One day while walking home from school I saw a big bag full of cans. I thought maybe I could take them home and recycle them. So I started walking home again and a big strange man walks up and says ” those are my cans”. I got a little bit scared and dropped the cans and ran all the way home without stopping. I reached my house and my dad was there mowing the lawn. “Son why are you running from school? Where there bullies following you home?”. “No,” I said and ran inside. I come inside and take a box of pop tarts and eat all of them. “I hate being so weak, I need to start doing boxing”. After asking his parents if he could box, they said yes yes yes. They would love for him to be a little tougher.

 
The following week was his first boxing practice. And after that practice he was ready for his first practice fight. He had only had two practices and now was his chance to prove to everyone that he could win and that he wasn’t a weakling. the match started and it was fierce. They threw punch after punch but nobody wanted to give up. Then I hit him with a quick two piece to the stomach and he’s down on the ground crying. I was the winner.

 
Next week after a couple more practices I was very ready for my next fighter. He came out of the dressing room and my jaw dropped to the floor. This kid looked like a grown man. There was no way that I could beat him. I chickened out of the fight and went home and ate more pop tarts.

Once there was a boy named John. He lived in Akron, Ohio with only his mother. His father lived in Alaska where John used to live. He hated living in the cold weather and so did his mother so they decided to move to Ohio.

On John’s first day of school he went to principle’s office to find out which class he would have first. He started with science. After he had finished all but one of his classes, now his last class of the day would be gym. John loved gym at his old school. He played for the basketball team there. He had been thinking about joining at his new school considering he was the best player on the team at his old school.

On his way to gym he saw a group of boys messing around with a basketball and decided to ask them if they knew when basketball tryouts were. They laughed at him and said he was to small to play basketball and that they would dunk on him if he showed up. That wasn’t gonna stop John. He was determined even more to make the team now.

The following week was the first tryouts for the basketball team. John showed up about 15 before everyone else so he could work on his shot. It payed off because when they started the first warm up game, John hit five three’s in a row. Everyone around now knew that John was a good player.

The next day at school the boys came over to John and told him that they were going to dunk on him today at tryouts. He wasn’t scared and went to tryouts anyways. After about an hour of practice it was time for the final tryout game. It was going to be the players from the basketball team last year vs the best players who tried out this year. It was a great game and came down the the final point. It was 11 to 11 game was to 12. John had only made 3 points this game and really wanted the ball.

Johns team comes down the floor, ball is passed to John and he runs towards the basket, throws the ball off the backboard and BANG!!! He slams it threw winning the game for the new comers. The End
