went to my grandma's house. Most of my cousins were there, my aunt's, brother, and my grandma. When we go to her house for any event we most likely will spend the night with all of our cousins. My older cousin,Savanna is one month older than me and the oldest of the young teens. Savanna is a very supervising person and always thinks she is everyone's parent or in charge and has always been like that. And it has always bothered me since we were little. This Thanksgiving my three cousins Naviea,…

that shouldn’t be taken. Another way I could make a responsible decision is by being careful. An example I could do to be careful is by not following the path of my great uncle or cousin took. I wouldn't sleep in my car if I was waiting for my job. I would go home take a nap so then I could go to work. If I was trying to defend my friend I would stay indoors if the guy looks suspicious. I might not know if he would be armed. Being careful is important to me because actions have different…

Over summer I went with some friends to the Johnson Shut-ins in Missouri. It was the first time I went camping in years and it was one of the coolest trips I’ve ever been on. It started with the drive which was about two and a half hours through isolated roads which eventually got kind of creepy because we were in the middle of nowhere, every house had confederate flags posted, and we were running out of gas. We finally found the place and found our campground and we wanted to find out what the…

We had funny moments about everyday, I would have some animal fact and I would tell my family and they would all just start…

In the early summer of 2015 my mom, sister and I went to a family reunion in Huntsville Alabama. This was the second family reunion that I had been to in my life. I was happy to go up and see family that I had never seen before or heard about. Who knew that I had family in the state of Alabama? The first night of the reunion, my cousins and I were just hanging out talking about sports and the town that they live in. We were driving around the town and Shaun had mentioned going to the Mall the…

occurrence in my life because I have never flew by plane before. We needed to leave our house around midnight to we could get to the airport just in time for our flight.

We were just about to miss it when the manager saw us and told the flight attendants to wait. We boarded our plane and I immediately fell asleep, for…
