On September 19,1996 I finally saw the person who endured kicking and morning sickness for nine long months. I loved her from the very start! My family consists of five girls (including who else but me) and two boys; one more prince is on the way. SO COOL! I’ve learned to think of others beside myself through watching my mom. Jut like my mom, Christmas is my favorite holiday out of all the others. At the age of three I had the urge to go to school. My lie has included many things such as my firsts, school and family events.
All my life I have been doing new things. For instance when I was four or five months I took my first steps and said my first words. Then, at the age of two I was potty trained and also read my first words. At three I broke my leg and dislocated my foot by tripping over a boot. At five years of age, I got my ears peered. I also lost my first tooth and went to my first Stickdance in Kaltag. When I was six, I taught myself how to ride a bike and cut my hair independently, I looked so funny! My first time I went knee boarding was in the summer of ’07. I hope I continue to try new things throughout my life.
On the previous page I told you how much I wanted to go to school. Thus, I was really happy on my first day of kindergarten. My teacher was Jamie Kachatag. My favorite teacher was Mrs. (Julie) Egli. She made learning fun. At the age of seven my teacher was Denise Thomas. She was good, but I wish I had Debbie Currier, she is so cool! Third grade was taught by Melissa Towered, but after the Jamboree, I moved to Altar to finish school there. Then in the forth grade I hade Mrs. (Hannah) Howard. There was a lice out-break and I had to shave my hair. So sad! I hope that will never happen ever again. I know there will be more school years ahead that I will have to prepare for.
My family has been through many situations together. At the age of two, my sister Jasmine was born on the third of December in 1998. About four years latter my sister Sleeping Beauty was born in April on the 23 in the year of 2002. When I was six my sisters and I received a bear. We named her Blu. Sadly eighteen months latter she died. My sister Bell also tried to teach me how to ride a four-wheeler, I still never learned how to ride that vehicle proficiently .I will never forget that horrid day when I found my gram with a broken hip. I cried all the time! When I was nine I went to Kaltag. I miss being there ALOT! A year latter my sister Bell left for M.E.H.S. I missed her so much. Thus, I was happy when she came back. I hope my family will have many more happenings in the near future.
My life has been…well…I can’t really describe it. I guess I would have to say that my life is nothing out of the ordinary. What I mean is that my life is just…uh what’s that word normal. When I grow up I want to make an impact on the world. Or do something that would make an even bigger stand for woman or Native Alaskans, by becoming a designer or secret agent. Hopefully, I will travel around the world. Why? Well I want to meet new people, try new things, and live life to its fullest.

I liked how you used your exclamation marks. They were used when they were needed. I liked the words you put into your essay like: consists, independently, proficiently, horrid, and ordinary. Although, you should like make your paragraphs a little shorter. I mean you’re talking about different subjects in some of them. But other than that, I really like it. It’s very descriptive and nice. :]
Well you have some convention mistakes in couple of paragraphs (editing). The essay is really good for ideas and organization, but you are talking about different things in the essay, so put every subject in different paragraphs. Put the big paragraph into small paragraphs. It’s well written and it’s good.
