is going upstream.

But people are second guessing? They say Dwight Howard is leaving and that’s what they believe,

but if they do what they need, they can achieve.

So which do you like better? The Lakers,

or put your bet on the one and only Orlando Magic.

Everyone always loves J.J Redick,

Cause he never shoots a brick.

But of course everyone’s favorite is Dwight Howard,

cause he makes Kobe Bryant feel like a coward.

Ryan Anderson, shoots the ball,

better than Pau Gasol

Don’t you ever have that moment where you  pronounce Hedo Turkoglu’s name a funny way?

But even Hedo believes Ron Artest is child’s play.

My mom’s favorite is Jameer Nelson. Even though he might be short,

he is better than Derek Fisher on the court.

Even though we have some games on Monday,

it’s not as good as having a coach like Stan Van Gundy!

We have an awesome basketball team we’ll do just fine.

We have the moves to make them scared,

When we shoot we’re squared.  Up.

The three’s what we shoot the most,

it’s kinda what we do best.

Now you can guess what we can do next.

We’re like Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick,

All those awesome players are hand picked.

Finally the last shot was fantastic,

The basketball play time is over, it was enthusiastic.

The time of the year is filled with ecstasy and full of love
Understanding that you were meant to be
Our future is a mile a head as the presence passes by
That moment in time when family and friends are shouting, exultant
As your hearts pounds each step down that aisle
The melody is soothing and the crowd too.
That minute, that second when the both of you says
“I Do!”

Whoever knew that reindeer could fly.

HO!HO!HO! The big man says,

“Have you been a good boy or girl these days”?

The kids ask if they could ride to the North.

Just for a quick little spin.

They didn’t get in trouble.

“That would be cool,” said Flynn.

As they rode off to the North for a world of wonders.

I think they better hurry up, they said it’s going to thunder.

The made their way to the elves planet,

They met a creative little girl named Janet.

She was so proud to see the little kids face,

When she saw Mrs. Clause walking with a pace.

The children got a tour around the place,

And knew that before the elves ate they had to say grace.

They did so much things with them they just couldn’t believe their eyes,

They played this one game where they were Santa’s spies!

or spending time with your adorable puppy?

Do you love making cookies,

or hanging up your stockings?

Do you love getting presents,

or do you love giving presents?

Getting presents is an amazing thing to be thankful for.

So what’s better, getting clothes to put in your drawer,

or staying up till four?

What is Christmas?

Is it being thankful,

or being grateful.

Some people think that being thankful and grateful are the same thing,

but others say that a human’s hand is like a bird’s wing.

In others words, they believe that thankful and grateful are completely different.

Many people often take shoes for granted. There are children around the world who walk barefoot and can’t afford shoes or are either really torn or even do not have the money to buy new ones. Walking around barefoot can cause many infections such as swelling to the foot or podoconiosis. Blakes idea is not only to give shoes to those in need but to also understand why wearing shoes is so important.Blake Mycoskie is very inspirational about making tomorrow better. The name Toms is derived from the word “tomorrow”. Blake is made of such great character and spirit . He lives on a boat in Los Angeles. His favorite quote is by Ghandi…”Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Movember is an annual event where men come together in November and grow their mustaches out. The Movember Foundation charity is to raise funds and awareness for men with health issues. The men are not to shave for a month during November. Toms is involved with this charity they even have designed shoes established for the Movember Foundation.

Imagining the kids without shoes around the world,is like living with misery. A pair of shoes can change someone’s entire attitude or even the way they look at life. Smiling from ear to ear and shouting with exultancy. I can just imagine the look on their faces thanks to Toms support. These children whose days are fulfilled with darkness. I know they appreciate what is given, hopefully in just a matter of time their days will enlighten.This makes me sit back and think about life, what it has offered me. I am grateful for what I am and have. There should always be something to be thankful for simple as life itself, tomorrow isn’t promised to anybody.
Toms has an event consisting of going barefoot for a day. Its an event to spread awareness on how giving a child a pair of shoes can change their life ! Reflecting on my life, me spending a day without shoes would be horrible ! Imagine trying to visit different places without shoes . Basically there’s no where that you’re allowed to visit . There’s almost always a sign that says “shirts and shoes required”. The scarce stares as your walking by fault-finding people is an ugly situation. Being so used to shoes and going a day without can be really sensitive to our feet. The fact that we aren’t adapted to the feeling. Besides visiting places with clothing requirements and

being surrounded by critical people , I’d love to spread my awareness for children in need across the world.
A few years back , I remember my Great Grandma gave me a blanket ! I have since kept it and treated it with care. I always take it with me when I travel. The nice warm fur snug against me fulfills me with joy ! I was grateful for my blanket and will cherish it forever because I know my Great Grandma is becoming of age. I’m glad I have ”Blanky,” it’s something to have of her when she’s gone. Sometimes I am well-acknowledged of how blessed I am to have caring people surround me. When I want something new , I try not to be bratty. When I go school shopping every year I go through my closet to find what I no longer want anymore and I’ll donate it to those in need ! I am a person that understands people’s situation and if not I try not to be so critical because you never know what people go through. If someone is in need of a hand, I am a free hand always willing to give someone comfort.
“You have to give, in order to receive.” Is something I’ve always been told and believe are words to live by.

Travel around the world in eighty days.

I’m not a pilot.

What, that’s not me,

I don’t fly airplanes!

What do you expect me to do,

Create a bunny out of thin air.

I’m not a magician.

Though that would be cool!

What do you expect me to do,

Jump off a burning building and land in a pile of snakes.

I’m not a stunt woman.

That would be scary!

What do you expect me to do,

Ride a bike in “Le Tour De France.”

I’m not all that full of energy.

This is what you can expect me to do,

Dive for the volleyball when it’s going out of bounds.

SPIKE THE BALL!

But with all the mighty power my little heart can give.

Shoot a three when I get the chance,

Steal the ball from the opposing team.

And just give it my all.

I’m not perfect, but if you give me a chance……

I promise I will do my best to succeed!

Who am I,

I am tall 

I am short    

I am sorts of short   

I am sincere   

I am anxious  

But I am humorous.

I am outgoing     

I am smart

I am loving

I am blunt

I am so much fun.

Sometimes I wonder if I should change,

But people tell me to stay the same.

So who am I?

What’s my personality?

My mind is swaying with swagg in every direction,

Cause I was born this way.

I am who I am

I can change myself if I wanted to,

But I love the loving and jubilant way I am.

So the question is

Who Am I?

                                            I can feel my heartbeat. THUMP! THUMP!

An old lady came to the door,

           And said “My, you’re creative costume is so much to adore!”

                                                      I saw the full moon in an October Sky,

                                                       And saw a wicked witch fly by.

                                                     Traveling to 1,096 houses around the neighborhood,

                                                 I finally have a 2-year supply of goods.

                                        Candy Corn I ate the most,

                                           When something fell, I feared it was a ghost.

                                       I screamed at the top of my lungs,

                                      And I threw up the candy all night long.

                                           They woke up the next morning and thought there was   more,

                               But like Halloween, it ended early

so they can’t go prancing from door to door!
