October 2010

My family has all different kinds of hair.My mom’s hair is comfortable.It’s always resting on her shoulders.Her hair is a range of colors: blond,brown,and a touch of red.Me,my hair is bored it doesn’t do anything.My hair is as brown as a tree trunk.My grandmas hair is loving.Whenever she picks you up the sweet smell of lavender rushes toward you.It’s the sun round and yellow.Princess my dogs hair is white as snow.It’s curly and short.Her hair runs down her back like a snake.

The Leap of Faith October 2010

Luxurious buses take us to where we are going to be for the next two days. Unsure, I put on my harness and walk down the hill to my first challenge. Slowly I climb the pole of what is called the Leap of Faith. As I got to the top I could hear everyone start to say my name and say “jump’’. When I gathered up enough courage, I made a leap but missed the bar. The only bad thing is that I got a ginormous wedgie from jumping that far up. Encouraging leaders lower me down as I try to ignore my huge wedgie. My legs tremble like a volcano when I start to walk up the hill to the bus that will take us home.

I am myself. October 2010 I see myself growing. I want to make a difference. I am empowered. I strive to be my best. I feel inspired. I try to touch the sky. I am loved. I dream about a better place. I push myself to the limits. I am myself just better.

Polar Princess October 2010

With hair of glistening crystal and a cloak of giant snowflakes the princess rides her trusty polar steed on an adventure into the artic night. Leaving her icy palace,she leads her animal friends to explore the great white wilderness that is her realm. Her way illuminated by the mighty Aurora Borealis, and her dress shimmering in it’s rainbow light, she feels content.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I was on my way to Arizona to see my grandparents.When I got to their house my grandma told me we are going to a dog show in Houston,TX.I walked out to see the puppy that we were taking.I can tell ya,it wasn’t what I expected.When I went out there it wasn’t a dog but a puppy.It was a six month old puppy.So the next day we loaded her up in the car and hit the road.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline;">After a long drive we finally got there and it is the most amazing sight I had ever seen.There were all sorts of dogs.There were tall ones,skinny ones,even ones that looked like a ball of yarn.The first thing we did was give Sabrina a bath.While we were giving her a bath. She started to lick the bubbles of her self,but after a while she started to stick her tongue out as if she was trying to get the bubbles off. So we sprayed off her tongue and took her back inside to rest.When we put her in her cage I hear a watery noise and I looked in the cage.I almost laughed when I saw what happened.So I went to tell my grandma that the puppy[I bet you can guess] and she rushed over to see.When she saw what happened she got soooo mad.So I took Sabrina out for a walk while she cleaned out the bed. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally it was time to start the competition.The first few rounds the puppy did pretty good.But she started to get lazy. So I asked my grandma”can I try” she said”sure I don’t see why not.” So at the beginning of the last round I did everything the judge told me to do. Then he had us all line up with our puppies for examination. After waiting for a few minutes the judge says “puppy”I finally realized what he meant when my grandma was yelling “you won,you won”. From that moment on I refer to it as the great puppy victory.
