I have not really taken much time this month to post on my blog as the holiday is quickly approaching and true to form, clients are anxious to close on their homes. Sometimes, I just have nothing to share that would be of any consequence to anyone else. But today, I couldn't resist an opportunity to share an assignment my daughter had from her literature teacher. I am not going to take credit for this amazing literary masterpiece. Its innocence and humor speak volumes and it's something we can all learn from...So here are the ABC's of life according to Mia Ward - my 11 year old daughter.
Adrienne
Adrienne is my sister and 10 years older than me. My sister Adrienne is very kind, caring and generous. When ever I visit Adrienne she's doing better and better with her life style choices. I always look up to Adrienne for help. I think of Adrienne as a role model for everyone. I believe that Adrienne will go far in life and she will have a happy life.
Brother
I have two brothers. They both are special in there own unique way. One of my brothers is 10 years old, and his name is Matty. I also have another brother named Billy. He's very tough but very nice once you get to know him and I mean like lived your whole life with him knew him. My brothers are very nice to me and very tough on me, like I'm another guy.
Church
Church is a very sacred place and it helps me think about what I've done wrong. I love that I can open up there. I love the priest there very much, and they're very nice there. I really love how the church is right next to the school and how I don't really have to go that far on cold days.
Dad
My dad's nickname is Dollar Bill. We named my fish after him. He's very strong and helpful. He goes to people's houses and solves problems as a police officer. I love my father very much and he is very funny.
Elegant
I think I am pretty elegant, although most people that know me know I'm a cluts. Elegance is a very important thing to have at my age or older. My mom and sisters are elegant as for me not so much. I'm trying to be more elegant.
Family
Family is very special to me. I am so happy when my whole family is back together because they're usually at college or at high school. During the holidays is the perfect time for the family to get together. I love that when the family is together there is constant noise. In my house I like noise and I hate the quiet. So I can't wait for Christmas.
God
God is the ruler of the entire world. God is really Jesus. It's so cool I can't explain it! God sent the angels to tell Mary that she was going to have Jesus and since God is Jesus I really don't understand it. How can you be in one place and then another?
Heaven
I picture that heaven has beautiful horses and you never fall off. Heaven is a place were you watch over the people you love and you make sure nothing bad happens to them. There are choirs of angels singing and they never stop. There are dogs and cats running around so that you will never feel lonely.
Intelligence
Having intelligence is a gift because you can grow up to be a good, intelligent person with a good job. I am intelligent when I'm trying. When I am awake I can learn a lot of stuff. I believe that intelligent people can pursue a lot of good things.
Joy
I have a lot of joy in my life. My friends are always joyful and my family is always joyful. I also have a teacher named Mrs. Joy and she is sometimes joyful, too. If you look around you you will see joy. In the worst thing that has ever happened to you, you can find joy out of it.
Kindness
Everyone is kind in my family and my friends are kind, too. Kindness is an act of generosity. It comes from your heart. When I'm kind to other people, I can make them feel good about themselves. Kindness is putting other people before yourself.
Love
God is love. Love is the main ingredient to having a healthy family. I love my family very much. Love never dies.
Mary
Mary is the mother of Jesus. Mary saw two angles and they told her she was going to have Jesus, our Savior. Mary had a husband named Joseph.
Nicole
Nicole is my older sister. Nicole is 17 and about to graduate high school. Nicole is an awesome older sister because she does a lot to entertain me. She also is a great gingerbread maker.
Oprah
Oprah is sort of like my sisters but black. Oprah is kind, giving and she has her own talk show. My sisters aren't on talk shows but are kind and giving. Oprah gives to the poor. She also looks like a kind person.
Pretty
There are a lot of pretty people out there and I know a lot of them. I don't think of myself as pretty. I think of myself as unique.
Quackalackine
Quakalakine is my pet on Webkinz. I really love my pet because if you can't afford a pet or your family members are allergic to animals, you can have Webkinz. Webkins are digital. It's like having your own pet but not.
Reindeer
Reindeer are cool animals. They can run fast and they have cool antlers. I have a lot of reindeer in the field near my house. I love where I live. There are no street lights and you can catch fireflies.
Sugar Cookies
Who doesn't like sugar cookies? I love sugar cookies! They're my favorite cookie.
Teachers
I have a lot of teachers. They're pretty cool. I think that a teacher that would give us no homework every day would be the coolest. I really like my teachers. They are nice.
Unicorn
Unicorns are awesome. They have pretty colors with a pointy end to protect themselves. I have never seen a unicorn. I'm pretty sure they aren't real.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is the holiday that you celebrate love. It is also my Grandmother's birthday. She loves Valentine's Day so much that she wears hearts all the time and chocolate is her favorite food.
William
There are many Williams in my family. My grandfathers' names are both William. My brother's name is William. My mother's brother's name is William, and my Dad's name is William. I love them all!
X-ray
I've had a lot of x-rays because I'm a little clumsy. I had got a button stuck in my nose when I was 3 and they took an x-ray. I ran in a big gym and slid into a concrete wall when I was four. I had an x-ray and a CAT scan. I broke my wrist when I was 8.
Yummy
My mom's food is really yummy. She is a really good cook. My mom is always coming up with creative, yummy dishes that are also healthy for our family.
Zoo
My sister Adrienne took my brother Matt and I to the Zoo in DC. I had a very good time but my brother whined most of the time because he had to walk a long way and it was hot. We saw a zebra, a lion, a bear, an elephant, a giraffe, and lots more.
