Alphabet about me

A- art. I'm in jewelry class, and I like doing art projects. Drawing pictures is fun, and I always make my friends signs for their bedrooms.

B-book. I love reading, and when I get really into a book no matter how big it is I try to read it in one day. I've read all the Nancy Drew books, and the Twilight series.

C-Career. I want to be a Criminal lawyer when I get older. They always know what they are talking about, and it would be an interesting job.

D- Dad. My dad is one of my favorite people in the world. He's always there for me when I need him, and he’s a good cook.

E-Eggs. Eggs are one of my favorite foods. I could pretty much eat eggs every day if someone would make them for me. My favorite kind is cheesy eggs on toast.

F-Flowers. My mom used to have a very big garden, and my sisters and I would pick flowers all the time. Daisies, Roses, and Daffodils are the prettiest.

G- Grandpa. My Grandpa is the person I look up to the most. He is very friendly and giving. When I was younger he was at all my sports games, and still goes. And I go to his house after school and he always has very good food. :)

H-Happy. I love it when people say nice things and make me happy. When I get caught in a bad mood it cheers me up.

I-independent. I'm the oldest of four kids, and I'm on my own a lot because my parents are busy dealing with my younger siblings. I usually have to pick them up from school, so I go home and I'm by myself for an hour and a half.

J-Jazz. I was in dance for 11 years, and for 6 of them I took jazz class. I know how to do many of the hard steps, and the split jumps.

K- Kind. My mom tells me all the time that I'm kind to my brother and sisters. I give them the things they ask for, and the things they need. I like helping out my family.

L- Loving. When I was younger, I had a lot of pets. From hamsters to kittens, I loved all of them. I like to take good care of them.

M-Moving. When I was in Seventh grade, my parents told me that we were moving to Livonia. It wasn't very easy. I had to make new friends, and get used to my new neighborhood.

N-Nice. I know how it feels to be made fun of, and I don't like being the one making fun of others. I make sure I'm nice to everyone.

O-Optimistic. Some people think of everything in a bad way, but I like to make sure to look on the bright side of situations. If everyone sees the worst in people and things, then who will see the good?

P-Play. Usually when I baby-sit my little brother, he asks me to do different things. We usually play house, dinosaurs, and cars.

Q-Quintuplets. When I was younger, I used to watch movies on Disney channel every night. One of my favorite movies was called Quints. It was about a mother with a daughter who ended up having five children at a time.

R-Rest. After school, I'm usually really tired. When I sit down to watch TV. I rest.

S-Snake. The animal that is a pet and I'm most scared of is a python named Cheetah. When I was younger I had nightmares about it attacking me.

T-Tea. My grandma and I used to go to a little restaurant called The Tea Room. We ate sandwiches cut into triangles and drank delicious tea.

U-Understanding. When my friends ask me for advice, I usually know what to tell them. Also, I don't judge what they tell me, and if it is bad, then I'm nice about it.

V-Virginia. Over the summer, I went on a trip with my family to North Carolina. On our way there, we stopped in Virginia for one night. We went downtown and ate excellent food.

W-Woman. My great grandma went to many rallies when she was younger to fight about women's rights, and I look up to her very much for that.

X-X. X is my favorite letter in the alphabet, because it doesn't have very many words associated with it.

Z-Zebra. Lately, I've been seeing a lot more zebra print shirts and dresses. I love the pattern, and I just bought a zebra tank top.

The Best Years

School has just started, but at this point, I'd say that these four years will be some of the best years of my life.




Every morning, getting ready and walking to the bus stop in the dark is a chore. The porch lights are the only thing showing you where to go, but it isn't too bad. At first, the bus is scary, but by the third day of school you're used to it. Soon enough, you meet people on the bus to sit with, and that makes everything much easier. Lucky you, school starts almost a half hour after you get there so you can either walk around with friends, or finish up any homework you forgot about or just didn't do.




Going from class to class is confusing at first, because of all the upperclassman. Every move you make, you can hear them snickering and saying "Freshman!" but after a while, it isn't too bad. You get a hang of how to get around, and where everything is. The only thing that takes a long time to get used to is the bell times, because you aren't sure when to leave class. At lunch you know where to sit, and what line to go in.



At 2:19 when the bell rings, you speed out of class like you have Wylie Cayote chasing after you and you are the road runner. There are a few reasons why. You worry about missing the bus, because you don't know the exact time they leave. You don't want to walk to the bus by yourself, and you also need time to make sure you can get all your homework. Getting into your locker is a breeze, and once you get your things all you can think about is the game later on.




Football games-friday nights spent with your friends getting ready, and then going to "watch" the game, when really all you do is socialize. The scoreboard and light poles illuminate the field, to the point you can see the sweat drip off the players' faces. I'ts almost fall, so the temperature outside is perfect with a sweatshirt and jeans. Everyone is huddled into groups, trying to talk over each other, so it comes out more like a yell. Going back and fourth from the bleachers to the entrance, waiting for more and more friends to come. This is what high school is all about. Getting good grades, and being with your friends.
