The ten things that formed who shaped me today is my parents, school, my friends, watching sports, my brothers, coaches, teachers, my parents divorce, my extended family, and ice hockey. First off, my parents created me. They brought me into this world. So they are very important to me. They raised me and taught me almost everything I know today. School also shaped how I am because I go to learn and get an education. This will help with my future and what I want to do in life. My friends help influence what I do in my spare time, from throwing the football outside to the movies we watch. The next thing that influences who I am today is the sports that I watch. Every Sunday we get together as a family to watch football games and cheer for the Eagles. This shaped the sports teams I root for and the things that I am going to carry on in life. My brothers shaped how I act because I am always around them. I am closest with the middle brother who is one year younger than me. We do a lot together and act similar because of this. My coaches for hockey helped me learn life lessons on giving effort and 100% in everything that I do. They taught me how to play hockey and progress each year. My teachers also helped me learn life lessons that will help me in college and in my job when I grow up. A negative thing that shaped who I am is my parents divorce. This occurred in 2005, when I was 9 years old. I never thought that it would happen to my family because it was more rare at the time. My life changed when that happened because I then had to go back and forth between two houses. It was hard at first, but like every kid they eventually get over it. My extended family includes my grandparents, aunts and uncles. They have been important to me because they support me in what I do. Finally ice hockey has been one of the biggest things that impacted me. I have been playing since I was four years old. Ice hockey has helped me learn about teamwork, sportsmanship and winning and losing.

Taylor Rohrbaugh: Woah! My family is a huge hockey family! Both my dad and brother play hockey too! I learned some things I never knew about you. I hate the eagles, but I guess I'll let that slide because you like the Flyers.

I don't want to be super picky, but do please pay attention to spelling and grammar. Thanks much, Mrs. Sands

Independent Reading post part 1- ** It is not even remotely ok that you and Kyle did posts on the same book. 15/25 **

I am reading Gulliver's travels and it all starts when Gulliver is on a boat. Gulliver gets sucked into a typhoon/cyclone and he wakes up tied down. He looks around and sees little people. Not a midget, like a play doll size people. They hold Gulliver hostage for no reason. He asks to leave and never harm them, and the refuse. So Gulliver gets to know these people and actually starts to like them. These people have enemies, so they use Gulliver to defend them against the armies. The book is just starting to pick up and get intense with Gulliver fighting off the other armies. Gulliver plays a different role in the Lilliput city. He is kind of like their savior in a way and their enemy at the same time, because they don't know anything about him.
