Rambling Autobiography
When I was little I used to go to a friend's house. Her name was Leila. She lives in a large house that was three stories high. I've always been amazed at how tall houses and buildings could be. Leila and i would run around her house and play dress up in her living room. Our parents would talk and talk for many hours. We loved running up and down her stairs. She had a pool in her backyard with fountains that were shaped like lion heads. We would sit on floats and stay under neath the fountains. She also had a swing set that we would play with when we got bored of the pool. But the pool was never boring especially with the two of us. I would swim every time I came over to her house. We were both adopted from China. That how our parents met, and that's how I made a new friend. Leila,my best friend, drifted apart from me. My mom and I stopped going over to her house because we are both getting older and I had gymnastics. I would have meets on the weekend and then have gym over the summer. The gym, made me go for many long hours and I would have little time to spend with friends. We lost in touch and then we never called or talked to. She had stuff to do and so did I. Yet I've always wanted to go see her again because she was my best friend. we both have facebook now and I'm friends with her. But its not the same. I don't go and see her we just message each other. I still miss the times when we would just talk and have fun. Last year her mother asked if we would like to come over for 4th of July. But she said no. I wanted to because Leila was a big part of my childhood and I don't want to forget that. It's always been important to me to enjoy life and remember the good times and the bad. I love to reflect on my life and think of all the things I've accomplished.

Blind Man

Down the road on a dark starry night, with the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, a blind man wobbles in agony feeling for his eyes. His close tattered and worn down. He grabbed a stick out of anger and waved it through the air while screaming. Searching for his long lost eyes he reached down hoping, with pain in his face and sorrow in his heart. His shoes all old and ripped, with his socks brown as dirt, he continues his search for his lonely black eyes. The man, his eyes gone, were lost while helping the bossy English and King George search for treasure.



Looping: Journey

When I think of a journey I think of traveling. Finding who you are. What your supposed to do in this world. There's always a reason for living. You just might not know it yet. Discover the world and your path that makes the world better.  A journey can mean to have bad times and good times. Every journey has an ending and a beginning. But no matter how happy they are they will end even if you don't want them to. You grow up in a new environment every year whether you move to a new country or go to a new school. a journey is what ever you believe it is. As long as you make the best of the situation. A journey could mean marriage or a relationship with someone. Sometimes you hit a rough patch. But that's what your supposed to happen in a journey. We make mistakes and that;s what's makes us better humans. We try new things, they may work or not work. But we continue to do our best. This is what makes our journeys so special. If you could right a story about your journey through life, every person's story would be different. Every story you tell is unique to you.

Personal Essay: Area 51 and the Fly that was Never Found

If I was a fly on the wall I would want to go and see Area 51. Its a place where people believe that aliens exist and they thought the government was keeping them stored away. I would want to be a fly on the wall so that I could see if these rumors are true and see what secret operation they are working on now. People believe that we might be able to live on mars one day. I wonder if they are having experiments or making a plan to put a living animal on Mars to see if they live. Area 51 is a top secret military base that's located in Las Vegas. The grid number is 51 so that's why they call it Are 51. The United States Air Force is in control of the base. It was created in 1954 for the U - 2 spy plane but later Area 51 was used for many other operations. It was meant to be top secret and only the workers and anyone that came in had to take an oath.

<span style="color: #582aaa; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I have enjoyed being here and this class has helped me as a writer. Thank you so much for all your help. Writing in general is good for me. I love to write but I'm not very good. I have a lot of trouble writing when it comes to an assignment that I don't like. But most of the time I write really well. I love to write history paper because you have to look up info on the computer and I love to learn about history. I like that I learned about brush strokes and the have helped a lot in my writing. My writing has expanded and grown more as a student. My favorite pieces that I wrote this week are my These I have loved... poem, Blind Man, Looping: Journey, and my rambling biography. But if I had to choose my favorite was These I have loved poem. I enjoy free writing and writing poetry. Poetry comes very easy to me so it's also one of my favorite types of writing.
