Saturday we got up at about nine thirty. We didn’t eat breakfast but we left and I thought we were going to the beach right away but we ended up going to the grocery store instead. Nina’s parents went into the store while the rest of us waited I the car. We waited and waited! It took forever! We were probably waiting for them for two hours. They were getting sandwich makings for lunch and stuff. Then we finally headed to the beach around noon. I was really dumb and didn’t bring any extra clothes so I got soaked and was wet for a long time. It was really cool at the beach because there were rocks on the beach and going out in thoe ocean. The were really big and had these weird squishy things. This man and his two kids were looking at them and he said they were called sea anemones. My dad has always had a fish tank with all sorts of things in it, so that reminded me of my dad because I think he would be really interested in seeing that. Maybe not because it wasn’t like it was a shark or a whale that ended up on the beach. It wasn’t anything huge. But it was interesting to me because I had never seen anything other than sea shells and people really in the ocean. Only in pet stores or on TV. Well after we saw all the anemones Kelsey C. noticed a really big star fish on the side of one of the rocks. I thought that was so awesome! It reminded me of San Diego in Sea World because you get to pet and hold all the little star fishes. But this one was way bigger than the little ones you hold in Sea World, this one that Kelsey C. found was bigger than both my hands put together. It was cool to see. I wanted to find something else on the rocks but we stared walking up towards the van. There were some benches where we parked so we sat down to dry and to eat dinner. Because it was about five o’clock. We had sandwiches. It was about the first real meal we had had except for eating out and eating junk food. Kelsie M. was freezing because she went all the way out in the ocean and didn’t bring any extra clothes. She didn’t even bring a jacket. After we were done eating we got back in there car and drove for about two hours to Hollywood. That was the first time I have been to Hollywood that I can remember. So I wanted to see everything and get lots of souvenirs. We went there to go shopping so I was excited! I love shopping! The first store we went into was basically to use the bathroom. But while the people who had to go went the others looked around the store. I was one that didn’t need to go, so I was looking at some key chains. One that said #1 dad. I thought it would be good to get my father because I had already got my mom a #1 mom key chain at Six Flags, plus he is the #1 dad. But as after I picked it up to ask Emily if I should get it. This guy, I assume it was the owner, started talking real loud at us. He said do you have a key chain to Emily but I guess Emily couldn’t understand him so she was just like “Huh?” but I heard him so I said I picked one up and showed it to him because it was in my hand but he was still looking at Emily and asked her again if she had a key chain and this time she said no. I knew she didn’t. Emily isn’t the type to steal. Well we wanted to leave after that because that guy went and told his wife or sister about it. He was talking in a different language like Chinese or something Asian. And I knew he was saying that we were thieves because the lady started following us around and watching us. I hate when people do that. They don’t do it to older people or grown ups but because we are teenagers they automatically assume we are going to steal. I am sure they have had a lot of teens steal from them but the are discriminating against us because of our age. I think that is just as bad as discriminating against race. It is wrong. I would never steal anything. I think it is stupid and useless. I would never need anything that bad, that I would take it from others. Its dumb. But some people do steal and take things that don’t belong to them, they probably think they aren’t hurting any thing but it hurts people. It has to come out of someone’s pay check. So I think I am trying to do the right thing and not steal so when people look at me or think I am a thief it makes me pretty mad. Well we left that store and only Nina’s mom bought a T-shirt from that place. But she didn’t know that they did that. Well we moved on to the next store and they had some gross T-shirts. They said some nasty things so we left form there really quick. The next store we went into was the Gap and it was mostly for kids but right next door was American Eagle. Kelsie M. was really wanting a jacket but she only had 32 dollars so I gave her six dollars so she could get a jacket because she was shaking from being so cold. And I would want someone to give me six dollars for a jacket if I was that cold. I waned to get something form there but I didn’t see anything I wanted or needed, so we left and started walking done the street just looking at all the stars on the ground. When we saw a wax museum. So we decided to go in there and we got tickets to the wax museum and the genius book of world records across the street for only 8 dollars. So we started in the museum. It was really fun. Most everyone rushed through it but me Rachel and Chelsey stayed and actually looked at everything. We took pictures of a lot too. Of almost everything. Some of them were really good and looked like it was the person and some of them were like “Oh Brother” the looked so fake! But it was still fun. After that we went to the genius museum. That one was fun and creepy. There were some gross things in there. Like the fattest man weighed 1400 pounds and was 9 feet wide. There was the tallest man and the shortest lady. The tallest man was 8′11 and the shortest lady was about a foot. that’s crazy. We were talking about what if those two got together and got married! It was a funny site. It reminded me of my grandparents. My grandpa is taller than 6′5 I am not sure how tall exactly but really tall. And my Grandma is like 5′1. Ha-ha its funny! There was stuff like that in there. It was interesting. We went to another little shop and I got my dad a shot glass and myself a little star snow globe that is black and white just like my room! I was hoping to go shopping more but the van was outside waiting to take us back to the hotel. We were only in Hollywood for about three hours. I would have preferred skipping the beach and going straight to Hollywood. But I still had tons of fun. When we got back to the hotel we were just hanging out and eating some snacks in the other room. But Nina, Chelsey, Emily, and I left soon and went to our bedroom just talking. Some how we started talking about this TV show that we all watch called Degrassi. None of them had seen the newest show so I was telling them about it and we just decided to watch it on Nina’s laptop. It was about half way through and I fell asleep. I was so tired plus we had a long day of driving ahead of us.
Sunday, Nina’s dad was knocking on the door , and I heard it subconsciously but didn’t get up to answer because I was so tired. I finally got up and he asked if we wanted to go get Denny’s. I just moaned. Ha-ha. Then he said oh you guys are still sleeping and I said yes. So he said he would bring us back something to eat so I said okay. But than Jaclyn came to our door asking to use our blow dryer so I said yes because I thought they were going to go with Nina’s dad to get breakfast. Because they were almost all ready. But they didn’t go with him. Everyone in my room finally woke up and started packing. Nina went to the others room real quick and her phone started ringing so I answered it because it was her dad. And he was wondering if we could be ready in a few minutes. I just said I don’t know let me get Nina. So Nina said no because we just got up. So we were all getting ready and Nina’s parents brought us cereal to eat in the hotel. We ate the cereal and checked out of the hotel. We started driving and I was ready to get home! But we stopped at the grocery store again and they were in their even longer this time. I was trying to go back asleep but its really hard with 14 other people in the car. So I was just sitting their. When they finally came back out and I thought okay we are going this is good we only have 7 hours till I am home. We drove for about two hours and took a bathroom break. I went because I thought we would stop for another three hours. Nina’s two year-old little sister peed in her pants so we had to wait for half an hour while they changed her. We ended up stopping an hour later at a circle K to get some snacks for the road. And Nina’s Grandpa bought us all Starbucks because Starbucks was right next to the gas station. It was nice of him. I asked them how long it would be till we were home because I new we had awhile because of all the stops and Nina’s mom said three and a half hours. So I texted my dad and told him when I should be home. And we were just talking and goofing around. But we stopped AGAIN! This time Nina’s little sister had to go poop. Chelsey and I didn’t get out because we didn’t have to go. But everyone else got out. We started driving but stopped twenty minutes later because Nina’s little sister had to go pee again. I asked Nina’s mom how long it would be this time and she said 3 hours. We had only gotten thirty minutes closer in two hours. It was starting to get ridiculous. We had school the next day and it was already five o’clock. We drove for another hour and a half without stopping so I texted my dad that we were running late and I told him we would be home in an hour or so. But then Nina’s other little sister had to go pee. I didn’t mind because at least we were getting closer. It was so funny when she was climbing over the seat to get out she farted so loud! It was right in Chelsey’s face too. We were laughing so hard! I mean it was huge! After we started laughing she just looked at us and asked “What?” like she didn’t know that she hadn’t done anything. That was our last stop until we started dropping people off. I was one of the last people to get dropped off but I was happy! Goodbye California! Hello Arizona! You know I had tons of fun but there is no place like home, no place as comfortable, no place as homey as your own home. I was excited to see my family! I was actually shocked because my sister came running up to me to give me a hug. I would have expected my parents to come downstairs to give me a hug and my sister to come outside her room to say hi but I was surprised that my sister ran to me because she missed me so much. I was happy but than I found out she really just needed my help with Itunes. Well I think she really did miss me but she also needed my help with Itunes. I am happy that I went and had fun but I am happy to be in my house. Love, Tayler!
Six Flags California
Dear diary, October 15, 07
I have been gone all weekend in California with my friends. It has been tons of fun with ups and downs but over all, I had a awesome time!
Thursday my dad took me over to the birthday girl’s (Nina) house around eleven o‘clock. I was second to last arriving but the last girl arrived shortly after I did. We loaded up the car then drove over to Nina’s Grandparent’s house to pick them up because they came with us. But for some reason it was taking a really long time for us to leave. Then we also had to go pick up Nina’s mom from her work and that took a long time. But we finally started driving out of town at about twelve thirty. The drive there was long but fun. It was long because it was loud and I was tired but it was fun because I had 8 of my friends around me with nothing to worry about. We stopped maybe three times. Twice because people had to use the bathroom and once for dinner. I didn’t have to use the bathroom the whole way there because it was a seven hour drive the same amount of time it takes to drive from here to Albuquerque from Mesa. So I am used to it. We drive to Albuquerque about twice a year, every year. So I learned how to hold it for seven hours. We stopped to eat dinner at Burger King. That was the first time I have been there that I can ever remember. So that was a new experience too. We arrived at the hotel at about seven thirty. We were all tired but we stayed up till midnight.
Friday I was super excited because we were going to SIX FLAGS! If you don’t know Six Flags is an awesome theme park, with the best roller coasters, in my opinion. We got there really quick because our hotel was about fifteen minutes away. We got in fast because we were there when it was just opening. Kelsie and Jill were leading the way because they had been there recently, so they led us all the way to a ride called the Tatsu. The Tatsu was a ride where you get in and sit down and buckle in. After everyone is in right the floor sinks and you get lifted up so that you are laying on your stomach. The whole ride you are looking straight down because your practically laying down. I was on the end and I was looking up to see where we were going and it looked like I was going to run into a pole that was part of the roller coaster. I was like oh my goodness but I didn’t run into it so that was good. The Tatsu was my favorite ride because I have never been on a ride like that and it was exciting. Right next to Tatsu is a ride called Déjà Vu. I dint like this ride because you get on it and it takes you backwards first then hangs you there. It wasn’t scary but when I was hanging there I had a lot of room to move around so I was scared that it wasn’t pushed all the way down or it was coming undone. But afterwards I found out it did that to everyone. Well after it hung you there for a while it shoots you back down then you pass where you got on and go forward and it hangs you there, so that’s why it is called Déjà Vu. Just wasn’t a good ride. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t good. I also got a headache from it. Not a bad headache just a little one. We decided to have lunch, but I wasn’t hungry because we had just eaten Mcdonalds two hours ago. They had a fruit cup for breakfast so they were hungry, but I had a sausage mcmuffin so I wasn’t hungry. So I didn’t eat lunch. Well then we were going to another roller coaster but we saw that the Log Jammer was running so we went on the Log Jammer. The Log Jammer is like the log ride at Disneyland. I went on it with Emily and Chelsey the first time and we hardly got wet. But we decided to go on it a second time but this time I went with Chelsey and Rachel and we got this boat that had about three inches of water in it already. So we knew that we were going to get soaked this time. We were doing fine until we went done the first big drop we got sprayed right on the face and our feet were went from the water in the boat. When we hit the bottom of the first big drop we almost tipped! Well I don’t think we really almost tipped but it felt like it. We were on our sides and our heads were right by the water. Everyone wanted to go a third time so we got back in line and this lady asked me how I got so wet I just said I was in a bad boat. Than Chelsey said “Don’t you know that girl with the white shirt on?” I was thinking how could I know anyone here? It would have to be a super small world for me to run into someone I know in a different state. But I looked at her and said “Sara?” and sure enough she turned around. Sara was a girl I sat next to in band last year but she moved so I hadn’t seen her since the last day of school. I was so excited to see her and shocked! She was there with her church. Almost everyone at my school goes to the same church and they take a trip there every year I guess. But I also saw some other people I know that go to that church but I didn’t realize Sara went to that church also. I thought I had recognized the lady who asked me how I got so wet because it was Sara’s mother! So I was wrong it is a small world, very small world! Thanks to Chelsey I got to see her! Well Chlesey, Rachel, and I went on the Log Jammer ride for the third time. Nina, Jaclyn, and Kelsey C. were right after us getting on. We got the same boat that we did the second time so after the third ride Chelsey, Rachel, and I were soaked. But Nina, Jaclyn, and Kelsey C. were barley wet. I was so happy that I saw Sara that I didn’t notice Kelsie M., Jill, and Emily had not gone a third time. So Nina, Jaclyn, and Kelsey C. wanted to go again so Rachel Chelsey and I waited right where you get off for them. We were there for about fifteen minutes when I decided to check my phone for any messages and I found out Kelsie M. had called me and left a voicemail that said they had left to go ride some roller coasters and to call them when we were done so we can get back together. So we went to go get Nina and them so we could go catch up with them but they wanted to keep riding the Log Jammer because they weren’t even wet yet. So Chels, Rachel and I called Kelsie M. to find out where they were so we could go ride the Batman ride together. So we met over there and rode Batman. It wasn’t scary at all. It was like a regular roller coaster, nothing special. Except your hanging there and you go upside down but it wasn’t as fast as the others. So it wasn’t scary. I still wasn’t hungry and my headache got worst. We went on SCREAM after Batman! Scream was one of my favorites too! That one had a lot of turns and was fun and smooth. It made me scream so that was awesome! But my head was pounding! We kept trying to get a hold of Nina, Jaclyn, and Kelsey C. but they weren’t picking up. We wanted to save the best ride so that we could ride it all together. The best ride is the Goliath. We all met right in front of Gotham city. So we went and rode the Colossus. I will tell you right now that ride is terrible! If you ever go to California and decide to ride the Colossus, DON’T! It is the jerkiest ride I have ever been on. The Colossus is a ride were you can pick whether you want to go frontward or backward. I wanted to go frontward because I had a terrible headache but everyone else wanted to go backward so I went backward and it was a nightmare. It was jerky and had a tiny little bar holding you in. I was getting thrown around like a rag doll. I was so sick! But then everyone wanted to get on Goliath right away so I went with them because Nina’s parents said no one can be alone. And I didn’t want to be alone because I didn’t want to miss them getting off the ride and walk around like a loner through Six Flags until I find them. So stupid me I went on it with everyone even though I felt like throwing up! We got on the ride and I felt okay because at least I was sitting down. I was fine on the ride because the wind was in my hair and I was sitting down. I felt so fine that I had my hands up in the hair. I felt like I was going to be okay. But as soon as the ride stopped I knew I was going to throw up! I was trying to hurry everybody up because I wanted to go to the bathroom but all of a sudden everything came up! I ran over to the side of the railing and picked myself up and threw up over the edge. I was terrified. I couldn’t believe that had just happened! Usually when I think I am going to throw up I never do. So I seriously thought I would never throw up because I haven’t for like a two or three years. But it really did happen. I was frozen for a second. It smelt so bad! I put myself down and everyone was looking at me. I had throw up all over me. On my mouth and my hands. I didn’t even know my shirt was covered with it until we had walked all the way to the bottom. I pulled my shirt off right away because thankfully I had a undershirt on. I went to the bathroom and rinsed out my mouth and washed my hands and face. I threw my shirt away too because I didn’t want to carry around that nasty, disgusting smelly shirt around for the rest of the time. I really liked that shirt too. I was so embarrassed and cold. It is a lot colder there than it is here. But my jacket was in a locker me and Chelsey were sharing so we didn’t have to carry around our purses so I was really cold for a long time until I decided to go and get my jacket. I didn’t want to ride anymore rides because I was afraid I would throw up again. And since Chelsey is such an awesome she said she wouldn’t ride anymore rides with me. I felt bad because I didn’t want to ruin her fun but I was going to try and make her have as much fun as possible. Before I got my jacket we tried to eat dinner so I got a sandwich but as soon as I started eating it I felt was really terrible again. I only ate half of the sandwich which means I didn’t have anything to eat for lunch and I only had half a sandwich for lunch. Plus I threw up all of my breakfast. So I was pretty hungry but I couldn’t eat because I would just throw it up! We went to a part of Six Flags called Gotham City, it was Fright Fest so we went to Gotham City right when it was starting to get dark because people dress up really really scary and jump out at you behind things and they sneak up behind you and yell in your ear. I thought it was funny but I didn’t like it because everyone would yell and scream even if it wasn’t really scary. There was this guy that had his hand tucked in his sleeves with a rope hanging off his arm and he would go around swinging it at people. And there were people sliding on their hands towards people. They would shoot out sparks when they slid on their hands too. One guy was giving out insults like I asked him “What happened to your hands?” like where did they go because they were in his shirt. He was the one with the rope instead of a hand. He said “What happened to your face?” I just said “I know, I know angels have touched it!” he just walked away after he realized he wasn’t scaring me anymore. They all had lots of make-up on which is weird because they were all guys. And they had more make-up on then me and all my friends have ever had on out faces out together. It was crazy! I bet they have a lot of zits right now. I feel bad for them because some teenagers can be really mean to them. And mostly teens go because it is more fun to get scared and scream with friends than your family. But I have high hopes that me and my family go to Six Flags soon because my mom loves roller coasters and so do I so we will have lots of fun on all the many roller coasters there. Fright Fest was fun they had lots of smoke and fog around. But we left because some people didn’t like to be scared and we walked around for awhile until everybody wanted to ride the Batman but me, Rachel, Kelsey, and Chelsey didn’t want to rid eit so we went to go look around and shop a little bit. We ended up getting massages. It felt really nice. We lied on this bed filled with water, like a water bed, but it pushes water up really fast to give you a massage all over your body and I put my feet up so my feet were getting the best massage on my feet because my feet were killing me. They felt better until I started walking again. I didn’t but anything until the end when we were leaving. I got my family some souvenirs too. I got my sister a ring but I felt bad because it didn’t fit her finger but she can put it on a necklace. I got my dad a shot glass form Hollywood, I liked the picture on it. It was really cool. I also got my mom a key chain for her car keys. Her key chain says # 1 mom and blinks back and forth. I like it and she put on and I was happy to see it on there. I hope they all liked their gifts. We all left the park and went back to the hotel. I took a long hot shower as soon as we got there because I needed it! It felt good too. Well that was my day at Six Flags California. I had a lot of fun there. Except for the throwing up part.
Since this is such a long story of saying what I did in California with all my friends I need to split it up in two parts. So to be continued…
busy weekend/ three more days!
Dear diary, October 7, 07
Thursday I had a band concert. I play the clarinet in the advanced band at my school and we just had our first concert. It went really well! I was super happy but surprised because it didn’t seem like we had practiced our songs that much. The concert lasted a long time because my band teacher just keeps talking to the audience. Even my parents say he just needs to shut up and let us play so we don’t have to be there all night. I agree because it is a school night and the students have other things to do like homework! I hate when teachers think they can keep you from leaving and being somewhere when you need to be. My 6th hour teacher does that. She says the bell does not release us, she does. So she keeps us like two minutes after the bell. Well anyway he talks a lot and nobody even cares what he is saying. It went well but it lasted a long time.
Friday I had to go play with my band at a football game. It was fun! There was three bands there. Ours, another junior high band and the high school marching band. We played, talked and heard other bands play. Plus we got to watch the game. But after the game it wasn’t fun at all! My mom called me on my sisters new phone. But I was in the middle of playing a song so I couldn’t hear them. So I yelled in to the phone TEXT ME! So that I would know what she needed. So I hung up but she called back. I tried to tell her to text me again but this time she hung up on me. Then I texted them in case they didn’t hear and I told them we were still playing and for them to text me because I couldn’t hear. But they kept calling and my mom could finally hear so I said I am coming out to the car because she was there to pick me up. I went to tell my teacher that I was leaving because he asked us to so he knows who has left and who hasn’t. I couldn’t find him anywhere and my mom came up to the stadium all mad for waiting. She was giving me the dirtiest look and didn’t say a word to me. I kept trying to tell her that I was trying to find my teacher to tell him I was leaving but she just furiously walked away. I thought that she was in a grumpy mood because that morning my dad was running late so asked her to take me to school so that I wouldn’t be late. But when she was driving me to school she didn’t talk to me the whole way there just like at the football game. I was mad at her because I didn’t ask her to bring me to school my dad did. And she acted like it was going to kill her to spend ten minutes with me in the morning. I think that she was truly mad because she wanted to sleep in but she had to wake up for twenty minutes and then go right back to sleep after she got home. But later in the car I tried apologizing again but she said she was really mad at my teacher because we weren’t done when he said we would be. But when you have over 200 band students and three other school bands it is hard to be done exactly when he said and we were just finishing up. Not that I am defending him because I don’t like that he drags things out like he does, but I think everyone would be running late if they went to that game. It was hectic. And my mom was furious at my sister because my sister was trying to tell her how her phone worked and I guess my sister yelled at my mom. Now I am not taking my sisters side because I don’t agree that you should yell at your parents but sometimes my mom doesn’t listen to what you are saying, and I have yelled at her once for not listening to me and just interrupting me. But I felt bad right after it but that is your first instinct. Is to yell. So it was a good night but it turned into a bad night but it got better, I guess.
Saturday I was invited to my friend Kristen’s birthday party and I was going to go but she is an eighth grader so I wasn’t sure if I knew anyone who was going and I didn’t want to be a loner so I decided not to go. Instead I went to a wedding at my friend Nina’s house. It was really pretty. There was white everywhere with white flowers, it was literally a WHITE WEDDING! She has white pillars in her backyard and they went beautifully with the theme. Nina also invited Kelsie, Chelsey, and Jaclyn so I wasn’t the only one there. It was really funny because I saw mine and Nina’s bus driver at the wedding. Ha-ha. I was like hey isn’t that our bus driver! I wonder who she knew at the wedding. Because the lady who was getting married at Nina’s house was Nina’s aunt. So I wonder if our bus driver is related to the bride and is someway related to Nina. That would be interesting because Nina sees her everyday and doesn’t even know if she is her great aunt or something. They also hired a DJ so we were dancing on the basketball court in Nina’s backyard. And we went walking around her neighborhood and they had lime trees all over her block so Kelsie picked one and peeled it and poured the juice out and I thought it was going to be sour but it was actually sweet and really good. So I picked some and even brought some home with me. I tried some of the wedding cake but it was really gross and dry. My dad told me that the wedding cakes are usually like that after I told him how it tasted. It was a lot of fun and I am glad I went to that wedding, I haven’t been to a wedding since I was like 6. So yeah. It was nice! And it was my parents anniversary. They have been married for seventeen years! Dang, that’s a lot of years! Nina’s aunt and her new husband are going to have the same anniversary as my parents. Ha-ha.
Today my Nana is picking me up at one o’clock and we are going to hang out at her house and then my family and my Nana are going out to eat at this super fancy restaurant! For my parents anniversary. I mean this place is super FANCY! I thought this other place we went to for my mother’s birthday was fancy. It was called the Melting Pot, and it was expensive. But I asked my parents if it was like the Melting Pot and they said it is fifty time fancier then that. My dad THREE THOUSAND dollar meal! I don’t know if I believe that because he might have been over exaggerating because what a waste of money and I know it is for their anniversary but that’s insane! But it better be good food!
I am getting super excited for California! I am even going to start packing today. Only three more days and the quarter is going to be over and I am going to be in California with my best friends! What could be better? Its going to be great! Three more days! Three more days!
Love,
Tayler!
California! California! California!
Dear diary, October 3, 07
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! My best friend Nina is having the best birthday party, you could ever imagine. She invited 7 people. This is what her party is going to be. Next Thursday we will all get in the car and drive to CALIFORNIA!!!!!!! Can you believe that! We are going to drive to Valencia, California on Thursday then on Friday we are going to go to Six Flags, Saturday we are going to the beach or the mall, and on Sunday we come home! It is going to be so much fun! Four days to spend with all my friends! What could be better? I haven’t been to Six Flags in a long time, and I have only been there once. She invited Kelsie, Kelsey, Chelsey, Emily, Jaclyn, and Rachel. And me of course. Well all that sounds good I am friends with all of them except Kelsey. I have never talked to her before but I sit with her and Nina and everyone that was invited, at lunch. But she seems nice and shy. So I guess I should get to know her better. I am just going to take so many pictures it is going to be unbelievable. I have never been out of state with any of my friends. So this is going to be a great experience for me. Wow I am so excited! What I great way to end the quarter.
Yes, it is already the end of the quarter. It is amazing. This year is flying by. It still seems like the third week of school. So that’s why we are going next Thursday because we have Thursday and Friday off because of the end of the quarter and October break.
Well that’s all I really had to say! I cant wait till next week!
Love,
Tayler!

I show the people around me that I respect them with all of my actions. The people closest to me respect me by adhering to my strong morals. Education makes my life happy and full. I try my very best by giving my utmost in every class and give of myself to others by participating.

I value my family. I SHOW them that I care about them by being thankful for their time and presence. I let them know that they can trust me, by listening to them talk and excepting the real them including their flaws.
I value laughter. I think laughter is the second best thing you can have in life other than friends or family. I SHOW others that I value laughter by laughing and hanging out with and talking to people that make me smile and make me happy.
I value respecting my elders. I believe not only me but everyone should respect our elders because the longer they are around the wiser they are. I SHOW my elders as I try to be nice and considerate to them and maybe they could teach me and thing or two.
I value a good education. I SHOW myself by trying my very best in school and participate in class.
I SHOW myself by presenting all that I value.

These are two mission statements that I wrote for my English class. I figured I wrote them anyway I might as well put it on my site. Well my dad helped me a lot. I wrote the one of them by myself but I didn’t really like it so he helped me turn it into a paragraph and gave it better vocabulary.
Love,
Tayler!
