Why Staying in a Hotel is Fun

There are three reasons why I think staying in a hotel is fun. The three reasons are the swimming pool, not having to clean your room or make your bed, and the included breakfast buffet.

The first reason staying in a hotel is fun because it usually has a swimming pool. The swimming pool is fun because it is not something I can do every day. It is great exercise and it is fun playing games in the pool. There are swimming pools that I have been to that have an inside linked to an outside pool. When I was in St. Charles, Missouri, I got to swim outside for a few minutes while it was snowing. That was so cool! Swimming pools are definite first on my list in regards to why staying in a hotel is fun.

The second reason staying in a hotel is fun is because I do not have to clean my room or make my bed. Cleaning my room is a pain and I definitely do not like making my bed. Some hotels even have turn down service where they get your bed ready for the night and leave chocolates. Yum!

The third reason staying in a hotel is fun because of the included breakfast buffet. I like having the included breakfast because there is a buffet of food to choose from and it is already made for me. It is also fun because I can often make my own waffles. I just need to be careful to not flip the waffle too soon.

Those three reasons listed above are why I think staying in a hotel is fun. Of all three reasons I think swimming is the best. I think most kids would agree.

My Favorite Movies

2009-12-28T16:42:00.000-08:00

I have many favorite movies. My favorites are Avatar, 2012, and Star Wars. They are so good I wish I owned all of them.

My first favorite movie is Avatar. I like Avatar because of the amazing land of Pandora. I also like Avatar because of all the future technology used in the movie. Overall, the movie was very interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat.

My second favorite movie is 2012. I like 2012 because of the way the people survived. It also shows how the disaster could have been safer for people if there were not man-made structures.

The third movie is Star Wars. I like Star Wars because of all the aliens. I also like the robotics used in the movie. Star Wars is definitely a classic to me.

I have lots of favorite movies. Avatar, 2012, and Star Wars are among the most favorite. I would recommend these movies to all of my friends.

Giving When I Have Nothing

2009-12-22T09:35:00.000-08:00

Christmas was coming and many of my friends were shopping for gifts for each other. I really wanted to get a gift for everyone but I did not have any money. I felt sad...

How can I provide gifts when I have nothing? I tried to find a job so I could make money but no one would hire a little boy. I begged strangers for money, but all I got was three dollars. Then one night I was sitting at my make-shift desk under the bridge, just drawing because drawing always entertained me when I had nothing to do.

Then I had an idea. The next day, I went to the store and bought some pencils and paper with one dollar. Then I started drawing, non-stop, all day long. The day after that, I used a quarter to get a newspaper to see if there were any crafts that I could make. Luckily, there was Chinese paper-cutting, origami, a free drawing for some money, and cartooning class. I decided to do the drawing for money and the cartooning class. The drawing could help me buy a small item for one of my friends or buy more classes to make more crafts.

So I went to the free drawing for money first. I did not win the free drawing for money contest but found a dollar and twenty-five cents in change on the ground. Three days later I went and did the cartooning class. There I learned how to make a flip book. When Christmas-Eve came, I bought some bags from the store. I put the drawings in the bags and dropped them off at every one of my friends houses.

I didn't get anything back, but I was happy I could give something, even though I started with nothing.
