Lesson Learned

On July 4th we were having a bar-b-q and about to start popping fireworks outside, we were all having excited about it. My dad always takes us to buy fireworks, so we were waiting for him to take us. About ten minutes later he says to get ready to go buy fireworks. When we get there i start buying a lot of different kinds of fireworks. When we started popping fireworks my mom told me not to hold it in my hand and throw it, she said to put it on the floor and light it. I wasn't really paying any attention to what she was saying so i started lighting the fireworks in my hands, it was going real good i was throwing them right. I had found one with a short fuse and thought i would have enough time to toss it in the air, so when i lit it the firework popped right on my hand, it was hurting a lot. I had to go put my hands in some water with cold ice, ans i was thinking to myself about what my mom had told me, i wasn't ever going to to that again.

Comma What?

My father had left our house in the midst of a fight between Lindsey, and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y to swim. Without thinking Lindsey had blared, "I'd rather die!" at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket, took the car keys off the hook by the back door and snuck out.

Remembering 9/11

1. I was in mcallen 2nd grade in mr. gonzalez's class. I remember that all teachers started talking about the crash, and the tv reporters that were there were saying what happen. I remember seeing signs everywhere each year on nine eleven, because of the people that had died that day and year.

2. Twenty years from now i think some people will rememeber, but there will be more people not caring about what happen because of how long ago it was.

3. I think terrorists chose to attack america because it is a free state and every one has rights, and othere countries don't have the rights that america has.

4. no i don't know anyone that was affected by the attack on 9/11 but i know of all the people who had families taken away from them.

5. If i were to wright a story about 9/11 it would probably be some who was there, or at least near it to see what had happen, and how people reacted to the crash.

Friendship bell ringer

to me friendship is more important because without friends you have nobody by your side and no one to trust so you cant get anywhere.
