My Dog Genna
My Dog Genna
(By: Ainslee)
On this cold summer morning, you lay
on the ground gasping for air in the warm vet’s office.
Wishing that you would not have to go through this pain.
They shoot a mysterious fluid into to your leg.
You begin to close your eyes.
I hold your paw for the last time
as I lay your head onto the hard ground.
My tears hit your body drop by drop.
I was hoping that the tears
would make you come alive again.
But those kind of things only happen in fairy tales.
This is reality.
Friends
Friends
(By, Ainslee)
We link arms
as we walk down the street together.
We laugh at each other's jokes,
even if they aren’t funny.
We work through tough times together.
We work through tough times together.
Like when your dog died
I was there for you.
When my grandfather
was in the nursing home,
you were there for me.
People say we are best friends.
But we are more than that
we are sisters.
Dreams
Dreams
(By, Ainslee)
Dreams are like a place
where your mind escapes
to its own mystical world
taking you along for the journey
Sometimes scary
Sometimes fun.
From colorful rainbows,
being adrift at sea,
to frightening dinosaurs
ready to eat me.
Everyone experiences
different dreams
because
Dreams are your
mind’s creation.
And one day
that dream will come true.

Dont let other people make you someone else
One Sunday afternoon... I was talking to my mom about clothes because I was packing for Florida. I told her about the day when I came into this class with a sweater that my sister had gotten me for Christmas. I was totally made fun of. People were saying "that sweater looks really weird" or "that looks really young and only kids six and under wear gap clothing".
As I started telling my mom this I began to cry really hard. I just got that moment when you feel really emotional. I guess it was because I remembering the feeling that I felt that day. The embarrassment.
Then when my mom and I were telling my sister she said "don't worry about what other people say. If you like your sweater than wear it."
After I went down stairs to tell my dad I walked back into to my sisters room... She was balling her eyes out? She said "it really annoys me that boys and girls were making fun of you and being mean to you". She started hugging me really tight. I hugged her back. Beginning to cry with her.
I will never forget that moment. My sister is so special and I am one lucky girl to have a caring and loving sister like her. For now on I'm not going to worry what other people say to me I'll have to stand up for my self and be strong.
P.S, I was also really ashamed because my sisters car got broken into and she had all of our family's Christmas presents in her car. All together that was probably worth a few hundred dollars. Yet she still got me that sweater! By the way when she found out about the sweater she was furious and really disappointed. So if you were one who did this don't only think about how you made me feel but how you also made my sister feel.
So don't listen to people who say mean things, just stand up for your self.

My grandfather
My grandfather is sick and in a nursing home. He forgets a lot of things, like people's names and what happened recently, and then gets really confused. His doctors found he has Dementia, an old peoples disease. I just hopes he doesn't die to soon...
Right now he is my only grandfather. I always feel like I never want to see him. I get this feeling about not having a grandfather and start to get really emotional. I know I shouldn't think that way and I should try to see him more often but it's just the part of me that doesn't really want to see his face anymore. I hope I get over this feeling and just think about how I have a grandfather right now and I should be happy.
On Sunday afternoon my mom, some other family members and I went to visit my grandfather. When I walked into the nursing home and saw all of the people just sitting around I wanted to leave as soon as possible. It made me so emotional thinking that my grandfather is going to be like this. Just sitting around and watching TV all day. I guess I have to realize that it's the safest place for him right now and its where he should be, we hope he can go home in a month.
When we walked into the room I saw him in a wheel chair. I was speechless. I wanted to die just looking at how badly injured he was. At that point I was totally thinking about my other grandfather who died and how my other grandfather might die soon too. And when I heard my grandfathers voice I was about to burst into tears. It was the first time I have heard his voice in a while (Especially because he broke his hip). I couldn't even stand the fact that he wasn't talking straight and he was telling the same stories over and over again. But another part of me really enjoyed seeing him and listening to him talk.
Then when he mentioned something about dieing I couldn't stand it any more all that sorrow rushing threw my body, my heart pumping like there's no tomorrow. I wanted to cry I wanted to fall to the floor. For a second I felt like my heart stop beating I felt like I was going to die. I got that feeling were my muscles were all just giving up and my body wanted to break. Just then I realised he was smiling. It seemed to soak all the sorrow the pain that I had left in my body and I felt happy again. That moment was golden. It was like it had never happened to me before.
Then we all started laughing and talking again. We wanted to try to get him to do a word search. That was when my happiness shattered. It all went down to the floor in a million pieces. He said " I have to think about more important things right know". WHAT??? Is doing the word "sail" really that hard. He tried to change the subject at least four times. He needed to get his brain thinking or he's going to end up even worse than he is now! We all had a really good time seeing my grandfather. And so we decided to say goodbye and gave him hugs. So we got out of the nursing home and got in the car I started crying like as in balling my eyes out. I just hope my grandfather hangs in there and starts doing those word puzzles :)
