I’m scared of this trip. This trip has done no good! I first lost all my livestock. We are freezing to death! It's like two degrees here! My son froze in the middle of the trail! I had to give him a cream that goes on your body that warms him up. My daughter was always crying because she thought that her husband was going to die and leave her pregnant! I told her that she isn’t going to be alone, that I'm always with her, and if I die her father and brother will be there! She started to cry even more! My dad died, and I cried like I was a waterfall. This is how it went. He froze and wouldn’t talk and he wouldn’t move. My husband screamed, “Elizabeth! Your father died! Come quick!” I went, and we buried him there in the snow. I left flowers there, and I hope when I die I will lay right next to him!
Since it has been snowing like a blizzard and the snow blocked the pass we thought to go right off the path and go right. We decided this because there are no mountains and trees and since there’s no mountains and trees we can just go through the clear space! Honestly, I'm scared but I tell my children that I love them and that we might be safe! I hope that this is the right trail to take!
I expect to be safe and to find nice land! I also except to not find death. I also want to see all these wagons be safe and sound when we get there. I also except to be with my family and live a beautiful life with them!
My advice to give to any pioneer is to make wise decisions and be with your family. Never leave your family alone! Have the right material for weather! Spring, winter, fall, and summer! Have the right clothes too. These may be my last words!
Best wishes,
Elizabeth Mingo

Spring!
I feel the fresh breeze on my face
I feel the sun beaming on my face
Bees are buzzing around
Ouch!
I see flowers sprouting
It's not summer or fall nor winter
What season is it?

Return to the Moon
The Challenger Science Center is a place where you learn about astronauts and how they went to the moon! You also get to feel and do the same things as the astronauts did. You get to communicate on a microphone and find data about the moon.
When I went to the Challenger Science Center, my job was life support. I wanted medical but I still loved my job. In life support you had to make sure we were breathing the right air, and if you weren’t you would have to change it. It was difficult. You would have to know your vocabulary. You also send messages to the data team.
What I learned on life support team was to always work fast and do what it says on the task cards. I also learned that you and your partner would have to use team work to figure out what to do.
The most difficult part in life support team was to change the air filter. It was difficult because my partner and I didn’t know where the old air filter was. We only had two minutes to find it. Then we found it but the gas was coming out and we had to change it fast. Then I knew I should have studied my vocabulary better.
What I would do differently the next time I visit the Challenger Science Center is study my vocabulary better, use team work, and listen to the commander. This was good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when I grow up, and doctors have to listen to directions and listen to their boss.

Believe In What You Want To Be
“The dot” is about a girl named Vashti who was in art class. On her sheet of paper she had nothing on it! Her teacher said, “Wow, a polar bear in a snow storm.” Vashti said, “I can’t draw, okay.” Then the art teacher told her she can draw, so Vashti made a dot. Then the art teacher said,“Sign it.” The next day Vashti went to art. She saw her art teacher, and above her she saw a picture of her dot framed. It was Vashti’s dot. Then Vashti said, “I can draw a better dot than that.” Then she drew many, many dots, big and small, and they were purple and blue and many other colors! Then it was the art show. Vashti hung her picture of the dot so that all the parents can see all the dots she drew! Then a little boy came up to Vashti and he said, “You’re an artist. I can’t draw,” Then Vashti told the boy to draw a line and then to sign it.
When I reread “the dot” and thought about it more, I thought it was about faith. One person, the art teacher, had faith in Vashti that she can draw. Another person, Vashti, had faith in the little boy. And I bet you that little boy is going to have faith in another person he teaches.
When I thought about “the dot” even more I thought about how I have had faith in myself! When I was eight I used to teach a lot of my cousins how to make things out of clay! I also taught them how to draw. I had faith in them. I think those experiences make me have faith in my self too.
So always have faith in yourself and in others.

BLACK OUT!
Have you ever gone two whole days without power?! I have, and you might think it's not that good. But it turned out to be awesome for our family!
It was raining really hard that night so me, my brothers, and my cousins, Brigitte and Daniel, were playing a video game. Daniel was 10 years old and Brigitte 9 years old. I loved them!
Suddenly “chchchc”the power went out!
We couldn’t see anything. “Hey, who turned off the lights!?”
We went down stairs slowly because we couldn’t see.
Boom! Bow! Boom! went my brother rolling down the stairs! We were all laughing and so was he.
I yelled, “Mom! We need a candle or else we are going to fall just like Anthony did!”
“Hey!” said Anthony, my brother.
We went downstairs with our own parents! We were hungry! We ate crunchy tacos with extra cheese, and we drank sour lemonade!
”Mmmmm” we all said.
M cousins had to sleep over with us that day.
The next day we tried turning the lights on but they wouldn’t work.
”Mom, when are the lights coming back on!” I said.
When it was night time we were bored. We couldn’t play our video game or watch TV! Then my dad got an idea and got a flashlight that changes into many different colors! And he put music on his iphone and we all started partying!
After we partied we never remembered the video game again. It was awesome! It wasn’t so bad after all!

P.G.C.
One sunny day Sara was going to middle school.
It was 99 degrees out. She was wearing purple shorts with a light blue tie-die shirt.
When she got to Paradise Middle School she saw her friends, Sally and Jessica. They were wearing the same thing as her but different colors Sally was wearing black shorts and a white tie-die shirt and Jessica was wearing blue shorts and a green shirt. They were wearing light blue Converse.
When they were walking to their lockers they saw the P.G.C girls. P.G.C means Popular Girls Club. One was named Jenifer. She was the prettiest of all the P.G.C girls. Another one was named Tiffany. She was the second prettiest. Last but not least was Selena. She was the tallest of all the P.G.C girls.
Jenifer said, “What are you girls doing. . . ?Your're lost! Well, why don’t you use a compass rose! hahahaha!”
Then when it was lunch time. Tiffany, Jessica, and Sally went to get their lunch. The lunch lady was giving out pizza and brownies. When Sally was walking, Tiffany tripped Sally and Sally landed on the brownie. Everybody was laughing at Sally, including the P.G.C girls.
Jessica said “What the heck?! What’s your problem, Tiffany?!”
Tiffany said, “Um, excuse me. No one talks to me like that.”
“I just did!” Jessica said.
All the kids were staring at Tiffany. One kid said, “Ohhh you just got served!”
The next day it was 100 degrees. The girls decided to go to a water park. When they saw the popular girls, they were there staring at them, all soaking wet from the pool.
“Where did you guys come from? The kiddy pool? Hahahahahahaha!”
“No! Why do you care?!” said sally.
“Shut your face brownie face!Hahahaha!” said Tiffany. All the P.G.C girl laughed.

The day I moved I didn’t want to move. I liked it where I was in Georgia. I had to say bye to all my favorite teachers, friends, and family and my beautiful big house. I loved it there. I didn’t want to move.
I had to leave first to New York in a car with my mom, my dog, and my siblings. We brought our clothes, the TVs, the blankets from our beds, our toys, and other small stuff that fit in our van. My dad came after us because he had to get the moving truck and put our bed in and our kitchen table and the table from the diner and small tables we had for frames and lamps and other big things.
When my mom and me and my siblings arrived it was December, winter. We had to sleep at my uncle’s house. It was big enough for us to sleep. We had to sleep there for a month. At that time my dad was there. Then we found an apartment for us. It was small but at least we had somewhere to sleep. It had only two rooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a small living room.
Then I started to go to Mamaroneck Avenue School. I liked it. I met new friends in MAS, and I also met new teachers. I got used to our school. It was so cool and fun in MAS.
But I am never going to forget my old school, and I am always going to visit Georgia.
