Griffin Anderson American hero: By Jacob Adams

As the new school year approaches I am reminded more and more that Griffin  Anderson will not be in our English class. After Countless nights of crying myself to sleep I decided to tell the story of the boy that made bald beautiful. We can all agree that Griffin is the best person that we know, and that we should be thankful that he graced us with presence. I personally am a better person for having known him. Knowing the Griffster as well as I do I know he made his decision with the well being of others in mind. He simply could not be in this class because he knew there were other young minds that needed his leadership and wisdom. If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye you don't have a heart, heck I'm crying just writing this. I know it will be tough for Ms. Long not having her favorite student in her favorite class, however she will get over it in time.

The many amazing stories of Griffin have become the stuff of legend and will be passed down through the generations. It has often been said that Griffin's frown can light up a room, and that his two cents is worth no less than a dollar. Across America it is widely known that he cured snow blindness in cats, and invented the wheel. Before sliced bread there was Griffin. I was a firm believer in the elusive sasquatch until Griffin informed me he didn't exist because he had killed that dirty creature with his trusty lawnmower blade. I couldn't believe my eyes when he showed me the boots he made out of his fur. Speaking of lawnmowers Griff is what you would call a mower whisperer. Give him five minutes with your mower and he can have it running better than when it rolled off the lot. Since I'm only required to write 350 words I'll stop after these words of encouragement. when your having a bad day remember your not as good as Griffin.
