what I would miss most

The thing I would miss most I think is the outside. I don't think I would be able to handle staying in a place for two years with out any outside stuff. I would miss going to school and being able to do what I want to do. If I had to go into hiding I would feel like I was hiding myself and who I was. I think that Anne and her family were brave and put up with a lot within those two years.

why people chose to help them hide

I think that even though it was dangerous they wanted to help because it was wrong what was going on. If you were okay with how they were treating Jews then something was wrong with you. I think that by helping them and hiding them they did a good thing even though it was scarey. Maybe they didn't want to see thoses bad things happen to them because they were friends, And they knew they could hlep so they did. I think that helping them was a good thing to do and for that they lived longer then they would have if they weren't able to hide. So in the end by helping them they did a lot.

something that makes me happy

Something that makes me happy is my family. My family is the most important thing to me. I may not get to spend that much time with them but when I do it's a blast. We watch movies and hang out. My family is one thing that keeps me going. Although at times they can be a pain they have never givin up on me. I have realized that family is one thing that will never go away and will always back you up. I love spending time with my family; everyday is something new. My family is funny and they always make me laugh.

what reality show i would participate in

I don't know what reality show I would want to participate in. I don't even know if that would be fun. but if I had to pick one I would say the singing bee. It looks like a funny show and it looks like people have a good time on it. My strategy would be to try and know all the songs that they put on there. To try and remeber the words to them so I didn't look stupid when I was doing it. It looks fun but I know at the same time it would be super hard.

What I know about Anne Frank

Well so far I know that she was a young girl who had to be hidden. Her family was Jewish and jew's were taking and were not allowed to do much of anything. A friend hid them in her house. She kept a diary of her life and wrote everything in it. She didn't have a friend close enough to share things with so she put it in a book. She talked about what the people did to the jew's how badly they were treated and all the things they were not able to do. She thought it was odd someone of her age to keep a dairy.

I stood up for something I beleived in

Ever since I was in middle school I have wanted to do something good with my life. As soon as I reached high school I started messing up not going or not doing my work. So I fell really far behind and just didn't go for a while. When I went to get back into school they told me I was to far behind to go back. So I went and talked to the main person at the school and still got the same answer. After that who would want to go back to school. But I went and got back in I was gonna prove to everyone that I could do it. I knew that if I believed in myself that they would have to as well. I think that if you believe in something you should do it no matter what other people may say about it.

The Holocaust

I don't really know anything about the holocaust. I have never really heard people talk about it. It could be something interesting to learn more about. I don't know what is it or anything like that. So really what is the holocaust? I have never really had it explained to me. I would like to know about maybe find out what it it.

What my imaginary person did

As you know Jenny is a fun person. She has moved on to working at a water park the first day of summer break. She works on one of the biggest water slides at the park. Her job is to stand at the top of the slide and let the kids go down. One day she got super bored while working and decided to time how long it took the kids to get to the bottom. An older guy went on the slide one day and asked her what she was doing she told him she times the kids. He asked what was the shortest time for someone to get to the bottom she said 11 secsonds. The guy was like okay well watch this he went down the slide and asked her what his time was it was 11 secsonds he had tied the score. That summer was the best summer for her. She made something boring into something fun.

haiti earthquake


The picture I choose to use was taken by CNN. I think that it's heart breaking to have something like that happen. I feel so bad for all the people that lost there life's and for those who lost family. If I was in that spot I would have no idea what to do. I would be so scared and lost. To have pretty much my whole town down because of an earthquake would be horrible. If I was there I would be doing everything I could to help make people feel better and safe again. I would be trying to get things back in order and helping people find loved ones they can't find.

A place I know well

A place I know well is the living room. It has a TV where I watch a lot of it. it has a big window right in front with pretty green shades over it. The smell is like apples because of the candles all over the house. it has a big entertainment center that the TV and DVD player is on. It's also where we play the WI. The sounds are mostly quiet and from the TV unless we have people over then it's loud. The living room is on of my favorite place's because it's a family place where everyone can come together and hangout.

What I did over break.

My break was spent with family and most of the time in the hospital. I played card games and put up a christmas tree. I spent some time with my baby cuzins and got to see how much they have grown up. I watched a lot of movies and learned a lot about nurseing. For new years i watched the ball drop on tv and did a puzzle. I've been learing how to cook a lot of different things it's kind of fun. I also learned that if i put my mind to it i can do just about anything i want to.
