 WHY ANTS? WHY?
I hate ants! They give me the creeps. But I didn’t hate ants
before. When I was little, my dad was gardening outside and I
came to help him. I was wearing my favorite sandals that mama
gave me. My dad was pulling up weeds and putting them behind
the berry bushes. I asked “Hey dad, can I help?”
“Ok. Come and help me with this.” Right after he said that my
feet started stinging. I looked down and little red fire ants where
crawling up and down my legs! I started kicking and screaming!
My dad kept on asking what was going on but I ran up to the
house. I yelled, “Mom! Help!” she came down and swiped the
ants off me. Mom gave me medicine to help my legs but they
ached for two full weeks. 
 A BAD DAY
When I was little, I was playing Mario party 7. My dad
came up to me and said, “Honey, your mom and I need to
talk to you.” I thought I was getting new cloths or a cell
phone, but it sounded bad. The first words he said were,
“Honey, sometimes parents don’t get along anymore.
Then they have to separate…..”
Then it clicked. “Y’all are getting divorced!” Dad nodded. I
balled for hours. I couldn’t believe this was happening to
me! I didn’t deserve this! But I got over it and moved on.
God helped me and I am very thankful that I have him.
 THE IRISH FESTIVAL
One day, my dance teacher asked me and Mc to sing in the
Irish festival. I asked mom and dad and they said I could. So
Miss Anna told me to practice and be at the dance studio
at 1:30 pm. So all day I practiced until it was time to go. Mc
and I practiced together and got our pitches right.
We sang beautifully! Like angles! So all three of us
walked down the festival. There was green everywhere!
After we got situated, Mc and I walked on the stage and
sang the national anthem, but I stared at the trees the
whole time. After we finished, everyone walked up and
complemented us. It was so much fun!
 OUCHY!!!!
I was on the beach with my cousin Lila and we were
boogie boarding. We were screaming and laughing our
lungs out! But I was standing, watching Lila boogie to the
shore when I felt a little tickle on my leg. Lila was beside me
by then. I said “hey, stop tickling me.” “I’m not.” Lila said.
Then my leg started stinging so bad I screamed all the
way to the shore. I yelled “MOM! I got stung by a jellyfish!”
she came rushing over and spread sand all over my leg.
Then a lady came over and said “Here, use this credit card
to scrape of the stingers.” Mom did and it hurt! my leg
ached for days. All I could think of was “Ouchy!”
 X-RAYS IN THE HOSPITAL
When I was in 2nd grade, I was racing my friend Marion. I jumped right
In front of her and ran faster and harder. But then, I fell smack on my
arm. Marion had no brakes and just dove over me. I looked at how bad
the energies were and things didn’t look good. My wrist was a big
lump.
Then the water slides stared to work. Mrs. Stuart rushed me over to
the health room and got a nurse from the middle school to take a look.
She called my mom and told her to pick me up and take me to the
hospital. They took so many x-rays that my arm just numb. Then they
gave me a shoot that by the way got stuck in me and then put me to
sleep. When I was asleep, they but a cast on me and then put me in a
bed room. Then when I could take the cast off they took another x-ray!
I’ve never seen or sat through so many x-rays in my whole life!
 YELLOW- JACKET INVATION
One year, I was at camp going on a hike with my cabin. A teacher
was showing us about all the plants and stuff. But right after we
past a fallen tree, things went bad. I was just walking, minding my
own business when I felt a sting on my leg. I didn’t have enough
time to look down because I felt another sting on my arm. Then a
sting here and there and everywhere! Even on my face!
When I looked on my cheek, I saw a tiny black and yellow jacket. I
saw everyone screaming and running in different directions. I ran
sown hill to the health hut and got treated. When I was lying on my
little bed I counted how many times I got stung. Apparently I got
stung 20 times! My cabin was desperately worried about me even
though then also got stung. But in the end, we all ended up happy.
 REFLECTION
WHAT DID YOU ENJOY ABOUT THIS PROJECT?
I enjoyed going back to the past like a flash back.
Some of the flash backs were sad, some terrifying,
and others happy. Most of the ones I did on this
power point were the ones that really effected my
life. And others I just wanted y’all to here. I have so
many more that I would like to share with you but…..
Well I couldn’t. I hope you liked my autobiography
and hoped it was interesting.
