My
name is Kathleen. I am 14 years old. I have brown hair and
green eyes. Elkins Pointe is my middle school. My friends
and I are in the eighth grade. Japanese and Chorus are two
of my most interesting classes. This is a typical Friday
of my life. The only unusual thing I do today is go to a
dance. I think we will have a lot of fun.
I woke up, like every morning, at seven fifteen. My dog,
Kali, slept in my room so I had to take her out this morning.
Then I ate breakfast. It was Frosted Flakes. When I got
back inside I picked out my clothes for the day. I decided
to wear a gray shirt and jeans. I then brushed my teeth
and hair. Washing my face is what I did next. I had to make
my lunch after that. I always make my lunch in the morning.
It was water, a peanut butter sandwich, and some chips.
It was now 7:50 and I had nothing to do. I have to read
two books a semester for my language arts class so I read.
At 8:05 I went to wait for the bus. My bus stop is at the
end of my driveway. I am very lucky that my bus picks me
up at my driveway. The bus came to my house at 8:20.
I got to school a little late. I didn't get into trouble
because I rode the bus. We all watched the morning announcements
on the television. The principal and two students went in
a room in the library to say the pledge. Then they said
any announcements that they had. After that I went to team
time. This is a class for 15 minutes that helps people with
math. No one likes this class, not even our team time teacher.
Following team time I had Georgia Studies. I am in TAG social
studies. It is fifty-four minutes. My teacher's name is
Mrs. Atkins. She is very nice and I had her last year too.
Georgia Studies can be really boring sometimes. I leave
that class at 10:10. Next I had Japanese class.
I like my Japanese class. Today I got to work on this project.
We took pictures My teacher's name is Mrs. Johnson. She
has been teaching us for two years. Our class is really
small. We only have ten people. We all know each other well
and went to the same elementary school. This spring break
five of us are going to Japan for spring break. It will
be really fun because two of my best friends are going.
This class is also fifty-four minutes long. I wish it were
longer. It ends at 11:05. Then I go to L.A.
My L.A. class is hard. My teacher's name is Ms. Springman.
In the beginning of the year I thought she was mean but
now she is nice. We had to read two books last semester
and again this semester. In addition to that we have to
read two books out of class. We just started a new book.
At 12:00 we went to lunch. After that we went to connections.
I have health for my first connection. My teacher's name
is Ms. Shall. She is really nice and I have had her for
three years. Today is Friday so I didn't have health. Every
Thursday we have 5th period for both connections. Then on
Friday we have 6th period for both connections. This is
called block scheduling.
I had chorus today. My teacher's name is Mrs. Whitten. She
has taught me for three years. This class is really fun.
We sing most of the time. If we aren't singing we are writing
an essay or working on the computer. I don't like writing
essays in chorus. After chorus I went to math. My teacher's
name is Mrs. Copeland. We have only had her for half of
a year. This class is also TAG. We work really hard. After
math I had Science. Mr. Schumaker is my teacher. He is really
funny and nice. We do lots of labs in that class. We made
ice cream today. It was fun. At 3:40 school is let out.
I went and got on the bus. Katie and Alex ride my bus. We
talked the whole time. Then I got home.
I had to get ready for the dance. I put my dress on and
my mom curled my hair. Then I just had to wait. Alex's mom
and Katie came by my house at 6:45. We were the first girls
at the dance. One person told us that we weren't allowed
in the school until 7:00. We were all standing out in the
cold when a boy came out of the school. He told us that
we were allowed in the building. Alex, Katie, and I were
all mad. The rest of the time we had a lot of fun. Many
of our other friends showed up and we all danced and took
pictures. Today was really fun!
