There was a girl and boy there names are Cindy and Luca Cindy found animals that needed help and Cindy goes over to help them but Luca blocks her Luca said: “animals have rabies”. Cindy said: “Well if they have rabies they will lie on the floor and they are not lying down.” Luca says: "well that's true but we need to still be careful." The animals came closer and Luca screamed and Cindy said: "Are you scared?" Luca says: "NO I'm not."  Cindy says: “Yes u are :D” Cindy walks up to the animals and says “Hi how are you doing?" Luca says: “We have to stay at the school.” Luca stares at Cindy like this -_- and said they can’t talk. And Luca says fine we’ll go. ):<  They start going to the beach, and they start to get hungry, and they saw a corn dog cafe. They went closer to corn dog cafe and they were like "we need 500 corn dogs!!" And they did not have enough money,  because it was 500$. Luca got mad because they don’t have enough food for their friends. They got 4 corndogs and the two animals ate 1 for each corndogs, same as Luca and Cindy. They were happy and full and and keep walking to the beach. They got to the beach so they realised they went to the wrong beach. Then a kid named Miles says “hi” I’ll show you the way to the beach. So he and his mom called an Uber and they got in. Then they saw some beautiful birds. Then the uber guy said “where do you want to go?” and they said to the Wright beach uber guy said “ I don’t know that beach” “ you know the Wright beach?” “ oh yeah it’s right up the road!” then they had the best day at the beach. THE END :D

Students were asked to interpret this quote. This is what they had to say.

I am in a stage of my life where I am more mature and it's more scary, and I can't change it. So I have it understand it and learn I can't fix everything.

This journal prompt means to me that I have a good successful journey to somewhere and journeys are sometimes fun to go on. I love to go somewhere but sometimes it is not my destination to get there right away. Journeys are amazing because we get to go through something like the woods, walking up a hill, and seeing the view. Sometimes you are going somewhere but it might not be your destination. We all sometimes get bored in car rides because we are stopping a lot.

-Jacob

Every journey has its end and all journeys have a purpose.

I chose the title because it brings back some of my memories. Being adopted into a family was hard because I was not used to it. I felt scared, and didn't want to go with anyone. My life was different because once I grew up I learned to love my family and get used to them. It was hard leaving my home from china. I don’t remember my original family memory from there.My family is fun, exciting, and greatful. China is a great place to live but I lost my memory. I want to go back to China so I can remember some of the memories from when I was six years old.
