As you unfold the golden wrapper to a lustrous piece of magnificent chocolate, you feel like you have been blessed by angels. You cover the milky goodness with your mouth and chew. The tiny bubbles explode inside of your mouth and it feels like a blast of energy and happiness. No word can describe what you are currently feeling.


Chocolate is a great thing. It comes in many forms and each one is amazing. Things like chocolate pudding and chocolate sauce, but best of all...Aero bars. Not everyone will agree with me, but i know that millions of people will. I know what your thinking. How could Aero bars be so special? What makes them so yummy? How are they different from other chocolate bars? One reason, they contain tiny bubbles inside the chocolate bar. If you let the chocolate melt in your mouth, it feels like the tiny bubbles are popping inside of you. It is such a sensational feeling.


There are so many kinds and brands of chocolate on earth. I believe that Aero bars have to be one of the best. These tiny bubbles are what makes this chocolate bar so remarkable. Who knew that something so small could make this chocolate bar such a fabulous thing. "Small events and choices determine the direction of our lives just as small helms determine the directions of great ships."

When the morning sunlight awakens you to a beautiful new day, you realize that there are so many great things to do. You get dressed into your shorts and t-shirt and walk out the door. The heat of the immense sun tingles your senses and you walk down the street to a new day of fun and excitement.


My favourite season of the year is most definitely summer. There are so many fun activities to do and so many places to go. For example Canada’s Wonderland. This is the best place to go when your looking for some extreme roller coaster rides and a fun time with your family or friends. Another place would be Bingemans, more of a water park with really fun slides. I enjoy both of these places because they are so much fun and they are great places to go with your family.


Some family places that we go to are to our cottage. We have had our cottage for a long time and we spend a lot of our summer time there. Sometimes my mom’s family from Scotland will come over and we take them to our cottage. There are many great memories from there that I will always remember.


I have many great summer memories that will stay in my heart forever. I believe that the summer has brought me and my family closer because we spend so much time together doing fun things. I hope that every summer I can do these amusing things with my family. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. ~Albert Camus

Winning the Lottery

Winning 40 million dollars would be the greatest thing. There are so many places to go and many people to see. Most of the time, we never get to do all of the things we wish to do in our lives. Its important to do some of these things, but there is no way you could do everything on your bucket list because it would be so expensive and take so long.


The first thing that I would do with my winnings would be to buy a pack of five gum. I just really need gum. In fact with 40 million dollars, I may as well buy all of the five gum in stock. Next I would take my family out to dinner at the Keg in Toronto, because we just love steak so much.


I would also use my money up for when we go to Quebec at the end of the year because then I could eat good food, and buy mementos from the various shops. It would just make the trip more enjoyable for me and my family because I would pay my way for the trip. Then anything that was left would go towards my university fund.


My parents have taught me many things in my life, and I believe that saving my money was one of the more significant lessons. So far, it has helped me through many situations and it will help me likewise when I move out. I have learnt to seek my happiness in limiting my desires, rather than attempting to satisfy them. ~ John Stuart Mill

Repeating a bad picture day!


In life you very rarely get a second chance to repeat a day or an exam etc. If I were to pick one of these days it would be the picture day in grade five. This was the WORST picture that had been taken of me on any occasion. It was embarrassing to look at after wards.


If I were to repeat this day, I would’ve written in my agenda the day before “Picture Day Tomorrow”. Yes, I admit it, I forgot that it was picture day and it was pathetic. Thats would have been the simplest way to make it a special school photograph.


I never took the time to make my hair look nice, and I wish I could have. That day I had a messy half pony tail, I would have done my hair in curls. I also might have straightened my tie and did the top button up on my collar.


From that bad experience I learned a lesson that will help me through everything. Use your agenda because it can REALLY help you, also to remember when your picture days are!!!
