Meet someone
Today I want you to think about 2 people you would love to meet personally. Give me their names and why. You would tell their name and why you wanted to meet them. It could be a star or even a family member you never met, but you must tell me why?

Proverbs are sayings with a message:
1. You can't judge a book by it's cover. (don't judge people by their looks)
2. You don't get something for nothing (You will have to work for your success)
write a proverb or saying you know, and give the meaning.

Pets are Great
Pets
Pets are very calming for some people. Many hospitals allow pets to come and visit patients that are scheduled for surgery to calm patients.
Pets also have jobs such as seeing eye dogs for the blind.
What is your favorite kind of dog? If you have a pet tell me what it is and what is his name. If you do not have a pet tell me about a family or friends pet.
BE DESCRIPTIVE when you describe your pet.
