Waffles or pancakes
Waffles or pancakes is a hard question because I like them both. I like pancakes because they are nice and fluffy and easy to eat. Waffles on the other hand are crispier but still soft enough to eat. I love them both it would be hard for me to choose between the two. On mornings when we have nothing going on my parents will make a good breakfast. They always make both because my sister and I can never decide which one we want more. I do know however know what they would be served with and that is strawberries. I love strawberries and when you add them to the top of pancakes or waffles it just makes it that much better. I love both waffles and pancakes and that is why I would have to choose both.

Brand name vs. Generic
To me it does not matter where it is generic or the brand name. For me I get whatever is cheaper because I cannot tell the difference between the two. For food there is no difference it is the same thing. However, you can tell the difference between fat free and the original. It does not matter to me for clothes. I find what fits and looks cute. I do not go to a specific store just to buy their clothes. But I do shop more at American Eagle just because their jeans fit me better than most stores. I do make an exception when it comes to medication. From my experience I think that the brand name works faster. The generic does work but it takes a lot longer for it to work. When I am sick I want to get better right away so I do take the brand name medication. Other than medication, generic and brand names do not matter to me.

When I was not happy
At the time, I was not happy but now I am okay with how things turned out. Every time I and my family try to go visit our friends in England, something always goes wrong. The first time that we planned a trip my dad called every day to make sure that our tickets were correct and that we were sitting together. Well when we got to the airport, the person at the front desk said we had no tickets. We were booked for the flight but we had no tickets. My sister and I were not every happy. We were looking forward to seeing our friends. In the end we got the tickets and we arrived in England safe. The second time was just as bad, but we ended up going. Both times I was not happy but everything turned out alright in the end.

Why I want this semester to be over
I am looking forward to the semester beginning over so that I can go home and not have to worry about homework or classes for awhile. I love school but I am human and need a break. This summer I know that I am going to have to work but I will not have the stress of school with me. Plus I am really looking forward to this summer and spending time at our lake house. We bought a brand new pontoon and I cannot wait to get it out on the water. Plus jet skiing is a lot of fun. I love going to our lake house because it allows me to have fun with my family. That is why I am looking forward to this semester being over.

Moral to a story
Have you ever been thinking about an answer to the question and never really got the answer until someone else said it, and then you’re like “duh, I knew that”. My family has a saying for when something like that happens. It is “Who built the beaver dam”? This all come from my mom was little and when my grandpa came back one day from looking the cows over in the pasture. Well there was not a lot of water running from the top of the river and that was because the beavers had built some dams. When my grandpa got back from the river, he was cussing out the dams. My mom’s aunt asks “Well who built the beaver dam”? From what the story goes everybody just stops and looks at her like if she seriously asked that question. My aunt not realizing what happened, say innocently “The beaver.” The moral to the story is the answer is a simple as a beaver and not to look too hard for it.

Why you should stay off line
I think why people should stay off line is that you are never sure what is out there. For young children it can be a dangerous place. There are people out there trying to take advantage of the children. You hear in the news that a little kid was killed by someone who they met on line. Other times people will steal your identity. Both of these can be very harmful to all the people involved. For me I am not to worried about it for my sake but I am worried about it for my sister. She can be trusting at times and I know that eventually it is going to hurt her. The problem that I have with the internet is that I get way to distracted during class. This is especially true in my math class. I just get on and I cannot get off. For me it is addicting.

A book you should really read
A book that everybody should read is The Truth About Forever. It is my all time favorite books. I have read it over and over. Every time that I read it I find something new about it. It is about a girl who witnesses her dad’s death and her growing up with her mom. She never sees her mom and how she takes on a new job and having to deal with relationships. When I first read it I thought it was all about this girl but then as I was reading I found that there is a bigger meaning to the book. It speaks about forever and how we should live each moment. I love when books have a story but then you find out that there is a message. That is why I believe that everyone should read The Truth About Forever.

A Place That I Would Like To Visit
A place that I would really love to visit would be New York. I have always been fascinated by the tall buildings and Time Square. It looks like a nice place to be. When I go there I would really love to see Rent on Broadway. I love musicals, partly because I was in all of them in high school. Rent is my all time favorite musical, so I would love to see it on stage. I think it would be just wonderful if I could. If I could not see Rent the other one would have to be Hairspray. I am really into watching that musical right now. I watch either one every night. They seem to be complete opposites but they are interesting and they keep my focus through the entire movie. I would love to see either one on Broadway. That would be my main reason to visit New York but the other would be to sight see and to shop.

My Favorite Pie
My favorite pie would be apple. It is the most commonly know pie but the best tasting. I especially enjoy it with it just comes out of the oven and it is still nice and warm. It just seems to melt in your mouth. There are many ways out there to make apple pie but I think the best is when my grandma makes it. The crust it just crumbly enough so that it is not rock hard but yet it does not fall apart. The center is just the right gooey. There is enough apples to fill you up but there is still a fill to it that makes it seem to come together. Apple pie also leaves the best after taste in your mouth, unlike pumpkin pie. The smell of apple pie when it is baking is just heavenly. That is why my favorite pie is apple.

Farthest Place I Have Been
The farthest place that I have been is England. I have been there twice with my family. The first time was when I was in the eighth grade, then again in the tenth. Both times we stayed our friends who live there. I love England. I think it is one of the most beautiful places, especially when you get into the country side. When I was over there I had the change to visit many different sights. A couple where York, Annick castle (where the Harry Potters movies are filmed), and Newcastle. My favorite place though would have to be Holy Island. You can only reach the Island when the tide is out. If you do not leave before the tide comes in then you are stuck on the Island at night. The island is tiny but there is a lot to. Little shops sit down in the country side while a castle sits on top of the hill. Along with going to all these places, we still had time to take in a football (our soccer) game. There is so much to see and do in England, that is why it is one of my favorite places.

My Favorite Gift I Recieived
A favorite gift I have received would have to be my teddy bear. Nineteen years ago when I was eight months old, I had to have surgery. It was a huge and important surgery. My soft spot prematurely closed, which means half of my head was growing and the other half was not. They had to go in a break the bones in my head. It was an eight hour surgery, but I was going to be okay. When I came out of surgery I could not see. My mom’s work gave me flowers and a teddy bear. The bear had a tag on it and from what my mom told me, I would twist the tag. I would only play with that teddy bear from what I am told. I still have my teddy with me.
