Award Ceremony

My best friend, Jordynne Brown, and I took the ACT test. We both got very good scores. I got a 20 and Jordynne got a 24. The test is made for high schoolers to take. Only kids with exceptional grades and GPA's are invited to take the test. Anyway, because we got very good scores, we got invited to an award ceremony down at Drury University. We both got a letter in the mail stating that we were invited, and a coupon for a camp that Drury University does. It is for gifted children. Anyway, it said that we would like to inform you  that your child (it was addressed to my parents) has been selected to receive an award at Drury University. I was very honored and my parents were very proud of me. After the awards ceremony there is a tour around the campus. I picked out a very beautiful and professional dress to wear to the ceremony. I'm very excited about the ceremony. Then I'm also very excited about the camp this summer that I will be attending! I do think that my sister will have the same opportunity next year!!

Summer Camp

This summer my best friend, Jordynne Brown, and I were invited to go to a summercamp at Drury University called Summerscape. Summerscape is an educational summer camp for gifted children. The reason Jordynne and I were invited is because we both have excellent GPA's and we both had exceptionally high scores on our ACT test. we discussed the issue with both families and our parents are graciously allowing us to attend. The camp is lasting 11 days, which is the longest we have ever been away from home. We will be staying in the college dorms and will be attending two classes each day. We have selected a "CSI" class which specializes in the study of Forensic Science, and another class entitled "Movie Classics"which specializes in the study of directing and the study of comparing modern day film techniques to old fashioned film techniques. I love the opportunity to go to this exceptional camp because it makes me feel great that I was gifted enough to go. I also would love to go this camp because Iwould like to feel more independent.  I'm also glad I got his opportunity because I like to think my parents are proud of what I have achieved.

The Teachers I Appreciate the Most

I have many teachers that I appreciate. I have three teachers that I appreciate the most though. My first favorite teacher was my 4th grade math teacher, Mr. Kearns. Mr. Kearns was the teacher that got me interested in math again after a horrible 3rd grade year where math was my poor subject. He made math class fun again, and appreciate that more than anything else in the world. Another teacher that I appreciate is my fifth grade teacher Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown was a very artsy person and loved drama and plays. I loved being in her class because she loved books and so did I. She came up with great projects such as throwing a meter stick at playground equipment pretending that it was a mammoth. I also love Mrs. Sears my advanced English teacher. I love her because she understands the teenage mind and helps us when we are having those teen drama moments. She is always willing to help also. I have always loved my teachers, but these three were the best a kid could ever have.
