Intelligent, responsible, and having morals are all great characteristics of being a leader. A leader is one who can guide or direct a group. A leader is a very key asset to a group, but followers or members can be just as important. In any thing you do, there is always a leader. A class […]

My Favorite Poem

April22

Whatif By Shel Silverstein from the book “A Light in the Attic” (1981) Last night, while I lay thinking here, some Whatifs crawled inside my ear and pranced and partied all night long and sang their same old Whatif song: Whatif I’m dumb in school? Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pool? Whatif I get beat […]

My Favorite Toy

April10

When I was a little girl, I just couldn’t live without Barbie. She was the prettiest, most pristine doll I had ever received.

Expository Writing- Why Gossip is Harmful

The Championship Game

There I was, standing 30 feet away from victory. I glanced at the score board- 24 to 23. This was it. Thousands of eyes stared me down- watching my every move. No mistakes now, I thought as I drew my trembling arm back. I toss the ball slightly to the right lining it up perfectly […]

Snow

January24

When your toes are curled up and your fingers are numb, When you step into the cold, it has just begun. When your nose is red and your eyes are wide, When the ground is sparkling white, so is the sky. Under the snow is dirt and sticks, Under the snow is bugs, maybe even […]

Christmas

December12

The feeling of cheer spreads through the room like a very contagious disease. The sounds of the Christmas Songs fills our hearts, in which we have been longing to hear. The wrinkles and scowls disappear instantly when people began to tell of their exciting Christmas pasts. The aroma of the roasting turkey, just taken out […]
