Someday I'd like to go to Harvard or Notre Dame and study law. Ever since I was 7 I've wanted to go to Harvard until my mom introduced me to Notre Dame....Now I cant decide. My parents are pushing me to Notre Dame but if I want to be a lawyer, Harvard would probably be the be a better idea.

I daydream about so many things like getting the purple 64 Chevy truck that my dad promised me that I'd get it and we would fix it up together.

I daydream about being amazing at sports. I was 5 when I made my first goal in a soccer goal! I've made swooshes before in basketball but never from halfhcourt.

Love is a very powerful word.......And then there is like..........These two words are very different. Most of you have liked someone, but you've never been in love with someone. You love your mom, dad, siblings, and the rest of your family, but for a girl to love a boy or a boy to love a girl......That is very powerful.

I finally saw Alice in Wonderland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably will by it on DVD when it comes out. Another amazing movie is The Blind Side!!!It is a true story and just came out on DVD!! So if you see/buy it, think how hard it must have been. How to Train your Dragon.........well I haven't seen it yet but I hear it is great.

Soooooo that is your movie update Thanks!!! Bye!!!!

Which Twilight Team are you on???????????????????
Team Jacob/Taylor Team Edward/Robert None??????????????????????

JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch this funny video!!!!!!

One of my scariest, and most unforgettable, days began as I overheard my mom talking on the phone with one of her best friends, Terry, but I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to be in the same room. Terry asked if I could come up to her house and play with her daughter, Caitlyn. Mom said yes. I was so excited, Caitlyn is my best friend. 

             When I arrived at Caitlyn's house, she suggested that we play tea party, we were young, and loved tea parties, so I said yes. We changed into our favorite, fancy, princess dresses and went outside to our table (she dressed as Cinderella and I as Belle.) We devoured delicious snacks, sipped apple juice as if it were tea, and had a great time. After tea, Caitlyn and I went walking outside and noticed a strange figure slithering along the patio underneath the grill. It was a.....SNAKE!!! Caitlyn HATES snakes, hates with a capital H, and FREAKS out, freaks with a capital F, whenever she sees one!!! She slowly backed away and sprinted back to the house as fast as her long legs could carry her to tell her mom and dad. Her parents called Animal Control immediately. The authorities arrived, bravely captured, and took the snake away. The catastrophe was averted, well, so we thought. 
    
             A few days after the disheartening sight I was doing my homework, just then the phone rang; it was Caitlyn. She reported to me that one of the family's dogs' Tish was bit by a rattler snake (a baby rattle snake)!!!!! Apparently, Tish was bit in the leg and was taken to a vet. Caitlyn and I were extremely discombobulated and worried sick. Luckily Tish, as old as she was, she lived, but was very limp for a little while. Caitlyn and I talked on the phone for about 1 hour and 32 minutes, a personal record. We talked about everything, Tish, my dog that passed away about three years ago. We also talked about almost everything else. Even though the adventure was bad we had a great time in fact we even planned a shopping expedition!!

          Today Tish is fine, and by fine I mean not limping anymore and Caitlyn and I are now very shrewd of where we have our tea parties even though we are much older. We promised each other that if anything else happened to any of our pets or family members we would help each other get through it no matter how tough it was.

Writing is similar to a puzzle.You have to find the right words to make your piece perfect.
Putting perfect words together for a shopaholic is like finding adorable pair of Coach high heel boots 50% off, even though the chance of that is VERY slim.
Putting perfect words together for a football player is winning the super bowl.
For a soldier it would be winning the war and then going home and seeing your family.
For me Coach shoes 50% off an....and hitting ALL of the keys in a song during piano practice.
I guess my point is........Writing is similar to a puzzle.You have to find the right words to make your piece perfect.

I'm learning to play the piano and read music notes!!!!!!!!!!! My Uncle Billy is teaching me and I used to play an instrument soooooooooooooooooooo I know a littlle bit about reading notes. I also taught myself how to play a song but needed a little bit of help on a few parts. So far it is so much fun!

You'd cry and cry for days

Your friend

Your family member

Your mind turns into a maze

They will never be back

You'll never see them again

You wonder why am I being punished

You become depressed

Every day is slow

You push everyone away

Close ones try to cheer you 

Even though they are saddend too

They are dead

You cry and cry for days

 

I am so excited to see the new Alice In Wonderland movie. Are you? When and if you see it please describe it for others.

Please, write one word that describes me.

The conflict between the dragon and the people of the kingdom was bad because they couldn't talk to the dragon otherwise he would torture them even more. It would be a 10 on the hardness scale. Especially if every one in the kingdom is afraid of the dragon. Though the cobbler's sons were brave enough to battle the fierce dragon one son at a time, the youngest son must have been very frightened, if his eldest brother, the smartest of the whole kingdom, was defeated by the dragon and the middle brother who was the strongest was defeated by the dragon. The youngest son listened to his father's advice and stated a ridicules poem to the dragon and defeated him, unlike his brother. The kingdom was very happy to find that the dragon would never torture them again, and the youngest son was happy because he got the princesses hand in marriage.

Super Bowl is today and I am extremely excited!!! My parents want the Saints and my friend's family, the people whose house we're going to, want the Colts.

Go Colts!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Southpaw" was a very, very, very good short story. Even though it was short the author wrote the plot, conflict and the revision. I totally loved how the author had two kids, a boy and a girl, writing on sticky notes in an argument, over something stupid.

My favorite character was definitely Janet, but not because she is a girl like me, but because the only other character, Richard, was too annoying. He sort of copied Janet after she wrote, "I hope when you go to the dentist he finds 20 cavities!" and then surprise, surprise, wrote to Janet, ''I hope when you go for your check-up you need your tetanus shot!''

In my perspective Richard wasn't being very nice and was being very rude when he wouldn't let Janet play on the "boys'' baseball team just because she is a girl, "As long as I'm team captain no girls will play on the Mapes Street Baseball,'' Richard commented on a sticky note. Janet made a good argument, especially when she told him her batting average. Her average was a whopping .345!! In case you don't know anything about baseball, like me, that is amazing!! Most players average about .250. Until I started researching this report I had no clue what the average baseball average. I wish that, that was my baseball average. Luckily, that has never happened to me, and I'm glad it hasn't, but some of my best friends have been treated that way. My friend Alison wasn't allowed to play soccer with her brother and his friends because she was a girl. In the Holocaust Jews were limited on what they could do, where they could go, who they could see by the Nazis because of Adolf Hitler. Your probably thinking this is stupid it only happens in stories well, you are wrong it happens all the time to a lot of people including boys, girls, collage students, elementary students, women and men. The list goes on and on and on. In my opinion, Janet was rude, but funny when she wrote, "Congratulations on your unbroken record. Eight straight losses, wow!! I understand you're the laughingstock of New Jersey."

I also loved Janet's character because she was very determined in the argument. She won the argument and was able to play baseball with some of her friends on a girls and boys team, not only because of her determination, but also because of the fact that most of the players on the original team moved away, were sick, broke a bone or they were too busy to commit to playing baseball.

On January 31, 2010 I went to Build-a-Bear Workshop!!! I went for my best friend's sister's 10th birthday party. I got a brown bear and named him Christian, after my Great-Uncle. If you would like to add me to your friends list my name is: NicoleDiva513, or you can post your name.

Conflict can be over envy and many other things. I think conflict can sometimes be bad and unreasonable. It can lead to recklessness and former friendships. Conflict can also lead to menacing and destructive human beings. There is also a type of conflict that is good. When you are fighting against someone who is doing something wrong you are trying to get them to do good. So, no conflict is not always bad.

Title of Book: The Diary of a Young Girl
Author: Anne Frank

Summarize the book. What were the main points?
This diary is written by a young girl named Anne Frank. She receives her diary on her 13th birthday and shortly after, with her Jewish family, must move into hiding. During World War II Germans all over Europe were forcing Jews into concentration camps where many Jews were killed or died of hunger and disease. The Frank family included Anne's father, Otto, her mother, Eidith, and her older sister, Margot. Anne's family were joined with another Jewish family, the Van Danns and Drussell, who is a Jewish doctor. While Anne is in hiding, she writes a series of letters describing the two years in the "Secret Annex", an area above her fathers business. Her diary, which I am sure she never expected anyone to read is so honest, she describes her inner most thought and feelings. Anne writes about everything including her hopes about the future, her fears of the Germans and her memories of her life before the war. Anne writes about the people that help her family and bring them items weekly. Throughout the diary Anne changes and matures. In the beginning of the diary she is so critical of everyone and everything and this changes with age. Toward the end, she is capable of seeing others points of views and is less upset with the people she hides with.

What were some of the unique or interesting things you learned from the book?
I learned the lengths to which people risked their lives while hiding Jews during World War II. I didn't even know people did that for the Jews. I hope I am brave enough to step up to a challenge if ever I a am faced with one like that. I also learned how hard Jews lives were shortly before the war. They were excluded from everything, including, public schools, stores, transportation, restaurants, and even riding their bicycles. I couldn't even begin to imagine being excluded from all those things. Another observation about the diary I learned was how similar 13 year olds today and 80 years ago are. Anne liked and disliked so many things just like kids today. She enjoyed reading about movie stars, she would fix her hair like some of them just the same way we do today. Anne wrote about boys she liked and how frustrated she was with her mom. She didn't think anyone understood her. That sounds like a thirteen year old today!!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to a friend because it shows how brave people can be and sympathetic to those who are picked on. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who had a short period of time to read. This book although not very many pages takes longer to read than any other book I have read.

Go to YouTube and type in or click on the link "The Water Cycle Song". Talk about amazingly awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rachel's mother told Rachel she was related to her cousin's mom's brother's mom. Who was Rachel's mom talking about?

Imagine no brothers or sisters a lot of you are probably thinking yes!!! Nobody to annoy me during homework or nobody to criticize my drawing that took me a long time to do Well, by the end of my speech I’m going to persuade you to imagine the opposite You would be thinking I’m lucky to have a sibling like Taylor or I wish I had another brother and sister. I have not 1, not 2, not 3, oh wait I do have 3. Where was I… oh yes I have 3 reasons that will have you imagining the opposite.

 

        First of all older brothers and sisters can help you with homework. There is a better chance that you would get them all correct if you older siblings helped because they just learned it and your parents learned it 25-30 years ago. If you don’t have any brothers or sisters call your older cousin and ask him or her to help you otherwise you’d have to talk to your mom, dad, or you could go on the internet.

 

If you don’t have any siblings you would be bored a lot of the time especially if you can’t play with your friends for whatever reason. For example the other day my friend, who is an only child, was at home. She asked her mom if she could go to a friend’s house, but her mom said no, because she had nothing to do she had to do extra chores.

 

        My third and final reason starts wait for it, wait for… and now. When your parents get older your brothers and sisters can help you make decisions about them. For example your parents are old and feeble, you’re the one taking care of them, and they live in your house. It’s your anniversary, and your husband or wife wants to go on a three week cruise. All the nursing homes are full, what are you going to do. That is where your brothers and sisters come in. If you don’t have any brothers or sisters ask your cousin or somebody you can truly trust and make sure your parents are comfortable with whom they stay with. If you really think about it, it is a very hard decision.

 

        Now let’s go over what I just told you. Reason 1: Older siblings can help you with homework, after all they did just learn it. Reason 2: if you didn’t have any siblings you would be bored a lot of the time. Reason 3; When your parents get older your siblings can help make decisions about them.

 

        True siblings can be annoying but you know you really love them. By a show of hands how many of you thought the opposite. I told you so. Thank you
