And Then I Relized.

It was all perfect up until now. Everything is falling apart. Meteorites falling from the sky, killing and seriously injuring innocent families.  I thought life wouldn’t end this way… But it is and there is nothing I can do about it. Mom kept telling me over and over again that she loves me . That’s when it hit me, it was over. We have been traveling around the world trying to get away, but it is everywhere. We ran into a retired astronaut and he looked broke down and tired. I guess he has been putting up with the same things as us. He told us that the Milky Way galaxy was falling through space, and that is why all the meteors are falling to the Earth. He also said the inner planets and outer planets were colliding, and soon we were to collide with all the planets as well. I’m only 11, and this is happening? I started to think about all the little kids, so happy so young and so unaware of what is happening. The temperature was getting hotter, I think that means we are getting closer to the sun. I thought about my home town, and my school, and all those great memories I have had. I have had a lot of great memories, but not enough..  We turned on the radio, and we heard the estimated time of how much longer we had left… Two hours left kept replaying in my head. I have to admit I was scared, but I had to be strong for the other kids I was with. After an 1 passed, more and more people started to get scared and started to freak out. Two minutes left and I knew it was over.. Three, two, one…  I opened my eyes and the I realized.. it was just a dream.

My Life Long Lesson

Tell your parents all your grades. The good and the bad, because if you don’t you get in a lot of trouble. How do I know this, well I’ve done it.

In 6th grade I was struggling in math and I would come home and tell my parents the good grades and not the bad, so my parents thought I was doing good but when my report card came out in a couple weeks they saw math grade was a low B. I got grounded for two weeks. I could not do anything so, I was bored.

That is why I tell my parents most of my grades when I get home, and I have not gotten I trouble with my grades since then.

The Darkness

Every day I get up and I don’t even think about it but, I can see. Some people can’t see. I have a great life but without my sight I don’t now what I would do.

The flowers, the birds, the sky……….no, just the darkness. I would hate to lose my other senses but I cherish my sight. I could not see anything, not my family, not my friends, not any of my surroundings………..no, just the darkness. If I was blind then I would have to learn to read braille. Reading braille just randomly would be very hard. This is why I do not why to be blind.

Fun at the Farm

My most memorable moment over the holidays was when my dad, my sisters, my cousin and I went to my Mimi and grampas farm.  We went four-wheeling on the new land, and had a blast. When my dad told us we were going to stay one more night because it was going to snow we were so excited.  That night it started to snow.  I snowed a couple of  inches, but by the time we woke up it was all gone.  We packed up and headed home.  So it turned out that fun at the farm turned into none at the farm.
