THREE TRUTHS AND A LIE

Author's Note: I wrote this paragraph about how my middle name is combined between my mom's name and my dad's name. I worked on trying not to write run on sentences because I have been.  

My middle name is combined between my mom’s name and my dad’s name. Well before I was born my parents didn’t want to know if I was a boy or a girl so they had to decide on a boy’s name and a girl’s name. Well the boys name was the easiest they took my dad’s dads name Curtis and my mom’s dad’s name Paul and said if I was a boy my name would be Curtis Paul. Well they had some weird girl names picked out to but settled on Morgan but couldn’t think of a middle name that would work, and apparently one day my dad was on his way to work and thought about the middle name Carol. He was thinking about it and used the first three letters of my mom’s name Kar for Karen and the last three of his ale for Dale. So my name was Morgan Karale and it’s combined between my mom’s name and my dad’s name. Well no one in my family can spell my middle name because it’s not the generic way to spell it. But the nice part is, is that I’m not the only person in my family with a weird middle name. My older cousin Taylor has a weird middle name too. Her middle name is Frances after my uncles grandma, and we all call her Frank because of it. So weird middle names are common in my family apparently and you know what we really don’t care because we like our names it’s not like we had any say in it.   

BOWLING

Author's Note: I wrote this creative piece about bowling in Writing Circles. I wrote about how bowling is a harder sport then anything else I have ever seen. But it looks easy because bowlers make it look that way.
 

Bowling is not an easy sport. Everyone says that bowling is so easy and that the hardest sports are football and basketball. Well some people also say bowling isn’t a sport same with dancing and cheer-leading. But their actually wrong those are all sports every one of them, but I also have to say that bowling may be harder than dancing and cheer-leading and football. This is for one reason only and it’s because you can practice all of these sports in your backyard bowling you can’t do that and it’s definitely not a free sport not like any sport really is. In bowling you are trying to get a 14-16 pound ball 60 feet from the foul line to the head pin which doesn’t seem that long because bowlers make it look easy and it’s not. Also dancers may have to hold uncomfortable positions for long periods of time and have their feet hurt but at least at school your sitting down most of the time so your not always on your feet. Bowling your fingers swell up and your feet hurt and your back and shoulders hurt and your knees hurt it’s pretty much totally pain all the time. Also dancers and cheerleaders may have 3-4 hour practices. I have to go in everyday right after school and bowl 3 games and then stay for even more practice so from most of the time 3 o’clock in the afternoon till about 9 o’clock at night everyday give or take. Also sometimes I get called in at like two in the morning because my coach forgot to run something with me and this is before school dancers and cheerleaders don’t have to do that. It’s pain that is all worth it though because ever since I told my dad I wanted to be the best at about 4 years old he got me a coach. Well I learned over the years I am only as good as the people I can beat and strive to be better than the people I can’t beat and then when I run out of people to beat I am the best. Well to achieve this goal it comes with the pain and the swelling and the torn shoulders I mean I take the pain because I want to be the best not because I just like to bowl I want to be the best and I’m determined to get there.

WATER

Author's Note: I wrote this piece about water in Writing Circles. In this piece I worked on explaining how water makes me feel and not just a random story about water.

Water makes me feel… like I can just have fun and that life isn’t all stuck in a subdivision, in a town, where you can almost reach out your window and touch the house next to you. You can’t control water just like you can’t control life; water goes where ever it wants to and same with people. Water is what people think of when they just want to get away and think. I always look at water when I just feel like thinking or play in water to make everything else disappear it makes me think of being free and not being stuck in my house and trapped. Water is what makes me feel good. Water is just what it is it’s water you make of it what you make of it and different people think of water in different ways, but water is just as simple as that, water is water.

COYOTE

Author's Note: I wrote this creative piece on coyotes for are writing circles. It is about a fake story of us seeing a coyote up north and in this piece I worked on trying not to make run on sentences.

One day we were walking down the street and saw a shaggy dog run across the road into the ditch at Grandma’s house. We were looking at the water and on our way back there was this, what looked like a stray dog, and then when we saw it and actually could see it we realized it was a coyote. It jumped out of the ditch and ran away down the road. It was really scary seeing a wolf sort of thing, shaggy dog whatever it was it didn’t look normal. The coyote didn’t even bother us almost like it didn’t notice us but it makes me think and kind of laugh, to think about what would have happened if it would of attacked us I could have seen my mom rolling into the ditch on the other side of the road screaming and sobbing and me not knowing what to do which kind of made me chuckle a little bit to myself. But it didn’t attack us and just walked away like we were nothing. Later that evening we heard him hollering at the moon and realized that it was the coyote we had seen earlier that day.
