My favorite book is Dear John. The author of my book is Nicholas Sparks. Dear John is about a guy named John, who is in the army, and a girl named Savannah who on summer meet on the Carolina coast, they fall in love but then John has to go back to war in Afghanhistan. When John gets a few days off he flies home to see Savannah. When John's break is over he goes back to the army. Everyday Savannah and John send notes back and forth to eachother, one day John recives a letter from Savannah saying she had met someone else and they are getting married. John was heart broken, he burned all the letters they'd sent back and forth. After they had broken up John had to go to battle, he ended up getting shot and having to return home. The genre of this book is romance. The author of my favorite book Nicholas was given a full track scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. He broke the Notre Dame school record as part of a relay team in 1985 as a freshman (the record still stands), he was injured and had to spend the summer recovering. During that summer he wrote his first novel, though it was never published. He married his wife Catherine, who he met during spring breakin July of 1989. He moved to Sacramento, where he wrote his second novel, which also wasn't published. For more information on Nicholas Sparks Click Here

During the month of October we were given the privilege of going to the Rachel's Challenge assembly. This assembly was about the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Two seniors named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School on the morning of April 20,1999. They began shooting ramdomly at people. In this shooting twelve students and one teacher were killed and more than twenty were injured. These twelve students included a senior named Rachel Joy Scott. Rachel was a very nice and caring person. She always was kind to others and never said an unkind word to someone. Rachel had five challenges that she lived by. These challenges were Eliminate Prejudice, Dare to Dream, Choose your Influences, Kind words, and Start a Chain Reaction. The challenge that I feel is the most important is Eliminate Prejudice. The reason is because we all juge each other, if you wear the right clothes, if you fix your hair the right way, if you have the right shoes, and another big thing is being the new kid. I know what it's like, I moved to Burlington, North Carolina when I was in third grade. I remember thinking the night before school started what if I don't fit in, what if nobody likes me, what if they don't like the clothes I waer or the way I do my hair, it was awful. The next day it was hard trying to fit in because I didn't really know what to do or were to go. I felt like I was alone and nobody even knew I was there, people would forget my name
