A picture is worth a thousand words

Every day we all wake up at the same time and eat dinner all together that’s the tradition of my family and what my mom always told me. I know I’m young but I do get it she works a lot for us to be okay, she prepare the best pies ever, I love them. Their pies are so sweet and delicious. My mother name is Patricia she is 30 years old and she loves to cook pies and to feed our hour and dog. My father name is John he is 32 years old and he work in the farm. He always bring a lot of fruit specially apples. My mom use the apples to make the delicious pies. My grandmother the mom of my dad lives with us because my grandfather died and she was by herself so my dad decided to take her to live with us. My two brother are twins they don’t look the same and they don’t act the same but they do think the same their so funny. My name is Amanda and I’m 6 years old. I love to eat pies and play out side with my brothers specially when is spring because I could play with other kids.


When we all finish eating our dinner and my dad get ready to go to work and he always take the horse with him. We all say good bye to my him and then I have to help my mom to pick up the table and then I could go and play outside with my brothers and friends. I always to this because that’s the only way I can help my mom with something. When we were all outside happy playing with our dog it started to rain and we went inside the house until the rain pass. I was staring at the rain when I get an idea to, my idea was to sale apple pies and with the money that we get we can fix our house and buy things that we need. My mom and my grandma agree with my idea and we stared to make pies. The first to two months it did work but then people stop buying it because the pies were all the same type. The we decided to make other kinds of pies.


More people started to buy pies and then we decided to open a small store were we can sale pies. I love to help my mom and my grandma to make pies and then one day my dad decided to buy a little piece of land so he could work it and plant all the fruits that we need to make pies. Many people know us because of the delicious pies that we sale and we are all proud of our hard work. Now we all live in good conditions and we can sit down at dinner and eat our delicious pies.

The secret

It was my best friend’s deepest, darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep. I didn’t know what to do, this was the hardest decision that I ever have to make if I tell the family of my friend or if I just stay quite. I need to think more of what I’m going to do because I don’t want to loss my friend friendship and her trust in me but at the same time I don’t want her to do nothing stupid or bad. What I do know is that I need to help her and try to convince her not to do that but how can I do that. I know her very well and I know that she is a good person and that she want the best for her family and friends but this time she want their family to feel bad and pay for what they did to her. This secret is driving me crazy and I need to help her but how would I convince her not to do her deepest and darkest secret.


How would I help her this was my question since she told me that her parents don’t love her and that they always are doing this bad things that hurt her. Her deepest and darkest secret was that she want to kill herself or runaway from her home. I’m super nervous because I don’t know if I such tell my friend’s family or just stay quite and don’t do nothing. But no I decided to tell someone this secret because they will be able to help me. I decided to tell my mom because I know that I could trust her and that she will never trade me. When I tell her this she was sock and she told me that I have to talk with my friend and convince her not to do nothing that can affect her.


The next day when we were in school I sit next to her and I tell her “how are you doing” and she answer me “ I’m okay and you” I tell her “I’m kind of worry about you, and about that secret” she told me “oh, I know I don’t want you to think that I’m crazy or a bad person is that I’ m confuse and you know why” I tell her “I know, your parents are not the best parents but sometimes they don’t know how to show love but I’m sure that they love you” she answer me “ how do you know, you don’t even know them” I she told me “ I know that I don’t know them but what I do know it that I do know you very well and I also know that you won’t do nothing bad because you do love your parents and you will never do nothing that can hurt them”, then she decided to leave.


In that same day I called my mom and I tell her to take me to my friend’s house. When I was there I enter inside the house and I ask the women that open the door if I could talk to Annie’s mom. She told me that she was Annie mom I was like oh okay. Then we
sit in the sofa and she was very kind with me, and them I tell her I’m here because I need to tell you something very important about Annie, she told me that she think that you and your husband don’t love her and that you never pay attention to her and that you don’t understand her. She told me’ that’s not true that she always is their for her and that Annie id doing all this just to take their attention” I answer her “ I don’t think that the is true because Annie is not the type of girl and you know what she also told me” she said “ no what? “ she told me that she want to kill herself or runaway form your house” she didn’t tell me nothing then she stay quite and then she told me to leave.

Then I tell her that she is dong bad because Annie is a wonderful person that love her and that care about her. My mom was inside of the car waiting for me, when I get inside the car she ask me want happen and I tell her that my friend is right their parents don’t love her and that she decided to runaway I’ll help her to do it. Then my mom got out of the car and she told me to wait here. I was waiting for like half an hour when I saw my friend Annie coming and then I get out of the car and I say hi to her. She told me “what are you doing here “ and I told her “ oh, nothing just passing the time” she told me “ oh, I have the feeling that you are not telling me the true” then I answer her “ okay I’m here because I came to talk with your mom about that” she got very anger at me and then she went inside her house. Ten minutes later my mom and my friend came out together. I was like ok what is happening here. The next thing I new was that very thing was okay with my friend that she change her decision about the secret. Then she hug me, and she told me “ can I tell you a secret”.

Her mysterious death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances and I was assigned to the case. Her name Vanessa smith only 17 years old, she was kidnapped and then found death in a abandomated house. She was found in really bad conditions, the only clue that I have was the note that her killer left next to her body that and it said “I didn’t what to do it but she force me, she new that I love her but she decided to go out with him. Kevin I hate you and be careful because you could be the next.” This was the most mysterious case that I ever have and I was very interesting and determinate to solve it. I spend days thinking about this case I interview Vanessa’s mother she was heartbroken because her only daughter was assassinated and the only thing that she want, was to find the person that did this and put him in jail for the rest of his life and that’s what I want too. The conversation with Vanessa’s mom was very interesting and helpful she was very kind and honest, she also answer all my questions with really good details. I ask her when was the last time she saw her daughter alive, she answer it was on April 13, 2008, she was getting ready to go to college I was going to take her but something happed to my car that didn’t what to work. Then I gave her money to take the bus. I ask her how much money do you gave her. She answer 20 dollars and that was the last time I saw her alive.

I also ask her how was Vanessa was she a good daughter or did she had problems with some that make her killed her. She said no, she was a very smart girl, the people that was around her love her because of the way she was, she was very popular at school and she had a lot of friends and a boyfriend named Kevin. What can you tell me about Kevin? Well Kevin is a cute guy she is very atlic and he loves to play basketball, he is also very popular at his school. I ask her how long does Vanessa was going out with Kevin. Her mom told me that they will going to have three years on April 28 of this year. I ask Vanessa’s mom that if she note something different form her daughter. She answer me that the only thing that she see different from her daughter was that she was writing a lot in a diary that I gave her. I ask her were was that diary and she told me that she believe is in her bedroom. I ask her if I could have it and that was ok for her so, she went upstairs and she stared to look for Vanessa’s diary and she found it under Vanessa’s bed. She gave it to me and then I said good bye to Vanessa’s mother and went to Vanessa’s boyfriend Kevin. I nokehis door and he open, I interview my self and tell him that I need to ask him some questions about Vanessa’s death. He said that it was ok and that he hope that I can found the responsible of this crime and sent him to jail.


I ask him what was his relationship with Vanessa and he told me that she was his girlfriend since the same day they went to collage. How was Vanessa with you? he said that she was a very sweet person and that she was very kind with everybody and that he loves her a lot. He also told me that she was kind of nervous days defore her death. She told me that she things some one was following her on her way to collage and that this person one day also follow her to he home. I got nervous and mad too because she didn’t told me the same day that this happed and she told me this a day before after she was kidnapped. He told me that he didn’t know what to do, he was very sad and he stared o cry. It seems that he really love her and he would do anything to help me solve this case. He also know that the person that killed his girlfriend hates him because he was going out with Vanessa and that he did crime because he or her was jealous of their relation ship. My only clues were that had were the diary of Vanessa, his mother and boyfriend interviews and the anomies note. This was the most important case that I ever have, when I stared to read Vanessa’s diary I new that this will give me the answer of who was the killer of Vanessa. When I open the diary the first thing that was there was a picture of her and his boyfriend with all her classmates. When I stared to read it very thing seems normal but then she stared to describe a person that he call “B”, she describe B as an angry person that used to like her in high school and he always was checking her everything that she did she also mention that she think that B was following her to school
and to her home. She said that B ask her out but when they were in high school but I told him kindly no. Now I know who is the killer of Vanessa it was B, but now I have to know who’s B. This will be the saluting to the case, I need to find out who is B. I decided to go to Vanessa’s boyfriend and ask him if he knows who is B. When I went to his house there was a friend of Kevin, he introduce me to him. Kevin told me that he was Bob. He told me that I could called him B, that this was his nickname. I was sock the killer of Vanessa was Kevin friend. I didn’t said a word to Bob. I went to Kevin bathroom and called the police. When the police arrive to Kevin house I told him that the killer of his girlfriend that his suppose friend Bob. He got so mad that he r stared to hit him. Then the police took Bob with them, I was happy because her mysterious death was solved.

How to make Logandale better

What would make Logandale a better school, there are many things that would make Logandale a better school for example if the school give their students better food, if the schools let their students wear whatever they want and if the schoolhave more activities for students for example music, art, drama, sports, and more after school programs.I think that this will help Logandale to be a better schooland students to be interesting to come to school and not move to other school. The school is oredy a good school but this are some of the things that the school can do to be better and students want to come to Logandale and make it their favorite school and second home.

If Logandale give their students better and delicious foos some students will be interesting to come to school and eat something different each day and eat something that they have never ate in their life. This will cause that many students will come to Logandale because of their food. The students won't have to worry about what their going to eat because they know it would be something delicious and healthy for us too. The school can let students bring their own food, candy, drinks, and chips. This will cause that many students wil be eating what they want and they will be happy.

Other thing that our school can do to make this school better for the students and for more students to transfer to this school will be that if our principal let us wear whatever we want. In this way students will feel like if we are at home and we won't have to be buying uniforms and we could wear clothes that show our personality and what we like to wear outside the school. This will also help students to know ous better and see if they will likw to have us as friends or not. I think that this is a great idea and many kids would like to wear something else than is not a uniform. If some students don't like this idea they could still wear the uniform but it won't be a requirement to wear it.

Another thing that would make our school a better school will be if the school could have more activites at their regular school schedule and after school too .This will make students interesting to come to schoo. and participate in this activities. They will have the opportunity to learn something new and teachers could help them in their after school programs, with their homework or class work or in other thing that we need help. If our school could have programs like music, drama, sports, dance and more other activities this will make students to be interesting and sing up for this activities and other students fromdifferent schools will like to move to this school because we will have more programs that students like and want to be able to participate.


In conclusion this are my reasons of what our school Logandale should do to make this school a better school a better school for us the students and other kids from different schools that would like to come to this school. Our school is oredy great but this are just some ideas that we as the students of this school will like and that will make us more interesting to come to school and be happy and exciting to learn and eat something new each day because the schoolis like our second home and we have to feel good and safety in our school because we spend a lot of time here and because Logandale is our home.
