Several weeks ago my mom stopped by and brought over several bags of my old things from when I was younger. In one of the bags, I found a journal that I had to keep when I was in the 5th grade. It was fun (and funny) to read through it, especially when I realized how much of a typical 11-year old I was.

| I would like to live on a
farm. I like animals
that lives on farms. Like
horses and cows. But
the farm jobs are hard like milking cows.
It would be really exciting.
I don’t know right not but one day I might live on a
farm. But right now I
live in a town. But I
can dream can’t I? Of
course I can! I will too. I
will imagine I live on a farm with cows, horses, chickens, etc.
I will also be a cowgirl.
It will be awesome. Well
that’s how I feel. So
there.

| I like handicrafts because
they are fun to make and its hard work.
I like to weave, carve, and to make things.

What I don’t like about handicrafts is that they take a
lot of patience.
