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

First game in months

Yesterday, I went to go play basketball for the first time in like 2 months! you can believe how tiring it was to be playing >___<. I only won 1 game of the two that we played, but i tried my little heart out every game, and got like half of the points in each game! It was fun, but now i feel really sore and i have to walk kinda funny haha :p
