Now I Remember

-
I was asked to memorize a poem. It is called Richard Cory, and its not exactly short. It was very hard, but I made it happen. I was asked how I memorized it, and my answer was this: I first wrote it down on a piece of paper, and then I would memorize it line by line. I continued to do this for three days, and by Friday, I had it memorized. I recommend you read Richard Cory.

How'd I Do?

-
Today I had an interview in English. I was shaking the whole time, some of my answers were wacky, and I was nervous. I feel like I honestly could have done a little better, but ultimately, I am proud of myself. I wonder how you guys think I did. Please comment to this post so I know how you think I did today.                                                                                                                                                                 ~Wa do

I Can

You can't. Those two words are the ones I've heard most often in my life. Someone was always telling me I couldn't. And for a while, I let myself believe them.  I used to dream of becoming an astronaut when I got older. Someone told me I couldn't.   I wanted to be the smartest student in my third grade class. Someone told me I couldn't. I wanted to be the best softball player that ever lived. I think you know what they said. Sometimes there were legitimate reasons as to why I couldn't do certain things. My fear of heights made my dreams of becoming an astronaut unachievable. There are always people smarter than me. I had asthma and was always sick growing up. I let myself listen to others and take away the best parts of my life. I listened to what everyone said I couldn't do until I was in fourth grade. I had a wonderful teacher named Mrs. Adams, and she taught me that I could. I told her about my goal in thi...

I Ain't Got Time For This

Today, I was asked what I do with my day. Every weekday, I do the same things. I usually don't ever have a change of schedule. So here it is: 5:30 am - Wake up, do homework I didn't finish the day before, help everyone get ready, make everyone's lunch, and get ready for school. 8:30 am- School begins. 3:00 pm- School ends,  get picked up at 3:15, pick up my cousins at 3:45, and make any errands necessary. 4:00 pm- Get home, take care of all my pets, start on chores. 5:30 pm- Cheer practice.  7:30 pm - Cheer practice ends, make any last errands, go home, finish chores, make dinner, do homework, and take care of family and animals. 11:30 pm- If I'm lucky, this is bedtime. Usually later though. So ask me again whether I can go to that party tonight.  Ask me if I have time to do anything.  I don't. If only there was more time in the day. My house would be cleaner. My homework would actually be done instead of half-assed. I could actually do thin...
