I am very good at building things I built 2 go-karts and i'm working on a 3rd my dads a mechanic so I guess I get it from my dad.

When I grow up I want to be a mechanic but I don't want to work on new cars just old and sometimes build racecars then race them.

Good comments, guys and gal :)
We have a lot of talent in this group.

Don't forget to write about your values. What is important to you?
Family? Friends? The ability to persevere? Happiness? Laughter? Trying your best? Bringing joy to others? Honesty?

Those are some of my values! :)

I am good at jump roping and I am good at soccer. I like to be on a soccer team but I never could because
my dad would think i would break something. But some day my dreams will come true!!!

Gabe,
DO NOT GO TO THE ARMY! You could die. Me and all the others would seriously miss your friendship. Especially me!

Dear Gabe
Why would I want to go to the
army me and you could be killed.

What do I want to be when I grow up. I want to be a Coast Guard person. Because my dad said that being a Coast Guard will lead you onto a good life and saving lives. And he said that you will make good money too. And once you retire you will get a good retirement package. Or my dad said or be a cop. Because my dad was a cop in Massachusetts and he said that a cop's life can be very dangerous but my dad said that you can do that. And I would like to follow in my dad's footsteps. Another thing my dad said you will get a very good pay check to. What things are important to me to lead a good life is like I said to either be a Coast Guard Or be a Cop To save lives no matter wherever it is. What my values are is my family,friends,my grandma and grandpa. In what am I talented in I am talented in sports, reading, writing, spelling, and other stuff I am in to. Just ask Joby.

As for my talents, I think I am kind of talented as a teacher and a photographer.

I love to teach and work with kids and I love to take pictures. I also know that I need to keep pushing myself to be a better teacher and photographer though. Part of my values are to always try to get better and be a better person. I want to make sure I am always learning and growing as a person and in my professional life.

Gabe, Bailey,Jack

If I get into the Coast Guard. Or become a cop. I could get killed to. Wether it is drowning or being killed by something being a cop. I will never give up and I will never give up. No matter how hard the task is. So Gabe go in the Army if you want to. I know I'll either be a sea away. Or I'll be miles away. If I ever get a chance to see you.I'll take that oppurtunity and see you. If your captian thinks that it's o.k.

Bobby

P.S. I didn't know this but Elijah is flat footed so he couldn't join the Navy or the Army.

Ms Parent,

That is very true. You are a great teacher. And you are an awesome photographer to.

Jack,

That's awesome that you know how to build go-carts. Now do you know how to build 2 drag racing cars. Maybe we could drag race some time. [just kidding] But that would be totally sweet though.

Bobby

Sabrina,

That's cool that you want to be on a soccer team when you grow up. But what team would you want to be on. United States,Argentina,Japan, China,Brazil,Canada,Europe,Australia,Tokyo,. And the list just keeps on going. And even if you did get hurt on purpose the referee will either take out a red card and take that person out of the game. Or the referee will either take out a yellow card and give them warnings.

Elijah,

I know I've known you since 1st grade. But I didn't know you were break dancing for 9 years. That is very shocking even for me. I thought you were break dancind since you were like 7 years old. Very SHOCKING.

Bobby

P.S. How long has Ezekiel been break dancing?

Anonymous said...

Gabe,

If Tony moves you could still be in the Army with him. It doesn't matter how far away you are you could still talk. Or do you mean that Tony will like be moving out of this country and he will be going to a different continent. Then it might be a little bit of a hassle to get Tony in the Army with you. But I think you and Tony could pull it off. But what about Trevor. Or does he want to become like a NFL legend. Or does he just want to go into the NFL. I don't know you could go with honestley. But not me though.

Bobby

Elijah,

How about you get Gabe into what you want to do for your living. If you don't want to go into the Army.

Bobby

P.S. What do you want to do for your living? Football,Construction worker,Ambulence technician,what tell me I'm dying to know what you want to do for your living?

Anonymous said...

Gabe,

How do you mean that. That when you grow up you're going to help your mom and dad. Do you mean that you're going to give them money,protect them,live in the same state as them,live right next door to them. I am so eager to find out how you plan on taking care of your mom and dad when you grow up.

Bobby

Jack,

Would you either want to be a lead mechanic when you grow up. Or would you want to work for someone. Or would you want to open up your own mechanic place callled Jack's inc.

Bobby

P.S.My cousin Josh used to work for a mechanics place called Mike's mobile inc.

Gabe,

You know how you said you don't know what you're good at. And you need to push yourself more. I think that push will get you going and you will finally know what you're good at.

Elijah,

Does your dad break dance to. Or does all of your family do.

Bobby

Anonymous said...

Gabe,

Like you said I gotta push myself. Well I wonder what would happen if you push yourself more. Would you do better a stuff your not good at. Or would you put to much pressure on yourself and not know it. And you would start being bad at the stuff your good at right now. Or excersize more and get really fit and like be the world's strongest man. It could happen. [It is a show on ESPN]

Sabrina,

Dear Group,
It also sounds like the values that you ALL have in common are caring for others, friendship, and giving your friends positive feedback.
These are all wonderful qualities!
You are ALL wonderful kids!

Jack, you should go to The Humane Society (Harbor Humane). I volunteer there and we have a ton of sweet dogs. A golden-retriever just came in and there are so many other kind dogs too!

Bobby, I always want to learn mosre about my surroundings and about my kids too. I think it is always important to be observant and to listen to others. I get to listen to you through this blog :)

Gabe, I like that you said you need to push yourself more!

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

:)Ms. P
