Unhackable
The weather was nice, cool, and very soothing. Every morning when I get up I look at my poster of Aishwarya Rai (Indian actress) laying on a Ferrari and listen to rap music to get me pumped up for school. This kept me relaxed and comfortable. Today was different though, I got up and started thinking were the computers at school hackable? I said to myself, "Probably not because my school spent a lot of money on the system."
During school I was thinking how I really never tried hacking into the school but I always hacked movies, softwares, and music from home. With that in mind, I totally forgot about the situation. When I went home from football practice I started doing Precalculus and Chemistry homework. One of my friends called me up and was like, "can you get me a test from school off the computer?" I was like for what class? He said, "it really doesn't matter?" I was like let me see what I can do.
The next day, I checked out a laptop in the morning from school thinking why not try it. If I get caught I'll make up an excuse for what I was doing. The best time I could do was during third period because I had study hall. So the laptop I checked on was networked to the school. Hacking wasn't the hardest part. The part that was hard was trying to do it under 45 minutes. Was it possible? Possibly, because I hacked into the National Bank of America and it took me about 27 hours. I prayed and hoped that I didn't screw up because those were the most intense hours of my life.
My friends where asking me if I was going to do it? I was like yea! Why not? Life is full of obstacles and if you want to succeed you have to try at least one time. They were like if you get caught? When I get caught I'll worry about that later. It felt like I was in Mission in Possible. I started when the bell rang which was at 10:00 a.m. When I am always trying to hack something I always eat peanuts because they say it's brain food. Some of my friends were watching, and said I couldn't it do it. That just got me more motivated. I hacked into the school in 30 minutes. It really surprised me. I found a test for Calculus and just printed that out and gave it to my friend. That whole day was I really happy because I just did the unhackable. So my friends and I went and celebrated.
The next morning, word spread that I hacked into the school. Everybody was complimenting me on my skills but some teachers thought it was really cool and others where disappointed
