Paragraph

Across the bumpy street and around the corner there lies a place full of fun. Within this place there is ringing, beeping, and tons of laughter. On the account of a big gray mouse whose appearance is nothing but a glee. Kids are running and playing climbing up and over to be at the top of the winding jungle gym, and if you wander through the big green arch way the sweet aroma of pizza is overwhelming. Where according to the logo and all of its occupants this is a place where a kid can be a kid. This place of course is Chuck E Cheese.

Teachers

There have been many teachers that I have come across in the twelve years I have been in school. Some were nice some were horrid. There have been a select few that have had a huge impact in my life.
Mr. Strauss, he wasn't the typical "favorite" teacher. He was somewhat rough around the edges. Most people didn't like him at all. He was my fifth grade teacher, and he was good at his job. The way he taught inspired me to learn more, and that's saying a lot seeing as I was ten years old. The way he taught just made everything so easy to learn. Although he was like I said rough around the edges he was a great teacher.
Another teacher that has left a impact in my life would be Ms. Taylor( later to be Mrs. Plaster). Her impact was not like Mr. Strauss' although she was a wonderful Spanish I teacher, and I did learn a good amount in her class. Her Impact was her kindness and the way she cared about people when she didn't have to. She helped me more than she could ever know threw the most difficult time in my life. She was there for me even when I didn't want anyone to be. She is by far one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in my entire life. Yes, i am but a mere seventeen but even when I'm eighty she will still be at the top of the list.
O.K. lets not forget the most amazing teacher of all time. Of course I am talking about the wonderful Mrs.Ladd. I can truly say that in Mrs. Ladd's class I have learned more than in any other class that I have ever been in. The things that I have learned In her class are things that I will keep with me for my entire life(and actually use in everyday life). She is not only a teacher but a friend. She has honestly become a role model for me. Mrs. Ladd has the qualities of both the other teachers above and more.
There have been so many teachers with so many personalities. These are the select few that have had the largest impact on me. Wether it be because of the way they teach or just them for who they are these are my "favorite" teachers of all time.

Nickname

Nicknames are a descriptive name given in place of or in addition to the official name of a person, place, or thing. So what is my nickname? The most popular of all the nicknames given to me throughout my life is Ari (R-E) it is abbreviated from my original name Ariana (R-E-ona). I am not sure why people cannot pronounce my name but I have gotten use to it and now don't even take the time to correct people anymore. In this way I do believe that I have a connection with Pi. My nickname was given to me when I was very little. I am not sure who really started it. It has grown on me so I have no objections to it. I have come to the point where I actually prefer to be called Ari. So this is my nickname, just a very simple Ari. There have been others but none that have stuck.

She walks in Beauty: Bailey and Ariana style

He strolls in grace, like a prince
of cloudless climes and starry skies
of his beauty he need not convince
Meet in his smile and his eyes
which have illuminated my heart long since
which heaven surely never denies

One shade the more, one ray the less
peace and warmth follow his royal highness
which all his noble men would confess
all this does not explain his shyness
where thoughts serenely sweet express
there would be no reason for slyness

His hair so golden, with eyes as blue as the ocean
so gentle, and peaceful, yet eloquent
A smile that wins, he has devotion
but tell of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all emotion
A heart whose love is innocent.

what am I good at?

What am I good at? What are your major strengths? As easy as these questions sound they are difficult for most people to answer. So what are mine? I am a good reader. I read alot and am up for any type of book. Although I hate to be assigned something to read. I am a good listener. If you take your time out to talk to me I will listen. I will never tell your secrets if you confide in me. When I put my mind to something I finish it and do it to its highest potential. My major strengths are my friendliness and my ability to solve problems. People depend on me to be there for them. To help them threw there rough times. They also depend on me to help them with whatever they need help with. For the most part I try and do all this for the people that depend on me. What are some of my skills? I am a O.K pool player. I good at making sense out of something that makes no sense at all. I am good with kids. I am reliable.







invention


There have been many new inventions of the decade. It was hard to pick which one was the best in my perspective. After thinking about it my choice is YouTube. YouTube is a online video sharing and viewing community. It was invented in 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. I chose YouTube because everyone uses it. People use it just for fun, for educational purposes, or for instruction. Could you imagine life with out YouTube? I don't Know about you but I YouTube everything. Time Magazine made YouTube 2006 best invention. The original YouTube was sold to Google for 1.65billion dollars. YouTube is in 22 countries. YouTube was the number one video site on the Internet as of January, with 67.5 million unique users in the U.S., according to Nielsen Net Ratings. People watch hundreds of millions of videos a day on YouTube. There is no doubt that YouTube has had a huge impact on not only the United States, but the entire world.
