My Name English 9 7th hour Brett Huebsch Brett Brett could be a boy or a girl name, but boys get it more than girls. It is a Celtic, American, and English name. The Celtic name means ‘A breton.’ It is the same case with the American meaning (A breton). The English meaning has many different meanings. For example, A native of Brittany (France) or Britain (England). It is derived from the surname Breton or Briton, Brett became popular after the famous writer Bret Harte in the late 19th century. It became very popular in Australia during the mid-20th century. People with the name Brett have a deep inner desire for travel like Indiana Jones. Brett’s are known to be extremely attractive American males who are good at everything. I don’t really know why my parents decided to name me Brett, but I do know that my Mom had many choices for what I would be. If I were to be a girl, I would’ve been Gretchen or Emily, and the choices for being a boy were Nathan or Brett. But when i came out, she immediately said “his name is Brett.” I really like my name, unlike Esperanza. I have gone through some times of me thinking, I really don’t like this name. But in the end, I really love it. I believe it fits me perfectly. With many people, I find it very funny when their first name doesn’t really fit their last name, but I think that my first name fits my entire name and my personality very well. My nickname is Boo or Baby Boo, I don’t really remember how i got it but I absolutely LOVE IT! Poetic Devices Used (they’re underlined) Simile: “desire for travel like Indiana Jones.” Metaphor: “Brett’s are known to be extremely attractive American males who are good at everything.”

Favorite Toy as a Child My favorite toy as a child was either my Buzz Lightyear action figure or all of my trucks. I honestly don’t remember very much from my childhood, that’s mainly because i’ve hit my head and split it open too many times to be able to remember anything. I do remember that I would take Buzz with me everywhere I went. I loved Buzz. He was such an amazing toy. Buzz is still in my house, somewhere, but I haven’t looked for him in a long time. I loved Buzz. Vroom! He could fly, with his beautiful wings that would bleep and buzz through the air. I loved Buzz so much. Buzz loved me, and all of my trucks. I think every child should be given a toy to love when they’re born. This is so the child can grow up already knowing how to love and how to care for the ones they love. I do not remember getting any of my toys, but i’m sure I was very happy. I loved Buzz. I love Buzz. I miss my childhood, it was so great and I don’t want to forget it for good. All I really wish is that we wouldn’t be made fun of for playing with toys. I used to wish I were older, in high school, but now that i’m here all I want is to go back to being young. Back to “the good ol’ days.” Toys at my house are merely collecting dust. After writing this I feel like I should donate all of my old toys to the children that can’t afford to buy them.

I Get in Trouble On the night of Friday March first I was hanging out with a few of my friends (I will not name them) we went over to the presbyterian church just to have a big snow ball fight. It was the biggest snow ball fight I have ever been a part of. It was 3 V 3 and the teams were as evenly matched as we could possibly get them. We were using mainly ice chunks which hurt a little so it would make us yell and scream, and it didn’t really help that we would do some hard hand to hand combat when we would run out of snow and we were too close to run and get some. Ahhhhh! That’s all we heard out of the smallest one of the group. The ice would just fly across the air and run across the ground. But long story short, we were doing all of that too late at night so some people called the police on us. Officer Shueple showed up and had to talk to us, and he was actually very understanding about what we were doing. He actually made a few jokes, which was very awesome to hear and see. Most of us were quite scared though, because anyone would be when the police shows up to talk to you. He didn’t take our names or anything else. All we had to do was clean up the street a little and head home, so we did that and everything was all fine in the end.

Going to work (School) My normal week day consists of me waking up in the morning at six o’clock. My attempt to wake up is a horrible thing for me but I imagine it is very funny for anyone else. My Mom (or Dad) comes in and just says “wake up Bretty” which I answer with a “ughhh mmmrrrruhhh.” Me waking up every morning is like a momma bear waking up from a very long hibernation. I absolutely hate waking up in the morning. Which regretfully results in my school work ending up not at it’s highest standards. But through the day I will eventually wake up and become energetic. My brother and I get a ride to school every day by one of my parents. My father always tells us that our “work” is school, and it is the same as him going to Madison or Mom going to LaCrosse for work. I do not like my job, mainly because it takes up too much of my day that I could spend doing many other fantastic things. When I wake up I get in the shower first then Ryan gets in while I get dressed and get ready for school. We eat breakfast and leave at the same time every morning 6:30. It is kind of hard to wake up every morning though, because it is so early and i’m starting to believe that my body won’t be able to handle it much longer. But at the same time, it’s good for me, because I will one day be a U.S. marine and the soldiers have to wake up much much earlier than I am now.

A Special Holiday My special holiday is Christmas because it is a time when my whole family can come together and celebrate the greatest time of the entire year. My family is all over the United States the closest being my nana who lives up a block or my amazing cousins in Illinois. At Christmas we all come together and catch up and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. My Grandma makes the dinner it is fantastic, every time. Christmas is the best. And not only is the dinner amazing, the presents top it all off. Christmas is the best. But one year I got a vest. Haha! Getting the vest was the best. Christmas is the best. You’ll hear many people (mainly kids) say that they wish Christmas were every day, but I say it is a good thing that Christmas is just one day of the year. It makes it all that more special though. Christmas is one thing that every young boy and girl can look forward to over the course of the entire year. I along with every other child in America love Christmas. I know that the day after Christmas all I can think about is what next Christmas will be like. It may sound like we’re all greedy but that is the truth of the matter. Making the wish list would probably be my favorite Christmas childhood memory. It is the best part because that is when our wildest dreams and all of our fantastic imaginations can come out onto a short piece of paper. Christmas is the best.

A Special Birthday The number one most amazing birthday wasn’t even mine. My brother’s birthday surprise when he was nine and I was seven was in my point of view outrageous to say the least. It all started when the bell rang for the end of the elementary school day. Brrrrp! I was to meet up with Ryan and a few of his friends at one of the exits. We had no idea what or why we all had to meet at that point, but we did as we were told. When we stepped out the door we saw an amazing sight. Our Mom and Dad leaning up against a limo right outside the exit. We all climbed in and I was so stunned with what was in there. Keep in mind, I was only seven then but it was still an amazing sight. Everything was lit up and it was all black and smooth and so clean, it smelt like newly cleaned or newly made leather I couldn’t tell. Dad asked “where do you boys wanna go?” We ended up going to riverside park first to play some football and other fun things. We followed that up by going to the most fantastic place a group of young boys could go to. Chuck E. Cheeses. Just the mere sight of that palace sent us weak at the knees. We were all handed a certain amount of tokens and told to have fun. We broke off and had the time of our lives. That was the best birthday party ever and I am so happy that I could be there for it.

A Positive Story from School One positive story from school that I can remember is back in fourth grade when us students set up a healthy dinner for our parents. As students we wanted to act like we were all five star chefs. It was quite fun. Being a chef for a night was probably the most fun I had in elementary school. Other than having the world’s most amazing teacher, Mrs. Wizner. Students had to be at school at six if I remember correctly. When we got there we were to put on chef hats and aprons just to get the full feel of the experience. When the parents got there, we would find our Moms and Dads and take them through the lunch line preparing our parents for a healthy dinner. All of the fantastic colors in the line were breath taking. All of the greens and orange carrots and the smell, oh the smell of it all. Just amazing. Our parents were all so proud of us and as they would watch us toss their salads, one couldn’t help but notice how proud they all were of us. It was the most amazing meal ever made. We were all running around getting all of the great ingredients for our parents healthy meal. I especially remember when I dropped my chef hat because I was running around trying my absolute hardest to make it a meal to remember. After our parents were done with their healthy salads, the students got to fix up their own meal and eat with our parents. It was a very fun time.

Life in Wisconsin Life in Wisconsin isn’t all that bad. It’s winter for a few months which is without a doubt the worst part of it all, but other than that it’s very nice here. The bright light at night from the moon is a great thing to see. And in the day the sun reflection off of the snow is blinding. Too many people complain about how horrible it is here, but in my point of view Wisconsin is the greatest state in the entire U.S. Although California isn’t bad itself either. Haha. Oh well, because we live here and not there so we need to learn to love it. People whine and cry about how cold it is here, but that’s only for about four months and the rest of the year is fantastic weather! It seems to me like Wisconsinites are much nicer and kinder than any other states people. Every state has their fair share of dumb people though who make the wrong choices but it seems to me like our number is lower than other states. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west just like any other place, so people can’t be jerks to Wisconsin because we are just like any other state in the U.S. Wisconsin seasons are absolutely beautiful. Spring’s colors are extravagant and Fall has just the right temperature to fit my liking. Summer’s in Wisconsin get hot but certainly not too hot. Which is perfect for many people. For some reason I am tanner than most people which many are confused by, but I like it. Wisconsin is the best place to live.

The Big Game A big game that I got to be (half) a part of was either the Sparta game in playoffs or the Mount Horeb game following Sparta. The Sparta playoff game was quite a match though. The stakes were higher then i’ve ever been a part of. It was a Varsity match that I was excited to suit up for. To us players it felt like the Super Bowl. When we got there the conditions were quite unfitting, the ball was slippery, the field in some spots had shallow but noticeable stagnant water. They’re best players were starting against our best starting line up. End of the first half showed that we had a slight advantage, but only slight. 1-0 us was the score leading into the second half. Sparta scored to tie it up. The ball would scream across the field. In the end of the game it was 2-2 but since there could be no tie, we had to go into golden goal. How golden goal works is that there are two fifteen minute halves and the first team to score in either half wins it all. We played our hearts out just to keep up with them but it all payed off in the second half of golden goal. With two minutes left in the game Chad, our clutch forward scored an amazing one on one goal to end it in our favor. You wouldn’t believe how fast we emptied the bench tackling Chad to the ground in front of our stands. It was such a clutch moment.

Limerick- Soccer Soccer is my favorite sport. Soccer is the best sport ever. I play it often. I play for a club. Soccer is my life, I love it.
Limerick- My neighborhood My neighborhood is quite nice. It’s like living in happiness. You’ll hear dogs bark. Arf! But they’re all harmless. I really love my neighborhood.
