My Trip To Mexico

Author’s Note: A wonderful experience, just you and your family having the best of time in the sun.

The smell of fresh flowers and moist air, all sticky after five hours on plane a ride. Were here in Mexico! Mom, Dad, Maija and I, all hopped off of the plane looking straight at the airport. Every sign that we see is in Spanish. What was your favorite vacation spot that you have gone before, mine was Mexico.

“What would you guys like to do first?” my mom blurts out. Every one of us were thinking. “I would like to go straight to our resort.” I said. Already as she had taken 500 pictures on her camera, just a few more.  As we make our way to the resort.

Huge, very professional plus right when you walk in they give you a free drink. The taste of mango, peaches and cherries, it just blended in your mouth so evenly.  Finally all four of us find our room, which was way too far from  the pool! Finally at the second day of being in the Mexico, we moved our room right next to the pool, “YES!”

Every day we all went to a different restaurant. Different foods, shopping, also at night some exotic animals were there to feed, there was even bull riding one night. That is all around the center of the resort.

As we finished up our week, it was the best experience that I have been through. The best part was all the different flowers; many different animals around and the most amazing food ever made. Sadness in all of us never wanting to leave. I hope I could come back again as a girl and maybe someday bring my own family here too enjoy the fantastic life time experience like I did as a young girl. 

Where is She?

The Hunger Games

Author's note: I will be retelling what has happened in Katniss Everdeen's story of a game called the Hunger Games. 
  The main character is Katniss Everdeen from district 12, the poor district. This competition is a life or death experience for Katniss, sprinting from wild beasts and other tributes from different districts. Hiding is the main game for everyone that may be seen. The hard part of this is surviving, and all of this is for a life time supply of food. She has built up her confidence throughout the book, by believing that she will fight till the end no matter what will happen. 

Cheerleading

Author’s note: Cheerleading is not a simple sport, there are a lot of techniques you must have. Focused, stiff and prepared, for what may happen next.

You may think that cheerleading is not a sport, maybe not for a football game cheering for your team. When you are going into the big leagues, that is when cheer is a sport. Flying around in all different stunts, such as elevators, extensions, basket tosses, there are so many different ways to use the smallest girls on the cheer team, you tell me that isn't a sport.

 Competitions are just a thrill to be in and to be at. Personally I have never been in a competition yet, But I cannot wait till I am in one. For being in a competition you have to work your best and be stiff as a rock. From what I have heard that the judges are very strict; for instants falling is just one of the worst points you can possibly go down in, or losing your smile.

When you are cheerleading you must have great collaboration, be loud and just work as a team. It is not the football or basketball kind of team, it is a team that you have to listen to each other and help others. We are all connected in cheer, such as if the back is not stronger enough then the bases are getting weak, were they are losing their balance, and when the bases  cannot hold up anymore then the stunt cannot be successful .

Flying is the hard part, you’re up so high in the air you just cannot look down. Strong legs is a nice thing to have and being able to hold yourself up is once again another. You really cannot think about a lot just look straight ahead and you will stay standing, well most likely.

Some simple rules and techniques in cheerleading. Football one thing, competition is another.  Maybe this might make you think differently, or you may not. Stunting, the most difficult part. Cheering, you just need to remember every word and action in the cheer.  Cheer may not be a sport but we will have competitions and rivals. 

Brown hair Witing Circles

Author's note: Every time you have a stupid moment people ask are you a blonde but then your a brown.

“Oh Mama, what color is the water?” I ask sweetly

“The water is blue” she said annoyingly were it made me just walk away. After that moment I went to my sister and asked her,

“Why can’t blind people see?” I asked very stupidly

“They can’t see because they are blind, now go away!” she said in a stern and angry face. Then I went up to my dad and asked him,

“Why is the earth round?” tilting my head and thinking

“God put it that way.” He just rolled his eyes and just walked away. I got to school the next day and when up to Tiffany, but she said to me,

“I lost my phone” with a panic,

“Were is it though” I asked with a blank face.

“O my gosh you are such a dumb blond,” and started to cracking up. So then I ran straight to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, but I am a brown?

Childhood Memory Writing Circle

Author’s note- You can always make your childhood better because you still are young so make it happen.

Your childhood is an important part of your life, if you were one of those crazy kids who can’t just sit still or one of the quiet kids that just love sitting inside asking your parents questions. Well i was one of those kids that were very obnoxious and none stop running. My favorite childhood memory was just trying to sell anything that i could find just to earn money. One time my sister and my bestfriend pluse me, we did a dancing show in my garage. We got about five different shows that went on, but only seven new people showed up, they only had to pay 50 cents for each person. I had a blast that day.

Roller Coster Writing Circles

Author's note- Going to six flags is a blast, but if you are there for your first time everything is a heart pounding experience.

All your friends so happy that you have arrived to great America, and then there is you scared to death, thinking what will you do you aren't just going to sit there and do nothing and watch your friends have fun. An hour pasts and you haven’t been on any rides yet, but then it comes to your time to have fun. Your first roller coaster it's not time to back out. Going up and up, everything so small coming slower. I’m at the top yes, what is going to happen next I can’t see over anyone's shoulder, in the middle being short you can never see anything coming. and down we go herein the fear coming out of my mouth. I did it I made it through my first roller coaster!

Friends Writing Circles

Author's- friends are always there for you.

Friends are the ones you can tell a secrets and they are there for you.  when you have a broken heart or just you are down on that day. It doesn't matter  where you are in life what you do or how much you have.Your best friend is always there for you.

Technology Writing Circles

Author's note- From the beginning of time to the year 2012 we have come so far in technology maybe even too far.

“Mom just five more minutes” Sarah said

“No you have to get ready for your sisters band concert” Mom said

“fine but i will just say goodbye to Rebecca” Sarah said typing and giggling. this is what the typical parent gets when kids are on the computer like Facebook or twitter. Is this what are world is going to be like “Five more minutes” are generation can be lazy but we need to back away from the technology, and stand up to be who we are not what is in front of use.

Dreams Writing Circels

Facing The Edge 

Author's note- Dreams can always mean something.

Black and white all over, alone and quite. There was footsteps louder and louder, the rattle of keys frightened me. A low voice told me to come into the darkness, “SWOOSH” there was a bright light shining in my face but the room was different, there were a million people all over where I couldn't even move,  its like being in New York on New Years.  All of a sudden I was facing the end of the earth, “Watch out” yelled a man and then something hit me and i fell off the edge screaming no help then “BOOM”. That was when I hit the floor, like I mean literally I fell off my bed right before I went splat in my dream.

What’s Next?

Rarely anyone can make it out of the hospital alive from rupture appendices, but this young boy named, Colton, survive. With all the emotion thinking that you are going to lose a blessed child, and praying god for hope to let this young 4 year old boy live. Don’t let him slip away! As a pastor, Todd tried so hard not to flip out about this, but then he did cursing to god saying “Why my son, why?!?!?”

The world could be the same as this book “Heaven is for Real,” by Todd Burpo, losing families every dear to you. Just like the Burpo family in this story, where they almost lost Colton because of his ruptured appendices. Scary things can happen so don’t just run away from them, they could just change your life.

As a student, I have never come close to death nor would I want to. That was the same with Colton but when he was cold for a while in his surgery it really changed his life, because he met the one and only God. From the dads point of view of the story once is son told him that he was with god in heaven with wings, it struck him hard.

Colton was never ready to see God, he did believe in him but he didn’t know he was going to see him waiting for Colton to rise up with him. What would you say you passed away but came back? In Colton’s plays he wasn’t held back by that he was inspired and determined that he was going to try to change the world like Jesus wanted. He wanted to have to world all sidle and wise.  Colton says to his father “Dad you need to see Jesus. He is so beautiful, with his sea blue eyes, and a smile that light up the heavens.

If you know someone that has ever came out of the hospital alive from a rupture appendices. They were blessed because rarely anyone can survive that, but Colton the 4-year-old buy did and he was a blessed child, meeting god going in heaven and having small wings to carry you away. All of this in one big family trip, thinking this trip as a disaster at the end it changed to be a life changing experience to all.
