Two Rivers
There is a really mean team called two rivers. On there team there is a girl that is very tall and is very, very, very BIG! Another girl on there team is there point guard who I had to guard and was very dramatic. I still have a bump on my head from her. She fell to the floor and i was just standing there watching her cry. I was the most hurt and the guy didn't even give me a ice pack!!! So then later in the game we were losing by 3 points and there was four seconds left and Jennie made a three pointer at the last second to win the game!!! We were so happy! I hope we get to play them again so that we can beat them by a lot more than 1 point. About the girl who was very tall. I had to jump against her and i won the jump because she was so tall that she didn't even jump so I out jumped a girl that was probably over six feet tall. In one part of the game Ashley had to guard her it was pretty funny because Ashley was only up to her stomach!! I really hope we play them again!

Windy day
It was a windy day when the man crossed the road and went into the bus station. This man was the richest man in the city. He lived in a mansion on the other side of town. No one knew why he had ventured over to this part. This rich man was wearing a leather coat with an expensive satin shirt. He had on new, clean boots with washed and ironed church pants. Many people never talked to him on the poor side of town because he never visits this side of town. People on the poor side of the city only referred to him as ‘the rich man.’
A little girl was not scared of anything. She is ten years old and very, very brave. It was a law that no one would speak to the ‘rich man’ unless he spoke to you first. So she went up to him and said, “Why are you here on the poor side of town?”
Everyone just looked at her like why did she do that? People were in awe, because no one has ever done that before. Surprisingly she was not sent to jail. To the rich man who was technically the ruler of the town thought that if you would speak to him first that was considered rude.
Everyone in the crowd of people watching to see what the rich man would say next. All he said was “I do not know.” Normally he would always underestimate everyone on the poor side because that if you were poor you were bad or ugly. After the little girl had asked the question inside he felt sad because this whole time he was in charge he was mean cruel to the poor people. He thought that only the wealthier people were good, but that day he figured out that being not poor doesn’t make you a bad person.
Seconds later she was still there just staring up at him and he answered.
“Why do you ask young lady?” he said
“I was just wondering why you came over here.” She answered.
He looked over at everyone and answered her question in front of everyone.
“I am over here because I was asked to see how you people lived like and now I realize that it is very terrible and should help get you money and clean clothes. Also I will get you better food and bigger and cleaner homes. I would also like to apologize for not helping you and just hurting you.”
After he was done making his big speech everyone was very happy that he was actually going to do that for them.
So, weeks later the poor and the rich side of town made up their differences and became happy and clean and rich. Now everyone was happy, healthy and rich.

waterskiing!
My favorite sport is waterskiing. I started when I was in first grade. Right now I slalom ski. Which means you go on one ski. I love how when the boat turns and you let go and glide across the water. This summer I learned how to get up on 1 ski. It only took me 1 try. My brother learned how to go on two skies this summer. He tried when he was in 1st or 2nd grade but he got scared. So I kind of made him try this year too. The last time I went skiing I went on labor day and went with my friend Daily. It is really fun going double with someone, but we almost ran into each other. The most times I went around the lake is three times. After the second lap around the lake your back starts to hurt. I really love to waterski!
