Ode To Sisters

When you have a sister, You don't always get along. older sisters boss you around, while little sisters get bossed by you. You listen to them whine, you listen to them brag. But when the day is over, you know they love you, and you love them. and no matter what, you will always be sisters, and you will always be there for one another.


 * Friendship

Friendship is something everyone wants, but it isn't always easy to get. You have to search for the right person to have a good friendship with. On the first day of Kindergarden, I saw so many new faces, determind to have a best friend. I thought this would be such an easy thing to do, but it wasn't. For the first few weeks of Kindergarden, I was often alone on the playground. Whenever I felt strong enough to go up to someone and say 'Can I play?" the feeling soon melted away. Day after day, I would swing alone, with no one to play with, until one day I looked up and saw a girl from my class. She had long, brown hair that almost reached the back of her knees. Before I could say anything, she said, "Can I swing with you?" "Yeah, sure," I replied back. She then sat in the swing next to me. For about three minutes, we didn't say anything. "My name is Faith. Whats your name?" "My name is Madeleine." After we broke the silence we started talking and telling stories. We were laughing at almost everything we said. Then time flew by and before we knew it we heard the sound of the wistle, which signaled us to go back inside. I went back inside that classroom with a best friend. Faith was such a loyal friend. I could trust her with a secret and know that she wouldn't mention a word about it, no mater what.** **Sadly, Faith had to move at the end of the year. We were devestated, but I was happy I met Faith, because she taught me the true meaning of friendship.**

Toy accident
 * It was just a regular February afternoon in San Antonio, Texas. I was in my room waiting for my dad to get home from work. It was Valentine's day, so when he got home, we would celebrate this day with my mom.

I soon heard the sound of the car door slam and I hurried outside.

"Happy Valentine's Day," my dad shouted to me while I was waiting for him on the poarch.

"Hi, daddy! How was work," I asked

"Oh, sweetie it was good and I have something for you! Just go in your room and I will bring it to you."

"Ok." I then went to my room and sat on my bed, waiting for my dad. Five minutes passed and then he stepped into my room with our new dachshund puppy, Muddy following close behind him.

"Happy Valentine's Day," said my dad as he handed me a bright pink bag.

"oh, thank you so much, dad!" I grabbed the bad from his hands and pulled out the pieces of tissue paper, one by one. I then reached in the bad and grabbed whatever was in it. It was soft and when I pulled it out, I saw that it was a chihuaha stuffed animal. The chihuahua was in a red purse with hearts on it. My eyes lit up and I ran and gave my dad a hug.**


 * "I am glad you like it. Come on lets go give your mom her Valentine's Day gift." I put the toy down and walked down the hall toward my parents bedroom. My dad and I handed my mom her present**


 * My mom took the gift from my dad's hands and she started to open the gift. It was purfume and she loved it. "Oh thank you, I love it," said my mom.**


 * "You're welcome, I said and have her a hug. Dad got me something also." I then went to my room excidedly to get the present, so my mom could see. I opened the door to my room and Muddy was on the shiny wooden floor with the toy and it was all chewed up. One of the eyes of the chihuahua was torn out and it was ripped all over the place.**


 * "Dad," I yelled**


 * "Yes, what happened?"**


 * "Muddy tore up my present!"**


 * "Ok, I will go right now and buy you another one." I then looked thought the window and saw my dad hop in his car and leave.**


 * I looked at Muddy and I could tell that he knew he did something wrong by the guilt in his little puppy-dog eyes.

"Oh, Muddy, I wispered to him. Why do you have to always chew up everything in sight?" Of cousrse he had no idea what I was saying, because he was just a dog.

Ten Minutes passed, then twenty, then thirty. I soon heard the same slam of the car door that I had heard earlier that day. I looked out the window and I saw my dad get out of the car with a bag in his hand. He walked around the car and then up the steps to our house.

"Madeleine, come here," shouted my dad from the living room. I walked to the living room and my dad handed me the new chihuaha stuffed animal.

"Oh thank you, dad! I promise that I will be more careful where I put my stuff for now on."

"You're welcome. It was just an accident."

That day I learned that I need to be more careful where I leave things.**

**Expired Passport? ** **Madeleine Tamez **
 *  Oh, great. I didn’t know that passports had expiration dates! Now I am stuck here in Germany! I have to get back to Texas. What should I do? I don’t want to be stuck here in an airport in Germany for the rest of my life! I have to go argue. **
 *  “Look, I have to get back to America, I explained to customer services at the airport. My wedding is in six days!” **
 *  The woman grabs my passport and points to the expiration date. “Look, I am very sorry. Right here is says the expiration date is 5/18/10. That was two days ago. The only way to leave this country is to get a passport.” **
 *  “But there is no way that I can afford a new passport right now!” **
 *  “I am sorry, but the only way to get back home is to get a new passport.” **
 * (exert) **
