S is for School

"Emelie, it's your first day back to schoool, GET UP!" I heard a voice scream up to me. I shoved my head under my pillow, and pulled the covers up to my ears, hoping that I wouldn't hear that voice again. Unfortunately I did, and eventually HAD to get up so that I was not late for my very first day back at school.



Summer is over, and school is starting. Some disapointing words after you just had an amazing summer.

There are many things that happen at school. The first thing that most people think of when they hear the word school, is HOMEWORK. But there is way more than just homework going on at school. At my school, there are many activities you can do. Like sports and choir, things like that. And the sports switch up every term.

First term, I never really got into sports, but I can choose from field hockey, basketball or cross country. I'm either trying field hockey or basketball..I'm supposed to play basketball with my best friend...but I don't really know if I want to. I also take part in the choir every term. It's a lot of fun.
Second term, I play volleyball. It's a lot of fun! We travel to all kinds of schools to play them. We may not be the best team, but we have fun playing the games.
And finally third term, I play soccer. I used to be a part of the track team, but I decided to switch it up and try soccer. It is a lot of fun, especially since we're a big team.

The thing with doing extra things at school, is that I have to be careful with what I choose, so that I can balance it with all of my homework. Falling behind in school wouldn't be fun. So, school always comes first.

So besides all of the homework that we think of when it comes to school, there are things like I mentioned above that you can participate in at school. Another thing I can't forget are FRIENDS. There are lots of people to hang out with and talk to. So really school isn't all that boring.

But it seems to fly by..

"Emelie, did you remember to get everything out of your locker?" My mom asked as we walked out of the school. It is now Summer, I realized!

Life Lesson: Make the best out of something, there are always ways to make certain activities fun.

D is for Dogs!

"EMELIE, I told you to take the new puppy outside..now we have to clean this nasty mess up!" "Ewww" I thought to myself. But of course I had to clean it up anways.







When you first get a puppy, little accidents like the one above are expected. Usually for the first little while that happens quite a bit..until they are "potty trained." Some things may get chewed, like from my experience with having puppies I know that a lot of things get chewed. My puppies chewed my phone, my converter, my sisters glasses, the island in my kitchen and many other things. Puppies are a big responsibility.







If you want a puppy, you have to be willing to care for it, you need to keep it's health up and make sure it receives all of the shots/vaccinations that it requires. Dogs have to be fed, given water, brushed, walked and loved. All of those things are important when it comes to dogs!





I have two dogs myself. One is a boxer, he was the first pet that I had ever had. I got him when I was in Grade three, which means he is now 4 years old. His name is Max. Max is such a loving dog, but usually peoples first impression is that he is scary, and they don't want to meet him. Max is allergic to all dog foods so he requires a lot of attention. Now, you must be thinking "what in the world does the dog eat if he's allergic to dog food?" Well he it's plain white rice, and we usually mix in some other things.


I also have another dog, she is a bulldog. Her name is Sophie, she came second. She came when I was in Grade 4, which means that she is 3 years old. Now when it comes to first impressions of Sophie people think she is the cutest dog ever, because she is so little. But they have that wrong, Sophie is very mean to people she does not know, but once she gets used to you she isn't as mean. Sophie isn't allergic to dog food like Max is, but we thought it would be easier if they both ate the same kind of food.





Max and Sophie are my doggies and they are very adorable, and my family and I love them dearly! Although sometimes we get lazy and don't feel like walking them, we know it has to be done because we took the responsibility of owning two dogs.





"Emelie, let the dogs out to go to the washroom!" My mother shouted from her bedroom. "Thank goodness they are "potty trained" I thought to myself!





Life Lesson: Think about the responsibilities and consequences before you do something!
