Twist and Turns

 X-ray
I have sprained both my arms. My left arm when I was five and my right
arm when I was ten. When I was four my family and the Puskers
went to a festival and we went on a blow up trampoline. We were
getting off and I got pushed. I fell on my arm wrong and I sprained it.
Luckily Mrs. Pusker was a doctor and she helped me get through it.
The second time was in fourth grade. I sprained my right arm. I was at
my grandparent’s house. Courtney was in her rough playing mood so
she started tackling me to the ground. I got mad and I through a ball
at her head. Then she pushed me and I fell on the ground. Now
Courtney is to afraid to admit she sprained her arm so she says I
tripped over an invisible ladybug.
 
 Up and Down
 
For the spring break of 2011, my family went to Colorado. I went
skiing and my two sisters went snowboarding. We had some
pretty big wipeouts! There were “Slow Down” signs and
Courtney ran into one and slid under it. Then Corinne had a big
fall.
We went skiing and Corinne said, “I haven’t fallen once on skis.”
Then, of course, two seconds later, she fell. She lost both her
skis and it took ten minutes to get them back on. Then, my big
fall. I was going down a steep hill. Then I fell down it. I got back
up for three more minutes; my skis got tangled and I did a flip
and I fell!
 Finn

Finn is my butt wagging, stuffed animal stealing, really cute dog!

He is so cute! He is an Australian Sheppard so they don’t have
tails, so when he is happy he wags his butt. Finn and Mica
always follow me around and I mean always. Without me they
are lost. I watch out for them more than anyone.
Who feeds them day and night, me. Who gives them baths, me.
Who do they sleep with, me. Who takes care of them? Me. I
am not complaining or anything because I love them. But
sometimes they do get on my nerves.
 Horseback

My favorite after school activity is horseback riding. I love

horseback, I have been doing it since I was six. The first horse I
ever rode name was Vorvi. He was the fastest horse at my
barn. Once I was riding Vorvi and I couldn’t get him to go. So I
kicked him really hard and he started galloping.
I was in the ring so he couldn’t get very far. I tried my best to
hang on but I couldn’t. I came tumbling off the side. I fell in
mud thankfully so it didn’t hurt very much. I was fine so I just
got right back on.
 Olivia
Olivia is one of my best friends. I have known her since we were
babies. She lived with me for two years while her house was
being built. She is a big part of my life. We have our ups and
downs but we get through them together.
When I go to her house we always have trouble deciding on
what to do. Once we went outside to play basketball and a
ladybug flew in Olivia’s mouth! She started screaming and
running around everywhere. I started laughing my head off.
Believe me; if you were there you would have been laughing
your head off too.
 Emily
Emily is my best friend. We started being friends in fourth grade, and since
then we have become closer and closer. Our friendship started when we
got our class list in the mail. Out teacher was Mrs. Wilson and our class
was Me, Emily, Victoria, MC, Becky, Annie, Molly, Theresa, Will B, Will C,
Hal, Karl, Cliff, Alston, Veronica, Christian, and Cole. And some more
people I can’t remember.
Emily, Grace and I were playing a game of hangman. It was Emily’s turn and
she didn’t know what to write. So Grace whispered something to her and
then Emily wrote _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _? We started guessing
and it turned out to be, Will you be my friend? Then it was my turn and I
wrote _ _ _ which was yes!
 Reflection
During this project I learned when you look back
at what has happened to you, you laugh. Even
if it was really embarrassing then. I was a little
nervous at first because we had to write two
whole paragraphs for each letter of the
alphabet. I had a lot of fun editing with Emily
and Cliff. I wasn't scared to tell them anything
about my life because they’re my best friends.
