Autumn

Autumn, which is really weird here in California, is a very relaxed season for me. The thing that excites me the most about Autumn is the weather. This excites me the most because I love cold wether. I enjoy the cold weather so much more than the hot weather. Also, i like seeing the leaves on trees change colors. It is very interesting to see because where I live, there are so many trees, and the leaves for each tree change in different time periods. lets hope that my Autumn isn't ruined!

Little Monsters

The first time I met my little step brother, Richi, he was really short. He had long, girlish hair and he always seemed in a bad mood. His personality reflected the way his mood was. Whenever he would play a video game, he would be cursing and yell at whoever would tell them to be quiet or to relax.  That day was also when I met my little step sister. Her name was Wendy, and she had the worst attitude that I have ever seen and heard. When something wouldn’t go her way, she would try and make it so that she gets it the way she wants it! Even when it was just an accident, she would be on you to fix it, or she would be the first to point it out. She had a really skinny, frail body; it looked like she barely ate anything at all. She had a high pitched, annoying voice, almost like a banshee’s, and the more she talked the more you wanted to leave. These are my little step siblings, and you can tell the way they are in my perspective.

Student Memoir

One of the sample student  memoirs that caught my attention is entitled "Death's Lesson," written by Mitchell W, age 14. ( Her memoir can be found at http://teacher.scholastic.com/writeit/readpoem.asp?id=8816&genre=Memoir&Page=1&sortBy=)

Well, today i read three different memoirs from three different students. I liked all of the ones i read, but from the three i read, one really stood out to me as the one i should write about. It was called Death's lesson. What i liked about this memoir is that the writer really detailed his experiances that he had whenever he was with his grandfather. The part that really stuck out to me was when the writer spoke about the feels and the emotions she had when she was speaking about seeing her grandfather on the bed, fighting for his last breaths.

SRLA: First Run Of The Year

So on Saturday, i went to run with SRLA all the way in griffith park. i had to wake up at 5 in the mroning to get ready for the run! i wasnt tired though, because i went to sleep early. When i got to the starting point, we had to stretch so that when we ran, our muscles wouldnt cramp up, and we took a little run around the parking lot so that we can get out heart pumping. When we started to run, i was ready to start the run! During the run, all i could think about was food, becasue i didnt really got a lot to eat in the morning >.<. When i got to half way point, i was thinking of taking a little break and walk. I had been running the entire first half, so i thought to myself that i could really use the little breather. For some reason, my legs didnt want to stop! I ended up running the entire distance, which was 3 miles! I was really proud of myself because i had never run 3 miles non-stop! I cant wait till the next practice, which is going to be 5 miles! Lets hope i can do that non stop as well :D
