Jokes

I love jokes. I do not have a favorite one joke because all my family does is tell jokes. We could be in the worst mood ever but still laugh and tell jokes. Our family gatherings are a blast. My cousins from Colorado can make you laugh until you cry. They are nothing in particular but just in normal conversation. We will be going along talking then if you say something and my cousin will come back with a joke and then you say a joke, it goes back and forth for forever. I have the best memories from these conversations. Sometimes we tell normal jokes at the table but that is rare. I think that it is more fun to just come up with them at the top of your head and in that moment, it just makes it more special.

Snow

Snow is a nuisance after January. I do not like snow at all, so when it continues into April I tend to hate it. Snow is fun to have around for Christmas but it needs to stop. By April it is spring, the trees need to bloom along with the flowers. That is not possible if it is still snowing. I do not want to be shoveling in the middle of March. When it gets later in the year it tends to be a wet snow which makes it harder to shovel. The snow is all compacted down and it is hard to get under and scoop it out, plus when it starts to melt it makes it even heavier to lift the water and the snow.

The Persont That I Admire the Most

There are so many people that I admire it is hard to choose just one. The person that I admire the most is my grandma. She died about four years ago on Thanksgiving. She had Ovarian Cancer. It was a sad when we found out, but she just kept going like it was no big thing. She defeated the cancer two time before it killed her. She was a strong person. I have never had cancer, and hope to not because I did see what it does to a person. I can see where it would really bring down a person. But my grandma just kept going. She was trying so hard to make it through Thanksgiving. She did not want it to be a bad Thanksgiving for us. No matter how much she tried it was not the best. She was home from the hospital because she wanted to be home. She was in a bed in the living room. It was hard because she could not eat so we all eat at different shifts so that she would not smell the food. After lunch me an my sister left to go to our other grandma’s. Later that night we got the phone call. It was a sad time. She was just an amazing person, who loved everyone.

How To Play Soccer

I can teach almost anybody how to play soccer. When I was little I wanted to play a sport. I had tried everything you can think of but I never really fell in love with a sport but when I played soccer I fell head over heels in love with the sport. I played soccer for 12 years of my life. I was on many teams before I was placed on this great team. We where unstoppable. We were the team to beat. From being on that team I lived and breathed soccer. I knew everything about it. I even knew what professional players where on what team. When I first started my parents did not know anything about the sport, so I had to teach them. Soccer was the best thing that happened to me. It became a family sport, and now it is the only sport that I know. That is why I can teach anybody how to play soccer or wants to know about the sport.

Advice For the Discouraged

My advice for the discouraged is to stick with it and keep going. I know that sometimes life can become overwhelming but you cannot just give up. It may not seem like it at the time but everything will get better. When I am so bombarded with homework all I want to do is curl up in my bed and watch a good movie. Then we I talk to my mom or dad they encourage to finish my homework. Most of the time when I take their advice and I do finish I feel a lot more free and happy. I never thought that when I was talking to my mom or dad that I would ever get done but once I did I realized that I just had to stick with it and get through it. So that is my advice to people who are going through a hard time, just stick with it and everything in the end will be okay. That is a quote that I remember reading on facebook, Everything will be okay in the end, if it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.

Decorating Easter Eggs

I love to decorate Easter eggs. Easter is my favorite holiday. One of the many things that I enjoy doing during Easter vacation is decorate Easter eggs. My sister complains that it takes too long to dye the egg, but I like to listen to music while I am dyeing mine. The time seems to go faster when you are concentrating on getting the perfect color. Most of the time I dye two sets of eggs. One with my dad and the other with my grandma. Both of them are very picky on how long they want the eggs in the dye. That is why my sister complains that it takes too long, but I enjoy just sitting there and spending time with my dad and grandma. My grandma likes to tell stories of when she was little and how they liked to dye the eggs. These are the many reasons that I like to dye Easter eggs.

My Mom Makes the Best ________

My mom makes the best pancakes. My dad is the chief in the family, so my mom really does not bake anything. When she does I think between my parents my mom makes the best pancakes. They are just right. Smooth and blended just right. Whereas my dad his are chunky and not the best in the world. My mom also makes the best goo losh in the world. She makes it two different ways. One is in the pan and one in the crock pot. The pan is the best because the noodles are just cooked right, on the other hand if she cooks it in the crock pot the noodles are too soft and they fall apart too easily. My dad does not even know how to make goo losh, so if I want that for supper I have to go to my moms. That is why I think my mom makes the best pancakes and goo losh in the world.

Words That I Like and Do Not Like

I really do not have any words that I like. I use most of them when I am talking but there is not a single one that use over and over. On the other hand, I have many words that I do not like. All of them are swear words. I do not know when swear words came into our everyday talking but it bothers me when I am talking to someone and every other word is a swear word. I do not like repeating them but if I messed up on something then I will use a version of the word. An example would be F*** and I would use fudge or something of that nature. I do not believe we need to be using those kinds of words in our language. To me using swear words just covers up that we do not have a big vocabulary and cannot find any other words. That is why I do not like swear words.

Favorite Story from My Childhood

When I was little I would read the Bernstein Bear book series. I did not have a particular one that was my favorite. I loved them all. Every night at bedtime my mom would come in and tuck me in and read a story. The books that she would always read where the Bernstein Bear book series. To this day I do not know why I loved those books so much. I think it had to do with the fact that I would sleep with a stuffed teddy bear at night. I would literally dream of my teddy being one of the Bernstein Bears kids. They were strange dreams. It was even better when the books came out on movies. I could have watched them for hours. That is why my favorite books from growing up are the Bernstein Bear series.
