Train (AA1 AA2)

There was a college student who was on a train. He was on his way to his new college. He transferred out of his original school which was the university at Buffalo. He was on his way to Georgia to go for technology. He was originally going to go to be a doctor, but he realized that he liked to work with computers so much more than being a doctor. He called up Georgia tech and transferred from UB. This was the best thing he has ever done. On the way to his new campus he spent the time on his laptop. Then he noticed a little crumpled up piece of paper in the corner of his room he was sitting in. The piece of paper sparked his interest, so he walked over and picked it up. He had the crumpled up piece of paper in his hand and he wasn't sure if he wanted to read it or not. He felt like he was invading someone's personal space, but then he actually decided he wanted to read it. He slowly started to undo the paper, and he started to get really excited because he wasn't sure what he was going to find on the inside. Then he read it. He was really surprised by what he found. It was a note that said "You're supposed to get captured on this train and taken hostage, but I'm going to help make sure this doesn't happen. You need to go out of the door and take a right and walk all the way to the last cabin. Once you get there you will see a red door bell. Ring it three times and you'll be safe. Don't stop to talk to anyone or anything. See you soon." The college student was oddly amused by this. He was more interested than nervous. He thought about what he should do, but then he made his final decision to go and ring the doorbell. He didn't want to get captured, so he started out the door. He made his way down the hall and he saw this extremely beautiful girl. The girl looked at him and mouthed the words to him. "The note." He immediately realized this was the person who wrote the note, so he continued down the hall when he noticed a guy up ahead directly in the middle of the second last cabin. This is when he actually started to get nervous because he felt like he was in a lot of trouble. The man was staring right at him, so he was getting really nervous. That's when the good looking girl came up behind him and turned him around and pushed him into the closet room. She told him that she would take care of the man. The man started walking up to the room and he walked into the room. He tried to grab the guy, but the girl jumped off the couch and pushed him into the other room. She then looked at the guy and said "go." He ran and rang the bell twice. Then he found that the room the bell was outside of started to detach from the train, so he dove into it, and was saved from the attackers on the train. The man was super confused when all this happened. Once the room stopped moving the door opened and the women came in and started talking to him. He asked where he was, but the girl was very silent. All he could hear was “Sir. Sir. Sir. Wake up.” The man opened his eyes and looked around. It was all a dream and he looked out the window and he was in Georgia.

Z1-2 The Boxer

"Pain can be the only thing to let you know you're still alive..." This is why I began my career as a boxer. My English teacher once told me that quote. She told the class this quote during my senior year of high school. Back then I had no idea what I wanted to do with my future, but when she said the quote it all clicked. I wanted to become a boxer. I started going to boxing classes and I excelled in the class. I was the fastest learning student there was. I think I went to the classes twice a week for about two months. It's slowly getting harder to remember from being hit in the head so often. After I learned everything they could teach me I signed up for my first fight. I know my story is sounding very impressive, but my first fight was far from impressive. I got knocked out in the first round of the fight. After my first fight which turned out to be a loss I felt very unmotivated and upset. I had no motivation to train or sign up for another fight. This feeling didn't last long because I wanted to win. I put so much time and effort into training. Giving up now would be pointless because of the amount of time I put into boxing. I never wanted to give up, so I brushed my shoulders off and started training again, but this time I trained so much harder than I trained before. I was putting 200 percent into everything that involved boxing. I had a slow start to my boxing career because I started training my senior year. Most boxers have been training their whole lives to be boxers, but not me. I had to wait so long to get my start. I started to regret it right away, but I realized there was nothing I could do about it, so I just kept on training. I rarely went out and hung out with my friends around this time. That’s about the only thing I regret now. If I could have found the perfect balance between the two I would have loved to. I lost all my friends while I went out and trained all the time. This was probably the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I’m sitting here on my back porch all alone because I lost all of my friends. The man who said “Money can’t buy happiness” was telling the truth. I have a whole lot of money, but no one to enjoy it with. Enough about my sad life let’s get back to my boxing career. Well after my first loss I decided to get things together and start winning. Starting off with a loss is not how I planned to take my boxing career, but I promised myself something that has stayed true throughout all the year I boxed. My first loss will be my only loss. The rest of my career was pretty good. I would sign up for a fight and win. I began to be the talk of the boxing world. I never had an opponent who could beat me. I even won a couple of championships. The best part about my wins was the prize money I would get. I’m not saying it was a lot at first, but it was enough to have fun with. Later in my career is when I started getting a lot of money. I could afford a brand new car with cash. Let’s just say that was a really nice feeling. I guess to sum up my career I could say it was perfect. I got only one loss which was my first fight and it was the motivation to become the best at boxing, so I went out and did it.
