My Pets! :)

One of my favorite things in my life is my pets! I have always loved animals since I was a little kid.  My grandpa and grandma used to live on a farm and the only memory I have there is the animals. I own three pets today! I have a cat, a dog, and a ferret.

 I have had my cat since I was 2 ½ years old.  Her name is Love "V". I got Love "V"from my grandma. They were going to kill her but I didn’t want them to so my parents, my brother, and I agreed to take care of her. My cat is a mischief but most of the time she can be good.  Love "V" can be nice one minute and 2 minutes she can be mean. She plays with the dog and the ferret.  My cat loves chicken. When we have chicken in the refrigerator, she will follow you around or will stand by the refrigerator 24/7.

I have a dog named, Tiny. I had Tiny around 4 years now.  Tiny is a full blood Chihuahua. She was originally my neighbor’s dog but he passed away. Tiny used to weigh 22 pounds but now weighs 13 pounds. Her old owner used to give her bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast, he gave her what he eats for dinner, and a chocolate cake for dessert. Now, we give her carrots. The owner wanted her be put asleep because he didn’t think anyone will love the way he did. He only let me own her. Tiny is a really good dog.  She listens to me and she never bites.        

Chi-chi is my ferret. She was originally my brother’s when he moved out. When he moved to cedar falls for collage, she stayed with us and she is ours now. Chi-chi is the thief in the family. She will take anything under the couch like toys, pencils, food, and etc. She has cookies that she will take under the couch also.  Chi-chi is like a kitten. She likes to play, and she has a lot of energy.  Usually ferrets bite but chi-chi doesn’t.  I love all my pets!

Friends around the world!

I have met a lot of people in other countries. I know people who live in Nigeria, Africa, and people who moved to china. I mostly met them from the exchange program. I met some people on facebook. I learned many life lessons from them and how their country is more different than ours.

One of my close friends is Debbie Ayuba. Debbie was an exchange student. She lives in Nigeria, Africa. Debbie and I met at church. I wasn’t really close to her at the beginning but we got really close on New Years! Her sponsor family was hosting a party and Debbie and I became friends in a minute. We had so much in common. Sometimes, I swear we are twins. Debbie respected people for who they were. I learned a lot by Debbie. If I need something or need someone to talk to she would be right there. When Debbie left back to Nigeria, we are still really close. Every now and than, I will call her and see how she is doing. Rarely, we will communicate on the Internet.

One of my other friends is Blessing Ibrahim. Blessing and I met on facebook and on gmail. Debbie introduced me to her. Blessing is another exchange student. She lives in Africa also. I talked to her on the phone a lot when she was in the United States. I met her in person once. I met her at Adventureland in Des Moines, Iowa, when the exchange students got together and spent their last day with there host families and friends. Blessing was really sweet, kind, and cool person. I wished I could spend more time hanging out with her.

Janet Markus is one of my other friends. We also met on the Internet. Blessing and Debbie introduced Janet to me.  Janet and I still communicate on the Internet. She lived in Africa too but she moved to China a couple months ago. Janet is really nice, and a sweet girl. Janet and I have a lot in common too. Janet and I both enjoy basketball. We never met in person yet but hopefully one day we will.

I learned a lot of things from Debbie, Blessing, and Janet. Mostly one thing I learned from them was to keep on having fun and don’t let anyone ruin it. The other thing I learned from them is sometimes we take things for granted and don’t realize it. I am very grateful for having them in my life.

St. Louis

One of my favorite places I have been to is St.Louis. Our band and orchestra went there for a trip. We went there on April 9, 2010 and stayed there for three days.  I had a really good time at St. Louis. I had a lot of my friends there and we went to many colleges. We did a lot of fun activities.

Before we went to St. Louis we went to one of the colleges. We performed at the Wartburg College. We were there about 2 hours. The students gave us a tour around the campus. I kind of enjoyed that.  After they gave us the tour, we went to their cafeteria and ate there.When we were finished with the college, we headed to St. Louis. It took us about 7 hours to get there. It was a long trip there but it was worth it. We basically watched movies in the charter bus. I listened to music for a couple hours and talked to my friend Brittany. 

When we got there, everyone met at the Gateway Arch Riverboat. I had a great time on the dinner cruise but I was a little disappointed.  I had Chicken Champagne and it was great. I had a great time hanging out with my friends. There was background music. I was a little disappointed because we didn’t move.  The other thing I liked about the cruise is it was right next to the St.Louis arch.

After the cruise, all of us went to the City Museum. The City Museum was really fun. There were a lot of things to do in there. I wish I could did more but we ran out of time. They had a big slide you can go on and things you can climb on. When I got there I felt I was like a little kid again.

The next day we went to Six Flags and most of us went to an orchestra concert. I had a really good time at Six Flags. My friends and I went on rides and played some games.  The orchestra was all right. The people were really talented but I wasn’t really all that into it.

The last day we went to the zoo and the mall. The zoo was fun. I haven’t been to the zoo for a long time, so that was fun. The only animals I really liked were the tiger/lion and the penguins.  The mall was great. I wished I had more time to shop. I got a CD and a purse. I had a great time in St. Louis and I am glad I went.
