How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

 As a very young kid, I used to enjoy the holidays. As I grew older though, I didn't enjoy them as much. When I was about 8 or 9 I started to not like the holidays anymore. There was always fighting, or something going wrong. Every year, my parents would fight and argue about whose house we would be at on Christmas morning, Thanksgiving, birthdays, etc. Now, the holidays are not as bad as they used to be, but I still don't enjoy them anymore. Every time the holidays roll around, they just bring up a lot of bad memories that I have to be reminded of. This year, I am hoping that it will be better. Thanksgiving was a mess, but a better mess. Hopefully Christmas will be better too.

Write about an adventure you would like to go on

 An adventure I would like to go on is a trip throughout Europe. I have always wanted to visit there since I was a little girl. I could never decide on where I wanted to go the most so, what I would do is travel to them all. I would take a flight there to Europe, and slowly work my way through each country. I would love to visit Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Rome, and Greece. If I do this, then I would be able to visit them all.  Today in class, we finished presenting our origin myth posters. We then, started working on analyzing Emily Dickerson's poems.  I learned about what a great poet Emily was.

Write about something you have always been curious about

 One thing I have always been curious about is why we humans have never fully explored the ocean. Everyone is willing and eager to go and explore space but what about our own planet. Everyone wants us to keep pushing to put the first man on Mars but I believe that we should explore our own planet first before venturing out farther. That is one thing I am curious about is why we haven't and what is down in the ocean? absent absent
