Observations of the Park



Round and Round on the Merry-go-round

On the merry-go-round there’s a wide variety of fun lovers.

There are the spinners and the riders
The fast and the slow goers

The big kids who can run and spin it fast
Then the little ones who only ride when it’s slow

The biggest kids are often the parents
Who are begged to run and push and play
Because they can spin it the very fastest
They make it fun for everyone.

Now the list that keeps pestering my brain goes something like this… I want to… Be asked to go to prom Be swept off my feat by ...

Well, this month has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me. Sort of like as soon as you get off of a really amazing ride when you can’t really walk straight and all you can say is wow. I have learned so much it’s fantastic! I learned that Tennessee is a pretty cool place to go on vacation, and if you stay where we did they have a pretty cool water park. I’m learning how important communication is. I have been writing so many letters and talking to dear friends so much lately it’s great! Also how to balance my schedule so I can be sure to get my work done and have fun too. I’m slowly figuring out where I want to go to college and what to major in. I know what I want to do but how to get there is looking like it will take some more time to learn. I ...
