 There are many people and items that are very comforting to me. The main thing that is comforting is of course volleyball. When I'm in a bad situation or a bad mood all I have to do is play a little volleyball and I'll be fine! Another thing that is my comforter is my best friend Norae. She's always here for me like the one time I was nervous for our history test. She gave me a long speech about how I will do great I just need to stop thinking about it so much. I felt so much better going in to the test because of her. Food is also a comfort. I mean, who doesn't love food? When you're sad or mad all you have to do is eat some of your favorite foods and you're instantly happy. It just makes me feel good to eat something delicious. It has never failed me. Last, but certainly not least, music is a big comforter. It helps me take my mind off of everyone and everything. Music also makes me focus much more when I'm listening to it. What would I do with out these things? I don't want to ever know.

my name

 Sarah is what I'm named.
 I often feel ashamed.
 Though it means I'm a princess,
 it does not cope with my senses.
 Millions and I have this name.
 And its not that I don't like being the same,
 I just like to be unique
 like my sense of style, which happens to be chic.

 Alena falls in the middle
 although it may be little.
 I, like my name, stand tall and strong (personi.)
 since I've been hurt for so long.
 Uh-lean-uh, as it is pronounced.
 I'm not ashamed for this to be announced.
As the song "Lean on me when you're not strong,
 and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on."
 As Bill Withers would sing.
 I'm only a phone call away, so give me a ring.

 Last, but certainly not least.
 My last name is the final piece. (Metaphor)
 It has 10 unique letters
 that wrap around you like warm sweaters. (Simile)
 Leighliter is different 
 But yet I'm very content. 

Chickens, Horse, or Cow?

If I had to choose between a cow, a dozen chickens, and a horse 2000 years ago, I think I would choose 12 dozen chickens. One reason I would choose the dozen of chickens is because since you have so many of them you can breed them and make them have more. Also, they hatch eggs. Not only can you have chicken for dinner, you could have eggs also! Another reason that I would choose this is since 2000 years ago they used to sell their child's marriage to someone with chickens, I could get a husband. All I would have to do is give them 6 chickens. If I had the dozen of chickens I could also sell some of my chickens to get another animal to eat or other supplies. If I chose the cow it would not last very long. If I chose the horse, it would only help getting around because nobody really wants to eat a horse. The only bad reason about choosing the dozen of chickens is that in the middle of the night if you put male chickens together they might create a clamor and cock fights. Besides that negative fact, there are many reasons why I would choose the dozen chickens.

Journal #17

  There I was, happy as could be, hanging on the store's wall. Whenever someone walked through the doors we knew our fate was in their hands. Today, I had a strange feeling that it was my time to leave this wall. I didn't want to leave my home. I also didn't want to be hammered by little kids. I actually love my life and want to live. As the lady  was trudging through the halls towards a couple of my friends and I, I knew this was it. This was going to be my last day on this wall. The last time I'm going to see my friends. The last time im going to be happy. I wish I could grow legs and run away from this mess. The lady came to a stop and started to look around at all of us with a confused look. At first, she grabbed my friend, but she put him back because he was too small. She then grabbed me quickly off the wall and walked me to the cash register. I was so scared for my life that I fainted. When I woke up all I saw were kids running around screaming "Piñata time! Piñata time!"  The next thing I knew, I saw a bat come towards me and all I saw was a bright light and my life flash before my eyes..
