Seventeenth Summer

  I read Seventeenth Summer this year.  It was so good.  One of the most vivid scenes I remember is very interesting.  There is this girl, who is now with this boy because he liked her.  However he is from the "cooler" group and they hang out.  They live in the North near a lake and visit there often.  That was the gist of it now for the real scene.

"Are you sure this is ok?"  Annie said to Jack, questioning him.
"Yeah it wail be fun!"  Jack replied.

  Annie and Jack were hanging out for a while now.  They were going on a boat ride and Jack's friend would control the boat.  She was very reluctant to go because of the dark sky and that his friend had to be there to.

After I stepped on the boat and we took off from shore, it was ok.  After getting over my worries I noticed the beautiful night sky.

"Are you cold?" Jack eagerly asked Annie.
"I am a little chilly."  She said.

Jack gave Annie his sweater from basketball.

"Thanks!"  Annie told Jack.
"No problem."

"Aren't we getting a little far out from shore?" Annie asked.
"We are ok, I come out here all of the time!  Especially near the lighthouse right over there!"  Jack replied.

The End.

Great Experience

  The writing center is a great place with the ideal learning environment.  My experience with the writing center was a excellent one.  I meet a new friend, I enjoyed working on my paper with them, which just added to my opinion to the writing center.  I really like Mrs. Spaht, who is also my study hall teacher.  All, adding up to my great experience in the writing center.

  All of the things I mentioned were great, however the best part of the writing center is that I got my paper done in the most fun way possible.  I liked, the people, the atmosphere, got the assignment done for english, and got the requirement of one visit to the writing center done.  Many people are probably at first not fond of the writing center, because they think "oh I need help" but it is really a great place.  There is probably no other school you can get the one on one student help, which is really worth it.  Overall the writing center is a wonderful place and I recommend any one to visit.


Best Part of my Day!

  There are many things that I love and strive for to see in my life.  I really enjoy seeing and talking to my parents.  I only like this if it is a good conversation and or in a good mood.  Not when they are in "one of those days mood," however I am glad to help.  I also enjoy the day in class when it is a laid back class, today in English we had a day like that, which made my day.  Another factor that makes my day is when you have cookies at lunch, I really like sweet treats so that just adds to my day.  Those are just a few of the things that I enjoy in my day.

  Another thing, I really like the day when you are with your best friend the whole day.  It makes you feel special, and double win, you bond.  My absolute favorite thing that makes my day is when you have a great meal at lunch and there is no drama that you are involved in.  One of my favorite meals at lunch is when we have papa johns pizza, canes, and eggplant parmesan, yum.  Those days are truly the best days.    Fortunately, a lot of things make my day, therefore I have a lot of good days!
