Summer

Summer

Summer is almost here
A time to lay out in the sun
A time where you can play all day

No school
No work
You have freedom

You can sip lemonade
Sit In a chair
Or splash in the pool

Summer is a great time to stay in the sun

Challenge Week Six: Media And A Memory

American Girl Doll

When I was little, I just couldn’t do without my American girl doll. It was one of my most treasured toys of my child hood.

The American girl doll had beautiful hair, a variety of clothes in different colors and patterns,
and she had pretty bright blue, shiny eyes with eyelashes that went on for miles. While I played with her, I felt like it was my best friend and she always listened to me. The American girl doll was my favorite toy of my childhood. I don’t know what I would do without her.

Without it, I wouldn’t having anything to do with my cousin when we were younger. When ever we had a sleep over I would always bring my American girl doll .Then we would dress them up and play with them. I will always remember the great memories I had with my American girl doll.

Favorite Quote

“The world is not a wish granting factory.”
Augustus Waters- Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Augustus said this to Hazel when they were talking about her and her cancer. Augustus told Hazel this, because she wanted him to stay alive, but she also wanted to speak with the author of her favorite book, before she passed on. He tried to tell her that she couldn’t get everything she wanted, but then he gave her his wish from Make-A-Wish foundation, so she could fulfill both wishes. Even though both of her wishes came true, that doesn’t mean that yours will always come true.

This is my favorite quote from Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I love this quote, because it helps me know that even the wishes you want more than anything, don’t always come true. You might come really close to making that wish come true. But, as Augustus Waters said ” The world is not a wish granting factory.” From reading this quote and the book I learned that you don’t always get what you want. Even if you work really, really hard, you won’t always get it, but you might learn something about yourself, and you might find something better.

Compassion

Beauty and the Beast by Walt Disney Animations

In Beauty and the Beast, Belle shows compassion for the Beast by being nice to him, even though he is mean to everyone. She tries to find the good in him. When she finds his good side, she tries to tell everyone that he really is nice on the inside. They need to not focus on what he looks like on the outside, but look deep down and they will find he truly is a nice guy. Everyone just thinks he is mean because he captured her, but as she is kind to him, he shows her that he truly is warm-hearted. Nobody let him show that side before, because they always treated him like a ferocious beast.

The Time I Got Stung by a Bee

Standing in the sizzling, summer, sun
Tiny droplets of lake water slowly trickling down my face
Fun
Family
Food

Having the time of my life
Nothing could stop me

Then it hit me
Pounding
Sharp
Pain

A bee has just stung me
My eyes begin to fog up
Tears trickle down my cheeks

A bee has stung me

The fun has stopped

Why Friends are Forever

“That’s not true you’re a beautiful girl!”, friend one exclaimed. “Well, so-and-so doesn’t agree with that”, friend two responded. “Well, don’t listen to so-and-so, they’re wrong!” friend one stated. “Ok, thanks for cheering me up!”, friend two replied. Friends are forever and always.

When someone is bullying you, or you are having a bad day, friends help cheer you up and make you feel a whole lot better. For example, if a bully tells you that you’re stupid, your friends explain to you that it’s not true. That you shouldn’t listen to them, and what they said is not true. It makes you feel so much better.

When you’re going through personal issues, your friend supports you and helps give you advice to make the right desicion. For example, when you struggle with disappointing your friend because you like a guy that they don’t like. A true friend will be honest and tell you they don’t like him, but they will tell you in a nice way so they don’t hurt your feelings. They will also tell you that they will still be your friend no matter what you decide to do.

Friends help you make the right decision and help you get through rough times in your life. Even though you may move on to new places later on in life, your friends will help you grow stronger along the way.Therefore this is why friends are forever and always.

First Day At Camp

Into the crowd of anxious summer staff.
Sprinting over to the trampolines.
At the Gaga Pit before the ball.
Towards the door.
One step closer to praise and worship.
On the path to the dinner hall.
To the pavilion,
For a small group chat.
Down to the cabins,
For a goodnight sleep.
Go Have Fun!
