Boom, boom the sound was enormous as it played in our head what it was going to be like, as we waited for it to get dark!
It was the fourth of July, Independence Day of the United States on July fourth 1976, by the Continental Congress declaring that the thirteen colonies regarded themselves as a new nation! My cousins and I did huge sparklers on the boat! We were at Lake Cherokee! Mallory was so ecstatic that it was about to start! Her face was as red as cherry pie! There were tons of boats out on the lake waiting to see the gorgeous colorful fireworks! It was getting extremely dark! All of the sudden Boom, bang, crash, the colorful fireworks exploded in the air going left and right! They were going everywhere it was awesome they were huge and very bright! It was a blast to sit and enjoy a wonderful day with my family and watch such a beautiful site. At the end of the fireworks show they shot up a huge American flag with shooting stars coming out of it!It was a fantastic enjoyable day! We all applauded and headed back to the lake house!
Always have time with your family. When I have my own children I will tell them that amazing day on the lake!
The Power of Words
People Judge me by the outside.
They just see me shed tears.
No one knows the inside.
I feel invisible.
I can not talk or walk.
I am in a wheelchair.
No one cares about me.
I’m like a door, I just get pushed around.
I am smart.
I can learn.
Everyone different.
Not the same.
Holocaust Lessons
One thing I learned from the holocaust:
Don’t judge people by what they look like or dress like or what their hair color is. Example There were students walking in a library, and did not want a book because of its cover the librarian told her you would enjoy it! She read a couple of pages and found out it was the best book she has ever read! Never be fooled by what you see on the outside because on the inside it is often a different story.
Second thing I learned from the Holocaust:
Sometimes we just have to let things go even if we do not get what we want.
(Anecdote) One time In Volleyball the ref called a bad call and everyone started to get mad but we had to just let things go because it is what it is.
Number the Stars
Dear Diary.
Someone had just knocked on the door. Momma will you get the door? Yes sweetie said my mom. I smiled back. It was Ellen mom talking in a deep quiet voice. I was trying to listen but i just could not here. I could tell that my mom had a look of fighting. When momma came back in I could tell that she was trying to cover it up. She spoke and said Ellen will be staying with us for a couple of nights! I was so ecstatic! Ellen went and got her stuff then she came back. We all ate dinner than Kiristi went with mom in the dark room to tell a bedtime story. Papa had sat down and told Ellen and I that if anyone came in to night Ellen would be your pretend sister! ‘Papa said we can only hide one not three’. Peter took Ellen parents to hide because they were jewish. The soldiers were going to take all the Jewish and kill them. Ellen and I went to the bed and giggled and told stories. Papa came in and said ‘ to night is going to be a long night’.

Communicating using technology and Communicating in person.
Communicating using technology and in person have many differences.
Communicating in person most of the time you have to answer back. When you are communicating on text messages you do not have to answer back. You can just walk away from your phone or you can delete the message. Some people have in settings where they can see if you read it or not, but it is still a difference between the two. In person it requires more time. Communication by text can be done quickly.It is easier to understand if a person is joking or not because people could take you as being mean rather than joking .There are many differences between communicating with devices and communicating in person.
There are many similarities between communicating in person and using technology.
One way that there both alike is there both communicating with each other.You are able to see their face in both computer and in person.Eventually, someone will need to leave or end the conversation.You are able to stay in touch.More than one can join the conversation. Sometimes you need to communicate in person and have human contact. It does not matter how you communicate it matter who you are communicating with.
A not so Perfect Beach day!
It has been a year, but I still remember the beach shark attack like it was yesterday.
Macy, Madison, and I rode to the beach on a red, white, and blue plane we had fun in the plane it was a three seater plane so we all got to sit by each other. It was a bright sunny day a marvelous day to go parasailing, it was a three hour drive on the plane but in a car it is like ten hours. We finally arrived at the big beach Pensacola we unloaded our luggage and put it in the beach house we put on our bathing suits on and headed down to the beach. Macy, Madison, and I decided that we wanted to go parasailing so we did the color of the para sail was yellow and blue with lots of flowers on it. Madison was so scared up in the air as soon as we got up there she was screaming “help, help, help”! Macy and I said it is going to be okay, I promise! Finally, we went to dip in the water and… the string broke and there was a shark it was swimming around us! Macy, Madison, and I were scared to death! We didn’t even know how to breathe! It was horrible we thought the shark was going to eat us all, and im so glad the shark didnt. Finally,they put a rope down and told us all to hang on so we did. After that we went back to shore and had wonderful rest of the 7 days we stayed. We all thought were never parasailing the rest of our lives again!
When I have my own children I am going to tell them what happened that day at the beach!
5th Grade Reflections
This year i have enjoyed all my teachers Mrs. Loube , Mrs. Brantly, Mrs. McFall, Mr. Oynes, and Mr. Mcbride. They have taught me a lot if it was not for them i would not be this smart as i am today i don’t think they can give more than what they gave me thank you for teaching me this year. Even though next year we don’t have outside next year we have had it for 6 years. we only have 7 years with out it i think we can survive that. We are going to middle school next year. 5th grade as went by so fast and i’m going to miss all the teachers who has given me all they got thank you for teaching me this year. Hope you have a fun time next year with the forth graders. We will miss you so much. Once again thank you.
