The Zipline
Montgomery Lamb
I looked down like I had so many times before. I must have been hundreds of feet from the ground where I wished I was standing. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t blink. Then I thought, “What did I get myself into?” I gripped the rope tighter and prayed for a miracle.
This was going to be my first time going off the zip line. When I woke up, little did I know that I would be face to face with one of my greatest fears.
My friends were cheering for me; they smiled at me. I smiled back, not just any smile, a fake, I’m scared to death smile.
I was staring down at the ground again. I was thinking about all those times I had done something new. I would do it, like it, and go on it again. Then I remembered the times I did not go on a ride. For example, when I did not go on the roller coaster, because I was too terrified. Or, the time when I did not go down the water slide, because I was too frightened. At that moment, I thought about when I would get home that day, after the activities I did not do, and I would be disappointed. I scooched forward a little bit, gripped the rope tighter and let go.
I couldn’t see. Everything was green, all the trees, and so was the grass. I was going like a time machine. The whole scene was a blur. I kept zipping and zipping until finally the zip line came to a stop.
I looked around, and tried to stop my dizziness. Then people started running to me. I saw they were all going to help me down the ladder. Well, I didn’t need help.
I tried to unhook the harness as fast as I could. Great, another person ran to where the beginning of the zip line was. I quickly put my foot on the ladder, I did not want anyone besides me on it.
I did I one step at a time although I was trying to do three. I got down and started to run, run as fast as my little legs could carry me, to where the zip line began.

Mystery Science Work
1In science our class, (and I think the whole 5th grade,) are making water filters. You get to choose a few objects and would have to build a filter with them. We would have to get the Mystery Water through our filter with the least particles and the clearest water as you can. We tested today but my group had the most dirtiest of the class. Our whole class agreed on trying the experience again with a new plan. I hope that my groups filter gets the cleanest!
Comment on what you think that would be a good water filter.
“It’s Just Me Myself And I”
0This is my first time blogging, so let me introduce myself. My name is Mojo, which is really a nickname, but you probably don’t want to hear that whole long story. Since I never blogged before, I am not sure what to expect. I am looking forward to posting weekly and sharing many stories about things that I find interesting in the world. As an almost ten year old, I love music, acting, and most social media sites. So, my guess is that I will enjoy blogging as well. I play the acoustic and electric guitars, the upright bass, the electric bass, and the ukulele. When I am not making music, I am listening to it. Of course I like pop music, but I also love classic rock, and jazz. Some of my favorite bands are, Shawn Mendes, The Chainsmokers and Maroon 5. Yes, I know those are some different types of music, but that’s me…different! Until my next post……see ya’.
