The Bottled Up Memory

The memory that I would bottle up would when my sister was born and I saw her for the first time. When it comes to how many times I would open this memory would be when I would get really mad at my sister. I would open it and watch her be born all over again.

The date was October 2, 2003. I was at my grandma's house for the day while my mom was at a meeting at the doctor's office about my baby sister. My mom decided that she was sick and tired of having to be poked with needles, and the doctor said that she could have the baby. My mom called my grandma's house after she arrived to the hospital and said that she was ready to have the baby. while we were waiting for the right time we were having last second thoughts on baby names. I said I really liked the name Lily and my mom liked it too, but my dad wanted Liliana. We decided on Liliana Rose Knickman but we would call her Lily for short. That's the memory that I would bottle up.

NJHS Interviews

Today after school I'm supposed to go to an NJHS interview. I'm extremely nervous because I'm afraid I'm going to seriously bomb the interview. I'm nervous because sometimes I can get shy when it's just me and other adults in the room asking me questions about myself. Sometimes I'll have to think long and hard about the most simple questions they ask me like when my grandparents always ask " How's school going?" A very nice teacher, Mrs. DeBolt, just reassured me and told me not to be nervous and that I was going to do great. Thanks Mrs DeBolt!

MLK Day Vs. Veteran's Day

I think that if the district thinks it's important to be at school on Veteran's Day and learn about the veterans than we should be at school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day because Martin Luther King Jr. was just as important as the veterans of the United States. Veterans fought for our country risking their lives for our freedom, but Martin Luther King Jr. also did great things like fought for other peoples rights at his own risk.

The Fungus That Kills Bats

There is a fungus called White- Nosed syndrome, and it's affecting hibernating bats the most. So far, the fungus has killed millions of bats eastern U.S. Scientists have found the fungus in a 390 mile long cave ( Kentucky's Mammoth Cave National Park.) The cave has been closed for closed to the public for close to 100 years, but they are allowing it to stay open. They are making careful precautions in order to make tourists safe. This syndrome is causing these bats to behave awkwardly. All we can do is hope for the best and pray for these bats.

The First Time I Watched Gone With The Wind

The first time I watched Gone with the Wind was on Sunday and I loved it! My favorite character was probably Melanie because even though Scarlet did some mean things, she still was nice to her and made everyone else be nice to her too. My least favorite part of the movie was when Scarlet went home from Atlanta with Melanie and her baby and found out that her mother had died and her dad had become a lunatic.

I don't have very much experience with computers except to go to Microsoft Word. Since I don't have very much experience with computers i don't really have a favorite thing to do on computers. Something I would really like to learn about computers would be to be able to make a Power Point. Also, I would like to learn how to be able to have all the animations on my Power Point.

Sincerely,

Emma Knickman
