The Great Sabotage Short Story

“ I was going to ask you to the dance, if you didn’t get enough courage to ask me!” she said with a smirk.

He saw another person but this time this person started doing the floss so he started doing the best mates dance and he made a friend so they

The night was coming to an end; parents were slowly showing up to collect their kids. The DJ announced it was the last song of the night. It was our theme song. Jaimie and I swayed together on the dance floor belting out the words we knew by heart when we heard what sounded like

As solely a student, I will tell you that Lauren is an amazing student. In a classroom environment, Lauren is knowledgeable about many subjects, participates often, and always seeks to learn more. Specifically in social studies, Lauren has an extensive knowledge of international, historical, dates; events; and people. With every book that we read in English, Lauren is able to find metaphors that I never would have noticed.

“You know why I am making you do that in the dance right?” she questioned me.

The auditions were in January of 2012. I did not know of the results of my performance, and neither did Mr. Carter. I began to put it off until for the rest of the day. I really did not know what to think. I believed that it was a successful audition, but my doubts had come into play, and the thought of it all started to just make me nervous. I mean, how could a child, who knew little about music, possibly accomplish such a

“Once the music began, I was fortunate enough to hit every beat. It was amazing. My cheer coach was extremely proud of my whole squad. I was proud of myself as well.” As Claire stated this, her eyes seemed to light up with joy.

Not only is she an excellent academic student, but she also brought life to the band at Ashley High School. Whoever would sit next to her would be very lucky, not just because she is an amazing saxophonist but she also has a quick wit

“She looks comfortable out there, she doesn't look like a freshman. She compliments us well, and gives us a few minutes here and there, which makes us a deeper and better team.” Varsity coach Hannah Alexander said. “She kind of a little spark for the team. She just goes out there and hustles. And she’s just very coachable, she fixes things that we need her to fix.”

"I don't know what happened back there today," No eye contact. "It was, uh, something." He couldn't place the words. 'Something' was right. "I don't know how I feel about it. It was good I guess." Good I guess? GOOD I GUESS?! The color of my face drained to a blank white, my nails deeply scratched my fisted palms.

"I finished and I had a lonely last four laps but she ran four and a half laps barely being able to run. I'm so impressed and inspired that she did that. I've never met her before. Like, I've never met this girl before. And isn't that just so amazing? That's an amazing moment. Regardless of the race and the result on the board, that's a moment that you're never, ever going to forget."

Nestled in a huge dip of land, in Boone, Iowa, is a tiny girl’s camp with cabins tucked into the trees called Bear Creek. Owned by the LDS church, this little piece of wilderness becomes my home away from home, five days during the summer. This collection of stories comes from the summer of 2015, and is a collage of my fondest memories from that week.

“Don’t worry, we’re both gonna do great!” I explained, even though I was nervous too. That was the day we were finally trying out for competitive dance at our dance studio, Bleker’s. Bleker’s used to do competitive dance years ago, and finally, after I had been dancing there for 9 years, they started to do comp again!

She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards. Sincerely, Georgia Beckmann Head of College Counselling Prospect Hill Academy Charter School Collegiate

Eighth grade, Mr. Tann’s advanced class, the back of the room, the lights are off, the sunlight gleaming in through the windows. I will never forget this day. The day Jenna became my topedoer. So to back up we were reading an article and the smart board was on so the lights were off. We were reading about World War II and how they were torpedoing ships when Jenna messed up her words and pronounced torpedoing as tor-pa-do. We laughed about this for ever and soon the class got back to work. I however never let this go. Jenna is now known as Torpedoing Louise and I, Torpedoing Nicole (our middle names). We even have Torpedo Hill which is a big mound of dirt across from our church we go to. We go on many torpedo adventures. Those range from walking
