He impacted my life by being a friend who could help me with my problems. I remember when Tony D.

our freak show, the 1000kg woman and the mutant, two headed man, named Salvador! We have men with deformed faces and women with beards!

I constantly read about the freak accidents in football that either left an athlete with a lifelong injury or sometimes even death. This book stood out to me because it is about a player who went against the odds and was able to somewhat recover from what seemed

much a test can influence your grade. This became very frustrating because the day before a test, I will freak out and think that I have forgotten everything about the upcoming exam. I will choke and feel paralyzed, such as not being to think anything. I absolutely had to find a solution to this problem due to the stakes on the line.
