"Wishing Wings"

I wish I had two big strong wings that are white as snow. They keep me warm during the winter and stay cool in the summer. When winter comes my big strong feathery wings will wrap around me to keep me warm and cozy, therefore theres no need to shivered in the cold winter. In the summer I travel by air where it makes breezes of cool wind, with the fresh smell of nature around me it gives me the special ability to fly as high as I can and as far as I want.

A Bunny For A Change

I still remember the time when my mom came home from the garden and was holding something fluffy with two ears popping out. We all was excited to see what it was, so we asked my mom, "what is it?" She than handed the fluffy thing to my little sisiter and said, "it's a jack rabbit and I caught it at the garden." We all was shocked, excited and, very happy to have a rabbit for a family pet. The rabbit's house was a cage and all my family members took turns feeding it. We feared that our pet rabbit would ran away, so we dare not let it out of the cage. The only place that we would allow the little rabbit to run loose was our bedroom. Yep, thats the only spot that it can run, hop, and play loose all day long. We raised the rabbit for about a month until it dissapear. I guess someone forgot to closed up the cage and it run away. It got all of my little brothers and sisters sad because it was the first pet rabbit we ever had. After our pet rabbit was missing for a few days, my parents bought a rabbit from the store to replace our missing rabbit. Now we all can be happy again.

"One Man's Kids"

Daniel Meier is a teacher and teaches first grade in an elementary school. He likes working with childerns and spends his time encouraging , supporting, consoling, and prasing them. He would bandage a cut, dry a tear, erase a frown, and tape a doll instead of teaching reading and spelling. when his students groan, laugh, cry, exult, and wonder, he would do the same too. The reasons he choose to teach young childern is because he wanted to observe and contribute to the intellectual growth of a maturing mind. He also love helping childerns to learn how to write his or her first name for their first time and finding someone a new friend. He liked taking care of childerns and being their for them when they needed him and that is why he'd enjoy doing his job so much.

The Perfect day

It was a beautiful sunny day at the beach and the weather was warm and cozy which is just the perfect day for swimming in the ocean. As I sat on the sandy beach and dug my feet inside the soft sand trying to keep it warm, I found a broken shell laying next to me. I reach out to grab it, but the little creature in it took it's shell and ran off. Then I started for a walk on the shore looking for more sea shells. I loved to collect sea shells and bring them home with me. They make beautiful necklace and if I found a big shell I would put it near my ears and listen to the sound of ocean waves inside. I also loved to play with the ocean's wave by chasing it back and forth. Sometimes I let the waves carry me away in the ocean and getting all my cloths wet. I can taste the saltiness of the water from the ocean as the waves splash into my face. The waves was stronger than it looks because it droves me away from the shore. when the water is up to my chest, I could hear my heart pounding very fast. I also tried to run quickly in the water before the next wave can reach me. When I made it to the shore I saw a star fish laying down on the sand. I didn't dare to touch it because I was afriad it would stick to my face. Soon it was getting dark and the sun was setting. The sunset was the most beautiful thing I've ever saw as I lay there on my blanket and the ocean breeze came over me as my body shiverd, I'd grab for my jacket and put it on me and than headed home.

I was born in Laos before my parents took us here to the United States. I was still a baby back then, so now I don't remember anything from the past. Only stories that were told by my parents about their past history in Laos and in Thailand. How they struggle through hard times and lived their lives as farmers. They didn't have cars, shoes, and watches, nothing at all like now days. All their houses were build by hands and they used their feet to travel everywhere they go. Everyday they work hard even if it rains or shines. They even have to do their daily chores such as gathering woods, feed their pets, and cooking. Who ever work hard in their village are likely more success. Everyone is happy how they've lived their lives because there is no one to take control over them. They have their own freedom and can do what ever to help their lives go by easier. Although they have no education, they've have self respect, loyalty, and self courage. My father always tell me that the only way to be seccessful is to be helpful and help each other. It doesn't matter where we come from, the most important thing is who we are this will keep our religion staying the same.

My Dream Vacation

My dream vacation will be at a peacfull and quite place, where I could relax and get to enjoy all the fun and exciment time. It will be like heaven in paradis, where there is no worries and distraction. No one to bother and tell me what to do. I will be the boss of my self and get all the freedom I need. I feel like I has finally get to spread my wings and fly away from the cage that had kept me in there for so long. The dream of my vacation will be the most beautiful place ever where there is fresh spring water running down the mountains. There, I can see the blue clear sky full of singing birds and beautiful flowers all around the places. Myself laying down on the green grass surrounded with colorful flowers all around me. I could feel the wind blowing through my face and smell the freshness air of the spring flowers. As the wind blows I could hear the flowers whisper in my ears and the tips of the grass tickles my toes. While the birds sings, I closes my eyes and imagine me standing on the tip of the highest mountains and spread my wings and fly with the winds.

Memories Flies By

At the age of six, hide-and-seek was one of my favorite childhood game. I was breathing hard from runing and hiding from my friend as we were playing hide-and-seek. The sun's ray was beaming straight into my eyes, brightens my visions as I kept on reaching and reaching for the sun. I wanted to reach it and hide behind it so that they can't find me. Hiding behind the sun makes me feel safe and by knowing that in this game they will never going to find me, because the sun is going to block me from them. As I try to reach higher and higher, it seems like it's moving farther and farther away from me, but I just kept on moving for it. I could feel the sweat on my body and the hot warm heat surrounding me like I'm in a cooking oven. I closed my eyes tightly reaching up to the sky aming at the sun, I could see the bright lights colors, and feels the heat buring my face. For a moment, I seem to move forward near the sun. My fingers could seem to feel and touch the hot heat waves. Then I knew that I was getting closer and closer to the sun. As time passes by, I do not know what the time and how long I was staring up at the sun. I thought I heard a voice calling my name, but I did not dear to open my eyes to look out there. Sunddenly, it was like the sky was falling down on me, a black shadow came over and block the bright light. A voice was calling my name and shaking my body at the same time. Instantly, I open my eyes and there she was, my friend Kazuag was staring straight down at me. She told me that I had fallen asleep while I was laying down on the grassy hill. She had found me twenty minutes latter and trying to wake me up. She pulled me up by my hand and we walk down the grassy hill then went home. In my thoughts everything is reachable; nothing is unreachable.

My Defination Of Love

In my meaning of love are giving my everything to that desireble thing and something that I will enjoy. It is like the very first time that I've experienced the taste of sweet, the flavor,the way how it exploded in my mind, that feeling of becoming attached and addicted to. By meanings of just speaking the word of love out, it does not prove anything untill all things are in place, therefore sacrfice comes in play. In willing to put myself in a certain way or postion and to satisfied the care and need of one or another untill death do us apart. By having to see love like what I see, you and everyone else will never take your life and your love foregranted. It is really once in your life time and just remember the first time is that only one chance you ever got. It is a very long way to get to love and to get your love back, so enjoy it while you can because It isn't impossible, everything is possible.

The most one I admire

The only preson that is close to me is my husband Vang Thao. He is a sweet guy, outgoing person, talkative, very serious, faithful, emotional and etc. He take things very serious and most of the time he is being honest about almost everything that he do. Vang is a loving husband and care about his family alot. He willing to do anything to protect his family from harm.That's what makes me love him so much. My husband always listen to me and he is always there when I needed him. He is the only person that I can share my feelings with and the only one that I can talk to whenever there is a problem. My husband love me so much he willing to do anything for me as long as it makes me happy. Even though sometimes I made him mad he still love and care for me. I feel bad sometime for making fun of him and being childish around him, but he don't really cares unless I did it over limit then he had to tell me to stop. He expect me to know my role of beeing a good house wife. Most of my time at home I usually clean around the house, babbysit for a while and pepare dinner for everyone. His job is to do whatever he wants to do, but some time he spent little time fixing the house and help me only a little bit around the house. During our free time we go out and shop or go to the thearter. Oroville is a small town so we don't usually go out oftent. There are times that me and my husband get mad at eachother, but we always forgive eachother. We don't usually put problems in between us, we just let it go so that there won't be any anger between us. No matter what happens we still love and care for eachother. Everytime when I'm feeling sad or unhappy he will comfort me. Most of the time he will try to cheer me up and make me laugh. My husband is the most important thing in my life that is why I admire him so much.He's always there for me and being faithful at all times.

My happiest time

Having my family with me makes me the happiest.. Without my family I would not exist in this world and they're the sunshine of my life. My family brings me happiness and always there for me whenever I needed them. My family is everything to me because I loved them so much and I'm willing to do anything to make them happy. I just want to spend more time with my family and enjoy all the fun time with them. My happy time is when I'm at home with my family or going out doing family things together. Sometimes we will go out to play pools and watch movies together. Most of the time I will be at the kitcken cooking for dinner. I enjoy staying home with my family, especailly on the summer time. We go joging, play tennis, basketball, fishing, and doing more activities together. We enjoy doing outdoor activities more than staying inside the house. Especailly on raining days we just sit around playing cards and watching movies. Sometimes during the summer me and my husband will take some of his brothers and sisters with us to the park and pick up some fresh and sweet rasberrys and swim around the lake. The most fun time is when I spend time with both side of my families. Because I also had a family lived in Sacramento. Now me and my husband are living with his family in Oroville. Sometimes my sister them will come visit us in Oroville and than we will go to the park. We usaully walk around the park and played in the water. Once in a month me and my husband will go visit my family in Sacramento. When we get there we usaully watch movies and played cards with them. Sometimes my sister takes us to eat out and than come watch some movie at the thearter. We will spend one night with my family at Sacramento and in the next morning we will leave for home. I'm so happy to see them and I enjoy every moments that I spent with them untill the day we came home. That makes me the most happiest because I get to spend vauable time with both families that I adores the most. What needed to do to bring more happiness in my life is to find a good job to support my life. After I finish college, I will get a job thats going to pay me more than I needed. First I will buy a big house with a large backyard with a beautiful swimming pool and also vacation tickets for my families going to Disney World. I will papare everything what my family needs around the house. If only I could find that specail job and get all that money that I needed then that will make my life easyer and bring me more happiness.

My dream job

Working as a bartender is fun and you make alot of tips. You get to sleep in half the morning throughout the day. Then you get to work at night until 2:00 am in the morning. Sometime if you don't get enough sleep during the day and you have to work at night until morning, you can be very tired. To be a bartender is hard work and you have to be fast. You will be standing up and moving back and forth mixing drinks for customer. Most of the time your hand will always be busy doing something. The most important part is to make sure that you get back the right change to customer, so that you won't be short. What I llike most about this position is working as the chasier and prepare drinks for customer. It gets easy when you know all the alcohol names and where they are placed at, so that you could just grab it and mixed them together. I also loved the music and also liked to see the people dancing on the dance floor. I like to work in a place thats surrounded with loud music and where they're always a customer that I could help. I wanted to do this job becauses its something new for me and I enjoy working in the place where there is good music and a lot of customer that I can help all the time.
