Passion Project

   For my Passion Project, I have decided to do something that I feel very strong about and would also save many life's of animals. In the hot temperatures, many parents some how forget their children are in the car and leave them in the car. Unfortunately, some cases lead to the death of their children. Recently, there was an idea to help try and stop these horrific accidents. Once you get in the car, take off a shoe and place it in the back seat next to your child. This way, you'll more than likely remember to put your shoe back on and grab your child from the backseat!

    My idea is pretty similar to this idea, except for helping children's lives' be saved, I am helping animals. I'm very concerned about the health and safety of the dogs left outside in extreme weather conditions. I am planning to do research about safe temperatures and also the unsafe temperatures.
   One of my main reasons for choosing this idea for my Passion Project is because I am an animal lover. Ever since I was a baby, I have been raised in a veterinary hospital and have been around all sort of animals. Animals anywhere from a goldfish to a cheetah. My mom is a veterinarian and my step dad was a veterinarian as well. I got my first puppy when I was 2 years old, and she is still alive today. I would say my love and passion for animals is because of my lifestyle I have grown up in. This Passion Project is a great opportunity to help save many lives' of dogs around the United States.

A sleepover gone hilariously wrong

 





      In my last year of middle school, 8th grade, I started Prince of Peace. Unfortunately, the one year Taylor wasn't attending Prince of Peace, was the year I came. Even though she did not come to this school, Taylor and I still talked most of the time. I became very determined to be friends with her. One Friday after school, Taylor and I decided to have our first sleepover. As we discussed and discussed what fun adventures to do the following night, we chose on sleeping at my house.
     Along with a sleepover, we were going to a movie that night too and wanted to get all prettied up. At this time, I didn't really have much makeup, so we decided to go to my mom's bathroom to use all her makeup.While we got ready in my mom's bathroom, we were playing loud music and talking, then we heard a very loud noise. It sounded like a door slam. Before that it sounded like a garage door opening. We stopped the music and looked at each other in panic. After a few moments of silence, we heard footsteps. Most people have a first reaction to panic and run, Taylor and I had a different idea in mind. We decided to move all the big heavy furniture in front of my moms bedroom door and gather heavy objects to throw at the intruder. Minutes have passed and we are freaking out, so we decided to call my grandparents that live down the street.They did not answer so we ran and hid in the bathtub with my pet opossum.
    10 minutes later, we decide to move the furniture back into its original place and check outside the door. Taylor and I saw no one or anything, and ever since that day, we decided to always set the alarm to my house. Although it wasn't as bad as the Ballonfest 86, a fun intended first sleepover turned out wrong, in a hilarious and scary way.
