oBullies!

I am a friend, a person and am who I am, if people don’t like me I don’t care. I am me and I will not change who I am. If my friends don’t like who I really am they are not my friends. This blog is for people who don’t like themselves because of someone else or a group of people. One day whether it be today, tomorrow, in a week or a year, someone will like you. Don’t make your life change forever because of people they are cruel and they don’t have a heart. I stand up to be me! Help stop bullying Today!

Athlete In Me

Swimming is a sport that I am good at. I am usally not good at sports at all, I enjoy playing sports that I am good at. Recently, we started the badminton unit for gym. I used to suck but I kept practicing with friends at school in gym, at batminton intermurals and playing with my brother Ethan in the backyard. Now badminton is one of my favorite sports to play.

My favorite sports are cross country, badminton and swimming. I enjoy playing sports on my own free time. Swimming I am good at. I used to be on the Milton’s swim team but transford to the Halton Hills Blue Fins. On Milton’s team (the Milton Marlins) I moved up to novice for about a year then joined the Blue Fins. When I went for the test to see what level I could be in they put me in sliver! The best part was so many of my friends were in that level. I was very happy being with all my friends on Blue Fins. I enjoy going to fun meet’s and real one’s as well. I broke my record for 100 m free style. I aimed for under 1 minute 40 and I got 1 minute 38! I hope to improve alot when I swim and to keep swimming.

Helping Others

I love helping out with fund raisers for charity. I started by making bracelets with my step sister Rebecca and selling them for Sick Kids Hospital. I thank them for all the wonderful things they have done when my brother was in the hospital and for other kids who are very sick at the moment. We sold around 100 braclets already and raised around 50 dollars. I really enjoy doing this and I  hope to raise a lot of money. My family has done a lot for Sick Kids my nana made around 77 blankets for them,  I am making bracelets, at the mall we donate a little bit of money and my mom ran fun run for charity. Sometimes it’s good to think of others before you think of your self because there are so many people who don’t have what I have. I think that I am very lucky to have such a great family and wonderful friends.

Remember always be kind to everyone you meet, be thankful for what you have and think of others before you think of your self!

Two Loving Families

My name is Eleanor. I am a big sister growing up with younger siblings. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters!

Ethan is the 2nd oldest. After him is Rebecca, she is third oldest. Griffin and Oliver are my twin brothers, they are 2nd youngest, and the youngest is Siobhan.

Not everyone lives in the same house. I live in 2 houses!

My Mom’s house, where Griffin and Oliver live and my Dad’s house, where Siobhan and Rebecca live.

Ethan and I were born from the same mom. That’s how we came from two different houses.

My dad and Maureen (my stepmom) wanted to live together. Rebecca was 2-3 years old when Maureen and my dad got together. Then after a couple of years they got married and had my sister Siobhan.

 

My mom got together with my stepdad, Tim. They got married in Hawaii and had Griffin and Oliver.

I am 11 years old, and I am in grade 6. I like my life, even with the bad things because after it happens, I have learned a lesson and know what to do and what not to do after.

I think that it’s harder to have 2 houses because of missing people. I live with my dad during the week because of school and visit my mom on the weekend.

When I am at one house, I still have fun, but I miss the people who I am not seeing. Sometimes it feels like the worse thing in the world!

Sometimes living in 2 houses is hard because of different jobs at my dad’s house like write my blog, scrapbook, empty dishwasher, fill dishwasher, do homework and more!.

I pretty much have to make 2 schedules to have time for it all.

And rules, you have to remember 2 different sets of rules.

Hopefully these families are permanent. I like it like this with so many nice people in my family.

Being The Oldest

My name is Eleanor I am 11 and the oldest of 6. My life is great even though my responsibilities are harder I get more freedom.

Being older may seem harder because of school, higher levels in sports, taking care of you, others when babysitting, and doing your chores at home. I can always make time for all.

Right now on the way to sports I do home homework. Doing chores sometimes my siblings help me, thats how I can do homework, focus on my sports, have more fun with family and get my jobs done!

I am now trying to make dinner every sunday to learn how to cook and prepare meals.

Today was the day that my first lesson of cooking started. I made meatball soup. I didn’t quite understand the directions and I burned the pot and the pot caught on fire! I said can we put water on it? No never put water on a grease fire, so we put the lid back on.

After it cooled down I started again and the soup was perfect!
