My Goals For Writing

  • In my next essay, use more text evidence, and relate back to the story more.
  • Next time I free write, write a fictional story.
  • Use 3 words from the class list on moodle in each piece.
  • In my next piece correctly use a semicolon.
  • Next time I write, try to write something other than a poem.

Remembering Her

Author's Note: Last night my family and I were watching videos from when we were younger. It was so funny to see what I was like from different eyes. Different parts made me remember the real thing, like some toy that I loved. It was really refreshing, I guess you could say, and this is what I reflected on from it.

Bringing back old times,  trying to go there, and remember. Watching yourself on the screen, a person you don’t know anymore. Someone so remarkable. You want to be them again, but all you can do is laugh at how wonderful they were. A faint silhouette is still there, but a different light is now shining. The person on the screen or in the pictures, seems so much better, stronger. They laugh and jump and dance. Running around in circles, till you don’t see them. They fell down from dizziness, the dizziness of the joy of their life. They pop back up, start spinning again, never to stop. Saying the funniest things. Doing the funniest actions. 

I wish... 

I was her again.

    That was really good. I could connect to what you are saying because you've told me so many stories about you when you were little. That made me remember of when I was little. Little kids are fearless and don't care what people think. I agree with you. And I miss you :( come home.

    I really liked this Erin. It relates to how a lot of people feel now that they are getting older. When we were little all we had wanted to do was grow up, and now that we are starting to approach the time in our lives where he have to grow up, all we want is to be little again. Nice job on this. And I agree with Derek. Spinning is fun :)
