The weather? Warm and sunny a perfect time to relax on the beach and tan. The clothing? Shorts, a tank top, and flip flops. The entertainment? Oh the entertainment could last a lifetime. The friends? Well the friends are the same as always which means that no matter what were there for each other. If one friend is on vacation and one is in summer school, and the other is hangin' with her summer boyfriend you can be sure that none of that will hold us back from being together. If all this happens and everything goes as planned with friends and family, then this is going to be a great summer. <3

Family
Family should be the place of comfort, a place of safety, a place where you feel like you can tell your family anything and they would help you find your way through your problems. Is it like this in every family? No. On the outside this family looked like a perfect family, everyone got along great and everyone was happy with everything that they had. Even though they had struggles it seemed like they were totally content with everything that they had, and that they would get through the struggles together as one family.Well this family has had a struggle every since their youngest daughter was born. The daughter was born with a clef pallet and a whole lot of other problems. This is a story of the life of this family, but more specifically heir daughter Christina and the trials she has gone through.
Married and had 4 kids. All beautiful even the one Christina with the clef pallet. This family had gone through so much already and had had to go through so many surgeries and medical procedures that someone that didn't know them would be surprised that they live in such a nice house that they are living in now. As you soon read about all of the struggles that this family went through, you will think, who is the mother, the mother that was able to hold this family as close together as they are now. The mother of this family is my first grade teacher, and now someone that I would consider my second mom.
When I was in first grade my sister was in fifth. My first grade teacher's daughter Christina was also in fifth grade. My sister Naomi and Christina became best friends and I love them both very much. I always thought "Wow, Christina must be so lucky to have such a wonderful mom and such a nice dad." Little did I know what was going on on this inside of my first grade teacher's hear and her husbands heart.
A few weeks later, I overhear my sister and my mom talking about the same thing about how everyone thought that their life was so good. Later on that night I ask "What's wrong with Christina's family mommy?" After that I got a pretty big explanation that Christina's dad had left the family, and that Christina's mom and dad would be getting a divorce.
Years pass and everyone is getting used to them being apart. Christina and her mom went on a trip to Florida for a couple weeks to visit her grandparents. While she was there, she had a dream that she told her mom about. "Mom, last night I had a dream that I had cancer." "Oh Christina, you don't have cancer don't worry about it." Life went on but Christina seemed to always be tired. Finally they went in to see the doctor. The doctor came out and said those two words that nobody wants to hear. "It's cancer." Christina had stomach cancer, and it was bad. In a couple of weeks Christina and her family were off to Texas to get treatment and to see if there was anything they could do to heal the Cancer. There was one thing that they thought they might be able to try, but it was risky considering Christina had had at least 16 other surgeries in her life and isn't in the best health condition. They decide to try this procedure any way. What is this procedure? Removing the stomach and hoping that her other organs would form a new stomach.
In less than two weeks the family was off to California to get the procedure done. The surgery day had arrived and evryone was anxious, worried, scared, and excited for the results of the surgery all at the same time. 18 year old Christina comes out of surgery, and it was a success. Christina stayed at the hospital for a few more days to make sure that it worked and the cancer was gone. The cancer was gone and the family was doing great. During this whole process the whole family had an amazing attitude and were always positive. Christina should be an example to all of us of how even though things are tough we CAN get through it.

We are the World
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
This song is an inspirational song that was originally written by Michael Jackson. The song was then re-sung by more modern day and popular people today. Today the song is now dedicated towards Haiti.

End of the Year
For eighth grade students the end of the year should be a time where we are not having a lot of homework and where everything is winding down. But this is not how things are seeming to be right now. Right now we are having big tests and quizzes and learning more new information.
It's May now and things should be wrapping up and getting done with but it really seems like things are getting started and we are learning a lot of new information. At the end of the year there is a lot of pressure to get really good grades and pass all of your classes with A's but if that is such a big goal for the school then why don't they make the goal an easier goal to achieve. I think at the end of the year should be the time we review and calm things down so everything is easy and we can get good grades as we finish 8th grade.

Highschool
What will it be like walking through the doors of the high-school for the very first time next year as a freshman at Pewaukee High-school? Fun but probably scary. We’ve walked through the high-school doors so many times for sporting events, plays and other school activities but next year on the first day of school everything will be different because we will be walking for the first time as a student there. I’m not sad about leaving Asa because we are getting older and moving on in life, but because I will miss all the memories that were made there. Staying after school for homework club, or staying after to watch volleyball, basketball, track, or wrestling. Something else that I will miss when I leave this school are the phenomenal teachers.
Walking through the high school doors will be a very humbling experience I think because now as 8th graders we are at the top of our school and we are the oldest and usually know more than the seventh graders or “sevies” do. But when we get in high school we will be the “stupid freshman”. This should not bring us down and disappoint us though, this should be something that will bring us up and make us want to succeed and show the seniors, and juniors, and sophomores, that just because we are younger doesn’t mean we aren’t as capable to do big things and important things we can still do anything that they can do.
The next four years of our lives at Pewaukee will be some of the most important years of our life. These years will determine what we become and what we do with the rest of our life. These next four years are chances to try new things and have no regrets. As this year ends I want to end the year with no regrets and then start a new four year part of my life with no regrets.
