Recent stuff.

Today I'm just going to write about some things that happened to me recently. On monday I came home to find a easel that my dad got me. I was so excited because that's what I really wanted for Christmas. My dad said that he got it at a auction and all I need now is some paint, I would prefer oil paint, some brushes and some canvas. I already have a lot of ideas for paintings. Yesterday I went to the park with my dad and we walked my dog. It was a lot of fun and we watched people launch rockets. I had a lot of fun lately!

$100... All for charity!

If I had to give away $100 I would give it to people in need. I would want them to use it for things they really need like food, clothing, and some fun things too. My favorite part of giving it to them would be how happy they look. If I didn't give it to a homeless shelter I would donate it to the Rachel's Challenge Organization because I was truly inspired by them and Rachel herself. I think charity is a very good cause even in a greedy world!

My trip to Iowa

Last weekend I went to Iowa to see my Aunt and my cousins. Last Friday after the dance I went to, we packed our bags, got in the car and headed for Iowa! My Aunt lives in Newton Iowa, so it didn't take too long, it actually seemed shorter this year than it did any other year! When we were on the road we stop at some places and my grandma tells me about them and she tells stories about when she went there. She said that you know that your still in Missouri when you see salt domes. We always stop at this one gas station that has a hand dryer that blows so hard it moves your skin! I had a lot of fun!

Helping others!

I love to help others and I do it a lot. One time I help another person was when my little cousin Bodie was learning to walk and I was playing with him and taking care of him for my cousin Alison, his mom. I love to play with babies so I was playing with him and he couldn't really get around so I helped him walk and that was how he learned how to walk. I was helped one time when I couldnt roller skate good yet and I was struggling so two teenagers came over to me and told me how to skate. They even spotted me and made it easy for me by saying it was like walking, but with wheels on your feet. I was very thankful for them because now I love to skate!

Rachel's Challenge Assembly

Yesterday we had a assembly at the high school. It was about a girl called Rachel that got killed in the Columbine School shooting. The assembly was very inspiring. It talked about how Rachel wanted to change the world and spread kindess in a chain reaction. I thought that her story and her writings were very amazing and inspiring. My favorite saying of hers is " I won't be labeled as average".This is one of her journals with her sayings on it:

9/11

When the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened I was only 2 years old. I don't remember it at all. But my Grandma told me that she remebers it and it scared her. Yesterday, at school we watched a video about it that was very heartbreaking. My friend said that she cried so much she couldnt stop until 2 whole classes after she watched the video. There were some pictures that were so sad and some videos that I have seen before still made me gasp, esspecially the video of a plane crashing into the second tower, the camera man was so close that he had to run from the debre. Thank you all for seving our country god bless you.
