Hi my name is Tailae. And I have an older sister named Daelyn. She is amazing. Personally, I think she is the best. I remember that one time me, Daelyn, and Sotera went to the park. We were walking. Sotera out of nowhere just falls and I looked at her knee and it looked all bange, and scratched up, and I think a good piece of her skin is scraped off. So Daelyn pulled a bottle of water out of her backpack and she says, “Sotera you have two choices. You can let me pour some water on your scrape and let me clean it, or me, you and Tailae can walk home right now”

“No I do not want you to pour water on it,” said Sotera. She was scared because she thought it was going to hurt.

“But I have to or it will get infected,” said Daelyn.

“Well you’re not doing it,” said Sotera. Her voice sounded nervous and scared at the same time.

“Ok then I think you made your decision we are going home. Come on,” said Daelyn. When we got home our cousin Gwyneth patched up Sotera’s scratch. I guess Sotera only trusted Gwyneth. So I got to jump on my mom’s bed because I did not get to the park, that was fun.

Daelyn went to this boarding school in Pennsylvania when she was in 7th grade and has been there ever since. When she first left for the boarding school, I was really upset. I was little when Daelyn left, about five years old I think. When I got older I came to realize that it was a great opportunity for her, so I just sucked it up and dealt with it. I did not hate Daelyn, I was just upset with her, but I then I got over it and we were cool. with her, but I then I got over it and we were.

When Daelyn came home for the first time, my Mom didn't tell me, so it was a surprise. One morning my Mom told Daelyn to wake me up, so she did. Daelyn said “Tailae I have something to tell you. Tailae wake up! I can't wait to spend time with you today so get your lazy butt up and get ready!” I could not believe what I was hearing! It was Dae Dae! So I woke up and saw her face. She looked different because her straight blond hair was longer. Me and my twin sister Sotera were so surprised. We both hugged our older sister and held on tight. Sotera flopped back into bed but I wouldn’t release her. So you do the math, who was most excited? Oh yeah, me. Me and Daelyn played Call of Duty . So after a while at the house, me and Daelyn were got bored so we went to the park. At the park we played on the swings and we went super fast down the super slippery slide.

Every year the families of the kids who go to Milton Hershey go down there to visit. They call them Family Weekends and they happen every season. We only get to go there for a visit once a year in May. The kids at Milton Hershey School get to take a break from school and hang out with their families for the weekend so they can have some alone time with them. And to go to Hershey, Pennsylvania. And to get Daelyn on the bus we have to drive two hours to get “there” and by there I mean Hartford CT. Let me just tell you it’s tiring. It's a workout. You imagine driving two hour there and two hours back! Yeah I know, sounds long and it is long. You do not want to stay in a car two hours and don’t get me started with the ride to Pennsylvania. It’s so long,

` It's sad for Sotera because she even gets car sick on the way to school and it only takes us five minutes. Feels like thousands of hours to go to Pennsylvania, but it’s only six hours to get there, only six. Crazy right? Five or four or three minutes to get to school, so imagine six hours in a car. Sotera is barfing by now but no she does not barf on the way to Pennsylvania. She just rolls down her window and relaxes and glides with the wind. But me, I'm fine with sitting in the car for a couple hours no harm done and I don't get car sick or feel like I’m going to barf. I’m just fine with it. Daelyn seems pretty cool with it to and our mom she seems tired of it and kind of okay with it, so everybody is okay with it except Sotera so that's funny.

When Daelyn first got there she got home sick and so she went home and when she went back to her old school she realized she made a mistake of leaving Milton Hershey because what they’re teaching Daelyn has already learned. So she told her Mom and they called Milton Hershey school back and she was lucky they didn't give her bunk away or she wouldn't have gotten back into Milton Hershey School. She got a second chance, so kids always to remember to stay in school. Daelyn, me my mom and Sotera are so excited because me my mom and Sotera get to go up to Pennsylvania and see Daelyn for winter family weekend and we always go up there to see her in the fall family weekend. That’s exciting and Daelyn is very excited about that, and me and Sotera get to go to Hershey next year so that's good but Daelyn and my mom think me and Sotera should stay one more year but I really want to go so were going to Hershey, that's exciting.

Daelyn is graduating from Hershey in June so she is going to be done with Hershey forever and then boom baby I'm going to Hershey there is literally going to be a little Daelyn in Hershey. People are going to freak out i'm going to freak, and so when me my mom and Sotera go to Daelyns graduation there's going to be lights and Music and dancing there is probably going to be a DJ there it's going to be awesome it's going to be crazy fun but then we take Daelyn home and when we get home we rest. Five months roll around and me and Sotera are pumped up school is over and finally my mom sends us up to go and so we wait and wait and wait and then they finally call back they say they want to meet up and talk and then when were done we go home and we wait and wait and wait and that's it the call we've been waiting fo for like forever and so we answer and they say”we have two bunks open if you want them” and we say yes and then they said”drive them hear in three weeks” “ok we said” “bye” bye and so three weeks pass really slowly but we get threw it and finally it’s time to go and start driving and so I say to my dogs and cats and let me tell ya it is very hard to say goodbye to your loving animals but I had too if I wanted to go to Hershey, so when I walked out that door I just pictured me snuggling my puppys and my kitties and so I was comfortable unuf to walk down my front steps and walk into my driveway and get into my moms car and head out to Pennsylvania. So we head out to the new school theat me Sotera are going to and so my mom drives out of the driveway and she starts driving down the street and we start driving up the big hill down the road from my house and then something just starts happening I have this feeling that I can’t resist I had to say it mom can I get a decaf coffee from dunkin donuts and guess what she said ‘yes” I was so excited I was getting a hot decaf coffee so we are almost there so we turn the corner and so we go into the drive thru and it was so funny I couldn't tell if the person who was speaking was a women or a man or bysexule person but all I know is that the voice of the person sounded weird and so of course you have to laugh so because I didn't want to be rude I laughed quietly so they couldn't hear me laughing, and so we ask for a hot decaf coffee and of course there out of decaf and the next lode will be made in one hour so of course you guys know we don't have that much time so I we had to order a hole new drink so instead of getting a decaf coffee I got a blueberry culotta

and after they gave it to me I was so happy that they ran out of decaf because it was so good I couldn't stop drinking it well not until the brutalest brain freeze I have ever felt before uppers and when I say brutalest I mean brutalest but then like any brain freeze in a second it goes away and because I didn't saver my drink it was gone and so I didn't have a drink four the rest of the ride and then an hour later guess what I have to use the ladies room. So of course I have to ask my mom if we could turn around and go to the gas station but she said no so I had to hold it for the hole ride. And so it has been two hours since I had to go to the bathroom and now i'm not even kidding it looks like i'm going to explode so finally my mom brings me to a gas station, so after I go to the bathroom we get back on the road. So right in the car after a couple minutes I fall asleep and when I wake up we are already almost there only twenty minutes left so I just turned on the radio and jammed out with my mom and Sotera until we got there. So twenty minutes has past and we are at my student home and so we head in and we've just met mine and Soteras student home parent who take care of us when we are there and and so after my mom talks to them and stuff we go and see our rooms and set up our stuff and our beds. So after that we say goodbye to our mom and so yah and were done saying goodbye and stop our mom from crying me and Sotera go and play some basketball outside because we were bored. So after a couple minutes of shooting hoops it was started to get dark so we had to inside and eat dinner so we did, we had salads and all the other kids were like ewww but me and Sotera were digging in we ate our dinner before everyone else it was so funny. And so after that we all did chores and then went to bed, I went to bed so quickly that night because I ate so much food. So that morning I felt so good because it was my first day of a new school and so because it was my first day I got a ride to school

but it is not a usual thing after me and Sotera know the way to school I have to walk there. And so when I went to school and ask what classes to go to and so all the classes were boring ish but I did meat this one kid named James and he was pretty cool we hanged out for a while and talked about sports and especially basketball we both loved talking and really loved playing basketball so we played so one on one in the gymnasium so the next day I try out for the girls basketballs team and I think I did pretty good so the next day I look on the sheet for who got in and guess what I did. So I think we all made a hoop that day.
