My favorite Person that I LOVE!!!

I grew up with my grandma on my moms side, her name was Nellie Slim. She passed away April 10, 2005, and I was in Bethel for Cama-i Dance Festival. She has taught me so much, and she also taught me how to Eskimo Dance and since I am older I LOVE TO DANCE. Thanks to her a lot, if it weren't for her, I would think Eskimo Dancing wouldn't be fun. I love her for that, and many more things that I LOVE HER!!! I will always remember you, and that you will always be in my HEART!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Volley Ball...

This year we had our first trip for volley-ball, we went to Akiak for our first trip. We we're suppose to go Kwethluk, but there was a body that was going to be buried on Saturday. We left Kasigluk on Friday with only five players and our coach, our two other players got stuck with our chaperone. The two games we played didn't count because we were playing five on six. Our one player come, the other didn't because of the river. We finally played a "counted" game because we were six which we played and won two games, so now were 2-0. We all had fun time!

school....

I am a Senior this year here at AKIUK MEMORIAL SCHOOL, home of the GRIZZLIEzz!!! Just like my principal said, "Once you enter the door, you leave this school and still be known as a Grizzly" AND I really liked that, because I came to school for preschool as a Grizzly, and I am going to graduate in May, and I will still consider myself as a Grizzly!!! The picture on right there---> thats me, and I am a 'Akiuk Grizzlies'!

MY DREAM...

One of my dreams of my life is to graduate from college. I just can't to graduate from high school, so that i can get to college and get my bachelors degree in education. I want to become a teacher!! A certified teacher..because I want to be the first from my family to graduate from college. I want my parents to be proud of me from graduating from college, because none of my siblings graduated from college. Except my sister had to come home from college because of our grandma, she was getting sick, thats why she came home. 

So I want my dream to come true!!! Pray for me so that I can try my best!!! :)

A visitor...

We have a visitor this past week, his one of the Pamyua members. He came back to dance with us. He has taught us their Pamyua songs, and how to sing some of them. We had so much fun! Wish he could stay longer than a week so that we can learn to sing, and not just to dance. But it was fun! 

Steve brought his daughter, she is so cute and she is so funny. When he and his daughter first came, he kept making us laugh. She seemed to be quiet, but she was like her father, really funny. She comes to the room to hang with us, while her dad is in the gym singing and teaching the students how to dance. 

It was so much fun when they were visiting here. Hope you two come back so that we can dance again! Also that you two had a good time here in Kasigluk- Akiuk. 

-QUYANA CAKNEQ!! 

I WISH...

I wish that this village would stop drinking, because the people that drink are showing our younger siblings, their kids, and other kids to drink. They have minds and eyes that can see and remember things, they have brains and memories like each and every one of us. Why do we need to let them see adults to drink. If others don't want their kids or other kids in the village to drink, why drink in front of them? Just stop drinking and show that they love their kids and other kids. Didn't God say to LOVE ONE ANOTHER? Love your kids as thy neighbor...STOP DRINKING AND SET GOALS FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND OTHERS TO HAVE GOOD FUTURE. Thanks!!

Timberline..

My high skewl went on a trip, we went to Timberline, we got wood!! I had so much fun!! We left with five snowmachines, two freight sleds, and three sleds. Five adults, and nine high skewlerz. That trip was a blast! My first time going, and the weather going to Timberline was so cold! We were facing the wind while we were going. But going home was warmer because we weren't facing the wind. :) It was so much fun!! We hardly took pictures, but we all have so much memories!! The wost part was....when we were going, we had this gas tank by us girls..snow was coming on us, but it wasnt worse or anything...MY BUTT GOT WET!!! It was so funny! Because I told my teacher to bring me home..funny! We were half way there, and it was so crazy! My friends back got wet too! Poor!! But we all made it home dry:)) Ohk thats enough about my trip...I will always remember what happened!:)
