Dear Diary,
Ever since my family and I left home I have been dreaming of Oregon. If only my son could be with me. I still remember the screams of my son drowning. The nightmare haunts me and yet there is more to come.
I have made a few friends over the trail. One of them was James. He was a good fellow, very kind and nice. I still remember a lot of events like when Paul Brian's son died.
We had to make a lot of important decisions, like when we had to decide on which trail to take. The most important (maybe last) decision we had to make was when we hit Snow Pass. There was a lot of arguing because if we get to Snow Pass too late the whole trail will be buried, and we will be trapped. There was a lot of yelling. Some said we should go back to Paradise. Others said we should just head directly to Snow Pass. We finally decided on sending scouts (Paul Brian and I) ahead to see if the pass is clear or not.
I expect good things to happen next. This may be my last diary entry of my life, so whoever is reading this, good luck and always stay strong.
Nate Page

Mars is the closest thing to earth. The temperature can change quickly, going from hot to cold. The climate and weather is just like ours. We have seasons, so does Mars. We have really cold temperatures in the North and the South Pole. So does Mars. Scientists are very excited to find life on earth. Possible sitings of water are on Mars which can lead into life. Mars could be the key to find life on another planet!

Hello, I have been recently recruited by NASA. I got a message. It said NASA has been looking for someone to work on their navigation team. The whole reason why this was created was for the seven astronauts who lost there lives while flying to space.
Being part of the navigation team I had to do a lot of things. I had to determine the landing site for the space ship. I had to find out if the high land or low land is a good place to land the ship.
Really the most important part was finding the landing site because if I didn’t find a good site my team wouldn’t know where to launch the probe.
For me, the hardest part was finding the right coordinates. I had to calculate and do a lot of math.
Even though things were hard, I still had a good time.

Friendship
The story “The Other Side” is about two girls who are two different races. The two girls are next door neighbors, but in that time black and whites could not be together so there was a giant fence that separated the two girls. Then one day the black girl ran up to the white girl and said hi. Then they started to hang out. Eventually they became friends.
When I reread “The Other Side,” I thought it was all about friendship. In the story the two girls wanted to be friends, but they couldn't be friends because they were two different races. Also, when one of the girls was playing jump rope, the white girl came to play, but the black girl’s friend rejected the white girl's friendship. In the end, the girls became friends. In the story I learned a message: In life it doesn’t matter who you are, but you can always make friends.
This story relates to my life when I was in kindergarten. Back when I was five, I had no friends. Then I met a kid named Vicente. We were both different in many ways, but just like the two girls, we became friends.
So if there is someone that you don’t like, who knows, you might like him/her. So what are you waiting for, go talk to him/her!

Bloody Head
If you’re wondering why I would be looking at a closet with a hole and a little red stain, here’s the story.
It all started when we were having a race in a place called KEEPS, and this girl was ahead of me. I wanted to tap her on the back and say, “I give up.” But instead of that, I she ran headfirst into the closet. (At least she won the race.)
Suddenly there was only silence in the room. Then there were gasps in the room. Staff was running to the kitchen, trying to find a wet cloth. She cried a very high pitched sound. The smell of tears and blood stung my nose. Luckily, the October wind blew the smell away. I looked at her face. It was beyond what my eyes could handle.
“What happened,” she said.
Nobody said a word.
“Well” she said impatiently.
It was a brutal sight to look at her. I wanted to go to a different room, but guilt weighed me down.
Seeing her head made me feel scared.
Now I will always be carful of my actions. Safety is always first.
