I am also on Glitter Girls Diamond and in a show as one of the lead roles. These things a just a few things about me. Hi I’m Evan Antonius and I’m mostly a photographer so I will almost never do an article on something unless it's something I'm really passionate about or something that I think the readers (that's you) would like. You might see me with a camera during tail- gates, parties or big events, like the costume contest on Halloween. I will be taking pictures of kids that costumes I think are cool and the winners of the contest, but please do not ask me to take any pictures of you or your friends. I will tell you if I want to take a picture of you so you don’t have to be surprised. Things I like are Pokemon Go (I mean who doesn’t like it), tailgates, volleyball, basketball, football, penguins, Adam Ruins Everything, THE FLASH, and Legends of Tomorrow. I know a lot about superheroes so I ace the superhero quiz every time. I play percussion and that is basi- cally drums, xylophone, and cymbals. Things I dislike: people who ask me to take their pictures, violence, home work, people that tell me what to do for no good reason. Hey readers! I’m Morgan Monasterio, and this is my autobiography!

By Morgan Monasterio Hey, I’ Morgan Monasterio. I’m going to talk about some better ways to start school. Imagine this, you wake up for school at 6:15 in the morning, and realize your bus comes at 9:00 and school starts at 9:30! How would that feel? Extra sleep, more time to eat breakfast, time to get dressed, everything you need to do in the morning, you have extra time! Now you only need to wake up at 7:00 or 8:00! Here are some really surprising facts you might just want to hear! You can have insomnia, or the trouble to sleep, and that results to accidentally sleeping on the job. A few years ago, an oil spill almost happened because of sleeping on the job! Now let’s jump into these important details I am about to tell you. First of all, some kids have such a short breakfast because they woke up late that they often can’t focus in school. It is very harsh to these kids, and everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast controls a child’s behavior with most of their school day, and that results to getting in trouble. You could also be diagnosed with anxiety or depression. Another reason is that there are displeased kids. Kids sometimes come up with outrageous reasons to tell the nurse to go home and sleep such as, ‘I am sick. I have a bad cold that I just found out.’ or ‘I threw up and cleaned it up and need to go home.’ and the last reason, ‘My stomach is killing me.’ These are all kid reasons why they want to go home. They are so tired sometimes that they purposely don’t pay attention in school. Another accurate reason is that the number one thing to do at night is sleep. Here are some very effective reasons. One, sleep helps your body repair vessels in your body, or heal broken bones or a damaged system that you hurt badly. This is essential to brain health, which helps you focus the next day. When you wake up early, that doesn’t benefit your health.
