3. All About Me 
My name is Brenna. I have two cats and a ferret. In my trailer, it’s only me and my mom, besides my pets. I like video games, music and anything that has to do with art. I feel that I am good at literature, yet I’m terrible at math. I love making stories and make them into people and comics.

4. Fall is…
My Cousins Accident
Unthankful Person
Journal Entries

5. Fall is..
Fall is the season where you rake up leaves then jump into the pile, but to me, Fall is my favorite season. It’s not too hot or freezing. I love watching the leaves turn all kinds of colors and fall. One time, I saw a pink leaf when me and my mom were walking. Fall calms me down but it’s kind of sad to see the leaves die in the freezing winter. If it was Fall forever, I’d go out and do a Fall activity for it doesn’t last forever.

6. My Cousins accident.
One weekend in summer, three of my cousins came over and slept over. My mom made us stay outside for the two days. It was the second day I think when we all rode our bikes up the hill and were about to go down . I hadn’t realized that my cousin, Auston (girl), had no shoes on and she didn’t know how to use her brakes. So we both went down. Colton and Payton stayed up at the top. Suddenly, I hear Auston panicking. At first, I was confused until I realized she didn’t have her shoes on and couldn’t drag her feet to slow down. At the bottom, the hill had a slight turn and Auston didn’t know how to turn either! So, like the older cousin I am, I started freaking out. At the bottom of the turn was an electric fence. Then, WHACK! Into the neighbors fence! She flipped backwards on her back as she hit it. Her bike a few feet away. I called her name, stopping as quick as I could. I jumped off my bike, not caring if it fell down and I ran to her. As I was getting off, Colton and Payton rode down. They stopped too as I got her bike. Colton got her. Getting out, I saw the cows looking at us and I looked at the broken string. We went straight to my mother and told her what happened. We all went over to the neighbors and told them. They understood and were very kind about it. The women said she was very lucky because they had turned off the fence. We all laugh now talking about it.
I wrote this because I wanted to share the terrifying moment of my cousin.

7. Unthankful person
One day, me, my mom and my Nana went out to eat. When we were done, we walked out of the door. I saw a women about to go in so I held the door open for her. She said nothing. Just looked back, like she was glaring at me. My Nana and mom saw. I was a bit ticked but shrugged it off. There are rude people in the world but I will be nice!
Me and my mom were joking around with it, saying how I should have dragged her back, shut the door in her face, then say “You’re welcome.” then walk away. I know I said I’d be nice but hey. Maybe sometimes I should be a little mean.
I wrote this because I thought people should know that not everyone is nice.

9. A look at me as a reader
I like reading almost anything and I can read almost anywhere, as long as I’m comfy. Noisy or quiet. I mostly read fantasy and science fiction. I also like, I will admit, romance.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to find a good book that I find interesting.

10. A Look At Me As A Writer
I love making stories very much. Mostly romance and fantasy. I write/type stories on a internet site. Normally, after I update those stories, I like to think about what to write about next which would be dramatic, action etc. That’s a habit I need to stop so every chapter isn’t scary with action.

Camp to Camp. Torture to torture. Starving with barely any food, The Nazis were trying to break everyone’s mind, and eventually almost broke Yaneks.
Uncle Moshe told him he is no one. No name. no family. Nothing. You must do anything to survive this horror and he did survive.
I absolutely loved this book!

21. Year in Review
I liked 6th grade. Math was easier (Sort of) and all the classes were fun. I would like to thank my teachers for helping me through it all, preparing us for 7th grade. EVEN THOUGH I DON’T WANT TO GO.
At least it’s not 5th grade. I didn’t understand any of that. But 6th grade was fun and I love my friends.
….I still don’t want to go to 7th grade…
