Find Someone to Admire

Do you have someone in your life that you admire? I do! It is my mom. She is a great mother. She cares for me, helps me, and is always making me laugh!

My mom cares for me. She makes sure that I eat healthy, she washes my clothes, and feeds me. She not only takes care of me, but also my dad and three brothers. When she goes to work she is a nurse, so she takes care of people there too!

My mom helps me. She helps me with any schoolwork that I am having trouble with. She helps me by teaching me manners and how to be a good sport. She helps me get to my soccer games and she cheers for me.

My mom is always making me laugh. She is super funny. I laugh at her jokes and she laughs at me when I am funny too.

If you don't have a person to admire, I hope that you find one. It is great being a kid and having someone to look up to!

Harriet Tubman

By TAYLOR ADAMS

I am going to tell you what I learned about Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was born in Maryland in 1821. That was 189 years ago. Her family lived on a plantation. Harriet had 10 brothers and sisters. They all had to work for the man that owned the plantation, and of course they were slaves too. They had to do what the man told them to do. Harriet started working when she was 6 years old. She was always very tired.

Harriet Tubman, an African-American, freed slaves. She did a great thing, and that's why today we don't have slaves. Harriet Tubman made a lot of slaves happy because she led them to Pennsylvania by the Underground Railroad for protection. She was very brave. She kept on going back to the South until all the slaves were free. She was very lonely while she went to get the slaves. That is what I learned about Harriet Tubman.
