My Shopping Day

Picture From Here

Yesterday on my day off I went shopping with my mom, sister, and grandma. My grandma is going on a trip to Europe this summer and wanted some good fashion pieces to bring with her, so she brought us along. While I was there I snagged the opportunity to find a nice dress for my ACT ceremony in May. I looked at lots of stores, but couldn't find anything that I liked. I then went to The Limited and found a gorgeous A-line dress that looked like someone from the 60's designed it. I loved it!! I then looked at the price tag, and almost died. Just kidding of course. I then found a different dress and fell in love all over again!

Helping the Planet

Yesterday was Earth Day. Earth Day is all about helping the planet. Do you help the planet? There are many ways to help save the planet. Some ways include planting new trees after others have been cut down, or even just doing something simple like recycling. Recycling is when you take paper, glass, or aluminum and it is manufactured into other goods. People make purses out of empty juice pouches or they make banners out of maps for a bon voyage party. When you recycle you toss each thing into a large green box with three arrows on the front. Remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!!

My Sisters

I have one sister by birth. Her name is Stella and she is 12. My best friend is named Jordynne Brown, and I also consider her my big sister. (Only by ten days though!!) I remember meeting her on that first day of preschool....She was one of those kids who loved everyone and anyone. She ran up to me and asked me if I wanted to play barbies in the playhouse. Of course I said yes, because she was kind of pushy and very excited. I believe we have been friends ever since. I was with her when she broke another boy's arm and also the first know, from her, that her baby brothers were born. I consider her family my family and she is the same way with mine. We go everywhere together. We spend almost every weekend together. We have never ever gotten into a fight.  I'm very glad to have a best frind who understands me and my family. I don't think any other kid could process my family. Last weekend my mom, Tracy, Jordynne's mom, Crystal, Jordynne, Stella, and me went up to River City casino and stayed the night. We then went to The Mills Mall and shopped for like, ever. I'm also happy that she has baby brothers. I consider those beautiful baby boys my brothers too.  I couldn't be happier with any other second family!!

My Dream Trip

If I could go anywhere I want I would go to Rome, Italy. I would love to go to Rome because of the great architecture and magnificent Italian food. Rome is the home of pasta. Rome has many beautiful cathedrals and many other museums. Rome also has a very detailed history. The Roman and Grecian myths are also very interesting. They say that there is a specific god for everything that happens on Earth. For example, Zeus, the god of the sky, is responsible for thunderstorms. Also Poseidon, the god of the sea, is responsible for tsunamis and hurricanes. Most people don't believe in old Roman religion anymore, but it is still a fabulous subject to talk about.

My Favorite Type of Reward

Usually people do things for others so they can get something in return. I, on the other hand, prefer to have self praise as a reward. The definition of self praise is usually given as: giving encouraging words to yourself after you have done something good. My definition of self praise is that feeling inside you when you get the satisfaction of helping someone for nothing in return. Most people have not felt the warm and fuzzy feeling that I am referring to. Most people would ask for a gift, or money, but I would just like the satisfaction of doing something to help the world.

iPhone

I have been wanting an iPhone for about a year. My parents always said that I was too young to have one. My family is very strict about rules, especially my mother. My mother is a teacher, so her top priority for me and my sister is to get good grades.  My mother and father have very different personalities. My mother is very strict and my father is very laid back. My father usually gives into my pleas but he stuck by my mother's side this time. But i got an iPhone because he finally gave in! My mother wasn't to excited about this, but she finally gave in. My sister gave an uproar to my parents, so then I felt horrible. My parents gave her a lecture and I finally got to use my phone without feeling guilt!

Being Healthy

There are many ways for someone to stay healthy.  A healthy breakfast is very important but there are also many other things that your body needs as well.  You need a good nights sleep. Research shows children from ages 6-18 need at least 8 hours of sleep. Your brain cannot function correctly if it is sleep deprived. Another way to keep your body healthy is to eat many fruits and vegetables. If you eat sweets all the time,  your body will get tired and require more sleep. Eating fruits and vegetables will give you enough energy to survive the school day. You need to wash your hands every time you eat or go to the bathroom. Germs are around you every day. Remember be healthy!
