OGT Advice to the Next Class

I have just taken the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT). I would like to give advice to the next class that take the test. A bit of advice that I would give, to the next class taking to test, is to listen to their teachers. The teachers have helped me for the OGTs months ahead and it helped me become prepared for the exams. I had listened and payed attention in class, and this helped me succeed. The materials and practice tests that the teachers give are very similar to questions that are on the test, so the next class should be attentive when being tought something by the teachers. The teachers want you to be successful and they want you to pass with the highest possible points. My teachers have given us portions that are off of previous OGT tests to show us what is on the test.

Dirty Situation

Being the last ones left we stared each other down. Face to face, barrel to barrel, me against him. I run out as fast as I can in mud covered boots, he sees me and tries to make his move! I hear them, coming for me trying to stop my right in my tracks. I made it, but was I tainted? Could I not have felt it? I check myself but find no problems, I made it. As I look up I catch a glimps of him, does he know where I am? As I cannot be sure I must make something happen! I aim quick and fire as fast as possible! He hears and returns fire! Back and forth we have a firefight! Who will run out first? Who will get a direct hit? I see them coming from a spot behind a piece of sheet metal. I aim for that spot and the paintballs collide with each other! I had never seen that before, but I could not admire this sight for long. So I run. Seeing the paintballs fall just short in front me I stop. Quickly aiming I shoot! I hit him! Right? I think so. I can't be sure so I hide the whistle blows and the game is over! I won! But I find out that I didn't. We just ran out of time. There was no hit, no win, just a tie, a draw. Afterwards me and my friend unite and talk about the adrenaline rush! We didn't care about the win or lack of a win. We had fun! And that was what really mattered! I had fun with my friend and was ready to go home.
