My favorite band is called Owl City. This band has very cool songs like Fireflies or Rainbow Veins or The Saltwater Room. But the surprising thing is that it’s not a band it’s one man named Adam. I would like it if you told me your favorite band so please do.

I remember, one sweltering hot summer day, me and my sister were swimming in our backyard pool. Although she had a vest on, Sophie was scared to be let into the open water without anyone holding her. I decided to teach her that swimming isn’t so scary. Bad decision. “Sophie, I’m gonna let go of you now, but I’m right here.” I said cautiously. “Um…o.k..” Sophie said, unsure. I let her go, not knowing what a bad decision I made. Sophie loved swimming, but the bad part was, I had to stay with her in shallow water to watch after her ALL DAY!!! I never got to swim because of her! Next time I’ll think before I do something. I wish I hadn’t done that!!!

My sister Sophie, is driving me cra-z! I can’t believe her! She throws my stuff, she hits me, she screams at me…  I don’t know what to do! But the important thing is that we’re family and we care about each-other…..

Right now I’m bored, so I’m writing just to write. I like writing because you can just express yourself and be yourself. I also like writing because you can get out what’s on your mind, like a journal. I have a journal because if I have a secret I can’t hold in, I just write it all in my journal. How do you feel about writing?

Have you ever had something that inspired you? I have. It all started one hot summer Saturday morning in June. I had waken up early (as usual) amd I was flipping through the channels.”There’s nothing good on tv!” I thought to myself. I accidentally pressed the Select button on a tennis show. “Darn!” I thought to myself. “Just another boring channel.” But something out of the ordinary happened. I began to watch it. As soon as my dad woke up, I exclaimed excitedly; ” Dad, can I take tennis lessons?”  ”Umm… will you stay in lessons?”  ”Yes.” Do you really want to?”  ”Yes.” “O.K., then!” I was so happy!

Now I take weekly tennis lessons, and when I grow up, I want to be a tennis player. It’s strange how one little show can make such a big inspiration, isn’t it?

PLOP!!! My little cousin, Mate’s face drops into the moist, blue cake. I was in San Antonio visiting my cousins Monika and David. I was at my other cousins’ party. He, also, lived in San Antonio. YAY!!!, everyone cheered. After we ate cake, my Aunt Alex said, “Ok, everyone, you may all go home now!” Me and my family walked out of the peach-painted house. “Mom, can I ride with Monika and David?” I asked. “Oh, all right, Audrey!”, said my mom. On the way back, my Aunt Gaby let us pick out something to eat at Seven Eleven. We all got ice cream sandwitchces. I tried to tell my Aunt Gaby something but failed to finish.”Thank- BOOM!!! I was interupted. I had no clue what was going on. Then, I heard Monika crying. My heart twisted in my chest. My neck felt as though 1,000 needles were being inserted into it.Then, I, too, started to cry. We had been hit by a drunk driver. Me and Monika seemed to be the only ones who were hurt. David looked shocked, mouth wide open. The ambulance soon came and drove us to the hospital. I was very happy to see my mom com into the room. “Wow, I want a bed like that!”, said my little sister Sophie. I was surprised that I was alive. That made me realize something. Life is great. Now, Monika is 13, David is 16, and I am 10. It has been 2 years since the surprising, shocking, horrifying expierience. I am glad to be alive. Now, every time I  enter my cousins’ van, I have flashbacks.
