Ally, in the beginning, was shy, and afraid to stand up for herself, but now she is not afraid to tell how she feels, but Ally still have some fears, but she is able to help others.

At first Ally’s classmates, were mean or wouldn’t get involved with situations that the classmates are facing. Now there are some helping but there is still conflict with the class.

I think Mr. Daniels is a understanding, kind, generous, and helpful. He helps the class to figure out their talents, and helps them to get better at things that are hard for them.

It is real life like because their are kids who make fun of other kids just by the way they look, wear, or what they can’t do, but their are also kids that help kids with their conflicts and standing up for them . This stuff can happen to anyone. I had an experience of this before,  it was hard but then I begin to believe in myself and others helped me.

Dear Broadlands,

   I like  how colorful, bright, and comforting you are, I like to hear the nice and fun name of you, Broadlands, but when I met you at age four, at first, I thought that I wasn’t able to get along with you. I started school six years ago at Hillside Elementary School, and now I’m here at Eagle Ridge Middle School. But maybe sooner I might not be staying with you any longer, I’m going to move in a year or two and I think all those memories I’ve made, and sometimes I’m not ready to leave you behind, you were like a sibling to me, whenever I’m happy I look at you as if I want to squeeze you, and whenever I’m sad I always want some comfort from you.

        I laughed and cried with you, I look at you and hoped that I will never leave your side, I’ve met some friends that I wouldn’t meet without you, I’ve been through hard times with you, but we always end up working it out. I remembered the first time came here, I was confused with you and thought that you didn’t make sense, but I was the one who didn’t make sense not you, and soon I realize that you’re  like someone who is understanding and wants someone else to feel safe.

        I hoped you’ve have a great time with me as much as I did with you, but soon I’m gone as dust being blown by wind. It’s been 7 years since I’ve gotten along with you, maybe 8, but as long as stay here with you, it will be a blast!! Even if I move away, I will always remember you and that there no place like you. You have a fascinating history that is so different and unique. Sometimes you’re hard to figure out in some way. I wish I can stay here, I wish I can be here for great ideas to improve your home.

     I  don’t know what I’ll do about you, it’s hard to let you go especially since

I’ve lived here enough to love and enjoy, but life is leaving more stuff behind, and I want to thank you for telling me what that means, because I wouldn’t be able to discover the New World without you because you are almost everything. Kind, loving, friendly, hopeful, controlled, and  safe. Now until the day comes, I want the best last year or two from you, as time passes by. I will never forget you, my dear sibling.                                                    

Yours Truly,

Rebeca Sanchez
