Make A Wish Foundation

If I had $100,000 to donate somewhere, I would donate to the Make A Wish Foundation. I would donate there because I want to help children make their wishes come true. The Make A Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization, and their only goal is to help children. These kids need help, and I would be privileged to help them.  This foundation is a great way to do that.

Cherry limes

If cows did not produce milk, I would want them to produce cherry limeades.  I do not like to drink very many things, but I do love a good cherry limeade. I do not know how the cow would get the little wedge of lime in it, but somehow it would happen. Actually thinking about it, it's OK not to have the wedge of lime, even though I do like the little lime. I do not know where we could get milk since the cow would not produce it, but it would be worth it to have cherry limes.

Improvements

There are a lot of improvements that could be made to our school. One improvement that I would love is some kind of coffee shop! When we went to Randall for basketball they had a coffee shop in their cafeteria! This is a great idea because us kids stay up late sometimes, and when we get tired we could just go get some coffee. This is a great idea because we could stay up and focused in class. Plus, Mrs. Waters would love it! Since she is our favorite teacher we should do something to reward her.

Anger

I had to ask my mom the last time I was truly mad. She said the last time I was mad was when we were on our way to Amarillo. I hate when people respond to mass massages that I am apart of. I mean really, take the time and start your own message. Well I was getting so many responses to this message that I did not care about. I was getting so angry I nearly threw my phone out of the window. Yes, I did over react, but my anger was justified. It was justified because people should not respond to mass messages.

Be thankful!

This past weekend I have realized that you really do not know what you have until it is gone. It is sad to think of all the things we take advantage of because we think they will be here forever. This weekend I found out things can be taken away in a flash and before you are ready.

#1- I am thankful for the time I had with my Papa. I had 16 years with him, and the rest of the grandchildren did not.
#2- I am thankful for love and support. Sometimes you just need people to be there for you during times like this.
#3- I am thankful for my family. They are there in the good times and the bad, and will love you no matter what.
#4- I am thankful for my friends. They have been there for me through all of this.

#5- I am thankful for Jesus. He provided us a way out. He sacrificed himself so that we could live eternally when we die physically here on this Earth. 

SOS

If I was stranded on an island I would bring my dad. He knows a lot about the wild, and could probably help us survive. I would also take him because I am his little angel, his favorite daughter, and he could not live life without me! I would take a compass and the bible with me. The compass to guide me physically, but the bible to guide me spiritually. There is no need to bring a weapon because we could make those, or we could just eat plants. I also see people saying that they are going to bring their phone to use as a GPS, but little do they know the phone will be roaming. Therefor it will die fast, and there are no outlets on trees contrary to teens beliefs today.

Zany

The daughter got in trouble for getting fresh with her parents. In other words she was talking back and being snotty. I guess that the punishment she got was appropriate. They took away her phone, and I think that would of been the real punishment for me. The photos were just and added bonus punishment. I think that it was fine for the parents to post the pictures if they wanted. They are her parents they can punish her this way if they want to. My parents could do this to me, but I do not think it would be that big of a deal. Honestly, if I had photos like that of my parents, I would probably post them anyway to make them look retarded.

Hidden Talents

Talent:Noun  a talent is a group of aptitudes useful for some activity, talents may refer to aptitudes themselves 
My hidden talent is one that some may not consider to be a talent. If you are a girl you will understand that this is a talent. Some girls just can not do it. This summer I beat my own personal record of how fast I can get completely ready. I took a shower, shaved my legs, washed my hair, did my make-up, and got dressed in 23 minutes. I mean really, who can get ready that quick? I was shocked myself!

Trick-or-Treat

I agree with the middle-grounders. There is no reason for teens not able to trick-or-treat if they are doing it for the right reason. If they are just going around and having fun there is no harm in it. On the other hand if the teens are being rough and rude to the other people they should be out. If they are running around and taking to much candy, or not being nice to the other kids they should not be allowed to do trick-or-treat.As long as everyone gets along and is respectful there is no reason that everyone should not be able to have fun.

Elementary

Elementary, the best years, were made up of many memories. A specific memory that I remember happened when I was in Mrs. Covey's third grade class. Everyone remembers reading books to get AR points. Well, I wanted to be the first one to get my 200 points. Meanwhile Samm Reeves decided that he was going to read a Harry Potter book at home with no one knowing. That day, he tested over the Harry Potter book and got his 200 points. Needless to say I was very upset he got them before me. I was sitting by Chloe on Mrs. Covey's blue swing chair crying that he beat me. Well, Chloe goes and tells Mrs. Covey Samm made me cry. So Mrs. Covey made Samm apologize even though she had no idea what had happened. Mrs. Covey pretty much loved me.

My Three Pet Peeves

Pet Peeves- N. The things that people do that annoy you like no other.

1. My first pet peeve is when people look over my shoulder at my computer screen or my phone. If I wanted you to see I would invite you to look at it. It is not that I have anything to hide, but it just bothers me when people look at my things.

2.Another thing that annoys me is when people refer to themselves in third person. You are you! There is no need to refer to yourself using your own name. Use I and we it is that way in the English language for a reason.

3.Lastly, I hate it when people are always late. I think this bothers me so much because my mother is always running late, or makes me run late.

Where am I?

I did not know I was doing anything wrong that night. It was dark and I had no idea where I was crawling. Suddenly I was stuck inside something and I could not find a way out. All of a sudden, the think I was stuck in began to move. This made me even more nervous, but I stayed calm because I thought it was going to get me out of there. What do I know anyway. I was stuck inside there forever! I did not think I was ever going to get out. Finally, on the best day of my life, this thing finally got me out of that horrible place. The way it got me out was not very kind or gentle. I felt like I was going to drowned, but it was all worth it when I got to go back to my web.

Mom's life lesson

I have learned many lessons during my 41 years, but one important lesson I learned, is that you can't live your life for someone else. You cannot base your life decisions on what will make someone else happy. When you try to live your life to please other people you are going to have a hard time staying motivated and you will ultimately end up unhappy.

Life Lesson

A life lesson that I think is very good is the lesson of STOP WISHING, START DOING. I learned this while in athletics. You can not wish for a perfect record. You can not wish to be the best at something if you don't work for it. If you just wish for things they may never happen. You have got to go out and work for it. If you really want it you will work for it, not just wish for it. This is not always so wasy to learn. It does not happen in one day. You have to practice it, and learn how to work at something. I think this is a lesson that can be learned at any age. It really is not too hard when you think about it. So work hard, and believe in yourself. You will do things that you never thought you could!

Poor and Beautiful

If I had to choose between being poor and beautiful, or rich and ugly I would choose to be poor and beautiful. It's not because I want to be pretty on the outside. It is because I would want to be pretty on the inside. Some people that are rich are very ugly on the inside, and they have friends that just like them for their money. I would rather be poor and have true friends and a genuine heart, than have fake friends and never be happy. Money can not buy happiness.

One Week Down!!!

The first week of school was not all that interesting. It kind of seemed like we never left. Compared to last year I was not nervous at all. I was very tired at the end of the week. It was very busy. My schedule consist of getting out of athletics at 5:30. Mondays and Thursdays I have cheer leading at 6:30, Tuesday at 6:00 band, Wednesday church at 5:45, and Friday football games. This is going to be a busy year. I do not know if I am going to like Chemistry, but it could turn out to be fun. BIM is not all that fun either, but at least it is easy. All of the other classes were OK. I do not know what my favorite class is going to be. I guess time will tell. I looked forward to Friday all week because I was ready to cheer at the football game. We had a lot of fun at the game, and I am looking forward to this Friday! Overall things have been going pretty good.

Write a blog about your first year in high school.. Has it gone by fast or slow? Was high school what you expected?

Freshman year has come and gone. I can not believe how fast my first year in High School went by. It was a lot of fun, and was filled with learning. High School was different than I expected it to be. The first day of school I did not think I was going to pass. If the teachers were trying to scare us with their first day of school speech it worked. I am excited for the coming years in high school, and ready to do more things at Wellington High School.

Less is more

There is a lot of things that apply to this saying. One that I think of is homework. Less homework is better than more. Every kid on this planet hates homework. So hearing that you do not have homework or not a lot of homework just makes your day.

Parents

NOW

THEN

My dad was athletic. He was very fast and liked track. He hung out with the bad boys. My mom was a baton twirler, and not very athletic. She obeyed the rules, and was a good girl.

Dream Room

My dream room would be very calm and relaxing. It would have calm colors such as creme and light brown. It would have a roof that comes to a point like a triangle. It would be huge, and also have a big walk in closet. I would also have my own bathroom attached to the room. My bed would be dreamy. There would be twinkle lights and a chandelier dangling above the bed. Also there would be tons of storage, and enough space for a couch, chair, desk, and chair. It would be awesome if I could have this room. I would never want to leave!!!

Current Events

This is the 100th anniversary of when the Titanic sank. There will be a cruise that will retrace the path of the Titanic. They will even go over the exact spot the ship sank. There is 1,309 people aboard. This is the same amount of people that were on the Titanic. Music that was played on the Titanic, and the same type of food that was served on the ship will be on the cruise ship. They will have a memorial service on April 14 at 11:40 p.m. to mark the moment Titanic hit the iceberg. Many relatives of ones that were on the Titanic are now on the cruise ship to remember their loved ones that died on the Titanic. This is going to be very true to the actual Titanic experience, but minus the wreck.

Favorites

My favorite book at this time would have to be Matched. I like this book so much because it has a interesting plot, and it is so abnormal. My favorite movie is To Save A Life. This is because it is very touching, and it makes you think about the decisions you make and how they impact others. My favorite song is Saturdays in September by the Jane Dear Girls. I like this song because it is good. The beat is good, and it sounds good.

PLEASE!!!

Dear Coach Ashmore,
        I would love to go see the Hunger Games on Friday. I think that we should be able to go because we put in our time in class and at home reading the book. We also have come to love the book, and we would love to see it in action. If the problem of going is because of money, I am sure that we could each come up with six dollars. We have worked hard in this class, and I feel that we should be rewarded for all of our hard work. Many of us loved the book so much that we finished it before it was assigned to be done. Many have also the second and third book in the series because we got into the book. Please think about allowing us to go see the movie on Friday!!!
Love,
Kelsey

Jordan

Dear Jordan,

      You will be missed greatly. I love that I got to spend my off week of track walking with you and throwing the shot. It was really fun!!! You are a very funny person, and dress way cute!!! I hope that you come to love your new school. Track and basketball will not be the same without you.
Until next time,
Kelsey

Sleepy Sick Day

Whenever I am sick I usually want to lay in my parents room and take a LONG nap. I like to lay in their room because it is darker in there, they have a bigger television, and they have the DVR so I can watch things that have been recorded. During the day there is not many good shows on so I stick to watching recorded things. I do not like to be disturbed. I like to be home alone so that it is quiet and peaceful. Whenever I am sick there is nothing better than a nap because when I am asleep I do not feel quite as sick. It makes the sick day go by faster, and if I think about being sick while I am sick it just makes me feel sicker. The best thing to do is take a nap.

The Collingsworth County Livestock Show was January 28. This was the day that we had worked for. Cameron and I were so nervous because we did not want to disappoint our dad. Our goats could tell it was a big day I guess because you could tell that they were nervous too. Cameron's two goats, and my two goats were in the same class along with Matt Wilhelm's goat. Bama and Charles William were nice enough to show our other two goats. Of course I knew that I had the best goat in the class, but I did not want Cameron to feel bad so I kept it to myself. We walked into the show ring, and you could tell that the judge liked my goat. Five minutes later I got the blue ribbon. Right after that I had to go back into the ring to compete for Grand Champion. Short Stuff (my goat) was already tired and did not want to go back in. So we had a talk and he acted better. I told Cameron before I went in that I would try my hardest to win so that she could go in to compete for Reserve. It did not take long for the judge to decide that Short Stuff was the Grand Champion. Then Cameron went in and won Reserve. The Warren family was very happy. It was a wonderful, successful day!!!

All Alone

Today was the day that the owners of Rascal finally have had enough of all of his energy and mess. He had torn up the baby's blanket, Ate the soap, and scratched the couch. All of this amounted to Rascal being kicked out of the house. Rascal was scared but determined. Rascal went your to find some new friends. He could not find an animal that looked like him. Dogs, not a good mix. Skunks, too stinky. Finally after two days of looking he found an animal that sort of looked like him, a raccoon. The only thing that was missing was a black mask around his eyes. They made a deal, if Rascal could find a mask to blend in he could be in the group. Rascal searched all day, and he finally found some black mud. He precisely put the mud on as a mask. When he returned the racoons were pleased. Rascal now belongs somewhere again.

A Quick Thought

On a warm day Chubby just could not catch a break. His nose, leg, and butt were itching. Chubby quickly found relief for his nose and leg, but he could not find a way to scratch the other. Chubby was running out of ideas when he had the wonderful thought of scratching it on the fence. Soon Chubby realized this was the perfect solution. Every once in a while he would catch a splinter, but the birds would come and get it out. No one understood why the bird would want to do this, but only Chubby and the bird understood their unique friendship. Everything was good at the ranch for Chubby. The itches were gone, and Chubby was happy. Chubby's owners also got a good laugh every time they would look out the window and see Chubby scratching on the fence post.

A Fishing Trip Gone Wrong

Madison had been begging her daddy to take her fishing for three days. Finally it was the day that they were going to Lake Paul to go fishing. Madison was so excited she could hardly wait to see all of the magnificent fish. When they arrived Madison would not even stop to put on sunscreen. She was ready to go. When her daddy got everything ready to go Madison was already bored and hungry. Never the less they sat down to fish. Things got even worse when it was too hot for the fish to bite. They sat there for two hours and did not catch one single fish. When they loaded up to go home Madison was as red as a lobster. When they got home her daddy was in trouble for not putting sunscreen on Madison, and the entire family had to hear her complain for another three days.

Senses

Sight-The sights of magnificent fireworks in the dark sky.
Touch-The soothing touch of rabbit fur.
Sound-The sound of peaceful waterfalls.
Taste-The taste of sweet delectable sugared strawberries.
Smell- The smell of attractive boys wearing Hollister cologne

Forgiveness

It is usually hard for me to forgive. Whenever I set my mind on something I feel like that is the only way. If someone does not do something the way I think it should be done, or do something I do not agree with it is hard for me to forgive them. The statement "Not forgiving someone is like drinking the poison and waiting for the other man to die."  means that whenever you do not forgive people it hurts you, not them. The person may not even care if you forgive them or not, but this grudge can hold you down. Yes, this is true in my opinion. The grudge affects the person holding it more than the person the grudge is against. A grudge is a weight on the holders shoulder. I know you should forgive easily, but forgiving is harder than it seems. Whenever we have a hard time forgiving we need to think of our Savior Jesus. He is the perfect example of forgiveness that we need to model ourselves after.

Fly on the Wall

I am going to be a fly on the shoulder of my boyfriend when he is away. I would do this to make sure he is not cheating on me. Another reason is to make sure that he is not doing anything stupid. If he is acting stupid then I am going to poop on his food. When he buys me gifts I am going to be able to see what he gets so I can get him an equally good present. To be a fly to see your boyfriend would be great!!!
