Casey as a girl in Dinner Theatre Favorite teacher... Corry Advice for future 9th graders... Studying always helps! (If you do it the right way) Do any extra credit you can, even if you don't think you need it Check your grades often and don't be afraid to email teachers if you have questions Do Honors English, it's not too hard and you get Honors credit! Find good books, because there is one out there that you'll love Take some electives to get credits you need, but take at least one because you want to
Friendly places are familiar and inviting. They are places you wish you could be when you sit in class starting a huge test. And if your score wasn't as high as you would have liked, it's a place you know you can forget about it and that everything will be fine. It's a friendly place filled with family and friends. A place you may go everyday, weekly, or once a year. A place where you can be yourself and do fun things. Or relax and laugh. It may be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There could be good food and tasteful decorating. Maybe it's simple and quiet, or exciting and loud. Everyone has there favorite place.. what's yours?

The biggest thing I have ever seen is The Eiffel Tower. When you get to the top, you can see the whole city of Paris. In the day, you can see the cheerful pastel colors of quaint apartment buildings and in the nighttime you can see the shimmering seine and glittering lights. For 10 minutes at the beginning of each hour, starting at 8 pm, the white lights flash. With the golden glow the tower always has and the sparkling bright lights, it looks unreal against the black night. Standing directly under it, you can see the intricate detail and amazing architecture and radiating glow of the Eiffel Tower. There are souvenir shops, Metro and bus stops, and crepe stands along the way. My favorite thing to get is Nutella crepes and Amarino gelatto.
What do we call this season? Is it a season at all? When winter is late, and still hasn't come, When spring is still just a hope buried in the ground. When the earth is ready for a blanket of white, Just waiting in a bleak, beige, dry stage. When Mother Nature's clock is broken And the Earth's axis is one degree off. When clouds don't offer a single drop of rain To wake the flowers up and add color to the landscape. But then the next day it starts to snow, Finally a season claims Utah as its own! (But I was hoping it would be Spring.)
