rough draft

I am going to write about a person that inspires me. This person is my mom, Tracy. She has many characteristics to describe her. She is helpful, hardworking and humorous. She has many more traits than this, but I will tell you about these.
I consider her hard working because she has a good job. She has worked very hard her whole life to get this job. She currently is a dispatcher for the county. A dispatcher is when someone calls 911 and she answers the phones. When she answers the phones, she has to stay calm and help people through their problems. It’s really cool to watch her work with all of the different computers and information.
I also consider her humorous. Almost everyday we are always laughing and joking around about stuff. This is her trait that inspires me the most. She passed this one down to me. I think that she got this from my grandma too. She is always fun to be with, even though she is sixty some years old, she drives go-karts and stuff like that.
She is very helpful too. Whenever I need help with homework, she tries her best to help me. Some family and friends of hers needed her to sew stuff back together, and she gladly accepted. During concerts for orchestra, or field trips for school, my mom likes to chaperone.
So overall, I would say that my mom is a good person. She has many traits that I hope I will get when I get older. She is really fun to hang out with.
I hope I will get a good job when I grow up. My goals are to get into a good college and get an exceptional job. To achieve these goals I plan on getting a good education now and working hard like my mom has. The trait that I would need for this is hardworking and smart. My inspirational message to offer others about pursuing their educational goals, never give up. This is very important because if you give up you will never get anywhere. Another one could be is try your hardest every day. If you don't try you wont get into a good college, or even graduate highschool.

Book Report Part 2

There were a lot of choices in this book which lead to things being learned. Maddie had gotten accepted into the college in California, Santa Cruz. But, she also got accepted to Georgia State, where Ian and Angela are going. She thought about it for a while and chose what was best for her. She decided to go to Santa Cruz. Angela is dating this boy named Logan and things aren’t connecting between them. For Valentine’s Day Logan gives Angela a jeep. She tries staying with him, but ends up breaking up with him. After they are apart, she found out that Jana and Logan have been together for a while. Angela learned to do what is right, even if it is a hard thing to do. Zoe eventually ends up sleeping with Doug, her boyfriend. Overall I rate this book a 10. I really enjoyed this book. I think that many other girls would enjoy them too. It was very easy to read and hard to put down.

Book report part 1

I am reading l8r g8r by Lauren Myracle. I am really enjoying the book so far. I would give it a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. I think that I like this book because I can relate to it a little bit. It’s about school and all of the drama involved. It’s also like an online chat room, so it is a fast read. I also keep reading it; I never want to put it down. Any girl would like this book. I do not think that many boys would like it though. The character that I think I’m most like is Maddie. She is tough, stubborn and doesn’t let too many things get her down. She also follows her dreams. She hates change, but I don’t. I like to try new things. There isn't a theme yet in the book. I predict that Maddie will end up going to college with Ian, her boyfriend, and Angela because she doesn't like change. Zoe will probably end up getting into the college she wants. The whole deal with Jana will end after they graduate.
