A little while ago me and my Language arts class had to write a biography about a famous person who died and I chose J.R.R. Tolkien. It tortured me to have to pick up a pencil and write the rough draft. Don't get me wrong, I love writing, but with a pencil is just too much. It hurts my hand. So I procrastinated and held it off for a while until my parents found out and told me I HAD to finish. So I did and I turned it in thinking "Yeah it's OK..."
When I got home my mom was standing on the deck talking on the phone. When she came back in she said "You know who I was talking to?" It was my Language arts teacher calling to ask my mom if I had copied from a book on my report. When my mom said that I felt really scared and was so worried that I was in BIG trouble. When she told my teacher she didn't know, my teacher said that she had checked out the book I used for research and I had not copied anything. She then asked if my mom had written it, and mommy said no. You know what my teacher said then? That my choice of words and sentence structure were amazing, that I really have a gift and that I should continue on and keep getting better. She thought that I was really good! Mommy said that my teacher was relieved that it was my work and that she was excited that I could write so well. OH MY CHEESE!!! Mom called Grandma Henderson and Cami to tell them the news, and Cami said that some day I'm gonna "go put Twilight to shame"! YEAH!!!
Mommy also said that today she went to this craft store and saw a tile that said in Vinyl lettering: "Don't make me use my wand!" How cool!! I want it! Anyway, really great day! I feel so proud! Mommy took us to Artic Circle to get a shake to celebrate!
