Have You Ever... (by Savannah)

Have you ever seen a dog as big as a baby elephant? I have. Have you ever ridden on a giraffe in an 80-foot, halfway filled swimming pool? I haven't. Have you ever been so scared you peed your pants? I haven't. Have you ever had a friend that cared so much about you? I have. Still do. Have you ever seen a clown get hit by a truck with no broken bones? I haven't. Have you ever had a dog that saved your life? I have. Have you ever read a book that was 100,000 pages long? I haven't. Have you ever made a boy wear a dress? I have. Have you ever seen God? I haven't. Have you ever had a dog? I have. Still do. Have you ever ridden a miniature horse? I have. Have you ever had a fish? I have. Have you ever broken a promise? I have. Have you ever read the Bible in 1 second? I haven't. Have you ever had a Club Penguin account? I have. Still do. Have you ever had someone tempt you into doing something? I have.

Stomachache by Corey Bontrager

So painful
Too much pain
Unfun
Most pain I've felt
And it doesn't feel good
Can't stop feeling pain
Hurts

And the pain feels bad
I have a stomachache
Kind of severe

Honesty by Savannah Brown

Honesty is the way to go
On track of NOT lying
No lying
Excellent at telling the truth
Saying the truth
Tell the truth
You are trustworthy

This was my first time taking the ISTEP test. I was nervous. I was shaking. I was scared that I wouldn't get it right. But I did it. Then I wasn't scared anymore. I took the challenge. I try my best and I made it, and I know I felt happy to do it. I did the challenge and I felt a lot better. That's my story. The end.
