Laptop...

The laptop I got was from the State that LKSD was granted for ten school from LKSD, and our school was one of the ten schools that got laptops. I was a sophomore when I got mine and I still have it. Although it has cracks, but still working good and I'm HAPPY about it. I just LOVE my laptop and I NEED it with me. It's like I'm married to it, well it had a mind, it has brains (mechanical style), but it needs batteries to live, and I need a HEART to live. I prefer my laptop as my "HUSBAND" because I always take it with me all the time.

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.

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!!
