I started school last Friday. This is my first time in public school and I LOVE it! I think it's cool to have a locker but i hate the hmk. I wish i didn't have so much. I'll write more on school later.

Biking to the Brookfield Zoo

Just a week ago, we went to the Brookfield zoo as a family. I didn't get lost but John almost did. We had a good time but i have to agree with my mom, i think the Lincoln zoo is better.

My Question: What are you doing for Animals????

When I'm older, I'm really hoping and praying that i will become a veterinarian. I love animals and everything to do with them. Just to think of all those poor sick animals out there in the world, makes me want to take action. So i will! WILL YOU HELP ME?
Just think of all those animals out there that are so innocent that if you don't feel guilty for hurting them, you are a total waste to this Earth. They have feelings, just like you and me and we hurt them. If they could talk to us (and we could understand them) i would think they would be asking with tears in their eyes "Why are you hurting me? What have I done to you? I have feelings just like you. You are being unfair to me. You don't belong on this Earth."
If you don't want a dirty soul, try doing whatever you can to help animals! Try volunteering! I need ideas and i need them before another animals dies. Can you put posts on here of ideas for me to do while I'm here in America? Or, if you know me, can you email ideas to me? Dogs are dying out there and it's all our faults. There have been times when i have ignored a helpless animal and they die. I KNOW that i can do something but part of it is that i just don't know what! :( I pray for those animals out there any time i can. In Africa, there are LOTS of abandoned dogs where i live. I want to help them, but i just don't know how. I need your help.
CAN YOU DO IT, OR ARE YOU JUST TOO GUILTY?

Fish!

Just yesterday, I got the call i had been waiting for. The pastor at our church said i could have a fish! So the same day, i went down to PETCO with my dad and brother to get two fish (this is because one fish would be lonely without a friend). they were very helpful and i bought goldfish flakes, a thermometer, gravel, and two Comet Goldfish. John was unhappy that i had gotten a fish (even though i spent $14! on one) so he was able to convince Dad into letting him buy a small fish home, a statue thing to go in the bowl, and a goldfish. John only got one so I'm really guessing that his fish is really lonely. You can't really really tell the gender of the fish so i chose two girls. The first one, is orange and white so I named her Colby Jack after the cheese. The second one if white, orange, and black and orange and black are my school colors back in Niger. So i named it Sahel's Comet after the girls' softball team (the Comets). ALSO, she was a COMET goldfish so it fit perfectly. I'm really hoping they will last at least a month because the lady said they can die easily and may only last a week. I really hope not! I woke up at 7:30 this morning to feed Comet and Colby and i found out that Colby is a food hog. He tried to eat all Comet's food. Comet doesn't eat as fast so i had to worry about her. She also threw up so of the food she ate and COLBY ATE IT! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colby, you're really disgusting. But i know it's normal with fish.

Lost @ the Lincoln Park Zoo

A few days ago, my family went to the zoo (see title). While we were there, i got lost. I thought my family was going to the monkeys outside the monkey building so that was where i went. It turns out, i was wrong and they were actually inside. I was so scared and i kept praying and reciting Psalm 139. Then, i got lost a second time, but it was only for less than a minute. I'm glad to be back home now....SAFE.
