My favorite book is called "The Meaning Of Maggie". This book is about a girl named Maggie and her family. This book has a lot of meaning in it. Maggie's dads legs are asleep so he has a wheelchair and he has to quit his job. Maggie's mom never worked until her dad quit his job she finally went to work. Maggie loves school so much she cant stand to miss it. Maggie's mom's new job has bring your kid to school day so Maggie's mom makes her skip school and go to work with her. Maggie was not very happy. Maggie shares a room with her sister Tiffany. Maggie's sisters are very mean to her because she is the youngest. Maggie had two birthdays in this book, I believe she turned 11 in the first one and 12 in the 2nd one. Maggie's dad believes hes the coolest dad ever. Maggie starts 6th grade in this book. Sixth grade means all new kids and a whole new life. Maggie has a crush in sixth grade and she sees him on Halloween and she is with her dad and her dad really likes the kid he believes he cooler then ever. On Valentines day Maggie's "friend" comes over and shows her the rose that Maggie's crush gave her, Maggie gets really upset. Maggie's P.E. teacher is having a baby so they have the track teacher sub for her. Maggie acted sick that day but they wouldn't let her go home. Maggie had to go to P.E. She tried to sit out put the teacher and her dad both agreed that running would help her. Maggie had to run a mile witch was 4 laps around the track. While Maggie was running the girl that came up to her and showed her the flower had tried to help her run. They became good friends.
At the end of the school year Maggie's crush had ask her to sign his yearbook so she did and so did he. They both agreed that they should get together over the summer. Over the summer Maggie ran a lot, her sisters even ran with her! Maggie's birthday was very soon. On Maggie's birthday her mom takes her to a writing club at the library, because her mom knew she loved writing. Maggie had a meltdown because she couldn't find her scarf. During the writing club Maggie went to the bathroom and when she came back Layla her oldest sister was there. Maggie knew something was wrong. Layla came to get Maggie to take her to the hospital. While Maggie was at the writing club on her birthday her dad had a seizure. Tiffany was at home alone with her dad when he had his seizure. When Maggie's mom came home the ambulance were there. Maggie, Layla, and Tiffany stayed the night at the hospital. At the hospital Maggie's mom gave her one of presents, it was a notebook with the same paper the Indapendence was writen on. It was just what Maggie wanted. I hope you read this book and enjoy it as much as I did! Today we watched a video called "I Lived" By - One Republic. It was a video on Youtube about a teenager named Bryan who has cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a type of disease that makes it uneasy to breath. It effects your lungs. Bryan talks about his disease and the causes of it. When you have cystic fibrosis its hard to breath so it would be hard to play sports and be active, but Bryan is very active. Bryan is active in many ways, for example, biking, hockey, swimming, and rollerblading. The lyrics in this song meant a lot to me. It says "Hope you take that jump, you don't fear the fall". To me that means, take the chances but don't pull fear into them. "Hope when the water rises you build a wall". To me that means, as bad things come into your life build a wall so it doesn't get to. I could go on and on but why don't you watch the video for yourself and figure out what the lyrics mean to you. While your watching this video you may need tissues, hope you like. Link below.
