My Birthday

My birthday is coming up on Oct 29. I want all my family to come to party. I want an Ipod touch for my birthday. I want my birthday to be at the zoo. I can't wait till my birthday!

School

Guess what! I am getting straight A's so far. I attend St. Ignatius of Loyola school and it's the best school ever . We have a really cool principal. I do a lot of things there like band. I play the drums and percussion. I am also joining chess club. I'm really good at chess! My favorite subjects are science and social studies. When I grow up, I want to be a shark expert or a snake expert. My favorite TV channel is Animal Planet.

I am Like a Dragon

I wrote a poem for school and my teacher entered it in a poetry contest. Guess what? I was selected as "one of high merit and chosen for publication." My poem will be published in a hard bound anthology called A Celebration of Poets. My poem will now be entered into a final competition where I can win a final award for the contest. Here is my poem:

I Am Like a Dragon

I am like a dragon

Strong and I never give up

I reach many heights I never thought I could

I stand alone in a dangerous fight

The fire comes out of my mouth

And guides me through the darkness of the night

I fly high to catch my dreams

I fly much higher than it seems

I swoop down and catch my prey

I am like a dragon

A Sick Tic

Lately, I have been having a stomach tic which causes me to throw up. I threw up about every 15 minutes for 1 1/2 days. It was horrible. My mom thought that I was going to have to go to the hospital to get an IV in my arm. Luckily, I feel better today. So, I'll tell you more about having Tourette Syndrome. It is very frustrating at times. It is sometimes embarrassing to be in public when I have tics. I feel like people are looking at me and laughing. But, I don't pay attention to them because this is the way God made me special.

Home Again

I am back home in Ohio with my mom, my cats, fish, hamster, and hermit crabs. It was fun at my Aunt Cathy's but there is nothing better than "Home, Sweet Home." On the way home, my Aunt Cathy had a tire blowout. It was totally shredded. It was a little scary but we got home safely. It took us 4 hours to get home. Now I look forward to more of Grandma's home cooked dinners. She is a really good cook!

If I had $100

If I had $100, I would put $10 in the bank and I would love to get a dog. I would probably get a male beagle. I would name it Ben. It would give me somebody to play with because I am an only child. I would buy it a bone and play fetch.

away from home

ive been away now for 3 days . its hard for a 11 year old boy to be away from home for so long whenever i have to hang up with my mom i cry. i have not been home alone for so long in my whole life.
