Thanksgiving Break

What I am Thankful for

        My brother, James, is in the United States Marine Corps, and he lives in North Carolina. Him living there is a reason why I rarely get to see him, not that I did when he lived at home, but it is hard none the less. Him being a marine he does not get very much time off of “work”, but over thanksgiving weekend he had got an extra three days of leave ( leave is the word that my brother uses when he gets to come home for more than one day). I also had an extra three days off of school that weekend because it was a holiday break. On my brother’s leave I got to spend a whole day with him, just the two of us. We went to Duncan Donuts, because it is my favorite place, and ate hot coco dipped donuts.  I had I great time with my brother, over our long weekend. I am thankful for the short, but meaningful time I had got to spend with my brother.

Its not that Unusual

Unusual

Just this weekend I did something I have never done before, I went to a cheer competition.  My friend Leanna is a competitive cheerleader, and a good one at that.  She is on a team named “Fierce”. I had never heard of competitive cheerleading, until she asked me if I wanted to go along with her, her mom and boyfriend. The whole time I was there I felt like I was in everyone way, with the pushing and shoving, it was just too much for me.  When it was finally Leanna’s time to cheer, I do not know why but, I was still nervous, with the throwing and catching of the other cheerleaders, again it was just too much for me.  Apparently it is part of cheerleading to be risky to have a good performance and it is very, very important to be flexible.  We’ll all in all I had a lot of fun, being there to support my friend.

What will I fight for

Fight for the right

   What does it mean to fight for something? It means to be willing to take a stand, to risk getting hurt by someone else just to defend a belief or object.  And, if I value it, then it must be an ideal that makes my life worth living. For me, it is my dog, Cherry.  Cherry was and is my first dog  that I raised on my own, I got her when I was seven.  She is no taller than a liter of soda and just as wide.  Cherry is sun to my shine, she is the color to my rainbow with her my world dark and colorless. But with all seriousness, my dog is a part of my family I cannot live without. I will fight for my dog, because I cannot imagine my life without her, in fact it hurts me just thinking of losing her as I write this. Cherry, does make my life worth living as crazy as it sounds. 

If I can go anywhere I have never been

ALOHA!

 

      WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD TOLD MY DAD THAT I WAS GOING TO INVENT A STATE THAT WAS THE SAME TEMPERATURE ALL YEAR LONG, BUT THEN HE HAD BROKEN MY DREAMS BY TELLING ME ABOUT HAWAII. EVER SINCE THEN I WANTED TO VIST THE PLACE I HAD THOUGHT OF IN MY DREAMS, HAWAII. I HEARD SO MANY STORIES OF ALL THE ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO THERE, LIKE SURFING, SWIMING, SCUBADIVING, SITE SEEING, TRYING NEW FOODS, THE FRUIT, AND MY FAVORITE RELAXING. MY DREAM DAY IN HAWAII WILL START AT ALL OF THE CUTE LITTLE STORES, THEN I WILL GO TO THE BEACH, AND I WILL END THE DAY BY GETTING A MASSAGE AND EAT A ETHNIC MEAL. AHHHH, I CAN SEE MYSELF NOW BEING POOL SIDE WITH GRAPES BEING FED TO ME. MY ONLY FEAR OF ME GOING TO HAWAII IS, NOT WANTIN TO COME BACK.

My invention

When I was eight I came up with many inventions that I thought would better the world in some way. As I got older I started to forget them one by one, until I had almost none left. Although I still remember one, which I think is the best of all, the Prescription Goggles. I came up with the idea when my cousin and I were swimming, but we could not play any games because she could not see very well. I had asked her “why don’t you where your glasses”, she answered rudely, which I did not mind because I had just came up with the best idea ever. Prescription Goggles would solve many problems for many people, not just for a day in the water, but for marine biologist and divers who are in the water for a living. I was so proud of myself, until I found out they already exist. 

If money were no object

If money were no object

      If money were no object I would be a baker. A baker is a person who owns or is employed to make or sell bread, cakes pastries etc. I would be a baker because of the simple fact that I have and always will love sweets. The best part of baking is the process of making/baking to get the flavor or creation I want. They say “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work another day”-unknown origin. I know that if I were to become a baker I will not want to leave the kitchen or bring my work home with me, so I will never work a day in my life. After being an extremely successful baker I will become a baking teacher, to spread my love for baking. My school will be in the heart of many different cities, so I can get children out of the streets and into the kitchen. Hopefully my students will continue with baking, but if not they would take their experience and knowledge and use them in whatever they choose to do.

One thing that I would change in my life.

Surgery 

If I could change one thing in my life it would most definitely be my dog having a gall stone. I cannot imagine the pain she had went through day and night. She could not tell me how she felt, so it took a while for me to notice that she was acting strange. When I did finally take her to the vet we found out she need emergency surgery. She is not the only one who was affected by this unfortunate string of events. My father and I also made some sacrifices. My father who had to pay for the costly surgery, because he saw the pain and fear in my eyes, even though we were already going through hard times. I was so afraid of everything that could go wrong. I cried my way through the longest three days of my life. Not having to go through any of this would: have protected my dog all of her pain, my father from the loss of his money, and me the heart ache.
