...Chapter 1...

The mail finally came today. And to my surprise there was a letter for me!!! I gently unwrapped the small envelope.Before I could reach my hand in, something fell out.Double surprise!It was a perfectly flat $100 dollar bill! This must mean....

 I WON THE JUNIOR WRITING CONTEST!!!

I started jumping up and down. I knew this was not a dream it was real because I was staring down at a real $100 dollar bill and a real invitation for a lunch with my real favorite author. 

Finally I stopped jumping up and down and picked out the letter. 

It reads:

Dear Devin Delling,

 Your outstanding submitted essay has won the Junior Writing Contest of 2017.

Along with your $100 you have won a free pass to meet with a famous author.

You will soon receive a card with all of the authors you can pick from.

But choose quickly and carefully because your card expires on Jan 1, 2018

at 12:00 pm.

Thank you for a wonderful piece of hard work

Signed,

America's Small Writing Association.

Behind the letter was a small blank card. It reads:

By the way, 3 plane tickets are included

I flipped the small card over and spotted 10 of my favorite authors.

Now I have a question. Which one?

Hobbies

 Hobbies Are Something Very Special

 They are what you love. And you do them because you like them it doesn't matter if you good at it, it only matters that you like it.

  Some of mine are photography, art, writing, reading, and adventuring. I love these because they inspire me.They make me feel happy. I can have fun by doing what I love. And lastly, I can get better at these things.

 Here is a list of interesting hobbies that are common.
 (Not including the ones I listed earlier)
Some are:
Crafting
Building
Sports
Excercizing
Researching
Blogging
Instraments

I would like to invite you to find your hobbies.
See what you enjoy. Maybe it is one I have already listed. Maybe it is something totally different. But, remember these are your hobbies. Nobody can say otherwise.

Tell me what your hobbies are and maybe we will have some in common. You never know.

How to get through school

School Can Be Frustrating you wake up at 7:00 and then you get home at 4:00. And what is in between is pure madness. But, there is a way that you can survive school. Well, first of all, you don't have to like school but it is important that you have a motivation. Such as a friend or teacher. Check.

Second. Find one subject that you really love. Such as, math. While you are going crazy in social studies you can convert or include math while you are studying. You could think about estimates or weather climates as a way to enjoy it. Although, you must be careful that you do not get carried away.

Third. Homework is one of the most frustrating thing about school. So, get it out of the way. Do it at recess. Lunch break. Or during a free class period. Get it out of the way. So, then you don't need to come home and whine about how school is terrible and that you have too much homework. 

Fourth. You need something to look forward to whether it is seeing a friend, or going to gym, or having recces or lunch. Find out what you look most forward to everyday. Then expand your thinking and think about what you are looking forward to that week, next think about that month.

Fifth. Only positive people are allowed at school. Just keep a smile on your face and you will make it through the day. 

I want to tell you how much all this has helped me. Just think of things through different eyes. Make your lens bright don't let dust shade your picture. 

thank you for seasons

SPRING

   Spring is the season of rainy days, you plant flowers and make new friends, this is a season full of all different colors.







WINTER is a cold and fun season, children in the snow, red rosie cheeks on everybody not a soul to be lost in the snow.

 FALL

    fall is the season of every little color, the leaves and the trees are a beautiful sight, it makes the faces smile as bright as a light.

Yoda Club

On Monday I had my Yoda club come over. We mostly played but also made t-shirts and cupcakes. We used fondant to make Yoda heads to put them on our cupcakes [ p.s you can eat fondant.] the people in the club are:of course me, Helen, Kale, and Paul. My nickname is Snada it's a mixture of Yoda and Snape. Helens is Yoda. Kales is what he wants us to say it is Kale the cool we don't want to call him that but were fine with it. We don't know what Paul's is-yet.

 We decided that when we grow we will make the first hoverboard and maybe a special dance. That makes you happy!
