I am poem...

I am nice and friendly.
I wonder why utah has 9th grade in Jr. high.
I hear the wind.
I see the clear ocean.
I want to be great at tumbling.
I am nice and friendly.
I pretend I can do a back flip on the ground.
I feel hyper.
I touch a soccer ball.
I worry sickness.
I cry losing someone.
I am vice and friendly.
I understand people can teach people things.
I say practice makes perfect.
I dream riding on a horse on the beach.
I try to be great at dancing.
I hope to be a cosmotologist.
I am nice and friendly.

New Years Eve

For New Years Eve I went to a stake dance. It was so fun! I went with my two cousins and  my friend Jade. We went for four hours! I t was so hot in the dance and there was a lot of people. It was funny because me and my cousin would run into the people that were slow dancing and they would just laugh. And there was people who would get in a circle and there would be one or two people who came in the middle and danced it was pretty cool. And they had a lot of fun songs and they played the two step song and me and all my friends did the two step dance! It was a great dance!

Empathy...

They lack empathy by having no feelings. They can't really have empathy for an another  if they don't have feelings. Because usually empathy is feelings and feeling and understanding what other people have gone through. Jonas can empathize with others because his job is a receiver so he gets to have feelings  and feel pain and happiness. And before he was a receiver he had no feelings. So he knows how the rest of the community feels because every one else has no feelings. Like in the book Jonas asks if his parents love him and they said they enjoy him but don't love him because they don't feel love or don't know what it is. And when Jonas's dad released the baby he was being happy about i because he didn't really understand what he was doing. And Jonas was sad and wondering why his dad didn't feel bad about it because Jonas has feelings and his dad didn't.

My cousins

 I have four cousins that are my age. Their names are Sadie, Bree, Sienna, and Ciera. We grew up together and we are still very close. I am closer with Sadie and Bree then I am with Sienna and Ciera. Me, Sadie and Bree do everything together. Sadie goes to my school and Bree goes to Timberline.

  My favorite things to do with my cousins is just to be with them and play around. We used to always get together and make up dances and film them. And this Thanksgiving we watched some and they were so funny. We would pretend we were the Cheetah girls. We still make up dances when we get together. I love playing with my cousins. I don't know what I would do without them.

 My cousins are like my sisters! They are always there when I need them or if I just need to talk to someone. And I do the same for them.  We have been through a lot together. And they are my best friends. I have so many good memories with them since I was little. I love my cousins and hope we will always be best friends!
