Saving for Sea World--Choice & Accountability #7

Our family wants to save money to buy a pass for the Living Planet Aquarium in Utah.  We have to save our money before we can buy one.  I am selling some of my toys on the internet and saving the money.  We are also selling snow cones.  The very first thing we do from our money is to pay tithing.  I know if we pay tithing that Heavenly Father will help us to keep making money for our trip.  We have been saving for about 3 months and are getting closer and closer.  We will have our money saved by the time the new aquarium opens.  

Knowledge Value Experience #2 Hair Styles

Some of the talents I have are clogging, singing, swimming, dancing, spelling and soccer.  One of the things I want to get better at is doing hair styles.  I got on the computer and watched some videos to see how to do different hair styles.  I learned how to do a messy bun and a fishtail braid.  I learned a little bit of how to do a French braid but I can't do it all the way yet.  I have to keep working on it.

Clogging 2013--Individual Worth Personalized Value Experience #8

I started clogging 4 years ago.  Clogging is very hard but I kept doing it because I liked it.  I had to practice extra because it was hard.  Our team went to Lagoon for a clogging competition and we got a 1st place.  We were very excited.   We clogged to a song called "Call Me Maybe"

The Flamingo Phantom Gets Foiled--Individual Worth #5

This year in 6th grade at White Pine School I was in drama club.  We performed a melodrama called the Flamingo Phantom Gets Foiled.  A melodrama is different from a musical because it doesn't have music or dancing but the audience gets to yell "boo" at the bad guy and "yay" at the good guy.  I played the part of Candy Cupcake.  She was a famous pastry chef.  This play made me feel good about myself because I was able to perform in front of other classes at our school.  It's scary to perform in front of classmates but I was able to do it.

Annie 2013--Individual Worth 10 hr Value Project

This summer I auditioned for the musical Annie.  I got the part of Pepper.  She is one of the orphans.  She was not a very nice orphan.  She was kind of a bully and a tom boy.  I made lots of new friends.  It was a lot of hard work but it turned out really fun.  We practiced 6 days a week for 2-3 hours per night.  We practiced for 7 weeks and performed for 1 1/2 weeks.   We had to learn 5 songs and 3 dances.  I learned how to take care of my mic.  I learned about costuming.  I love to sing, dance and act.  Sometimes I had a hard time with the dances, but I did a lot of practicing and I ended up doing a good job.  A lot of the orphans were a lot younger than me, so I kind of got to be like their big sister.  I miss it like crazy and want to try out for another play very soon.
