When my mom and dad said do you want to play football?

When they asked me I said not really but after a little bit I said I will try it out. Then I was so happy because it was one more day intill my first practice. It was the first day I couldn’t wait. We got at the field and we went to the dummies we were working on blocking. We did that for the first two weeks. The next week we were trying out for positions I got the postion I wanted I got quarterback and a defece ofenc. We had practice for six weeks. It was our first game I was on offense we started at the 30 yard line I think we got to the 10 yard line we did this play called I left quarterback sweep we got the touchdown then we went for two points we got it.

I went to the graveyard on Halloween night. There was a curse on Halloween night. I went there anyway. I was dressed as a mummy. When I got there, I heard a scary noise. I thought it was maybe a skeleton coming back from the dead. I heard a voice in the distance behind the tree, but I did not go over there because everyone was ready to trick or treat. After a while, I went over there. There was a shole bunch of voices coming out of the distance. They were skeletons I was scared. They all said, “do you want to play tag?” I said yes. But there was a problem. They were all white so some of us had to be on teams. Some of the skeletons had to go in the mud to play tag. We were having so much fun but then we got into a fight because somebody pushed me down. I yelled at him “you did it on purpose.” NO I did not,” said the skeleton. All of a sudden the skeletons turned against me. I was so frightened I was even shivering! I ran as fast as I could. I hid behind a headstone. As I sat there I heard the wind rustling through the trees. I thought it was the skeltons but it wasn’t. I waited a long time, until I thought they were gone. When I came from behind the headstone they were all standing there. They screamed boo!!! They started laughing because they were actually my baseball team. I was scared the whole time but it was really my friends.

Dear Mrs. Gibson

I am at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln Nebraska. It’s really cool when you are in the back because when you have binoculars you feel like you are on the field. Before every game all the players huddle up and one person jumps on it thats my favorite player does. The grass is really green I never saw anything like it. When they come out to stat the game they have a camera that shows them when they come out. We played Louisiana tech Nebraska won the game.
