Author’s Note: Many people move multiple times in their childhood. Not me. Moving has never really been something my family has ever talked about or considered. Maybe I will move someday, but I am am undecided about my feelings on moving. There are many pros and cons of moving.

I have lived in Pewaukee for my entire life. Many people move two or even more times in their lifetime, but not me. I don’t know if it’s just that we don’t have the money to move or if it’s the fact that my parents really like where we live and our house we live in. Either way I’ve never moved houses or cities.

Sometimes I think to myself that it’s a good thing that I’ve never moved or switched schools, that this way is easier, because I don’t have to meet new friends and leave old friends behind and go to a different school. I think about how much some people wish that they could just stay in one place and how much they would give to be like me.

    Other times I think that I wish I could move just once. Maybe I’d have a different life wherever I would move to. Who knows, I could be the best person on the basketball team or the volleyball team. Without change I feel like I’m tied down to only thinking of how things are now, not comparing life in different places I’ve been.
    Someday I want to travel around the US and find a place where I feel like I fit in. Maybe that will bring me back to Pewaukee or maybe that will take me across the US. I feel like I will never know my options till I try and see what It’s like to live in someplace other than Pewaukee.

Thrill Rides

Author’s Note: Screaming, yelling sometimes even crying are all things that you will hear when you visit the most amazing amusement park in Chicago. This amusement park is called Six Flags Great America. This is one of the most fun Amusement Parks I’ve ever been to.

I remember my first time at Six Flags. The first ride I went on was Demon, it scared me so much that I didn’t go on any scary rides there for the rest of the day. The second time I went to Six Flags was with my friend and the first ride that she wanted to go on was superman. The entire time I was standing in line I was so scared. I kept seeing people zoom by screaming their heads off. While I was on the ride I screamed so much and I kept my eyes squeezed shut for the entire ride. After my friend and I got off the ride I felt like I could ride and do almost anything. So I did. That day we rode as many rides as we could and when we were at the water park on top of a slide we saw a bunch of rides that were broken down. After the water park we went back to ride Superman one last time before we went home. While we were in line Superman broke down but we still went on it and it was a lot of fun. That day was one of the most fun days of my summer.

Mother's Day

Author’s Note: Since mother’s day is near I am writing about my mother’s day plans. Also I am writing about my mom and what she does for me. I wrote the poem about my mom and how much I appreciate her.
Mother’s day is a big day for my family. It’s a time where we spend the entire day with family. We start by going to church with my grandma. Next is when we go to brunch with my dad’s side of the family. I love going for brunch because it’s not just any brunch it’s a brunch buffet. We always eat as much as we can. Once my sister ate so  much she didn’t eat for the next twenty-four hours. After brunch we go to have pizza for dinner at my grandma’s house with my mom’s side of the family. Mother’s day is always a busy day for my family.

She always helps me out
Someone I could never do without

If I have problems that she can see
She will never leave me

\When help is all I need
She’s there for me indeed

Music

Author’s Note: I wrote about a song that I really liked and that gave a strong message comparing movies to reality. I think that this song gives off a really good vibe and it’s something that I think people listen to when they want to think.

The song If This Was A Movie, by Taylor Swift tells a story. The story is talking about thinking back to a relationship that ended badly and she isn’t over it yet. Then she starts talking about how if this was a movie he would come back. She says how if this was a movie he would be outside her door waiting for her in the rain. Then she says that if he would just apologize they could go back to the way things were before they had that fight.The song if this was a movie makes you think about the lyrics and what she was trying to say through the song.
