Christmas Break

My Christmas break is bound to be a memorable one, after all it is the longest one I will ever have, and my family is hosting a foreign exchange student this year so we have to include her in everything too. My break has already started. I take a Kirkwood academy in the afternoons and Kirkwood's break started last Friday. This past week has been amazing and horrible at the same time. On Monday nothing big happened, Tuesday I was pulling my van into the garage at home and one of the tires hit the loader bucket of my dads tractor and the tire went boom. Wednesday nothing exciting but on Friday I get to miss school to go to the dentist in Iowa City to have my wisdom teeth extracted. Then Saturday I have a family Christmas party to go to, hopefully I'm not in too much pain. Then to make my break even better I get to go down to Kansas to visit my uncle and his kids, only problem with that is its an eight hour drive. Only to have to come back less than a week later because mom has a meeting she has to go to. I am bound to remember my break. How about you? What are you going to do over Christmas break?

Lessons Learned

Some things you just can’t learn from your parents. Majority of teenagers don’t like to think of their parents as right, even if they are. We have to have proof to be able to believe it is possible for them to be right about something, even if it’s as small as how old the family pet is. I have learned a lot from people other than my parents.
One specific person that sticks out in my mind is Jim Brus. Jim taught me the right way to play golf, he helped me learn and memorize multiplication facts, and he helped me learn how to spell better. Since I met Jim he has been like a second grandfather to me so his death was rather difficult to experience. The date on his death certificate is different from the day I remember because the day he was declared legally dead and the day I lost him were three days apart.

"Hero"

I have chosen the book "Hero" by Mike Lupica to read and blog about. Today I read to chapter seven. So far its about Zach Harriman trying to go back to living his life after his father died in a plane crash.

Hello my name is Molly. I like to play golf, hang out with friends, and watch movies. After high school I want to be an architect, design a house for someone to build. I also want to be a photographer. Next fall I am going to collage to major in architectural design with a minor in photography.
