Jessenia explains her family

Hi!  

Jessenia's family looks out
for each other

I’m Jessenia Mai. I’m going to tell you about my family. There are five kids in my family: four girls and one boy. My sisters’ names are Angela, Jennifer, and Josephine. My brother’s name is Jackson. We all live with my mom, except for my sister Angela who lives with her dad. (But right now she’s in college.)  My sister Angela is the first one who graduated from high school in my family.  Angela is 18 years old.  She’s the oldest in our family. Sometimes she comes over to the house and takes care of us if we have nothing to do.

My sister Jennifer doesn’t go to school. She wanted to go to Job Corps, but she still lives with us. She takes care of us everyday to make sure we’re safe. Jackson is my brother who is ten years old. He is the most creative person I know, and is able to make something out of anything that he sees. For example if he sees a box he would use it to make a WWE belt or something like that. 

I almost forgot about my sister Josephine!  Sometimes Josephine doesn’t come home, but instead just goes to her friend’s house all day long, so I barely get to see her.  My family really gets along.  We have great times everyday but sometimes we fight.  But we try to be nice to each other every now and then. My mom loves all of us equally.  (She loves me the most I bet)  I love how we look out for each other.  Nothing can change that. 

I love my family.  I bet you love your family too!

Gabby Hidalgo is one of the Most Awesomest 10 Year Olds!

Interview by Emily Saechao

My interview subject was Gabby Hidalgo.

Gabby loves purple--who doesn’t? It’s her favorite color. She has a wonderful personality.Gabby loves to write and play games on the computer.You’re probably thinking she’s an inside girl--well, she’s not! Gabby likes to play outside, especially on sunny days. She wears her hair up most of the time. If you see her she probably has her hair up! Gabby IS NOT a girly girl: she’d rather wear jeans than a skirt. (She’d rather wear skinny jeans, to be exact.) Gabby also doesn’t like to wear a jacket much, it must weigh her down when she’s running around with her friends!

Gabby wears ice skates at the
skating rink.

Gabby’s favorite place to be is at the ice rink.  She loves  ice skating.  Gabby is in fifth grade.  She is full of ideas,and cheerfulness!  You should meet Gabby, she will be kind and thoughtful. She will also be trustworthy. Gabby is cool, fun,energetic, and awesome!  She knows how to have fun with everyone.  If you are sad, she will cheer you up.  Gabby is really that cool!  Gabby is also a great artist, she can draw anything.  (Well almost.)  Either way what she draws looks great!  Gabby doesn’t judge people,and thinks no one should. Gabby is one of the most awesomest ten year olds I know. She’s also one of the funniest!

Gabby is a great.  No matter where she is, she respects the property.  She is quiet at the library and listens to the teacher.  Gabby is a wonderful person and I’m glad I got to interview and write about her.

All About Cody Ersland

Interview by Simone Willingham

One day I meet a boy named Cody Ersland.  He goes to school at Oliver Elementary--which is also where I go to school.  Here are some things that Cody likes, in no particular order:

Cody’s favorites include football, which is his most favorite game because he likes to tackle the other players. His favorite football team is the Green Bay Packers, because he likes their colors: green, yellow and white.  Family Guy is Cody’s favorite TV show, and Stewie is his favorite character on Family Guy because he keeps trying to kill his mom. Cody’s favorite food is nachos, and he really likes cheese on his nachos. Shrek is Cody’s favorite movie, and he really thinks Donkey is funny in that movie.  His most favorite teacher is Mr. Kenny because he is funny.  He would like to be a cop when he grows up because he wants to drive a police car.  

One day, Cody hopes to be a cop so he can drive
around a sweet car like this!

Cody really likes to go to the beach to look at seashells. Cody has fun collecting Hot Wheels cars. He has been collecting Hot Wheels “ever since he was a baby” and says he has over 1000 Hot Wheels cars.  The most scariest movie in the world that Cody has ever seen is Resident Evil because he thinks the movie is “awesome” and Leon is his favorite character in the movie because Leon does flips and kills the bad guys.  Cody’s teacher is Mrs. Ernstrom. When I asked Cody if he is a self-manager, he said: "NO!!!!!"
