Welcome to my Core Classes page! This page is where I will show you what I have been working on in all of my other classes outside of my tech ones. Thank you to our DATA teachers that have taught us so much this year!

ELAR

In ELAR (taught by Mr. Wayment), we have wrote an essay about a event that has happened in our life. (Our Memoir) We have learned a lot this year especially from knowing our parts of speech, and etc.

Below is my essay I have written about an event that has happened in 2015 called "The Whataburger Tragedy". This essay took a lot of work to write, but it was worth it to share it with others about my experience.

The Whataburger Tragedy

One morning in 2015, me and my family were up at Whataburger right at dawn for some breakfast. This was a usual sighting for my family since we went there about every week. After me, my brother, mom, and dad finished eating our usuals at Whataburger, we decided to go back home. If only we knew that our day would start getting worse as the day pursued.

At home, we had workers redoing our entire floor downstairs because our dishwasher had earlier flooded our whole downstairs. This had led all our floors to be ruined. 

At the time we had three pets. We had one cat, and two dogs. The cat was named Charlie, while the dogs were named Peanut and Toby. Toby was my absolute favorite dog when I was younger. He was always a very gentle and kind yellow lab.  He always protected me from anything that would come in my way. 

As me and my family were getting home from Whataburger we went to go see how the dogs were doing outside in the backyard because of the workers downstairs. We went to look through the window and saw that Toby was laying down in the grass. All I could see was Peanut running around and sniffing Toby. As soon as my parents saw through the window they immediately ran outside to go check if Toby was alright. They told me and my brother to stay inside while they went to check something. As I was little at the time, I didn’t really think much of it until it hit me.

“Why can’t I go outside?” I say in a very sad voice.“Just stay inside with your brother!” My parents continue saying very seriously.

When my parents get to Toby, they start shaking to see if he will wake up. I stare outside the window not knowing if  Toby would be okay. Both my parents come inside with their heads down and I ask “ what’s going on?” to find out that my favorite dog was gone. At first I didn’t really know what she meant by gone, but I had gotten in the car wondering where we were going. The entire way I had pondered over different places we could be going until I looked out the window and saw where we had ended up.

A few months after the death of Toby, the two other pets that were left (Charlie and Peanut) had started to go very ill. Ever since Toby had died, they had just gotten worse and worse week by week. 

As the three pets had all grown up together, they didn’t really have a clue what life was like separated from each other. It’s like keeping them apart had a big defect on them. This was like a life or death situation for them.

After the death of Toby, Charlie had gone paralyzed. This left him not being able to walk freely anymore. As he was paralyzed, I had to feed him by hand, or he wouldn’t be able to eat. On the other hand, Peanut went blind and deaf. Whenever he was let outside in the backyard, we had to go with him and lead him back inside because he couldn’t hear or see us. Sometimes he even ran into walls. 

As Peanut and Charlie weren’t doing well, we decided it would be best to put them down. Once all the pets were gone, the house had felt so empty. I felt so sad that something could just happen so fast. All of them were gone in not even a year. Me and my family still don’t know how Toby died, and how Peanut and Charlie got very ill at the same time.

After a couple of months of the house being empty, my parents got me an early  birthday present. They took me to this house and I had no idea where we were. As we got into the house, I looked down to notice a ton of small kittens. While I was admiring them, I found the perfect one for me. 

Today, his name is Myles Dublin Ullman, And I’m so happy that I got him. He is now seven years old, and I don’t regret any one of those years. I’m quite sad that it had to happen like this, but right now I am very happy how it turned out. 

Below is another essay I had written about the struggles in the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen.

A Plane Suddenly Goes Missing?

Earlier this week, a terrible event happened. A 14-year-old boy and his pilot had gone missing in an attempt to go to Canada. After boarding the plane to New York, their plane suddenly went out of reach. Nobody has heard from the pilot ever since the plane went out of control. 

The boy boarding the plane was verified as Brian Robeson. The boy’s parents have been notified and are worried sick about their son going missing. Brain’s parents are going through a divorce leaving Brian through a hard time. He attempted to go visit his dad for the summer. 

There is yet to get more information about the teenage boy and the pilot, but we will get back to update everyone once we get more information about the topic.

This is the exact type of plane that the pilot had been using before disappearing.

The story of a plane going missing with a 14-year-old boy and a pilot had 

been updated with new information. As it has been fifty-four days since the plane went missing and unknown, the news crew has been informed that a helicopter had found the teenage boy “Brian Robeson” in the Canadian Woods.  The boy had been living in the wilderness all by himself for almost two whole months. He had to hunt for food and shelter to survive. This must have been the longest couple of months of his life. Brian Robeson is now back home with his mom in New York City. On the other hand, the pilot of Brian Robeson’s plane had a severe heart attack when he was controlling the plane. Sadly this man had passed because of the heart attack. This man has not been identified. 

On the journey to have led Brian Robeson into the Canadian woods, once the pilot had lost control Brian was in charge of controlling the plane. As he hadn’t had any experience in flying a plane, Brian had to learn on the way as he did to learn survival skills to live. Since the plane had crashed, Brian is so lucky to have a second chance in life after the plane crashed into a lake. Even though he had a rough time figuring out how to hunt food, water, and making a shelter, Brian was brave enough to learn along the way even though his life was at risk.

That has been all of my essays I had written this school year in 6th grade. Next school year our summer reading book will be Refugee by Alan Gratz.
