Six Flags

Six Flags is one of the best places I've ever been to in the world. I have a season pass to go there. I love the rollercoasters and games they have there. My favorite ride is Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast and I like it because of how fast it is, annd how fast it goes backwards. I have rode all the rollercoasters at Six Flags, but I won't ride Superman because I'm too scared to. I usually go to Six Flags with a lot of my friends, and it ends up being a great time. I like to go there but the things at this amusement park are all very expensive; especially all the food there. One time I went there with Mackensie and we payed $20.00 for 2 slices of pizza & four breadsticks. I like to goto Six Flags but I haven't been there for about two weeks; Six Flags is so fun.

Memory.

The memory that I would bottle up and hope I could keep forever and relive would be the first time I hit a homerun at a softball game. Hitting my first homerun had to be one of the greatest events of my life. After doing this I just felt like a weight was lifeted and I didn't have to worry about anything. I heard the crowd cheering and my teammates yelling my name, and when I got back to the dugout afterwards everyone gave me a highfive and hugged me. My coach told me that I had the greatest batting average on the team now too. I felt like the luckiest personn on earth. Then after the game my mom told me I did a good jjob and so did my dad... That meant a lot to me since I was only 9. We went out to DQ afterwards and got some icecream together! That has got to be the most amzing moment of my life. I would definitely relive that moment over and over again.

Down On The Farm

This blog post is about how I went to my friends farm with her over the past weekend. Brittany Jones is her name and she is like my best friend. We tried to build a club house thing on top of a shed but her brother and her friend took the spot first, so we attempted to find a new spot. That didn't work out at all. We were watching Brittany's brother do farm work on the tractor and he said we could ride on the tractor; It was a lot of fun. The other fun part about my time at the farm was that we were walking to a lake and we had to climb over a barbwire fence. Then Brittany almost stepped on a snake, so she ran and jumped the fence. The farm was such a great time, I hope I can go back soon.

The Prison Letter

After reading this mysterious letter I realized I had a friend that was in need. I called the police department and asked them if I could talk to my friend James McDonald. They let me talk to him on the phone limited to 20 minutes. He had told me what I could do for him, and I took it as a surprise. He said that he wanted me to help break him out from the jail cell. I didn't know what to do; I panicked. I thought about a way I could do this without getting caught. I agreed to help him break out from this solitary confinement. I told him that this plan was going to happen. At about 2 o' clock in the morning, I headed to the jail.

Dear Mrs. Debolt,

My name is Hailey and I am your best friend! You love me more than you love Amari Fisher. I play softball and I like hot wings. I have a cat named Snuggles, and he likes cat food. I like rootbeer but I mostly drink water. I have a brother named Logan and he's annoying.

I know how to use the internet and a lot of other programs. I don't know that much about computers though. I like to get on Facebook & Youtube with computers. I also use computers to make letters and things through Microsoft programs. Sometimes I even use the internet to look up things I need to know.

I'm interested in learning about how to use the computers to the fullest. I also know that the programs on a computer can be very complicated and I would liike to learn more about that. I don't know anything really about the water cycle, sorry about that.

Sincerely,

Hailey

Girls In India

These two videos are about how women in India are mistreated. Many young girls and babies are aborted or murdered every year. This is because many people cannot afford to have girls. People pay money to go and get an ultrasound to find out what gender the baby is. If it is a girl, people will most likely get an abortion. Getting an ultrasound is actually against the laws in India; so it is not spoken of. Many men struggle to find a wife, this is because there are only 30,000 women for every 100,000 men. That is quite a large difference between the genders. There is a shelter in India that takes care of the girls even when they are babies, even though almost all of them are half dead. This is because the mom took so many medicines to try and kill the baby. There was one mom who tried to keep the baby twins she as having but was neglected for it. Her mom had pushed her daughter down the stairs in hope of killing her.  I do not think that what is going on with gender discrimination in India is fair. These girls need to be able to live a good, healthy life. If I was the president of India I would change the laws and enforce that there would be no gender discrimination against women.
