Today in Mr. Schick's class we continued the presentation and took some more notes on the vocabulary he gave us. I was just informed that I had a doctor's appointment at 2:00 in the class before. I was a little nervous and I didn't know if I could just walk up to the office at the end of class or if I needed to tell Mrs. A (my next teacher).

He was really nice about it and I thanked him for the offer. Then we watched a video of his dog jumping because he was so happy to see him.

Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h
