Combining sentences.
When going to school I knew that I should have studied for that test that I was going to take. I walked in 10 minutes late and my teacher said "Try your hardest to be here on time, ok?" I sat down and said "I will next time" and started my test. I noticed that there was lettuce all over the table, but I didn't want to question it, so I went on with my test. After school I walked out and my friend said that she was going to the mall. I asked her if I could come with her, and she said "Sure". When we started walking I asked her if she wanted to go to Subway and she said " I don't have any money on me." I said "It's ok don't worry about it cause I'm going to pay for you." She nodded her head and said "Thank you".Then she started tellling me this crazy story about a tornado that unexpectedly hitting Chili.

The Ring of Fire

When I was about 11 years old my family and I decided to go to the fair. When I got there I was so excited to see everything and ride every ride. My sister wanted me to go on a fast and scary ride with her. So she convinced me to go on a ride called The Ring of Fire. This ride looked like nothing when I was watching it because I made myself think that it wasn't going to be a big thing and I could handle it. Once I finally got on I thought it would just go around in a circle at all times. But, of course I was wrong about that too. What happened was that it stops in the middle and turns you up side down for a while and goes backwards and forwards. I was sitting next to my sister the whole time and I was so scared out of my mind. I was screaming like bloody murder and I made the guy stop the ride. People kept telling me that it was gonna be okay and kept on patting me on the back. Once I got off the ride everyone was mad at me and what made it worse was I was crying my eyes out. But last year when I went to the fair I conquered my fear and went on The Ring of Fire and didn't scream whatsoever. I felt really ashamed and disappointed in myself for over reacting like I did. But I couldn't help myself because I was only 11 years old.

{{((Flight Attendant))}}

To be a flight attendant you need to have at least a high school diploma, but many are looking for people who actually go to college and take some type of flight attendant classes. The people who actually go to college have a better chance of getting the job. When they hire you they are looking for people 18 to 21 years old. They also need to be somewhat tall because they need to reach up in high places. They also do a full back ground check on you to make sure that you are capable for the job.

**Obama**

All together I think that America made the right choice to vote for Obama because I think he will do better for us and this country. I also think that he will be a good president because I didn't really care for McCain because he kinda seems that he agreed with Bush.

The Squirrel at the Bank

I used to go to the bank all the time to drop off stuff for my mom and dad. One time I went up to my favorite person there. Her name was Tessa. Tessa is really nice and sweet and what made her even more awesome was that she has the same birthday as I. Anyways when I was walking up to her I saw that she was holding something and I asked her what she was holding. And she told me this long story about how she got a baby squirrel. I was so happy because I got to hold the baby squirrel and feed it.
When I came back to the bank 2 days later, I came up to her and asked her how she was doing with the squirrel and she was saying to me that she had to get rid of it and let it go. I was so sad about that because I was going to get a picture of the baby squirrel that day too.
