Scott Squadere Room Sweet Room English 9 Fiozzo

When I was a little kid, I never had a game console until I was 10. Even when I first got one it wasn’t in my room. I never had a TV in my room until this year. So there really has been nothing for me to do in my room except sleep. So when I think of my room I think of the living room. There is a big fish tank in my room and if I can’t sleep I’ll just watch them swimming around. My room is pretty calm.

“I have no interest in murder, and I have no interest in people dying … But I’m interested in people’s minds, and sometimes Manson puts thoughts together that I find really interesting.

Scott Squadere Flashback (from Nam) English 9 Fiozzo

The flashback I’m going to use is when I first met my friend Aaron. I first met him when me and my friend Matt were on the bus. I’d never seen Aaron before so I’d figured he was a new student. This was when I was in 1st grade and Aaron was in 2nd. He sat next to us and started playing with some Pokémon and asked us if we would like to play, of course we said yes it was Pokémon. I didn’t know any of them since they were some of the newer ones so I chose a bad one and lost. Aaron barely beat Matt. Later that week I saw Aaron riding his bike and invited him to play catch. Then he told me where he lived and I robbed him. Just joking we’ve been best friends ever since.

Scott Squadere A day in the Life English 9 Fiozzo

He woke up, and that’s when it all started. He cleverly decides to take a shower but then got dressed and ate his great breakfast. He intuitively watched the news so he knew whether to wear a sweatshirt or a jacket. Then, with no looking back, he left into the unknown. Seemingly forever but then came back home at around 5:00 PM. Trying to do all of his homework while having a good time, he watches TV and does it all. After that, Scott decided that he should play Battlefield Bad Company 2 to make other people feel bad about themselves once they see how talented I happen to be at that particular game.

Scott Squadere One Medium Suitcase English 9 Fiozzo

If I had one medium suitcase that I need to pack for a new beginning, I would pack nothing. Just carry the suitcase and be wearing a suit. We’ll see where that gets me. Maybe I’d have my iPod or a picture in the suitcase, that’s all the inspiration I’d need.

Scott Squadere The Perfect Present English 9 Fiozzo

The perfect present in the world for me would probably be patience. My mom is not a patient person and has rubbed off on me a bit. I don’t like to wait. I can, but I don’t like to. Especially when someone is very slow at doing a task I could easily do faster. If I received this as a present if wouldn’t change my life per say, but it would be something I don’t need to work on. This would be the perfect present because I don’t know anything else I really want or need.

Scott Squadere How to… English 9 Fiozzo

How-To write the How-To part of your project. First you will need some inspiration, which I lack in entirety. So you will ask all of your friends what they would do, and then you would search the internet because any How-To on the internet is probably real and probably not illegal. Once you get an “idea” open up Microsoft Word. You will need to expunge your “ideas” into words. At the end make sure that your printer does not worship Satan and eat all of your paper(s).

Scott Squadere Advice to the Young English 9 Fiozzo

My advice to the young, I will start by giving instructions for in the womb. I advise you to fend off against other babies in there if there happen to be any. To ensure that there will be none in the future since nobody wants a younger sibling you should ravage the place on your way out. During the first few years of school and life do whatever you want since you won’t be able to get away with it in the future, soil yourself as much as possible and be a terrible child to make sure that your parents really love you. If you have any sister(s), do not play with their Barbies as this could lead to further complications in your life. Lie very often so that nobody can tell if you’re joking or lying or telling the truth. When you see a van that asks you if you like candy ALWAYS ask what kind, nobody wants M&M’s. My last advice is go to never-never land so you won’t have to grow up and so you can follow these rules forever.

Scott Squadere Dream Car English 9 Fiozzo

It depends on what you mean by dream car, a reachable dream car or an actual dream car? If it was one I could reach I would pick a Toyota Supra or a Honda Civic, if not then I would pick a Lamborghini Gallardo, or Mercielago. It would need a good stereo system and would need to be red blue or black in color. The interior would have to be gray or black. I would drive it in non-populated areas so I could race other people. Responsibilities that would come with it were paying for the actually car , insurance, and fuel costs.

Scott Squadere Extraordinary Pet English 9 Fiozzo

My friend Aaron has 3 monkeys, 2 of them are black capuchins, and one is a java macak. They are all very different and have different personalities. Sometimes they are moody except Austin who is my favorite. Austin is a crybaby and hides in shelves when he’s scared. He holds your hand and makes them clap while he laughs and smiles, if you smile at him he will go into the feeble position sometimes and howl. Coby likes to swim in the pool if anyone is in it. He jumped off of a big tarp and jumped in once. Once Coby climbed all the way up a big tree and jumped off and almost died but Aaron caught him in his shirt. On several occasions he has called 911.

Scott Squadere Are You Hungry English 9 Fiozzo

Of course I’m hungry. My favorite meal of all time is my mom’s macaroni and cheese. She got the recipe and modified it to taste.

Someday I would like to be fed macaroni and cheese through a hypodermic needle. That’s all I can say because now I’m getting hungry.

Scott Squadere Coping with Current Events English 9 Fiozzo

To cope with current events I don’t read the newspaper, the news, or the web about the war. I think it would be a lot easier if America as a whole educated itself about it instead of some people thinking they know it all but know nothing. September 11, 2002? I hope that’s just a typo or you just proved my point. The government should’ve dealt with it much better than they had but the past is the past and hopefully this won’t happen again in the future and we get out of this pointless war and deal with some of the real problems this country has.

Scott Squadere Family Expectations English 9 Fiozzo

My Aunt Sue has really made me want to do well in school, she showed me some of the things that can happen if you truly apply yourself at a younger age and that it would be much harder to at an older age. She is a really nice Aunt, very understanding she always wanted to hear about how I’m doing in school, sports and in general. I really started to understand where she was coming from after she had done well in school herself, and started taking her advice about a year and a half ago and staring down academics. Without her pushing me I don’t really know if I would have gotten to the point where I am really doing well in school.

Scott Squadere Epilogue English 9 Fiozzo

Hopefully from reading this you understand that I am a hard working diligent student but I really love fooling around and having fun. I enjoy many things outside of school and are probably a totally different person.
