A Missing Person
To whom it may concern;
I have contaced you in the hope that you would be able to find an old acquaintance of mine. She was a dear friend of mine in junior high and i wish to see her again. Her name is Alyssa Hamm. We met in sixth grad; she was a small, brittle, quiet kind of a person and was very kind and sweet. She was pale but had medium length dark brown hair and brown eyes. I soon found out that she was a very strong christian. She wouldn't way words that would even lead to bad words, like crap, she would say something totally innocent that didn't mean anything. She called people goobers a lot. Later that same year her family decided to move to Oregon. She gave me her e-mail address and we talked regularly about how we were and how things were doing. In one e-mail she informed me she was moving again but this time it was to Washington. She was homeschooled for a long time. Slowly each of our lives got busy so we slowly stopped trying to keep in touch. I would like to see her again and I often wonder what she is up to and how her life is playing out. That is why I wrote you to find her so I can contact her again and possibly go visit her soon.
Sincerely,
Heather Gourley

Memory Book
Well, I would put one of the next two chapters I've been doing on here, but there's a slight problem: 1 of them is my Valedictorian speech, and it would be no fun if you guys had already read it before graduation! And the second one is a chapter my mom is writing about our homeschooling years. So, rest assured that I am working on it, I'm just unable to post my progress on here as of right now!

Macbeth Destiny
I think that everything is out of our hands. If it's meant to be it will happen. God already has our whole lives planned out. Certain things in life can change our future, but we don't have any control over it. I don't think doing certain things good or bad to make things happen can be justified.
A Different State of Mind
Pandora's Box
Crawl into this box I've found,
It's filled with sand and dirt.
Blazing Sun
No venom can hold a candle against this poison i have found
Open my box
I'll give you the keys; Glass, Grass, and finally Fire.
Come and play in this desolate place
A smile and an open mind, let everything else slip
Come and bake underneath my sun
Beautiful green grace
Let her slip into your lungs.

Memory Book Pov of an object
It was a bright and sunny play. It had a nice breeze going, birds chirping. The day was going good. He started me up pretty early that day. We had a few errands to run. He had a schedule before we left. He came outside; he unlocked me, and started me up. Got in, rolled down the windows and turned my radio up. We left the house, we went to McDonalds, and he came back with a drink. We left; we had to go downtown to the post office. After that we went to regions. That’s where it all happened! It was going good when he went inside. Two older people pulled up, parked next to me. Chris came outside got inside, started me, and put me in reverse. We backed out slowly, and then all of a sudden the other car backed up quick with looking behind them. They hit me on my right side. (Bang, crash!) My right side got smashed up pretty bad. Chris got really mad! I never saw him act this way. He finally calmed down and got all the information from the guy. He got me looked at and found out how much money it was going to cost. He found a guy that did really good work. It took him about two weeks to fix me up and then I was ready to go home to my owner. Chris was really happy to see me pulling up with my side looking good. I was glad to go back home to my owner, and then we took a drive.

My cousin swears it's not true
Pop! Goes the weisel
Meredith had a little lamb

Meredith had a little lamb
but I told her it had to go
Hickory Dickory Dock
Everyday is a mismatched sock

The battle of school needs to be won
Hickory Dickory Dock

Why I Would not Change Anything
I am who I am today because of what I've been through an the past. Why live your life in regret? I would not change anything about my life.
I grew up with my mom, dad, and three brothers. I was always outside getting dirty and climbing trees, and going on adventures. We always had fun and the boys taught me a lot.
The girly side of me came out when Emily Brafford started coming over to play. We had matching baby dolls. We had a plane at my house and a car at hers. Times were so great! Emily really is the sister I never had. She has been such an amazing friend for so many years.
I grew up in First Baptist Church. This is a major thing for me, I have come to know to know the Lord and I have made so many amazing friends.
Now I have some situations I feel regret from. I don't wish to change them because they have made me a stronger and better person! I am who I am today because of what I've been through in the past.

Why i wouldn't change anything.
I wouldn't change anything in my life because I've learned not to regret a thing because at one point in my life it was everything that i ever wanted.
When my parents decided that we were going to move to Missouri, i was too young to be upset, but if we hadn't moved then i wouldn't have all my best friends that i have and my life would be totally different.
After going back to the town that i lived there for five years; it made me realize that I'm really glad that i was raised in Mt. Vernon. DeWitt Iowa is not where i want to call home. The town doesn't seem as modern, and it seems smaller than Mt. Vernon..even though they are around the same size. I can bad mouth MV all i want, but it has been a good little town. I never thought i'd miss it. But i will be sad to leave the town and everyone.
My life has had its ups and downs but everything works out like they are supposed to. Mistakes that i make here and there may seem like earth shakers at the moment, but they actually point me into the better direction that i needed to go.
I wouldn't change a single thing in my life, because if all else fails I'll still have my family to back me up. My life has turned out pretty amazing.

the summer before my freshman year my parents decided we should take a family vacation. my dad wanted to go back to arizona to see his parents because we hadnt seen them in a few years, and my mom wanted it to be something eduational and something i would remember. they decided that we should take a trip out to the grand canyon, white sands new mexico, the petrified forrest, see some indian ruins, and see my granny and gramps. they decided that i could bring one friend with me so i chose to bring christy tittle along for the ride. we had the best time together. we had always been pretty close but i feel like that trip made us become so much closer. my parents just bought a new camping trailor so we camped the whole way from forrest city, arkansas to bisbee, arizona. it was the trip of my life. christy and i liked to pretend that we were in the pioneer times making the long journey west when we were younger so this trip just showed us how far that really was! we had no idea. although i got to see many major landmarks, i think my favorite part of the whole trip was seeing my granny and gramps. they are the best. i havent seen them since that trip and i am now graduating high school.
Why I Wouldn't Change A Thing
I am proud to say i would not change anything about my life. I wouldn't be the person i am today if it weren't for my past. I have grown up on a farm with my father, mother, my older sister, Jenna, and my younger brother, Heath. We played outside all the time. We always used to play basketball. It was a major competition. We also used to run on hay bales during the summer and go on treasure hunts with mom.
Throughout school, i have made several great friends who i know i can count on. Emily Tebow has been an amazing friend. She has always been there for me no matter what. We have been through a lot together.
As a young girl i grew up in the Red Brick Presbyterian Church. i was there every Sunday morning with my grandparents and a dollar in my pocket for the offering. I went to church there with my granny and Grandad because my parents do not attend church. My granny and grandad have make a huge difference in my life. Without them, i would have never gone to church. i am so grateful to have them in my life. They have taught me so much. I quit going to church there in the eighth grade because there wasn't a youth group. i started attending youth group at First baptist church. i loved it there. A year later, i stopped going there and decided to go to Grace community church. It is a great little church. I loved the youth and the Sunday morning worship. Once i started dating Timothy Schellen, we started going to James River Assembly. I absolutely love this church and i feel like i have finally found the Church for me. Without going to these churches, i would have never realized where i belong and where i feel comfortable.
I am a strong believer in having no regrets in life. i believe that as humans we will make mistakes, but the major thing about making a mistake is to learn from them. i have make several mistakes in my life and i don't wish to change anything about them because through those mistakes i have realized that they have changed me to be a better and stronger person that ever before. That is why i am proud to say i would never change anything about my life.
