I Am A Totally Awesome Person

 I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.
I wonder what I am going to do next?
I hear the soft sound of the crashing waves along the the shore.
I see the fog as it rolls overhead.
I want all wars to end NOW!
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

I pretend that my best friends are my older and younger sisters.
I feel the hard wood of the pencil I'm holding.
I touch the rough round surface of a volleyball.
I worry about me half dead dog.
I cry for my dead pets.
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

I understand that i cant help everyone
I say, 'all's fair in love and war.'
I dream about how I will travel the world.
I try to take more responsibility for my self.
I hope I'll improve my grades.
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

my best memory this summer

My best summer memory was the second day of Zoe's yard/bake sale.
I spent the night knowing that I was going to help bake cupcakes, brownies, and cookies for Zoe's bake sale the next morning. The scent of freshly baked treats filled the room as we cooked. We made them one at a time. Zoe's mom started the cookies, while Zoe made the delicious vanilla  cupcakes, and I made the chocolate brownies. It didn't take very long and soon all we had to do was sit and wait for morning to come. That night we all slept real well, so in the morning we were all rested and ready to set up for the bake/yard sale. While Zoe's mom set up a line that we could hang the clothes on, Zoe and I walked through the freezing wind as it hit our faces and started taping up signs everywhere. By the time we got back all we had to do was set up the book/ toy table and the bake sale. We didn't put the baked goods out until the very last minute because the air felt damp, and the blue sky was gray with rain clouds that looked like they would drop rain any second. fortunately, they never did, so Zoe and I kept selling and by the end of the day, we successfully sold a lot of treats and a few things from the yard sale.
