Trust Me!

People do not always trust me and believe the things I tell them. Once I was with my friends and we were by our old school. There was a broken window in the backside of the school and they had the "bright idea" to say let's all go inside our old school to see what it is like! I told then that it was a terrible idea and that they would get into trouble. I said, "Trust me! You guys are going to get caught, and be in big trouble. Someone will call the cops, or an alarm will go off in the school! And you will be in trouble for trespassing." But they did not listen to me! I told them that I would be waiting outside of the school on my bike while they "explore" the school. My friends entered the school through the broken window and even turned on lights! I started riding my bike and realized my phone was ringing, it was them! They were calling to "brag" about how cool it was and that there were big soft mats in the gym that they were jumping on. I was on my bike actually outside by the gym when a police car pulled around the corner of the building and had a very bright light on me. I told my friend, "Police are here!" And the police man told me to hang my phone up and put it away. My friends came out of the door and were caught! The officer had told them that a silent alarm hag went off in the school, but they were already on their way to the school on account of a phone call from a concerned neighbor. I exclaimed, "Didn't I tell you!" There were more police men on the other side of the school, and when we went around my friends had to give their personal information but they were in no trouble because they were not stealing anything or vandalizing the school. After the incident while riding our bikes home my friends told me that they should have listened to me and that I had been right. I felt good about making the right decision in not following them into the school. All of my friends said that they were never going to do wrong again.

Paragraph 1 of Letter

10th grade students in high school have a lot of times to do. I believe that it may be the hardest year of my high school career. High school can be a wonderful time of friendship and enjoyment, or it can be a hard struggle that must be conquered. As a 10th grader myself, I know that there are many I obstacles, achievements, and goals that we will have and I want to thrive.

Least Prepared OGT Test

The OGT test that I am least prepared for is the Reading OGT test. I am a person that likes to read slowly and thoroughly when reading a passage, and this tends to give me  less time to be able to answer the multiple choice questions along with the extended response questions.To be better prepared for this test I will use the OGT practice book that my teacher has provided in my English class to study and practice different test taking skills. I will also use the many websites given to me by Mr. Jaworski, my Biology teacher, that are on a sheet of paper. The paper has information on which sites can provide help with which subjects. A lot of the sites have printable practice tests that I can take. I feel that I will be well prepared for all of the OGT tests, because my excellent teachers have equip us students with the resources that are needed to pass the tests.
