I love kids. Little kids make my day on a daily basis especially when they get excited about absolutely pointless things. I work with little kids every weekend, I baby sit, I have volunteered for summer camps at Westside and I work there as a birthday party host. There is this one little girl in grade 5 that went to summer camps while I was volunteering there and she now goes to Calgary Academy. I saw her last year but I didn’t think she remembered me so I didn’t say anything. During the Terry Fox Run this year we had to go to a grade 5 class and find a theme for our grades. She was in the Grade 5 class my class was paired with this year. When she saw that I went to her school, her face just lit up. I have never seen expression of true excitement until this. She jumped out of her desk and hugged me as soon as she could. She wouldn’t let me go until I promised her I would volunteer for Westside again. I kept telling her I had to go but she didn’t let me ago until her teachers had to peel her off of me. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. Every time I see her in the hallways, she runs up and hugs and smiles the biggest smile I have and/or ever will see.

Since I live in Canada and specifically Calgary, I have a lot of winter stories. Some are happy, some are sad but most are hilarious. For example, the time I ran into a tree. This story takes us back to when I was in grade 7. I was in an all mountain ski program at C.O.P. and recently discovered my love for tree runs. On the school ski trip my friends and I ditched the ski lessons we were required to do and went down some runs that weren’t exactly easy for 3 snowboarders. The runs weren’t also that easy for me either. One of my friends decided to take off her snowboard and slide down on her butt. She got out of there safely and we had no idea where the other two went but we weren’t too concerned. I wanted to practice popping off of drops because I had recently discovered my love for taking air at that time. I was kind of scared so I waited for my friend to be completely off the run and sitting safely on the cat track or pathway. When I saw she was completely stable I asked her to spot me because I was kind of nervous. I straight-line the little part of hill, gaining a bit more speed then I hoped to and I hit the drop. I flew uncontrollably off the drop and landing on the cat track, but I couldn’t get control fast enough. I kept going and flew off another drop. In my head I’m thinking well at least there isn’t a tree. Suddenly, a tree appears coming out of nowhere. Oh shit.  I fly head first into the tree. I remember passing out for a couple of seconds. I also remember thinking it was a dream. I wake up stuck between three trees. It took me 10 minutes to untangle myself. My friend and I still laugh at this memory on a weekly basis. It was hilarious then and even funnier now. There isn’t a snow memory in my brain quite like this.

If you have ever had a best friend, you would have many stories about laughing so hard no sound came out or you started to cry. I would know, cause my best friend and I share many of these laugh attacks, but one stands out of all the rest.

            It was four weeks into summer and I hadn’t seen my best friend since school got out. I was on my way to her house with our favorite movie and a whole ton of candy. When I got to her house we headed straight or  the basement where we watched T.V. for a while and the movie. As usual, she sat on the pull out couch and I sat in the rocking chair. I was sitting on the chair, quite distracted by the movie and suddenly, I hear a scream. I turn around and my best friend some how fell down in between the pull out bed and the back of the couch. Her legs are in the perfect splits position and he head was peaking from in between them. She looks at me and cried for help. I burst out laughing! I could not believe she got stuck in the couch. She waves her arms but most of her arm was stuck as well so she just looked like a T-Rex. I fell onto the floor laughing. She gives up with me helping her and decides it would be a good idea to fall down all the way to the floor and try to role out. I am still laughing. She reaches the floor and tries to role out, only to find that there is the back of the couch on one side and the front of the bottom of the couch on the other. I am laughing so hard that I looked like a clown cause my mascara had run down my face. She stayed there for a while until I came to my senses. I ran and got her dad. Her dad started laughing as well but he still managed to get her out. This was 2 years ago but I still remember it to this day. I still laugh when I see the pictures I took.

               Imagine that you are on a school band trip with seven of your friends, one including your boyfriend. The bus has stopped at a mall food court for lunch and there is so much food to choose from. There is Chinese, Sandwiches, Pizza, McDonald, Etc. You and your boyfriend choose your favorite food of all times, Sushi. The group of seven splits up and goes to an other place. You and your boyfriend order food and sit down in a table nearest to the Sushi place you can find. The food comes and you see that your Boyfriend has ordered your favorite roll of all times .  You scan his plate and see the best piece. It has the most crab and the biggest piece of shrimp you have ever seen fit into a tiny roll. You have eat it. He doesn’t touch the piece of sushi because he knows you want it and he wont give it to you. You try stealing it from his plate but he doesn't let you near his food. Next plot is distracting him, doesn't work. Finally, you give up and carry on eating your own Sushi. You look up and see your friends and wave them over. Your boyfriend gets distracted when your friends come and take their seats and start talking. He stops eating, losing focus on the piece of Sushi to talk with your friends. You take advantage of this situation and snatch the piece off his plate. You put it in your mouth before he realized what happened. It tasted amazing! You swallow and start describing how amazing the piece what.
