fast as he could, leaving me to lay there in a pile of leaves for about an hour and a half. By the time I could stand up again it was very dark. I walked around for 15 minutes to find my phone and after using the light to see my leg I saw a huge bruise but from my knowledge I knew it was not broken. I walked home and decided to just go to bed not even thinking about telling my parents. I didn’t think it was too big of a deal so I never told them, that’s why it’s much too dangerous to talk about this.

10. Football
PAGE 9
Football is tied with baseball for the greatest sport in the world. It is definitely the most exciting sport in the world. The atmosphere is the greatest and the loudest. College football has more heart and more want to than the NFL. IT IS THE BEST

11. BASEBALL
PAGE 10
Baseball is tied with football for the greatest sport of all time. Baseball is a great sport that takes a lot of skill when up to bat and a lot of mental talent when just playing it. Baseball is one of my favorite sports.

12. Transformers the movie.

Transformers is a great movie with special effects, great action scenes and a great story.

13. (CHORUS)
Yeah, I'm chillin' on a dirt road, Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones. Smoke rollin' out the window, An' ice cold beer sittin' in the console. Memory lane up in the headlights, It's got me reminiscing on them good times. I'm turning off of real life, drivin' that's right, I'm hittin' easy street on mud tires. Back in the day Pott's farm was the place to go. Load the truck up, hit the dirt road. Jump the barbwire, spread the word. Light the bonfire, then call the girls. The king in the can and the Marlboro man. Jack'n'Jim were a few good men. Where ya learned how to kiss and cuss and fight too. Better watch out for the boys in blue. And all this small town he said, she said, Ain't it funny how rumors spread. Like I know something ya'll don't know, Man that talk is gettin' old. Ya better mind your business, man, watch your mouth, Before I have to knock that loud mouth out. Im tired of talkin, man, ya'll ain't listenin', Them old dirt roads is what ya'll missin'.
I sit back and think about them good ole days. The way we were raised, and our southern ways, And we like cornbread, and biscuits, And if it's broke round here we fix it. I can take ya'll where ya need to go, Down to my hood, back in them woods. We do it different 'round here, that's right, But we sure do it good, and we do it all night. See, if you really wanna know how it feels, To get off the road with trucks and four wheels, Jump on in, and man, tell your friends, We'll raise some h*** where the blacktop ends.

14. A Poem About ME They run on to the field like an army to battle,
Their captain leading the way.
The roar of the crowd like shooting cannons.
The lights shining Friday night’s rays.
Brave are the players focused on victory.
They fight with hearts filled with aim
Prepared to execute their coach’s orders
Rehearsed and armed for the game.
No matter the outcome of their cause,
They fill each half with their sweat.
No shame in the fight or tears for their loss
Leaving it all on the field with no regret
I am such a warrior sent into battle
My brigade I am expected to lead.
Never to flinch or to fear one moment,
To lead my team to succeed!

15. Things that are important to me.
PAGE 14
There are many things that are important to me. The most important thing to me is my relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my Lord. Then it is my family, who I care deeply for. Next is my education because like Horace Mann once said “A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.” Another important thing to me is sports. With sports I can get an education to any college I want for free and that is what I am hoping to do through football or baseball. I love to play and watch both football and baseball, but it is important because it is a way I can get a scholarship to any university I want. I have not yet decided what I truly want to do. I will play both baseball and football in high school, but may have to choose after that. Once I choose which sport, I will devote all of my time and energy preparing and getting better at it. Maybe I can play both in college, that is what I am praying for. God has given me these talents and has blessed me with the intelligence to learn easily. That is probably why I am quarterback because you have to learn many plays and have to read the defense and make quick decisions. I am also very competitive so I think it fits my character very well as a leader. I try to lead by example.. These are the things that are important to me and are also what make me special.
