Small Insparation

In the beggining of this text my thoughts were wow this is kind of like my life when i was younger except for the fact instead of a younger it was older, and instead of father it was mother.

In the middle I was thinking wow the little sister is kind of like me in some ways and the older sister is kind of like my older sisters too.

In the end  I was  thinking wow thats horrible I realized that is what my brother lived though a bit.

My overall thoughts of the story was wow those kids suffer through alot and  it reminds me on how my life was  when my mom was not with my step-dad

Courage :)(;

Last winter my family and I went to Eliot Lake to visit the family. My grandpa has the idea to blow up a tube tie it to the back of his jeep and drag us girls behind the jeep.  Of course my sisters are all for it but, me on the other hand saw it as dangerous. So they talked me into it and I was on top of everyone and holding them in the tube. it was horrible.  I was so scared.  In the end I discovered i had the courage to face my fears.  I also ended up having tones of fun too. So mental note don't be afraid to try new things because you just might end up liking it. :) 

When you feel courage you feel like you just concored a fear like u accoplished something that was impossible. It feels great. :)
