My favorite sense is my sense of taste because I love to eat and it has changed my life because I know what certain foods are because of there certain taste for example my grandmas strawberry cake that she makes every year on my birthday I love it also I love to taste the cookies my mom and I make every year for our Christmas party.

If I lost my sense of taste I would go CRAZY because  I would not be able to taste the delicious cake or cookies. Also I wouldn’t be able to taste my dads famous green chile casserole. I would be very sad, mad, and upset if I lost my sense of taste.

In the town Reading, Pennsylvania on December 13, 1989 a blue eyed blond hair child was born , little did the world know how she would encourage and change  peoples lives all over the world, her name was Taylor Swift.
Andrea Swift her mother, Scott K. her dad , Austin her little brother, they lived in the town of Reading, Pennsylvania. She attended Wyndcroft school in Elementary School, Henderson ville High School, Wyoming area junior/senior High School.
In fourth grade she won a national poetry contest for her 3 page poem “A Monster in my Closet”. She has won songwriter/artist of the year award, making her the youngest person to win  this award.
when she was 10 years old she started singing at karaoke contest, carnivals, fairs, etc… when she was 12 she started playing a 12 string guitar. Her first performance was when she was 11 years old opening act for Charlie Daniels at aStrauss town amphitheater.

when she was 12 her family moved to Nashville. She became the youngest person ever to be hired by Sony/ATV tree publishing house. October 24, 2006 her first album came out she was 16 years old.the album sold 39,000 copies.

my favorite song is our song  released January 21, 2000. She writes her songs about what she feels at that time and yes she does write about her break ups a lot of the time. she is inspiring to me because she helps others and she tries her best to encourage other people.

There is a frog in  my throat

I can hear it croak

over and over again

I try to talk but when i open my mouth that old comes out again

 

I went to the nurse, The doctor, And the vet to see if I could get that thing out

but they looked at me like is was crazy

so I just went home to pout

 

One morning I woke up with a fly on my nose

I tried to swat it but something hit the ceiling

Who knows what it was,  maybe a rose

but when I talked I noticed a feeling

 

It was my throat

That old frog decided that he was hungry  

so out he jumped to grab a bite to eat

now I can talk as I please

without that old frog bothering me!

“Go to bed right now!” my mother said firmly.”We will see you in the morning.” my dad said in a hushed voice. “OK, I love you”I said.Click out went the lights. The next morning I ran like a cheetah down the stairs to see if Santa had eaten the cookies, there wasn’t even a crumb left on the plate. I turned to see oodles of presents. Big presents, small presents, pink presents, blue presents. I ripped and tore through presents, but there was one little box on the fireplace that caught my attention. It said “open me” on the front. I carefully picked one piece of tape at a time and then took off the lid. Inside the box was a card. The card said “get your oven mitts ready because you are going to work in a soup kitchen!” “Oh boy oh boy I can’t wait to go this will be so much”, “wait what is a soup kitchen” i asked my mom with a puzzled look on my face? “A soup kitchen is a place where you can go to volunteer to help people who are less fortunate” she said.

On the way there we sang Christmas songs and I played with my barbie doll she had blue eyes, a red dress, and green slippers on her feet, I named her Bella. We turned the corner and on the side of the road there was a sign that said “homeless shelter this way.” when we got there I screamed with excitement “we are here!”

Inside there were decorations on the tables. We put on our aprons and sat at a table. My siblings and I peeled carrots and potatoes while my mom and dad cut them up and put them into bowls. After they were done i took the potatoes to be made into mashed potatoes and the carrots to be put with the ranch. We put forks, spoons, plates, napkins, and cups on the table. Everything was ready then a nice lady came up to me and asked me if I wanted a cookie for helping. I took the cookie and we drove home. It was the best Christmas of my life!

I hope every one has a wonderful day and just think about what would happen if Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t have gave that speach to  unite colors with whites. we wouldn’t be able to talk to some of our friends if they were colored, and we wouldn’t be able to go to the same school together. So just remember this day off of school as an honor and not just a fun day to do what ever you want to do. Remeber Martin Luther King Jr. and Rossa Parks and how wonderful these poeple are to our nation.
