Oh my gosh I am so not ready for this… OH sorry, I was just
  talking to myself. If you were wondering the thing I’m not ready for is the
  Christmas play my school is putting on, BTW the play we’re doing is the
  Christmas Carol. The parts I have are: Mr. Fezziwig, Mrs. Oliver and a beggar.
  But the thing my friends and I think is really weird is the fact that all the
6/7 students have to be zombies and dance to Thriller… I know weird right?
Another thing I find weird is I’m a girl and I’m playing a man. :| But I think
that the girls playing Tiny Tim are perfect for the part because well their
TINY! Well not very tiny but not as tall as most fourth graders are. I’m just
worried that at the two or three dress rehearsals I’ll make fun of myself by
screwing up my lines. Well I guess I’ll just have to see how it goes in
December. Well bye for now!

Oh my GOSH! I can’t believe it’s only 37 days
‘till Christmas! I’m excited and all except for the fact that I only have 3 or 4
things on my list so far! I have 1D’s new album, and iPod touch, Brave and The
Hunger Games on it. I just don’t know what else to ask for! Maybe in the
comments you could give me some suggestions for what I should ask for and what
you’re asking for Christmas? But with my religion, I need to remember what the
true meaning of Christmas is which is the birth of Christ. Another thing that
I’m excited for is the Christmas play my church is putting on and I have an
important part because I’m Gabrielle the angel that told the shepherds that
Jesus was born. Well bye for now!

Journal: Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is on November the eleventh because that is the
day WW1 ended, it ended since the two sides signed a peace treaty so they
  stopped fighting at exactly 11:00 A.M. on the eleventh day of the eleventh
  month. The people we are recognizing are the people who fought and died in WW1
  and WW2, it just so happens that my great grandmas brother fought against
  Hitler in WW2. Two of the items that are connected to Remembrance Day are  poppies and paper cranes. The poppies are important because during WW1 poppies
  began to bloom in Flanders Fields where the war was going on and the paper
  cranes are important because they represent the story of Sadako Sasaki who got
  diagnosed with leukemia in November 1954 from the atomic bomb America dropped
  in Japan ending WW2 in 1945, she got hospitalized on February 21 1955 and given
  a year at most to live. On August 3 1955 her best friend Chizuko Hamamoto
visited her and told her ,after folding a black paper crane, an ancient Japanese
story that said if you fold one thousand origami paper cranes you will be
granted a wish from the gods. Sadako only made it to 644 paper cranes before she
died on October 25 1955 at the age of 12. It is important to continue to
recognize Remembrance Day because we are giving our respect to the soldiers in
heaven that died fighting for our freedom in WW1 and WW2. We “celebrate” it
because it was a happy and important day for all the families that had family
members fighting in the war, but it was a grim and solemn day for the families
that they had found out that one of their closest friends or family members had
passed away. Here is a link to the story of Sadako http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki.
