My Life Story

This is the story of my life. I Danielle Dawn Leigh was born on April 1, 1996. In the Rockland Hospital.  I was born early, but not too early, my due date was April 10, 1996. When I was born My parents were teenagers. My mom was 18 and my dad was 17. He would be 18 on May 29. The first relative to visit me in the hospital was my great grandpa Hanus (Han-is). He got a card for me. He and my mom were very very close. When he got back down to the lobby after seeing me he went into Cardiac Arrest. The doctors took him and started working on him. My mom found out what happened. They worked on him ‘till it was 12:01 PM. Then announced him dead. My mom got upset and said ‘If you couldn’t do anything for him then you cant do any thing for me.’ Then she took me and wen out of the hospital and drove home with my dad.

When I was 1 and 5 months (17 months) old, my sister was born, my parents named her Sierra Paige. I got to hold her, she was so cute. She red hair and blue eyes. She was pretty big. Because she was born very late. Her due date was October 11, 1997.  But she wouldn’t come out, then on October 31st the doctors said that they could get her to come out. But my mom said no because she didn’t want to ruin the first halloween that I was able to go trick-or-treating. She and my grammy had made me a costume. I was a princess. So Sierra was born on November 3, 1997.

When I was 3 and 4 months (40 months) old, my brother was born, they named him Jason Wayne. Me and Sierra go to hold him. Only I remember it more. He was so tiny. He was born prematurely and it was a miracle that he survived. He was born on July 6, 1999.

When I was 3 nearly 4 I went with my Nana (my fathers mother) and my cousins Shena, Dylan, Amber, Jeff, and Zachary and we went hiking.  Up a mountain I think it was called Spruce Mountain. It is a mountain that is actually two mountains. I’ve been hiking with her ever since.

At the age of 4 I was living in some place like Rockland Hights and a new family moved in next store. It turns out that she and my mother knew each other. The family who move next store had kids. I was happy. A boy named Zachary and a little baby girl, named Emily. I played with Zachary. He gave me my first bike ride.

I went to preschool in Union with my cousin Matthew. He is two months and 5 day’s younger than me. My teacher’s names were Barbara and Sue. I made lots of friends.

I moved to Chelsea next to my cousin Shena and went to school there for Kindergarden and 1st grade. I learned cursive, Spanish, and French, all in Kindergarden. It was really fun there.

I move to Washington next to my cousins Matthew, Ashley, and Sean, and my friends Caity, Cory, and Caleb Bixby, and went to Presscot Memorial School for 2nd grade. They wouldn’t let me write in cursive there because none of the other kids knew how to.

I moved to Palermo in 3rd grade and have been here ever since. I like it here. But, I miss my friends from Chelsea and Washington. But, I like all my new friends here.

ELA 8th Grade

If there was a mouse in my house this evening, It would scurry down the hall and and look around the rooms and see: My mother cooking in the kitchen. My sister listening to her ipod touch, dancing around, or she would be doing her homework, hopefully. My little brother would be outside on his mini three-wheeler driving around in circles, doing doughnuts and fishtails. My dad would be outside in the shop, working on stuff and I would be in the my bedroom on the computer or outside under the big oak tree reading or doing my homework if I have any that I didn’t finish.

After my sister finishes her homework or stop listing to her ipod she would outside and to the the club. Jason would follow and so would I. We would enter the club and the mouse would follow. We would do our secret hand shake and and Jason would get the Bunny. He’s like our mascot. Sierra named him BobbyJack.

We’d sit down on our chairs, my chair is a little different, more decorative, I’m the president, and I wanted to have something to show that I was the Prez. We would talk about our first official order of business. Later on our mother and father would bring out our food and Jason would climb down and get it.

After the meeting, we would head inside and bring our plates with us and go to bed. I would set my alarm for five and go to sleep.
