Burnin Up

Hey! Said Alyssa lets go on a Krispy-Kreme run!

Okay! I said

We were at the state basketball games in Provo. The Drill Team was staying at the La Quinta right across the street from Krispy Kreme. It was about 6:00 in the morning when we decided to take a trip across the parking lot (with no permission from the coach) and go to Krispy Kreme. As Alyssa and I made it back to the hotel, doughnuts in hand we realized that the rest of the team was ready to go. Oh Crap! We ran up to our room and put on our outfits to perform in, while doing our hair and make-up. We realized that day that we are amazing multi-taskers.  But in the process of this hair, make-up and getting dressed fiasco, I ended up getting a massive burn from the straightener on my arm. Even after all that we finally made it out to the bus on time and was ready to go to  UVU and watch some basketball!

Me as a Writer

                                                                       Me as a Writer



The first time I can remember writing was in third grade. We had our own journals which we had to write letters to our parents in. In my letter I wrote about the usual, school, friends, and love interests. What I forgot to put on my paper was my name. Little did I know that when Mrs. Labrum found a paper that didn’t have a name on it, she read it out loud. So after we got back from recess, she read the papers out loud and everybody found out who I was crushing on.  To add to the embarrassment, I still had to walk in front of the class and retrieve my paper. That’s about when I started not to enjoy writing.

Throughout elementary and most of jr. High I really didn’t care about writing. All I did is what I needed to get a passing paper. Until one day in Mrs. Card’s class, she assigned us a paper in which we had to write about a turning point in our lives. This paper helped me in many different ways and changed how I felt about writing papers.

Now I enjoy writing papers. My favorite paper I have written so far is my research paper. When I write I have to have something going whether it be my T.V. or my iPod. I usually write my whole paper in one sitting and that’s probably just because I procrastinate pretty badly. I don’t enjoy reading any of my papers out loud because I feel like people are judging me. My writing can improve, and I expect for it to improve through the rest of high school, and the many years of college.
