Tuesday 5-29-12 the easiest decision

The easiest decision I ever had to make was between ice cream or frozen yogurt. It happened last Saturday night when I went out with my mom and sister. I like ice cream way better than frozen yogurt so it was a very easy choice to pick. That was the easiest decision I ever had to make

Sibling order Quick write Wednesday 5-23-12

I am the youngest of my brother and sister. One good thing about being the youngest is that you had older siblings try out new things and they can tell you what is bad and what is good. Another good thing about being the youngest is that I get to play the sympathy card with my parents. They often times are persuaded but there are times where they wont fall for anything. The last good thing about being born third is that I can get my brother and sister in trouble easily. My parents don't tolerate it when my brother and sister curse or do bad things so they trust my accusation and punish them. A couple bad things about being born last is that my brother and sister always leave me out of going places and never want to do things with me. They also pick on me because of my age and make me feel that I have no experience. Lastly, they get a lot more freedom and privileges than I do. All in all, being the youngest child is a bittersweet life.

Quick write
       There are some unanswered questions in my life. One of these unanswered questions is "what career will I take when I get older and start my independent life?". Another unanswered question I have is "where did life come from?". There isn't only one icon that applies to my life. An additional one that applies to me is patterns. An example of this is that I get up monday through friday and go to school from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m..(There is an exception with tuesdays) This pattern will continue until I graduate high school.

What i would have as my left hand 5-21-12 Monday

There are a few things that I think would be cool to have as my left hand. One of the coolest choices for my left hand would be to make it a snow leopard. If I had one on my left hand, it could act as a defense mechanism and snow leopards are really cute! If I had no other means of transportation, I would ride the snow leopard. I suppose it wouldn't be the best substitute for my left hand, but considering that they are one of my favorite animals, I would replace it in a heartbeat!

Detailed plan for my survey for my persuasive letter 5-8-12 Tuesday

To start my survey off, I would go to the student store at lunch. I would wait for five minutes and try to count how many people would say bad words in those five minutes. I would only count really bad words. Words such as stupid, jerk and crap aren't considered that bad in my opinion. I assume that the results would be very big. In those five minutes I expect to hear at least 100 bad words. It's a pretty high assumption, but it is middle school and the majority of people swear and cuss.
