Samantha’s Favorite Memories

By Sammy

1. Hitting my head on Emma's car when we where sledding. A long time ago during the
winter, there was snow in the mountains. I went sledding with Emma and her family. Emma and I were on a long straight sled. We were going down a slanted hill by the car. We were slowing down a little bit when we were coming closer to her car. Apparently not slow enough I was in front so we stop right as I hit my head on her car. Emma said "Are you all right?!" I said "Yes I'm fine." At the same time we burst out into laughter. Her parents came over and saw if I was all right. Then her dad tried to build a wall to stop us. Too bad no snow bank could ever prevent Emma and me from going forward.

2. When Karlie and I crashed when we where quading. I spent the night at Karlie's house after one of our softball games. It was an unexpected sleepover I didn't have any of my stuff. We went so dinner at the Totem. It was late at night when we got 2 her house we messed around and after a while fell asleep. The next day we wanted to go quading but I only had cleats so I wore her sister's shoes and we went. I was laughing a lot then Karlie went faster than her mom wanted and she looked be hide her at the dust and ran straight into a bob wire fence. The quad tipped she jump off easily, I got stuck. The quad was laying on top of me she lifted the quad I drug myself out from underneath. She started running down the drive way and I flowered her with on shoes. Her mom asked what really happened and Karlie made up a story so it sounded like my fault. I had a huge bruise as big as my thumb for a month.

3. When Emma, Karlie and I chugged Pepsi now. One day Karlie, Emma and I were hanging out in my dad's personal. We all got a Pepsi which I'm not allowed to drink. Then we thought we heard someone so we ran to the bathroom. Karlie got the toilet Emma got the sink, and I got the bathtub. We started chugging our drinks. We started laughing after two chugs. So we ended up spitting the soda in our areas. It was the funniest thing that ever happened.

4. When we drank monster and tried to stay up all night. Then when people put toys on me. We were having a big sleepover at Emma's house. Shealan bought 4 monsters before. We sat outside when it was dark and drank them. I was really hipper and everyone else was still a little calmer. Linda called us inside we went up to Emma's room and messed around. I fell asleep. Emma and Shealan put toys and stuffed animals on me. Karlie was laying on one of Emma other beds. I woke u to a light up alien I started throwing stuff at Emma. She was like it wasn't me and pointed to where Emma and Shealan were. I started throwing stuff at them. Then everyone started laughing.

5. When I was sledding and my dog jumped on my back then made me crash. I went sledding last year with my dad and my brother. We had to walk a lot. But when we got to the perfect area we knew it. My dog Dayton followed me up the hill. I ran up this hill with my new red and black sled. I Ran and laid down I started going faster and faster. My dog was of cores right next to me until she decided to jump on my back. We bother where going down the hill. She was surfing on me. Then she jumped off and made me flip.

5 Bestest Memories

By Aly

1. My Chicken Head dog

My first favorite memory was when I was about 7 years old. It was when I got my little chicken of a dog. His name is Rooky. He was the cutest little dog I've ever seen and I practically cried when my dad said I couldn't keep him. But my father saw how happy Rooky made me and said I could keep him! And to this day he's still a chicken, but he's my chicken headed doggy!

2. Going to Camp Kindle

My 2^nd favorite memory was when I was about 6 years old and it was my first time going to Camp Kindle. If you don't know what Camp kindle is, it's a camp for kids with HIV and AIDS. (By the way I don't have HIV nor AIDS; my cousin does) But it was so much fun! They had a trampoline and the counselors were throwing us on them. It was awesome!

3. My Dad and my Half Bro fighting

When I was about 6 years old I was getting ready for bed and I normally was use to the TV playing a little louder then it should be, but when I heard yelling instead of the TV I decided to go see what all the yelling was about. Not my smartest idea, I hate to say. But I was walking down the hall and heard my dad yelling and my half brother yelling right back. I ran to the end of the hall and saw my brother in a choke hold. My dad saying "You ever try to hit me again I'll do worse then what I'm doing now!" Then my dad pushed my brother on the floor. He had a bloody nose and was slowly regaining his balance, but still Robert (my Brother) wasn't going to give; he grabbed a cup and threw it at my dads head. It was scarcely close. I scream when my dad punched him in the nose, it started bleeding really badly. When my mom heard me scream she came in and saw my dad and Robert fighting she started yelling at my dad which got him madder. She had Robert leave with a bloody nose, and a black eye. She had blood stains all over her PJ's; she then yelled at my dad saying 'What the freak happened?" My dad replied like he wanted to kick someone else's butt "He tried to hit, I stopped him." He wanted to come give me a hug when he saw I was there crying a little, but I wouldn't let him anywhere near me for a week.

4. My Cousin

Even though I love my cousin Sarah she's a pain in the butt. And I learned that from a whole entire year of living with her. I was 8 years old and I found out my Aunt Kathy was in rehab and someone needed to take care of Sarah, so I begged my mom to see if we could keep her. She whined daily, woke me up at 6:30 am or like 2:00 Am every morning, then she'd pinch me and my friends and my other cousin Jesse. I was the most patient one with her until a year later I finally cracked. I decided if she didn't shut up and stop pinching me she was going to get hurt, when I told her that she came running at me going to punch me. But she never got to land a touch on me, because when she was close enough to where I could get her I grabbed both of her wrists and spun around until she was on the ground crying. And when my parents heard the commotion they came out and saw Sarah crying I told them what happened and right before the story was over she came at me again! I decided enough was enough, I pushed her into a concrete wall as hard as I could she chipped a tooth that night, and she left me alone after that.

5. The Time I Met Sammy Hanratty

Ok so 2 years ago when I was ten I had my last job with a production named within. And the star was Ms. Sammy Hanratty. She was really nice, and signed an autograph for me. It was really fun and sad for me.

My Five Favorite Memories

By Katie S.

1. My scar. When I was seven years old I got my first scar. I thought it was pretty retarded. The reason it is retarded is because I got the scar from cleaning my room. So this is how it happened. My sister and I were cleaning our room and it was really messy because we had a lot of toys. So we started to box everything up inside plastic boxes. So we start filling the boxes. 1 box, 2 box, 3 box. Then we get to a bin that has a broken piece on the lid. It was the last box we needed. So we placed the lid on my bed and forgot it. So my sister made my bed for me. Finally we were done. So at bed time she climbed to the top bunk and got into bed. Then I sat on my bed fixed the covers and slipped one leg into bed then the other. Then when I slipped the other leg in the lid was still there and I cut myself on the broken piece and it made my first scar.

2. First Computer. The day was near my birthday and I was thinking of what I wanted. Then it struck me I wanted a computer of my own. It would be my first. So for my birthday I asked for money. I had 200 dollars in my account. Then I got 200 more for my b-day. So I ordered my computer 1 week later. And it was here within five days. Yeah.

3. My BFF. My best friend for ever is L. Before I moved up here to town. My Bff was L. We were BFF since I had first moved there. She knew everything about me. And I knew everything about her. I miss her.

4.My first game system. MY first game system was the WII. I wanted it so bad when it first came out. I asked and I asked. But they said. No. So finally when my b-day came I got a WII. And I love it.

5. My first friend at my new school When I first came to this school I didn't have any friend s of course . Then during 4^th period I sat across from Aly. We started talking and became friends.

Best Playground

By Karlie

The best playground is a huge one with a pool. And a sky tower. It will also have a zip line that goes through the jungle. You will also be able to see lions, tigers, and elephants. My playground will also have big bouncy balls like on Wipeout. It will also have a slide that is 9,000 feet tall, that is really swirly and scary. To me that is the best play ground.

Why is Homework Good

By Karlie

I think homework is needed. It's important and it also keeps you out of trouble from doing bad things like drugs. And if you have nothing to do, homework is something you can do when you have nothing to do.

Homework also keeps your mind on school. So you don't forget anything that you need to remember for school. Homework can also be extra credit for some teachers. Also homework can be away for your parents to know what you're doing in school. That is I think homework is needed.

Introducing Alyson

I would like you to introduce Alyson. Alyson is in 7^th grade. She's twelve years old. Alyson considers herself a very good student. Her favorite hobby is to play sports. Her favorite subject is social studies. She thinks social studies is important because what would happen if things started repeating itself.

Alyson likes to watch the Simpsons. Her favorite colors are purple and black. Her most embarrassed thing that she had was when she was at a acting job for Cold Case Files. She was wearing heelies and she went to get milk and when she was going back her heelie hit a rock and she felt and the milk went up and came down to her head. She got upset. The happiest moment that she had was when she met Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible. Her favorite song is Don't Trust Me by 30h!3. Her favorite book is Vampire Academy no. 3 Shadow Kiss. You met Alyson you got to know her.

Introducing Karlie

This is Karlie. She is a childish 12 years old. She likes living in the Alabama Hills because it just wide open space. When she is bored and has no friends over she likes watching TV and rocking out to Nickelback. When the Star Wars soundtrack comes on she always changes it. The funniest event always happens with Emma and Sam. The funniest thing that happened to one of her friend is when Guss her goat was chasing Sam. She has 9 horses, 8dogs, 1 turtle and 1 fishy. When Emma and Karlie were up in the mountains they broke a disposable camera. When someone gets her mad she'll end up smacking someone or yelling her little head off. She is an insane quad driver. I think she might be the craziest quad driver I know. She flies over bumps and logs like a dinosaur was chasing her. She scream over open land like there was no tomorrow. When water is in front of her she goes faster instead of slower. When she goes through water it looks like and insane stunt seen like the ones you see on television. She is so talented she knows how to surf on grass and ride horses. Her favorite colors are red and blue, she's very proud of her countries colors. She is not a big fan of school. School is like a mental institution for her. Not even a little box can contain her. At recess she gets to be her real self a wild little mustang.

Introducing Lupita!

I would like you all to meet my friend Lupita. She's 11 years young and does not believe in aliens, and won't until she sees an actual real one!

Her favorite animal is her dog because (to her) he's amazing, he listens, and she's had him since she was about one year old.

Lupita also says that her mama's tacos are her favorite food and her favorite sport is supposedly volleyball, because it's easy.

On the weekends she likes to sleep and watch TV, and her favorite types of movies are "stupid" movies like Bruno and Borat because they're hilarious. Lupita's favorite shoe brand is DC because they're "different", and her favorite color is light blue because she likes light blue pants.

Some of her favorite activities are walking around town with friends, going to the park, and watching movies with her family. She has 4 siblings (4 brothers), and she likes video games that are easy but fun.

Lupita's favorite types of restaurants to go to are places with authentic food and her favorite time of the year is summer because there's no school.

That is all the information I got from my interview with her, I hope you enjoyed.

MY PERFECT PLAYGROUND

by Isai

The perfect playground for me will be something weird something that it’s not normal. It will be really big with a lot of grass. And in the part that there’s no grass they will be a drawing of giant scowl. And to play kickball, football, soccer, volleyball and basketball we will use scowls and wouldn’t use any kind of balls. Then all the class rooms will be black and the kids will have to use black everything or purple. Break time will be wear like the sky will be dark and cloudy and at lunch time I will put music like heavy metal or rock. And the school mascot will be a zombie the play ground will smell like nothing, it will be windy. For the dances they will be scowls all over and the drinks will look like blood and the snacks will look like eyeballs but they will taste like muster. And that will be the perfect school for me.

The Cafeteria Is Psycho

by Isai

The cafeteria is really chaotic and the eighth graders are psycho especially GREG. The cafeteria is really loud and is fun at the same time. The cafeteria is one of my favorite places in school. The cafeteria is warm when it is cold outside. And I love the idea that now we can get second chance breakfast. I love this because if you're late for school you can still get breakfast. The cafeteria food is so good especially the Chicken Oriental.
