Short Short Stories

That is, as opposed to long short stories, which I usually write. Not right now, though.
I am so exited! From April 27th to May 27th, I wrote 9 short stories. Thay take up no more than both sides of two sheets of notebook paper. Trust me, for me that is short. I'll type some up and get them on here as soon as I can.

p.s. I'll probablly put up the Christmas one in the middle of summer. ;)

I'm Done!!!!!

Yes, finally. I thought I was done with the school year at the beginning of this month, when I finished my regular schoolwork, but then I had to finish stuff for AWANA and homeschool co-op. I also had Rosetta Stone and a geography class. Finally, I did a speech about Chinese language at a culture symposium. I just finished that tonight, and now I'm DONE with 8th grade!!!!!

oh wait, that means I'm in High school........

Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to blog and work on my book more this summer.

Meritorious Award

I just got this award tonight in AWANA! It is for finishing the two Jr. High AWANA books. I was surprized that it is so big! Next year I will start doing the High School books.

Holy Week

Hebrews 2:18
For since He Himself has now been through suffering and temptation, He knows what it is like when we suffer and are tempted, and He is wonderfully able to help us.

Remember to thank God as you celebrate what He has done for us this week.

Here is the Red Belt!!!

Red Belt!!!

I just took my red belt test tonight! To break my board I did a jumping back kick. I also broke my record of how many push ups I can do in one minute. In June, I'm taking my Sr. Red belt test. Then, in November, I'll take my BLACK BELT TEST!!!!!!!

My Valentine's Day Poem

Here's a poem I wrote for Valentine's Day. It took a little while, but I finally got it the way I wanted.


Sometimes I wonder what love really is.
It's just so mysterious I can't understand it all

but there are a few things I know for sure from what I've seen and heard:

Love is caring for somebody no matter what choices they make
but Love is also telling them the hard things because you care so much
Love is hoping for someone when they can't find hope of their own
and Love is waiting for them even if it takes a long time coming
Love is the center, the key, the heart, not of this world, but of another
and Love happened when that heart was broken.
