What can I contribute as an older sibling?

I could help out with the little kids, by helping the smaller ones get dress
I could help out with the cleaning, giving mom a helping hand
I could help mom in school, do my work in a timely manner
I could help wash the dishes, on my day of dish duty
I could help by doing my chore,
I could be nice to Andrianna,
I could stop hitting Emily,
I could stop calling Jonathan names,
I could stop messing with Marcia and her non-boobs,
and I could help mom out a little more.

As a Christian Pre-teen How do I Feel About Halloween?

I really don't not like Halloween, it just were it come from, what it was really about and how we took it. I like the candy if we buy it, if somebody gives it to me and I know the person I'll take it, but if I don't know the person I wont take it. I feel that Halloween isn't safe because what if somebody puts poison in the candy? You could DIE! I like some parts of Halloween because I can were make-up and some of those scary teeth and the vampire capes and the pumpkins and the black cats and the crafts and the candy.

How does my attitude affect my environment?

In order for me to answer this question and honestly, I'll do an intervew with my siblings.



This is what Marcia, my four-year-old sister said about me: "I like Tiffany 'cause she lets me play with her dolls."
Then I talked to my sister Emily, age 6. The question went like this:
"Emily, do you like me?"
"No."
"Well, I don't like you either."
"Okay, I do like you because you shared some of your ice cream with me."
Now it's Andrianna's turn (8 years):
"Do you like me?"
"Ya."
"What is is about me thath you like?"
"..." (dazed)
"Andrianna?"
"Huh?"
"What do you like about me?"
That you go outside and play with me, and you're a cool big sister!"
Then I asked my older sister, Ashley, age 16. Here's what she said:
"What is is that you like about me?"
"You're good at listening when I have problems, and you don't tell my secrets (often). And you can (occasionally) be funny."
"What is it about me that you don't like?"
"Sometimes you can be very obnoxious, and you sometimes bully others. I wonder if you have a split personality...?"
Then I asked my brother Jonathan, age 11:
"What do you like about me?"
"You're my sister, you play with me and share things with me."
"What don't you like about me?"
"You're mean."
Then it was James, age 2:
"What do like about me, James?"
"Can I play Boohbah?"
"What don't you like about me?"
"Boohbah."
By saying this, he meant that I'm like a Boohbah; soft and squishy, and he likes to cuddle with me.
Then I interviewed my dad:
"What do you like about me?"
"Nothing."
"What is it about me that you don't like?"
"You whine a lot."
Now it's (finally) mom's turn: "What is it about me that you like?"
"Well, you're my daughter, and I love all my children. But what I like most about you is that you have very high self-esteem, and you don't let what people say about you affect you to the point where you go and sulk."
"What don't you like about me?"
"It's when I ask you to clean up and you whine and pout, and then when you finally get it done, it takes an hour (exaggeration). And the other thing-it's not that I don't like it about you, it's just that I'm concerned- is that you're a little overweight. But I'm working with you and we're going to get your weight under control."

What I think about what everyone said:
I believe I need to change my actions.

Homeschooled

Let me start off by saying my first year of school started in public school. I was a preschooler. My teacher's name was Ms. Johnson and I loved her. I didn't like school then and I still don't. There were these two boys in my class named Kwamee and Avery and they were my friends. All I remember is that we played alot of games and cut out letters. I got out of public school when I was in kindergarten.

My first two years of homeschool were excellent; I was a hard worker. But when I got to the second grade, I slowed up. My mom had just had her 6th child and she seemed to lose all her organization skills. It was hard for her to re-adjust. In the third grade I fell behind because of a family crisis. But now that I'm in the seventh grade, I'm catching back up and my favorite subjects are history, art and spelling. I'm getting better at spelling now, because at first I was terrible. Math still stinks, but I'm willing to try and get better at it. I'm enjoying homeschooling thus far; I already know what I'll major when I grow up, but I really don't want to go back to public school. I enjoy homeschooling because of the free style of learning.

Who Am I?

I am a teen girl with an attitude like a bull, I am beautiful, I am very hot tempered, I am a queen, I am bold, I am not scared of (Almost) any thing, I am a geek, I am a lovable person, I am good at history, I am a cool girl with a pretty smile.

Open Journal.

My mom gave me and my sister, Ashley, a composition book and I was like, "What the dink is that?!" And she was like, "Its an open journal." And she said it all slow and scary like one of those funny T.V. shows. The first time she got it was in January ( this year ) and the first question was, 'What Church Means to Me', and my answer was 'Jesus and the Pastor'. The rest is nothing but 'What's in the News Today' and the second time I got it was in September. I'm not gonna put the first ones in; only this one: 'How do you learn to live with an older sibling that's perfect?' So I put, 'We all have older siblings and they're all perfect, but the best thing to do is out - perfect them, you're younger, smarter, and cuter so its easy to get on your parents' good side.' And mom puts little comments on them, and the one she put on that one was so..... mom. 'All older siblings are not perfect; actually no one is but JESUS. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. I love the positive attitude you have, stay that way. You could have written a little more but its OKAY.' And when I read it I was like "WHAT?" And when I showed it to her I was like "WHAT?" And she smiled that mom smile. It was very scary.

This blog is about school. And that is exactly what the title means, what does it means you may ask? It means Why does school have to be so hard? Why can't it be easy like history and food? Yes, that says it all. The first reason I don't get school is because 1) I hate math and spelling. 2) My mom is very... very... mom. 3) My big sister is so big sister. 4) My dad is the principal 5) the small space that is considered our work area. 6) my schedule
