My $1,000,000 Job...

If I could do anything and be paid $1,000,000 a year for it I would want to be a teacher.  Ever since I was young, I have always wanted to be a teacher.  The idea of working with kids and teaching them sounds like fun to me.  Whenever I was bored, my sister and I would always go into our basement and we would play school.  Most of the time I would play the role of the teacher and Megan would play the role of the student.  Sometimes Megan was the teacher and I was the student, I hated playing it this way so much!  Although, most of the time when we played school I would be the teacher and Megan would be what we called the "helper" teacher.

When I was in eighth grade, Matt, my brother told me about a club at Roncalli-FEA-Future Educators of America.  He told me about what they did and I was really excited about it.  This year, I joined FEA.  My favorite part about this club, is every few months you get to go to Pinewood, an elementary school, to help out the teachers and sometimes you get a chance to interact with the students.

My Mom used to be a teacher, because of this she had so many posters, activity books, worksheets, ect. left over.  I thought that all of this stuff was the coolest thing in the world.  For Christmas one year, I got a gradebook.  I made up a class list and would use my mom's leftover worksheets and activity books to make assignments and tests.  Then, I would 'grade' all of these assignments and tests and put the grades into the grade book I had.  At school, sometimes at the end of the year the teachers would sell old books for 25 cents, whenever the teachers sold these books I always had to get one or two of them.  After I had gotten these books I would make up my own notes, worksheets, and tests based off of the chapters in these books.  I always had so much fun doing this!

In conclusion, if I could do anything for $1,000,000 I would be a teacher.  This has been my dream ever since I can remeber. 

My Birthday Month: July

My birthday is in July.  There is one major holiday in July.  This is Independence Day or also known as the Forth of July.  July is the national month for a lot of things.  Some of these include: National Blueberry month, National Anti-boredom month, National Unlucky month for weddings, National Cell Phone courtesy month, National Hot dog month, and National Ice Cream month.  On my birthday, the 'national holiday' is Tapioca Pudding Day and Cow Appreciation Day (go out and give a cow a hug).

There were two number one songs on my birthday.  These were: How do you want it and California love.  The Ruby is the gem for July.  The flower for July is the water lily.  In July, Idaho became the 43rd state.  My zodiac sign is cancer.  July is also the national month for Baked Beans, Hitchhiking, and Read an Almanac.

July is also neighborhood/stranger awareness day.  Many neighborhoods during this month have different social activities sometime during this month.  July is one of the summer months that most everyone enjoys.  School is out and you usually don't have anywhere or anything important to do.  On my birthday, it is also national Gummy worm Day.

Summer = My FAVORITE Season!

My favorite season is summer.  I love summer because there is a nice and long break from school during these months.  I also love summer because my birthday is in the summer.  I really enjoy the warm weather and all of the fun things you can do from June to August.

Some of my favorite things to do in the summer are: going to the zoo, hanging out with my cousins and friends, swimming.  I also like to play tennis and basketball with my brother and sister.  Another reason I love summer so much is because you can sleep in late almost every day.

Sometimes you can have boring days in the summer, but it's not very hard to find something to do, considering the weather isn't cold.  During the summer is also a great time to get alot of reading done.  You don't have to worry about other homework or finishing a book in time to make a deadline. 

I think summer could be known as a worry-free season, for the most part.  I believe this because you really don't have to do anything for school that you  could get 'bad' grades on.  Another reason that summer is my favorite month is because my birthday is in the summer!  I love having a summer birthday because you don't have school and you can have the whole day!

These are just a few reasons of why I love summer!

The Best Vacation Ever!

My favorite vacation was when my family went to Yellowstone National Park.  It took two days to drive up to Wyoming.  Then, we arrived at our campsite, and all the fun began.  It was the middle of June, our picnic table and fire pit were snowed in.  We used my uncle's camper, set up a tent, and we were ready for the week of camping.

We saw many wildlife.  Some of these animals include: grizzley bears, black bears, elk, deer, chipmunks, moose, fish, and pelicans.  On the last  day we stayed at our campsite, there was a deer that ran through the middle of our campsite as we were packing up for home.

During this week, we also did a lot of sight seeing.  We visited the Forty-Fifth Parallel of Latitude Halfway Between Equator and North Pole.  My family and I also spent a day at the Hot Springs in Yellowstone.  This was fun to see, but the smell was not too pleasant.  We also saw a mud geyser, this was a neat to see.  One of the most memorable trails that we went hiking on was Uncle Tom's Trail.  This trail consisted of many steps, but an incredible view at the bottom.  The climb down was fun, but back up not so much.  Megan, my sister, and I had to start climbing the steep steps on our hands and knees, which i guess you could say was fun.  Another memorable hike we went on was to reach Cub Lake.  This was a very nice trail, with a lot of trees.  When we reached the lake, it was beautiful, there were alot of lily pads all over the water.  On the hike back to the car, we hit the afternoon rainshowers on the mountain.  We got back to the car, sloshing through mud, and soaking wet! 

Since we were in Yellowstone, we definately went to see many of the geysers.  Including Old Faithful Geyser, the oldest geyser in the park.  This was a very neat geyser to see erupt.  We also went to see Castle Geyser and Riverside Geyser.  My favorite geyser of all was Grand Geyser.  There was a large ammount of water and steam that shot up from this one, it rarely erupts and we happened to be there when it did.  We waited an hour and a half for this geyser to erupt.  We did alot of reading, sleeping, and watching other geysers erupt that we could see from Grand Geyser during that time.  Megan also got very bored, and decided to do my hair.

This has been my favorite and most memorable vacation I have ever taken with my family.  I hope to go back to Yellowstone sometime in the future.
