It was a normal school day. The halls were crowded, and as usual, I was late for class. I hated that class. I fell asleep everyday. My teach reminded me of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Something was strange about seventh hour, though. I was interested in what the class was doing. We were assigned to write a thesis essay, and we were able to pick our own topic. I was thrilled because I could relate to the topic. I chose to write about nothing other than my grandmother's death. I started the paper the paper about a dream that I had whenever I was in Washington D.C. on a school trip with the band. The dream was about my grandmother get

ting sick. Then, I wrote about going home and my mother telling me that she really was sick with pancreatic cancer. I explained in the paper that my grandmother was delirious because of the medicine she was taking. I never wanted to tell my grandmother my name, because we have the same name. I did not want her to think that she was talking to herself.

because I realize writing is essential to everyday living. I want my teacher to tell me that I am a good writer. I want to write pages of stories. I want to be able to write essays, short stories, and poetry. I do not want to loose knowledge I want to gain knowledge. If this happens maybe one day I will become a writer.

also wrote about her funeral. I wanted my grandmother to be buried with my Ruby Red Slipper necklace, but I never put it in her casket. About two weeks later, I was still upset about my grandmother. I then wrote about a dream I had that made me feel a lot better.
