When I go sledding..

One time, on a snowy cold-winter day I went sledding with my little sister. We have a big hill in our backyard that we sled in anytime it snows. But then it occured to me, why don't we go on the bigger hill which is nobody's land. My sister said that that would be fun. So that's what we did. We had gone down a few times then I picked a spot to make my own path. As I was going down I hit a HUGE bump right on my TAILBONE! Ouch!! I told my sister not to go down that way and go down one more time so we could go inside. I was limping around and walking slowly all day the next day.

The Memory

 If I could keep any memory bottled up and be able to look at it whenever I wanted, it would be when I was a little girl and my grandpa would take me for rides on his bulldozer. I would always sit on his lap as he drove it around and sometimes he would let me "steer". I loved when we hung out all day outside while my grandma was sitting in the gazebo watching us. I helped my grandpa do all the outside work or would simply just watch. When he worked on car at his garage I would watch him and hand him the tools. One day I helped him make a concrete back portch and  my hand hit it while it was wet. He left it there to stay; forever.

The Time I Went to Church Camp

     


 Over the summer I went to church camp that was four hours away. It was super fun. I got closer in my religion and faith while having the time of my life. Every morning we would learn about our religion, and then in the afternoon we would have free time. During free time we could go to the canteen to get a snack, go swim in the pool, boting on the lake, zipline into the lake, and go down a very bumpy waterslide. Also there was something called the Blob. What happens on the blob is someone is at the far end of the giant blown up blob laying down and someone else jumps off a ten foot ledge on to the other side of the blob so the person laying down goes flying into the air then the lake.

Should we be off..

   
 We have school on veterans day, but we don't on Martin Luther King day. We have shool on veterans day to educate us about this topic/subject. I think Martin Luther King day is just as important because people with a darker skin color were fighting for thier lives each and everyday. I think we have school on veterans day because none of us can or have already fought in a war therefore, as kids we wouldn't think it was a big deal. (Not all kids.) I we are off on MLK day we should be off on veterans day too.

The Woman Who Couldn't Stop Growing




 I just read an interesting article online. It was about how a runway model caught a disease that made her taller AND gain weight. It ruined pretty much her body and life. She died Monday at a young age of only 34. Before she was diagnosed she was 5' 8" and after her death she was 7' 2". She was around 400 pounds by her death. She couldn't walk and had one meal per day. I feel really bad for this woman and her family. I hope eventually doctors can find a cure for this horrible disease. Here is the article:

Baby Sitting

 I love little kids. They are so adorable and cute. I like when they try to do things like you; like eat all your food and wash your hands. When my family gets together for a party I'm usually the one watching the younger one, but I don't mind. I enjoy babysitting. I can't wait until ninth grade because I will be able to babysit four different kids. Baby sitting can be hard at times, but I enjoy a little challenge. I say that it's always a challenge until the are sleeping!

Mrs. DeBolt
1717 W. Main St.
Festus, Mo 63028

Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

I love basketball and cross country. They are my two favorite sports. I enjoy basketball because of the adrenalin pumping through me. I love to pass, shoot, and dribble all day long. I love cross country because too me; it's a stress reliever. I feel like the faster I go the more I will get out of myself. Cross-country can be tough at times, but I always find a way to release all of my stress.

I also love my friends and family. They love and support me with whatever I choose to do. They're there when my confidence collapses and just when I need someone to be with me. I feel that all of my friends and family could/would take a bullet for me. When I'm late for the bus stop my parents will always try to catch up with it. They will always love them unconditionally; like I will them.

Something I enjoy in school is Technology class. I had it for only one quarter last year, but this year I have it for a full semester! I enjoyed having projects with PowerPoint and paint. The typing is fine, but some days my hands just aren't very coordinated this early in the morning. That's why I liked having computers 7th hour. I look forward to having Technology for the rest of the year.

                                                                                                                        Sincerely,

Letter From an Ex-Friend


 I received a letter from my ex-best friend  today. She is now in prison and I am really scared. She told me not to tell anyone, but I know this needed to be informed. She is basically blackmailing me. What's even worse is we used to be really good friends. Although we were good friends, my mom said she was a bad influence on me, so I wasn't aloud to hang out with her or talk to her. I am very thankful my mom told me to do that or else I would probably be in prison too.

Game Day!!!

 Today is game day for the Festus Middle School Lady Tigers! Our game is away today against Grandview. We won our last game against Hillsboro. I am really excited to verse Grandview because we haven't versed them since last year in 7th grade. Most of the teams we have versed have gotten better. I am definitely ready to see if Grandview has improved or not. Wish us luck!
