Yesterday it started to rain. Before we ran inside we got soaked. First we ran into the building. Then the thunder and lightning lasted for hours.

These are some of the most important things that I want to do in 2017 and why. First of all I want to pass the STAAR test because I want to go to sixth grade along with all of my friends. Another thing that I want to do this year is read more so I can learn more and possibly help me pass the STAAR test. Something else that I want to do this year is be as nice as I can be and help people more often because I would want them to do the same for me. Another thing that I want to do in 2017 is to try to get along with my new family members the Yarbrough’s. Those are just the most important things that I want to do in 2017.

I am saddened by what happened on December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor. I am sad that about 2,000 of those U.S men and woman died that day. Japan thought that attacking us would make us want to leave them alone, but we did the opposite and fought back. This was the attack that brought us into World War II.
