Student of Month Story

On Friday afternoon, Mackenzie Martel was announced student of the month for September by the Bowie principal, Mr. Kane, at the courtyard.

            Mackenzie maintains a 4.0 GPA.

“I make straight A’s,” said Martel. “At the beginning of high school, I was caught off guard because it was so intense, but I soon learned the effort I needed to put in to make good grades.” 

Mackenzie wants to attend Rice University.

“My motivation to make good grades is I hope to attend a good school on a full scholarship,” said Martel.

In addition to her schoolwork, she also swims on the Bowie Varsity swim team.

“I’ve been swimming since I was 5, I love it, and it’s a great stress reliever,” said Mackenzie.

Martel received this award as a freshman, and now as a sophomore. She has received this award for the second time now.

“I haven’t received any negative comments from receiving this for the second time,” said Mackenzie. “I don’t have many friends, because I focus on my school work.” 

Mackenzie takes 4 AP classes, Calculus, English, Biology, and US History.

“My classes are hard, but I still work very hard in them because I know the grades will pay off,” said Martel. “Things at home are tough so I need to make good grades in order to receive a full scholarship.”

Mackenzie is part of numerous extra curricular activities at school.

“I am part of Chess club, Yearbook, and Science Olympiad,” said Martel. “I love participating in different clubs and meeting different people.”

Mackenzie hopes for others to receive this amazing award.

“Tips I have for other students are to study and work hard.”

                               

The Big day

There is a man in a car racing to get to a place. he keeps running into things that slow him down. there is a women at a church in a wedding dress with other women around her in dresses. she looks down at her ring then out the window in a gaze. the man finally reaches his destination and runs into the church, as the women is standing at the alter with her future husband.


John is racing to Jenna as she prepares for her wedding day at the Chapel on Friday because he wants to stop her wedding by barging in on the ceremony.

"Cmon, Cmon, move"... John said to himself lightly as he drove furiously through the winding rode in the middle of nowhere. "You look beautiful Jenna" said her friends as they finished touching her up and getting her dress ready. " Thank you" said Jenna as she smiled and looked afar. John starts to sweat as he races to Jenna through the misty woods. Jenna looks down at her ring ten out at the window searching for something.

Baltimore Photo

If i were a photographer in Baltimore, i would be very scared and fear for my life. But as a photographer i would think of it as an amazing opportunity to capture history in a photo. This event is very tragic but its a part of history in the US and we need to capture it.

Nut Graf

A Nut Graf is the point in a story where you "Nutshell" it up. Its the point where you tell people why it is important in the first place to be reading about it. For example you can talk about the party all you want but the nut paragraph will tell you why it was important and why you went in the first place. It is what gives your story fuel and rive for the reader to keep reading.

The paragraph is the "So what" section. It allows the readers to just get to the point of the story and stop worrying bout the details also they can have a underlining tone in the writing. It what the readers want to hear. Readers dont want that many details because they dont have a lot of patience. They just want the point of the story which is what the Nut Graf is.
