I go to Grace Episcopal day school. I'm a vegetarian, and I Iike to play football, basketball, and football. My favorite subjects in school are writing, P.E, Art, and Music. My least favorites, are Math, and spelling. What are your favorite subjects? When I grow up, I want to be an actress and a spy. My favorite book is Miley Cyrus' autobiography, "Miles to Go". I have a more friends than you could count on your fingers AND your toes. I do a lot of fun things after school. The only day I don't have an after-school activity is Thursday.

Now, I'm going to tell you my schedule: Monday - swimming and girl scouts Tuesday - aftercare Wednesday - piano lessons and swimming Thursday - nothing Friday - swimming (I used to have basketball on Fridays but the season is over now).

I'm going to tell you what I look like because you should know. I have wavy, dark, dark brown hair, blue-gray green eyes and very fair skin. I'm left-handed and I wear a lot of bracelets on my left hand. I have red nail polish on my nails.

She's a Field Spaniel and she likes to sleep with my Dad, on my parents' bed or sometimes, she even kicks me out of MY bed. but I love her anyway.

I can't wait to learn more about you. Please write back!

**//Tell the aliens a good tale from earth, or face your country's annihilation!!!

Brainstorm: fictoin, about before humans were on the earth, a story about how the brain works,a story about how their are so many computer, and video games about them, a story about all the good things about humans, and how we have cute dogs to save, and cats to of cores.We could also write about, how people have hopes and dreams for when they grow up, then that will make them sad.//**

Rough Draft:

Once upon a time, before humans, tiny bugs ruled the earth, they were tan bugs, with black stripes they were called, athoonies. They were all over every where, around every corner but every day 1,546,678, died because of the volcanoes squirting hot lava. Those ants were dedly, no wonder there were no humans, if they crawled on you, boom your dead! All the boy ants were named, jack, and all the girl ants were named Amy, exeped for the King, and the, Queen, there name's are, Jackson, and London. The royalty, were beddles, they whore long caips, and huge crowns.

These bugs had hobbies, like, swimming, dancing, football, tennis, mineture golf, and sailing on lava. They had pets to, their pets were spiders. The ants liked them very much, even though they were smaller then the spiders.

The planet, looked a lot different, then it does today. There were volcanoes, that were spraying lava, every where! There was igneos rock, with tiney cracks that turned into big cracks, that turn into huge crack, that start to flow with lava, and allthe ants, scater in all different directoins, then you hear the big splash, like a wave on the sea, the wave of lava has just taken over a couple thousen ant's homes,but soon it will dry and turn into hard igneos rock. Then, some other ants will move in, die, and on and on, and on. then one day, a liquid that wasn't lava, it was what we call today, WATER! Then 5 years later, fury animals came, and wales, dolphins, and fish came. Then land came, and people! That's why people, don't like ants, and they squish ants, so they don't take over the world, again.

They were all over every where, around every corner, but every day 1,546,678, died because of the volcanoes squirting hot lava. Those ants were deadly. It's not a wonder there were no humans If they crawled on you, boom your dead!
