I Am The Messenger.

I Am The Messenger

By: Weston Edwards



  I am reading this book called I am the messenger. It's Main Character's name is Ed, Ed Kennedy. He lives in New York. His occupation is a Cab driver. But this week I read about, Ed helping his people that were on the addresses of his card. The first place was a woman getting raped. The 2nd was A lnely Woman, And the 3rd was a runner. So now, I am trying to peice all of this together.

Key To Success

The key to success is give it your best
Put the work in, Unlike the rest
Be the best, You can be. So why are you listening to me?
You should be working hard, Going non-stop.
So lets go, Walk to the door and put the key in the lock.
If you choose to turn it, Your jaw might drop.
You’ll be standing there, On top.
You may be on top of the world before you know it,
Don’t look to far, Or you’ll blow it.
One man gave you everything you got...
Or are you just gonna all let it drop.
You know I really don’t get it, Some people are really gifted.
But they do dumb things, Like shop lifting
Get caught, Your going to jail.
Then jail brings you down, Now your talents are on “FAIL”.
Or you could choose the smart path and use them and be as good as you can be.
Smart huh, Follow it, And you’ll see.
So just listen to me, I’m not that dumb.
Trust me, Ive been on  fail, And your body just goes numb.
It’s no fun, Honestly it sucks
I just laid there not wanting to get up. Stuck, Trapped in despair.
Just wanting to pull out my hair.
But I fought through it, I Got up.
I wanted to use it, The talents god has given me.
If I have to ill start from day three
I’m putting the key in the lock
So then, I can be on top.

My Dad

My Dad

By Weston Edwards

 
 I want to be just like my dad! He went to college to play basketball and football. I want to go play basketball, just like he did. My dad has been an amazing dad, though. Especially when I was younger. When I wanted him to play with me, he would, even if he was sick. He also had a bad shoulder from football, so it would hurt him when we threw the football. I always loved his saying when I fell and got “hurt:” “Come on Weston, Get up. You aren’t hurt”. He would tell me that because he loved me.

 My dad has gone along way in life. He went to Lee to play Basketball, then he was transferred to ECU to play football and basketball. I hope I get that opportunity to go play sports at a big school. I hope I can get a scholarship, and get my collage payed for just like him. He always strives to make me do my best that I can.

 My dad and I have so many memories we could look back on, we always laugh together when we are hanging out. He takes me to go see N.C. State play football and basketball. That’s where I want to go to collage.

My dad is my best friend, I can tell my dad anything and talk to him about everything. When I grow up and have kids, I want to be just like him and be a great father. That’s why I love my dad :)
