My favorite season is spring. I like spring because the weather isn’t too hot or too cold.  Another reason I like spring is because my birthday is in the spring.  When spring comes it means flowers blooming and it means that summer is near which is one of my other favorite seasons.  I also like spring because it means school is almost out.  When spring comes it means Easter is here and I like Easter because it means I get candy.  Spring brings rain and sunny days and that’s what I like about spring. Spring isn’t like other seasons it doesn’t just stay cold or stay hot it has a little of both.  Every time spring comes around I wish it would stay longer and not just a couple of months.  I really like spring and I’m glad my birthday is during spring time.  I wish spring would never end but if it didn’t we would never get out of school.

The car I would like when I grow up is a Volkswagen Beetle.  The reason I want that car is because they are small and not too expensive.  Also, I want it because I like how they look and they come in all different colors or styles. The color I want is a pinkish color because it shows that I'm kinda a girly girl and when people see the car they will automatically know that it's me. Another reason is you don't see many pink Beetles around.  I also want it to be convertible.  The Beetle is my favorite car because it's different from other cars in shape and it shows that I don't want to be like everyone else.  That's the car I want when I grow up and I want it to be my first car.

I want my car to look like this:

I think STAAR testing can be good and bad.  It can be good because it challenges us to think harder and the work throughout the year makes us also think harder and we actually remember most of the stuff we learn.  It can be bad because I don’t think a test should determine if you pass or fail.  The reason I think this is because if you’re having a bad day you might not be feeling like taking a test and you decide to just guess and not think on the questions.  Also we only have four hours to complete a difficult test and that makes us want to rush through it so we can finish on time and that isn’t a good idea but we feel pressure and just rush.  The STAAR test isn’t the best thing in the world, but we do need to take it because it’s the state law.  I never really liked taking a test, but if it’s going to determine if I pass or not I’m going to try my best to learn everything I need to learn.  Everyone has their own opinion and this is mine. I don’t think it’s all that bad, because without the STAAR test we wouldn’t learn  as much or use our brain as  much. 

 
Going to public school can be better than being home schooled.  That’s my opinion, being home schooled can be good because you get to stay home and your teacher is a family member and if you’re having a hard time on something you can ask them anytime.  Public school isn’t bad either you get a privilege to meet new people and make friends. You can also participate in school activities with your friends. Many people have a different opinion of the two, but I think public school is better, because I wouldn’t like to be stuck at home all day with one of my family members. I rather be at school, because I get to talk with my friends and I have some classes with them, so that’s always fun. The only bad thing about public school is when you need help there might not be someone that understands and can help you. Home schooled kids can just ask their family member for help and they’ll understand because they gave them the assignment.  It’s always good to meet new people and socialize with them and getting to participate on a team and support your school. Everyone has their own opinion and this is my opinion about being home schooled and going to public school. Both of them have their ups and downs and some people think one is better than the other for their own opinions.

What I want for Christmas is a couple of L.A. Idol or Miss Me jeans, clothes from Justice, a pair of new boots, maybe some new shoes, new things for my room, a new coat and the one thing that I hope I do get is that I can be with my dad for the holidays.  I usually don't get to see him so a great present would be having him home for the holidays or getting to visit him.  I also want some other things, but I mostly want these things and I hope I get them.  The other things I want for Christmas is a puppy, maybe a tablet or Ipod, a new bed spread, some hair bows that I saw at a store, a dress I saw at the mall, some new furniture for my room (because the one I have is old), the Iphone 5 or Ipod 5.  These are all the things I want for Christmas, but probably won't get.

Dogs are my favorite pet to have. I especially love puppies or dogs that have lots of fur.  I love dogs more than anything and if I could I would help save every dog that doesn't have a caring, loving homes.  I love all dogs from huskies to pit-bulls, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, schnauzers, terriers, bulldogs, the only kind I probably wouldn't want to have as a pet is a poodle.
    Dogs are one of the most common pets.  They are known to be loyal to their owners.  People with dogs as pets exercise more than people with a cat or non-owner.  Dogs are considered one of the best pets to have they can protect your home and can also serve as pets.  Dogs come in all sizes to fit the owner a younger child might like a chihuahua better than a pit-bull, an adult that wants to have something protecting their home would probably prefer a pit-bull or boxer any kind of big dog that is known to be a good watchdog.

The city of Mt. Vernon is a great place to live. It is not very big and it's not too small either.  Well that's my opinion, many people don't like to live in Mt. Vernon because they say it's too small or something around there. Mt. Vernon is a great town everyone is nice to everyone, the schools give a great education. Mt. Vernon is very supportive of their team, the Mount Vernon Tigers. We support them in every sport, football, basketball, track, cross country, volleyball, baseball, softball, and any other sport. Everyone knows almost everyone. Mount Vernon is a great town filled with friendly people. We all have our own opinions about Mt. Vernon, but that's my opinion and I hope everyone also thinks that Mt. Vernon is a great place.

The cafeteria food can sometimes taste good, bad, or really bad.  Most kids prefer not to eat the cafeteria food and others will eat it no matter how nasty it taste.  Some people buy their food which they say taste better than what they are giving for free even though it's still the same cafeteria food.  My opinion about the cafeteria food is that it can taste good some days and other days well not really.  The school food isn't all bad but it isn't good either, some people eat it even though they don't like it because they are hungry and don't have anything else to eat.  School cafeterias also can't serve us what we want when we want it because they have to follow the food regulation.  This includes having to give us nutritional foods, fruit, healthy drinks such as water, juice, or milk.  They are not allowed to give us soda to drink unless we bring it or buy it and the food can not be more than 28 grams of fat.  The schools are allowed to have vending machines but no purchases can be made during school hours to keep people from eating during class and because mostly it's the law.  Schools also can't deep fat fry food.  The food items that have trans fat have been reduced to keep foods from being unhealthy.  That sort of explains why school cafeteria isn't good because if they could I bet they would stop serving us healthy they would serve us whatever we want which would probably be unhealthy.  The school cafeteria food can sometimes be good, bad, or ugly.

Best friends are people you can depend on. A best friend is someone everyone needs. A best friend is someone that shares the strongest type of friendship.  BEst Friends are really special people.  You can always count on them to be there for you, when your sad and need someone to talk to, when your going through tough times, someone you know you can tell your secrets to, someone thats not ashamed to call you their best friend too.  A best friend will do all these things and more.  A best friend isn't just someone you can hang out with when your bored. There someone that you think of as part of your family.  You don't envy a friend, even if they have something you don't because the only people that should feel anything are people that don't have a strong connection with someone like you do with your best friend.  that still doesn't mean you won't have your ups and downs but if they are truly your best friend they will forgive you no matter how bad you messed up and you will forgive them no matter how bad they messed up because if you are truly friends you will want to keep it like that.  A best friend will also be there when you need them the most they will make sure they don't have plans so they can be with you and help you through anything.  they are a shoulder to cry on. Someone that makes your day a million times better by just being there. someone you make inside jokes with, knows what your thinking by just looking at you, someone that makes up crazy, weird nicknames for you,  someone you can be yourself with, understands you, and not afraid to be seen with you in public doing embarrassing things. Having a best friend is a great thing, so if you have a best friend make sure to appreciate them because some people go through life without a best friend.
