Award Ceremony

Earlier in the year, my best friend, Catheryn Anderson, and I took the ACT test. We were really nervous to be taking such an important test. What made us feel better was the fact that we were taking a test that was made for high scholars to test them for college. It was very intimidating to see all of the juniors and seniors getting ready to take the test at the same time as us. The test was very long. It took almost four hours to get through. The subjects on it were regular subjects but it was all based on topics that we hadn't learned at the time. After the test, we were excited to see our results. Four weeks later, we both got a letter in the mail. It was our ACT scores. I was very nervous to see my results, but my mom encouraged me to open the envelope anyway. I opened the brown packet and took a short peek at my composite score. I was expecting something like a thirteen, but I looked at the paper and saw that I had gotten a 24! My parents were so proud of me and Cat for getting such amazing scores. Now we have been invited to attend an award ceremony for intelligent individuals down at Drury University on May 18. We will receive papers acknowledging our incredible accomplishments. We are very proud of ourselves and cannot wait to be recognized for our scores. The best part is that I get to go down with my best friend and share the amazing experience with her.

Smarticle Particles

My best friend, Catheryn Anderson, and I have just been informed that we have been invited to the Drury Summerscape camp! We were told that our high GPA and our outstanding scores on the ACT test that we took a couple of months ago were what got us in. We asked our parents about the trip down to Drury University and after a long discussion with both families, they finally decided to let us attend. We were thrilled! The trip is eleven days long so it will be the longest time we have ever spent together away from home. We will be staying in the dorms on campus and will attend two classes every day. The morning class will be Movie Classics. We will learn about the movies that have played in the past. Our second class will be in the evening. The class we chose to take is a CSI course. We will be investigating the murder of a person and trying to solve the case. Both of us are extremely thrilled to be invited to such an amazing camp. Our parents are very proud of us for exceeding the qualifications needed to go on this trip. Going on this trip will give me the responsibility that I have wanted for a very long time. The best part is that I will be spending the whole time with my best friend. I can't wait!

My Favorite Teacher


This Picture From

My favorite teacher is my advanced English teacher Mrs. Sears. I appreciate Mrs. Sears because she is always on task but still allows the class to have fun during our lessons. She helps me out with anything I am having issues with without any hesitation at all. She is down to earth and understands when I need help and offers it willingly. She teaches in a very unique way that most teachers don't; she has fun. during our lessons she will randomly bring up a story that relates to the subject we are learning, but she always manages to get back on task without any issues. Mrs. Sears also lets her classes do individual work which is my preference when doing English assignments. All in all, Mrs. Sears is a fun loving, intelligent, down to earth teacher and I will never forget how helpful she is or how much she has contributed to my schooling.

Pictures at my Dance Studio

Every year my dance studio takes our pictures in our dance uniforms. We always hire Fast Photo to come to the studio for a week in May and take group photos, single photos, and double photos. The costumes this year looked really good so we decided to take more than normal. We took many photos of each costume and then it was our time to take our individuals. I took a picture with my friend Summer in a very "different" costume. Then I took some individuals of me in a very large tutu. They turned out great and every dancer was very excited to see that our pictures this year were good.
