My favorite sense is my sense of hearing.  With it I’m able to hear fire alarms.  With it I’m able to listen to awesome music.  Sometimes I’m able to hear complements and praise.  Those are just a few of the reasons why my  favorite sense just has to be my absolute favorite sense is my sense of hearing.

Another reason hearing is my favorite sense is hearing is that without sight I would still be able to hear people teach me to talk but without hearing people would have to write down everything or use sign language to talk to me.  Another reason is without having touch I would burn myself but with hearing I would have someone tell me something’s hot but without hearing I would get very badly burned.  Without being able to smell people could describe the smell so vividly than without being able to hear.  Without hearing I wouldn’t be able to have people describe what things taste like if I lost all my other senses.  I hope you have learned that hearing and all other senses are wonderful and shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Tim Tebow: a Real  Life Hero

He darts across the fresh cut green grass.  He humbly receives the Heisman Award.  Who is he?  Tim Tebow.  He is my hero because he is a leader, shows his faith, and gives back.

I know everyone thinks oh he was lucky and yeh yeh yeh.  Well what he calls it is blessed.  He leaped towards his dreams of sports, especially football, and by his faith he was able to do so.  He has always tried to be his best and not just on the football field.  Also his strong love of others has gotten him very far.

He is also a leader.  Even though the NFL did not want words on eye marks because it was claimed a “distraction” he still wore them with his favorite verse, John 3:16 written on them.  Also every touchdown he gives credit to God, not himself.  He realizes that without God, he wouldn’t be able to play football as well as he can now, such as anyone wouldn’t be able to do anything without God.  Also he started “tebowing” which is one of the other ways he gives credit to God.

He is also very passionate about others because he created the W15h foundation to fulfill children with life threatening illnesses lives.  Also since he was a young boy he would always go on mission trips with his family to the Philippines, and helped the children and families there that had virtually nothing such as food, water, and they had rags for clothing.

He’s a leader.  He gives back.  He’s Tim Tebow.

I step onto a grassy field,
wet with morning dew.
Our rivalries in red are warming up.
A ball skips into the goal,
swish.

We greet coach.
“We can do this”.
I taste blue gatorade.
I’m restless.
We cascade onto the field.

Swish.
A ball goes in the net,
by our player.
This time it counts.
Their goalie frowns.
We jump up and down.

The game is over.
Done and won.
We won.

I walk,
see several toddlers in coral uniforms,
kicking the ball.
That’s what it’s all about.

I cry,
an endless cry.
A river stream, endless stream,
like the Rio Grande.

Leaves fall,
I inhale chilly air.
My tears frost,
like rivers freezing.
Cold, icy, tears pour down,
my cold, red, face.

I feel like running.
Flying away,
fly into thick trees and brush.

Nature is marvelous,
comfort.
Where I belong.

Why were we placed in a cruel world,
not here?
Why not a magical place,
where leaves crunch?

Why not a mysterious place?
having adventures around every corner?
Why not a place without sadness,
a place to be happy.

Has anybody heard the One Direction song One Thing? It is the best song ever!(;

“Ding Dong!” the doorbell rang. There was Haley standing by the door. We smiled at each other and headed down the hall into the garage. “Hurry!”, my mom yelled, “we need to pick up the boys!”. It was 11:25 and we had to pick them up before 11:30.
                                                                      ♥
They got picked up and an argument soon arose, where to eat. “Chick Fl A!” cried Haley, “Whataburger!” yelled Cantrelle in a panic, “Taco Bueno!” screamed Dalton. We finally decided on Chee-Burger.
                                                                       ♥
We all got shakes, and of course, Grant and Cantrelle got the one pound burger! Everyone ate but they couldn’t even their entire halves! I looked at my friends with the shining 50’s decor behind them and smiled as I thought about how lucky I was to have such funny friends as them!

                                                                       ♥

We were singing and dancing as I looked up at the sun in the middle of the sky. “If I were your boyfriend,”everyone squealed in a girly voice. We were nearly to the cinema.
                                                                       ♥
“Look at this candy machine!” Dalton, Cantrelle, and Haley hollered across the theatre lobby. I went over there to tell them to quiet down and that was when I saw it! It was so neat! It had a touch screen with glowing candy selection buttons! I made my way over to the shining purple wonka machine and selected my candy. I ran into the theatre and greeted my friends on the front row!
                                                                     ♥
“Happy Hunger Games,” ringed Effie Trinket, “and may the odds be ever in your favor!” It had just begun!

We watched nearly all of the movie and then came the part with the dogs. They popped out and Grant popped up right into mid-air too! He randomly started raising his arm up and down akwardly. He was scared to death! I smiled and laughed as I thought, life’s not the breath you take but the moments that take your breath away!
                                                                     ♥
“Splash!” everyone jumped in the pool. We all waved under water with pink fluorescent light on and smiled!

Sadly summers over, but let’s kick off a great start to 2012-2013 school year!!:)
