What Do People Do When They Retire?

When people retire I think they go somewhere they really like.  My grandma said that when my papa retires, they are going to move up north and get a cabin house.  My grandma wants to get a german shepard to watch over them.  Its been my grandma's dream to live in a cabin.  Also, I feel when they retire, they can have time to relax and do fun stuff they couldn't do because of work.

Role of the Presidential Election

I think the role of the presidential election will be mainly to fix the economy.  We want a president that will bring us out of this bad economy where people are barely getting by, to an economy where people will feel a sense of security like they use to.  Also, school funding should also be a huge factor that should be changed.  If we want to be able to compete with China in education and jobs then we need to stop cutting school budgets and instead invest in schools since they are teaching what is our future generation!

Farthest From Home

The farthest I've been from home was probably to Washington.  Me and my mom went there to visit her friend Marie.  I was about 5 years old and had to miss some kindergarden.  It was really fun out there and I got to hang out with Marie's boyfriend, who reminds me of Ross from friends, while my mom and Marie went out.  We got to go to this restraunt where we sat on bean bags.  It the coolest experience ever!

My Closest Relative

Besides my sister, my closest relative is my grandma.  I tell my grandma everything!  I don't get to see her as much as I used to because I'm always busy with softball and school.  Over Winter Break I got to spend the night at my grandma's with my sister and my best friend Taylor.  Me and my grandma and Taylor almost stayed up all night playing scrabble and cards and watching Finding Nemo and eating!  I love spending the night at my grandma's apartment! 
I don't know what it is about grandma's, but they are the people you can alawys feel comfortable telling things too.  I love my Grandma!

Improving 'My Student'

This year, to improve 'my student' I've decided to become more organized. Last semester I had trouble keeping everything I needed where I could find it.  I'm going to study extra hard for my apush chapter test because those were the death of me!  Instead of one big binder, I'm using folders for each of my classes to help keep me organized.  The one thing I'm lacking is a planner, but I think I'll be alright.

New Years Resolutions...

This year I really wasn't sure what I wanted my New Year's resolutions to be.  Usually my mom would go around with the video camara asking everyone what their new years resolutions were and we would have to make one up on the spot.  Since she didn't walk around wwith the camara this year I didn't get to make one, so, I decided my New Year's resolutions are more like expectations rather than goals.
1. Finish the school year with all A's and B's and nothing less.
2. Get atleast a B on all my finals.
3. Become a team leader in softball.
4. Play every game in Varsity and be one of the top players for on base percentage.
5. Have my combined sweet sixteen with my sister!

Winter Break!

Over the break I barely had any relax time.  Starting the last day of school, I had my dad's family over for Christmas.  The next day was Christmas Eve so we had another Christmas party at our house.  Next day was Christmas Day so we had a party at our house and a party at my great tata's house.  It was a crazy and super fun Christmas.  After Christmas we started getting the house ready for New Years.  We needed to buy things for the house, start spring cleaning in winter, and make sure we unpacked our things from our old house.  New years was a blast!  I ended up spending the night at my friends house at 2 in the morning.  Finally, all the partying was over with.  Now druing the day I just had to babysit my little brother and sister and make sure all my chores were done.  The weekend before school started my mom took me and my sister school shopping for clothes and anything else we wanted to buy.  Saturday night my family went down to Chandler for my sister's 21'st birthday.   It was a very fun break!
