The Odyssey

Keldrick Jackson/1st period

The Lotus Eaters

The Lotus Eaters

One strangest things I have experienced is when me and my family was about to eat Octapus.

Me and my family where in Tokyo, we wanted to try something new, so we chose to try a sample of Octapus. Everyone at my table wanted to try it but me....I wasnt ready.

"Kel why do you look so disgusted?" Grandma said. I wanted to say get me out of this place because it smelled like a fish pit. But I didn't want to act like a party pooper. So, I said no im alrighty. After 10 minutes of thinking in my head, "im fixing to puke my guts up", the food finnaly came. Sadly, I was thinking in my head. I took a bite into the smelly, gewy, moving octapus leg, I only had a sample but it was SOOO disgusting. Until i actually swallowed it, my tummy has never felt worser until after I ate octapus.

My greatest temptations

The Sirens

My greatest temptation is when I kept stealing cookies from the cookie jar. When I was 7 years old, I was the sneakier than a baby mice. All I ever heard from my grandmother was, "Don't go into my cookie jar or you're going to face the consequences." So, of course I wanted to try my grandmother because I always got my way. After my Grandmother fell asleep, I was ready to do my task. It was like I was getting ready to take the article of confederation from the white house. I cut on my flash light and went into the kitchen, it was harder than I thought. It was toys everywhere, I was running into everything, all you heard was "click , pow, ding." I couldnt even make it to the kitchen and right after that, all I heard was,"whip."

Narrow escape

One day I was walking to my friends house, well riding my skate board. I was listening to my music walking down his street, atleast 30 seconds, I Saw a German Shepard. I thought it was nice since it was my teachers K9 dog. So, I walked past the dog slowly and all of a sudden, I heard growling! I automatically panicaked. My heart was racing like NASCARS. I dropped my skate board and jetted. While I was running, I was just thinking about life, and then i started playing dramatic sad music in my head. after atleast 1 minute, I heard, "Bubbles Get over here! I was so reliefed when I heard that. I went back for my skate board and walked home quickly.

Circe's Advice

The best piece of advice I have gotten was from my uncle. " I know you have heard this plenty of times but DON'T DO DRUGS." and "Say no everytime." Drugs are very deadly and they can mess up your life. Teenager around the U.S. drinks and/or do drugs. If you play sports and do drugs, you will be slown down. It can also kill brain cells and mess up your skin. Here is some evidence on what you have to do if you get addicted to drug.

"I have to be honest, when I was told that I had to go to detox I was so scared. I didn’t know what the hazards were of stopping on my own. After talking to other friends who had gone through the same thing I knew that I couldn’t do it alone. The detox protocol that I was put on probably saved my life."

The hardest decision

Scylla or Charybdis

The hardest decision I had to make in my life was when I had to pick which pair of shoes did I want. I felt bum rushed so, I had to hurry up because i was taking forever but I like to look good and have good clothes. After a while, I cut my list down to 2 pairs of shoes. I asked for advice, starred them for a while, and pictured me wearing them around. After all of that, I chose my shoes and the worker went to go get the shoes in my size. Sadcase, They didnt have my size. So that illimanated that 1 choice and luckily, they had the other shoes in my size. When I came out of the store all of my friends said, "finally geesh you took a whole century."
