ahw - my day

            (Monday) BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
My very annoying alarm clock went off and with each BEEP! was getting louder and louder. I opened my eyes and quickly turned off the earsplitting alarm. It was just in time too because I could feel my head about to explode because of the loud noise in my room. I can't believe my brother Michael was sleeping through it even though his room was just on the other side of my left wall.
           Though I felt like I hadn't slept a second, I got out of bed at 6:00am. I sleepily walked over to my closet with little shelves with my clothes organized on each separated part of the shelves and got out a clean outfit for the day. I got on my clothes, put one of my pairs of shoes on. One of the pairs were pretty new but the ones that I put on were from last year.
           By 6:30, I was out in the kitchen and eating my usual breakfast of cheerios. Today, I had them in nice purple bowl. And by the way, did I mention that I'm a SUPER slow eater. I mean, I can be fast if I really wanted but I hate rushing so usually, I'm just my normal, slow self. At eating of course.
           By now, it was almost 7:00 and I had to make sure my room was nice and neat with my bed made, pack my backpack and make a sandwich and put some snacks in my lunchbox. It was 7:25 when  I was brushing my teeth and reminding Michael, my older brother who is thirteen and in Mrs. Giesler's academic lab class and homeroom, that we had to leave. I said "bye, Jenny!" to my aunt, "have a good day!" she replied with "what did you have for protein in your breakfast?" "I forgot" "do you want a piece of sausage?" "sure but I have to leave right now!" I got the piece of sausage from Jenny, shoved it in my mouth, and rushed outside, Michael at my heels.
           We walked quickly to the bus stop at Greenfield Elementary and hopped on the bus, thankful for warmth. I took off my gloves and settled down for a short but loud ride to school with my friends.
          (Tuesday) When I got to school, I quickly put my things in my locker but left my math stuff out. I waited for my friend Sophia at her locker and when she was done getting her math binder and her planner out, we walked down the hallway and set our things down outside of the lab. I said, "Come on. I don't want to be late." I was saying that because I didn't want to be late and I was going to get a bagel. We fast walked down the hallway to where there was a long line of kids waiting to buy a bagel. I got in the back of the line and waited my turn. The line actually moved a lot quicker than I thought it would. I was still digging the money out of my pocket when it was almost my turn so I let a couple people in front of me. Then, I was at the front of the line and the girl at the desk asked me, "Plain or salt?" "Plain please," I said. I put my money on the table. "Thanks," I said as I took my bagel. I started to walk away when I noticed the cream cheese. I grabbed some and headed to math class.
           I walked into the classroom with Sophia just in time. I sat down at the end of the row of tables closest to the door. I noticed the new arrangement of tables in the room. I think that's the only time I saw them in a different place that I was used to the whole year. We wrote some things in our math journals and then worked some in the volume 1 book. Afterwards, we started 2.9 in the homework and remembering book.
           (Wednesday)After math, I have gym. I walked to my locker, put my stuff from math away, and Sophia came over to my locker to wait for me. About three seconds later, we started to head to the gym. The hallway at the gym doors was very crowded with about 50 other students so far. Once mr Manchester came to the door and opened it for us, I walked in with Sophia and we talked for a bit until attendance started and we sat down in our floor spots. A bunch of people were talking but it wasn't too loud. Then Sophia and I jogged together for the five minute jog after we did some pushups. After the jog, Mr Manchesters class played  a volleyball tournament and my team did pretty well: we tied two games 6-6 and lost one game 8-7.
            (Thursday) I walked into eng. tech. thinking I was late but I was actually two minutes early . I sat down at my seat next to Ellie's chair which was empty. At about 10:22 Ellie walked in and we got the lego kit 20. We started building Green E and then started Blue 10 (we accidentally skipped Blue 8 and Green E and did Blue 9 so now we were on Blue 10. Since my friends and I brought our lunches to gym so we could go straight to eng. tech. and then strait to lunch, all we had to do was grab our lunch boxes as we went up the stairs and walked straight through the lunchroom doors.

Zap Zone-story slam version



It was the spring of 2012. It was my birthday. I was turning eight years old. It was a beautiful day outside and I wanted to play outside but I was much more excited to play at Zap Zone because it was only my first time going there. As Michael, Aunt Jen and Jenny walked in, I saw Aunt Katie and Mary Jo right behind us and I held the door open for them. They each held a present in their arms; we were also celebrating Michael's birthday even though his wasn't for four days. I walked inside and my head nearly exploded it was so loud in there. Everyone was screaming and running around and I knew my ears would get used to it. I also knew that I would have lots of fun. Everyone should get to have fun at one point, right?
We walked into the lazer tag place and we waited on these soft bench things until the man in the room finished telling the rules. We told a bunch of jokes and I told a joke too. I said, "What has four eyes but can't see?" He couldn't figure out the answer so I told him, "Mississippi!"
"Oh," the nice guy said and I could tell he was confused for like two seconds and the said "Ooooh!" and smiled. He got it. So, right after everyone told their joke, we went inside. Just me, Michael, Mary Jo, and Aunt Katie. Everything was glowing from my socks to my hair tie to the wall on the other side of the huge room with obstacles. After wards, we did my party or about three more hours.
 We played one round and then came out the awesome glowing room. Smiling. Wishing we could play forever. At least that’s what I thought anyway.
            We walked over to the room that the party was about to take place in. “I’m starving,” said Michael. He was turning eleven. One year older than me now and three years older than me at the time.
           Apparently he didn't know this but - “We're having pizza and cake in like, fifteen minutes, when everyone gets here, Michael,” I said.
Once everyone arrived at the party, we all sat down for lunch. There were about fifteen people there. We ate pepperoni and cheese pizza. For dessert, we had bumpy cake from Sander’s. It was delicious.
           We had lots of fun the rest of the day just like everyone should.

AHW - Pogo Sticking!

Over the summer this year, I was visiting my Aunt Katie and Mary Jo at their house and having a good time with my brother Michael playing outside. We were having a contest to see who could jump more times in a row. First, Michael got 3, then, I got 2, then 3, then, 5, then 14, then 17, 19, 23, 27 and that was my highscore (By the way, that took the whole weekend). Michael caught up really fast but not all the way because he never got up to 23. We ad to pogo stick on the grass because we didn't have helmets and that was the rule. I can imagine what it felt like right now, as I am writing this story. That weekend was very fun because it was my first time ever pogo sticking (plus, afterward, we got frozen lemonade which is my favorite kind of lemonade ;))

AHW - My New IPod

My New iPod 

Last year on my birthday, I got a new iPod 5 from my two amazing aunts Aunt Katie and Mary Jo. They are very nice and by the way, my birthday is April 7 in case you were wondering. When I opened the bag and ripped out the tissue paper and saw the box with the apple symbol on it I couldn't believe my eyes. IT WAS AN IPOD 5!!!! I was so excited that as soon as I took out the box with my brand new iPod in it I ran over and hugged Aunt Katie and then Mary Jo straight away! I opened the box once I went back to my seat, my brother Michael right behind me, to set up my iPod touch. Oh and did I mention, I was SUPER EXCITED! Once we set it up completely with WiFi and everything, we went back home after thanking Mary Jo and Aunt Katie several more times and (this probably isn't very healthy for you but...) Michael and I were so excited that we played on our iPods almost the rest of the day.   :D 
Now, my iPod has a black case on it but for a long time it was bare.
Also, If anyone sees it, can you give it to me because I lost it at school.  :l thank you.

The Park

Last week, I went to the park with my grandma, my brother michael, and my cousin ben. Michael is 13, Ben is almost 1. First, I pushed Ben in the baby swing for a while. Afterwards, Michael and I went on the monkey bars and they led right up to a glider thingy and I went on it a bunch of times again and again and again and again. I had a very very very very very fun day!

The Top Thrill Dragster

I was at cedar point with my two cousins, two aunts, and my brother. "Are you sure?" Aunt Katie asked me."Yes!" I said excitedly. "OK, I'll text her right now." We were talking about the dragster. Mary Jo (my other aunt) was at the other side of Cedar Point and she was with my two cousins and they had just finished their second time riding the top thrill dragster.I finally wanted to try it. Five minutes later, Mary Jo, Jake, and Emilia got to where we were. First, we rode the Sky hawk and then we all headed over to shoot the rapids. After that, we went on the Dragster and I was really nervous the first time because it went SUPER fast and it went strait up while twisting around and then, straight down while twisting! I loved every seventeen seconds of  each time we rode the amazing rollercoaster called...

Cedar Point

It was the summer of 2014. I woke up early at my Aunt Katie's house. Why? We were going to Cedar Point and I was so excited because I hadn't been there since I was seven! When we arrived at Cedar Point, Aunt Katie, Mary Jo (other aunt), Emilia (cousin), Jake (cousin), Michael ( brother), and I went straight to the park after putting on sunscreen. Just so you know, Michael and Aunt Katie were not big roller coaster fans but the rest of us were. Even though last time I went to Cedar Point I wasn't really tall enough for many of the rides, I was almost positive that I would love the roller coasters there. The first ride I went on was the gatekeeper which is a fairly new roller coaster. I loved it! Next, we went on the Millennium Force. I posed during the picture… then, we rode that again and finally we were about to go on the dragster! But unfortunately I chickened out and Mary Jo texted aunt Katie and we met at the middle of the park. I rode the scrambler with my brother a few times and finally I worked up my nerve to try out the top thrill dragster😁. Once aunt Katie texted Mary Jo and we got to the dragster, I was really nervous but I managed to stay calm and by the the time the ride started I was super excited and we went on it two more times and wow did time fly! By the time we were finished going on it three times, it was nine o clock! Probably because the lines were soooooooo long afterward we got snowcones and started walking to our hotel room it was one of the best days of my life!!
