The Little Giant

Do you like pandas? If you do, this is the right post for you to read. I am writing about a cute and small panda whose name is Tai Shan (tie-SHON). He has finally got a name and he had to wait 100 days to get it! I would not like it if I had to wait that long to get my name. By the way. Did you know that Tai Shan means 'peaceful mountain'? The name Tai Shan was voted by 202,045 people in China. Whoa!!! The public won't meet Tai Shan until December at the earliest, which might leave people awake in their beds. Tai Shan's mother Mei Xeing (May-YANG beatiful fragrance) is having a hard time leaving Tai Shan on his own. Tai Shan recently has taken his very first steps and his teeth are coming in!!!

Which name is better Tai Shan, Mei Xiang, or Hua Mei?

Life

     Whoa!  I guess I just got a brand new cousin! My aunt had a baby yesterday! His name is Justice. I really didn’t expect that!!!

     Well life matters most to me because I realize that life is like a roller coaster, like when you are a kid the chain is taking a slow pace pulling you up the roller coaster. But as an adult you are going down the roller coaster and life seems quick. When a new baby is born another roller coaster follows you.

     Work your way threw mess-ups in the roller coaster. Curve past obstacles in your way. Don't get off the roller coaster! Not all life is fun, like the dips in the roller coaster. Try to work your way through the parts that are jerky, bumpy or not fun. Never give up! Trust yourself!

     Don’t go past without being thankful for life. Thank God that you have life. Try to treat everyday as if it were your last because someday it will be. Be nice to people and respect them, as you would treat your self.

     How much does life matter to you? What do you compare life to?                                   

Family Matters!!!

I am typing about my family. My mom is first. She is really cool. She knows a lot about everything and went to summer school for fun. She is an AWESOME mom. Next up is dad. He has to do tree work. If he could do stump grinding instead then he would. One time I grabbed my dad’s coffee and drunk the whole thing when I was a baby. Joseph my cousin is third. He is cool. If he would live here that would be awesome!!!!!! Next is E.J., his younger brother. He is neat. I wish I could spend more time with him. Coming up is Ray. He is a neat brother. Kenny is cool but insane. Josh, another cousin is nice but he gets very, very moody. Justin my youngest cousin has an unbelievable personality. He is loopy, clumsy and extremely whiny. Then Jacqueline is cute and is not whiny. My family is too big to mention the whole tree, but Grandma and Grandpa are very nice and I have to put them on the list. Now we’re watching a baby squirrel that we call Chuckie. Well, see ya! (For now!)

Think About It: Think about your family, put it on a list and try to write about them.
