Letter to the reader, Blog #13
Word count: 435

            I really enjoyed writing all of my blogs, this year.  Therefore I would say that a reader should read all of my bogs because I try to make them interesting. But some of my favorite blogs include ones like describe a grandparent. I enjoyed this entry because I really love my grandpa and I was able to think of past memories and things that my grandpa and I have done. I also enjoyed the entries about thinking of myself in x amount of years. Those were very fun to write but might not be as fun to read. This is because in those blogs I talk about achieving my goals. So unless the reader has a very similar lifestyle, goals, and likes to me, then those might not be interesting. Those blogs may not be on the top of a readers list. My advice to any new blogger or a blogger that is struggling to maintain a blog would be to keep up to date and put in many entries that will keep your readers interested. If you just want to write a lot, get a notebook and stop wasting space on your hard drive on your computer. If writers are every in a pickle and are not sure what to write about. I always find that making up a magical land or creating a battle scene is sure to spark your writing skills. I really enjoy writing; it’s one of my favorite things to do once that I can get a good story going. Writing allows one to express their self and tell a story how they want it to be heard. I believe that practice does make perfect and that you should just keep writing daily to get better at it. A few predictions that I have for myself would be things like going into the military. This has always been a dream of mine. I enjoy camping, shooting guns, fireworks, and just being outside all the time. So I believe that this would be a good thing for me to do. A few other predictions I have for the world around me is that we are soon going to be run by the Chinese or become a third world country. I also think that we will all become fat at least the majority of America, because of people not working out and because of the bad diets that everyone has. I think the bears are getting ready to win a super bowl and that Obama will end up being in a traumatic accident.

Describe a Grandparent Blog #12
Word count: 264

The grandparent that I am bringing into my story is my grandpa, Larry D. Moore. Although all my grandparents are great I love my grandpa Moore a lot. My grandpa has always been awesome. He’s taken me working with him, taught me to drive stick shift in his jeep, takes me to car shows and stock car and drag races, and I get to work with him when he needs me and I love that. His house and its location are legendary in my family everyone knows about the “farm” that is just what we like to call it, instead of grandpas house or grandma’s house. It’s just a lot more interesting. My Grandpa and I like to go shoot our guns out at his house and that’s nice because its fun and I can’t do that at my house. My grandpa is also very funny and kind and just loves to joke with people that I really love about him. He is also a survivor of stage 4 colon cancer and that I admire about him greatly. It’s also nice because we collect the same types of things; we collect toy cars and car banks and tractors. My collection is not as near as Vass as his, but I like collecting them. He started getting me into collecting coins also when I was very little and I have all of the quarters in mint from each state from 2000. My grandpa Moore is just a great, fun, funny guy and I love him a lot.

I Remember…Blog #11
Word Count: 281

I remember when I was about nine years of age. I went to my grandma’s house for the fourth of July. They live on a lake and we have a Rinker 14ft. speed boat, we love to go out and ski, tube, and wakeboard even though my uncle and I are the only ones who can, wakeboard. On this specific Fourth of July, it was extremely hot. So my family and I decided to take out our boat and go tube. We went around the lake a few times in the tubes until I got board and wanted to ski. I thought it would be fun and challenging because the lake was extremely busy, even for a holiday. So my dad agreed to my request and I started skiing. On my first lap around the lake I made it around fine. But on the second lap, almost every boat seemed to be in the main channel. And on the holiday people don’t think and are drinking so my dad had to make an evasive maneuver to try and keep me out of harms way. This did not work because I soared over numerous huge waves and crashed down into the water. As I went into the water both skis flew off my feet and on their way up, one managed to launch itself into my face. Splitting it open for all to see, this resulted in me coming out of the water holding my bloody face and making my parents think my eye was torn out of my face. Luckily that wasn’t the case and I only needed five stitches and not a fake eye.

It is 5/30/14 I have just graduated high school and have had a few options on colleges. I have been accepted into the air force academy in Colorado, and also west point in New York. I have walked on at west point football and am planning to wrestle and or play rugby. I am looking at becoming an engineer in the military, specifically a combat engineer and being on the front lines. After I go through all of my schooling at the “Point” I wish to gain entry to ranger school, and successfully pass that. I am also looking forward to the Special Forces Q or qualifications course and passing that. I have a smoking hot girlfriend and she is waiting for me for when I get out of the military. I have a house in the Lake of the Ozarks, and also in Hawaii. I am a certified night and deep sea diver, Life is great. My entire family gets together each year in the summer and everyone is strong and healthy. We are also all very close. I have been awarded the All-American title in football, wrestling, and track and ran a 1:57minute 800 meter run. Not only have I done well in sports in school I have ran many triathlons along with the Warrior Dash that I run in with my dad every summer. And am training for the ironman. Life has been wonderful this entire 2014 and I look forward to my life, in the future.
