and Profile: Malala Yousafazi:, Scrooge, Nick Kleckner, and Malala Yousafazi undergo a major change as a result of

sudden events in their lives. 

In the play “A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley”, the character Scrooge has a change of being a cruel miser

Week 4: Free Choice

One topic that interests me is softball. I like softball because I have been playing for 7 years, this year will be my eighth year playing. I enjoy playing softball because its a very fun sport to play. I hope that I get to play softball on the school team all through high school. The positions I play in softball are the pitcher, center field, third base,and sometimes first base. I have been pitching since I was in third grade.
