My Poem

You’re probably gonna beat me

Yea right I’m thinking

Why, why do we have to have athletics

I see people ahead of me, I look to the side and I see people putting water on their faces, wait what

While I am way behind

[Why can’t I be good at athletics?]

I hear people cheering for others I hear MY name occasionally

I feel exhausted, breathless, like I have just had the life suked out of me

OFFICIALLY THE WORST DAY EVER!

Ugh! Is it over yet?

Skydiving

“I can not believe you got me into this!” I was frightened as the plane steadily rose up into the air. I was even more frightened when I looked out the window. I thought wow I can not believe I am just to jump out of this plane and free fall until I open the parachute. I wondered what will become of me? Is this what it feels like to be at near death? But I guess I’ll do it I though. It was time to jump, I did not know what to think I didn’t want to jump but I had no choice since I was hooked to my eager friend Milou. I was in the front and when she jumped, it made us go spiraling rapidly down to earth. As we descended I wondered if this is what dying feels like. Then I felt this sudden warm feeling spread through out my body I loved it, it felt magical. I was flying, it was wonderful. Then we had to pull the parachute I was reluctant to pull it I loved the adrenaline rush running through me. As we slowly drifted back to earth I said to myself maybe Milou was right. Skydiving can be fun. When we reached the ground I told Milou “Thanks I really enjoyed this.”  

My recount of a memorbale moment

Moving to New Zealand

AHHHHHHH! I hear my sister screaming, my head is spinning. “Huh?” Is all I could say.

I hear my dad yelling my name, I thought, what does he want as I sat on my bed up on the top floor in my bedroom. “ What do you want?” I yelled down the stairs. “Please come down into the office,” my dad yelled back up the stairs. “ Why?” I yelled back. “ Just get down here,” he yelled in a tone  I knew very well and I knew that it was serious. So, I came down from my room wondering what the heck he wanted.

When I reached the office I put my ear to the office door. I suddenly jerked back when I heard my dad say “ Come in Maggie.” I open the door slowly. I remember walking into the office and sitting down on my dad’s lap and asking my dad why he wanted my sis and I. “I want to talk to you about something.” “ lets go into the living room,” my mother suggested.

When we had all comfortably settled down my dad finally spoke, “So, did you guys want to move to New Zealand?” AHHHHHHH! I heard my sister screaming, my head was spinning. I felt like a fish above water so clueless on what is going on, lightheaded, like I could breathe no longer.

“So, do you think a family vote will be fair?” My dad asked. In different ways we all said absolutely. We had a family vote and we all voted yes, and then I asked my dad what about all my friends how would I contact them? Would I be home schooled? I asked my dad these questions and  lots more.

And after all of last year and the start of this year I still don’t regret moving here. I really enjoy it here. Even though it was a big change I really love it here. And even though I miss home and all my friends and family there, I absolutely love it here too.
