ABC

The letters that I chose were A, B, and C. The girl in my story is going to be named Alexa, she is going to live in Billings, Montana, and she is going to be a Cook. She is 15 years old, and the restaurant that she is a cook for is an all you can eat buffet. You might find it odd that a 15 year old girl is a cook for a fancy buffet, but there is a story behind it.
When Alexa was a little girl, just barely 5 years old, her mother died and her father was always at work. Alexa's father couldn't afford to send her to school, so she stayed home all day. She had to eat. She began with the easy things. Toast, or canned soup heated up in the microwave. She got tired of Cambell's chicken noodle soup, so she tried something new. She made Macaroni and Cheese from a box, she cut up vegetables and steamed them on the stove. When she turned six, she experimented with spices and flavors to make the perfect spaghetti sauce. The noodles were easy to boil and rinse. And so it went until the neighbors gathered at Alexa's house at supper time to taste her new creation. To be continued...

Ultimate Winter Break

My ulmtimate winter break would have a lot of things packed into it. First of all, I would make it longer. Maybe a month instead of 2 weeks. The first thing that I would do would be to go ice skating. The day that I got out of school, the very minute that school got out, I would go ice skating. After that, I would go home and sleep all night, and sleep in as late as I could. After that, I would pack up and fly to mexico, where my grandparents are living. I would go to the beach and go swimming and all that fun stuff. After being there for about a week, I would fly to Texas, where one of my best friends lives. After all that hot weather, I would go home and play outside in the snow all day then come inside and drink hot chocolate to my heart's content while I watched TV or read a really super good book. I think I would prefer the book. For the rest of vacation, I would just relax at home, maybe go shopping a little bit. That would be the ultimate winter break.
