Abercrombie!!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — xocherryox at 2:40 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2007

I decided to do the company Abercrombie.If you do not know then it is a teen store one of the most popular stores now a days.Some more stores that are popular are Hollister,American Eagle,Aeropastale, Abercrombie & Fitch and Abercrombie.I had chosen this store because it has really nice clothes and they are very stylish and simple at the same time.I had asked if they thought that they were ever going to close down or not be popular any more.To visit the website for this company and leave a comment or just look at it click on this link…http://www.abercrombie.com

I really like the season  of summer.It is my favorite season because it is nice and warm during the summer.Also in the summer unlike winter  you can do indoor things or outdoor things.I love to go out to the beach and play outside in the sun.I also like summer because that is when we have summer vacation and when my birthday is.Then there is the 4th of  July and I like to watch the fireworks in the air.That is why summer is my favorite holiday.;-]

The Wall Stopping Me From Trying to be a Pediatrician

Filed under: Uncategorized — xocherryox at 1:12 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2007

I have always wanted to be some type of doctor when I grow up.First I wanted to be a vet then a surgeon next a nurse who delivers babies and now a pediatrician.I do not know if my dreams of that career are going to change and i might want to become something else rather than a doctor.But anyways the big thing in the way of me becoming that is studying and becoming really good at science.that is the big thing that I am worried about.Science changes every year for me sometimes  I like it sometimes I don’t.This year so far I think that I am really enjoying some parts of science and some parts … not sooo much.I also think that studying more about this subject is important because it is science that you mostly have to know  to become a doctor.So I think that I need to study more about this subject . This is what is the big wall I have is.             

If I wasn’t afraid…..

Filed under: Uncategorized — xocherryox at 2:59 pm on Monday, October 1, 2007

If i was not afraid of anything I would get over my fear of chuckie the doll and sea animals like sharks.Ever since I was little I have been afraid of Chuckie(that hideous ,orange haired doll with freckles and scars all over its face )it has always creeped me out but I wasn’t afraid I wouldn’t have that problem anymore.I have also hated sea animals that harm you like sharks. I do not like boats because of this reason.Once I went on a little boat that went atleast 50 mph. it was sooo fast I was so afraid if like a shark just came up out of know where and we crashed and the sharks came to eat us.Then after a while we were going so fast that i didn’t even think about that.But if you do go on a luxury boat that is so slow it is horrifying because I think of all that.So that is what it would be like to not be afraid.
