L.E.S

One cold day in early January, I was born at 5: 11 p.m. After the nurse weighed me I was 21 inches and 8lb.s 3 oz. As soon as I was born, I cried on the VHF around the Norton Sound area. Since I was the first baby born at NSRHC (Norton Sound Regional Health Corporation) in 1997, I was in the “Nome Nugget “. Out of all the kids my mom had she was pregnant with me the longest (17 days late). I’ve had a lot of fun with my family, traveling around Western Alaska, and being in school.
Being the youngest in my family, I have learned to share my life with them. I have four sisters, three brothers and a dog. When I got my dog, Velma, I was so excited. She is now seven years old and very lively. Unexpectedly, my brother, David, came for Christmas in 2001. He spoiled us and treated us the best. At least, a year and a half later, Dwight came again to watch us while my parents were in Anchorage. In 2004, my family and I moved to Savoonga. During our first Christmas in Savoonga , David came again. Almost everyday he would buy us a slush puppy and candy. Sadly he reluctantly left and said good-bye. A year later his girlfriend was pregnant and had a baby girl named Lanah. David came with his family. That was the first time I met my niece. About a year and a half later, my other niece was born. Her name is Denali and I have never met her before. My sister, Irene got married in Barrow to Waldo Sniffle. I also have a nephew from my other sister. His name is Leo Beluga Sniffle. He was born to my sister, Miyax, on July 32, 2007. He is six months old and growing fast. I will never forget my family.
I have always liked traveling with my family around Western Alaska. My first time I remember traveling was going to Nome when my teeth needed to be extracted. When my dad went with me, he made me feel safe. The extracting didn’t even hurt. In 2002, my family and I went to Savoonga to visit. I had fun since it was my first time there. Sadly, we got stormbound and wasn’t able to leave. After the storm was over, we finally left. Every summer on Nunivak Island, my family and I would travel to our camp at McCormick. We would go swimming and play games. One time my siblings and I were telling ghost stories in the tent. . I enjoyed being there and spending time with my family. Later on that year, my friend Walrus invited Humpack and I to Barrow for a carnival. We went and had fun even though I got sick. It was from something I smelled in the building. Also we went to the pool and had fun swimming. Finally, we reluctantly had to leave for home. I hope to keep traveling around Western Alaska, around the world and even in space, as I get older.
I’ve always loved to learn in school. When I was 3 years old, I started school. Since I skipped a grade, I am usually the youngest in my class. When I moved to Savoonga, I was in third grade levels. That same year I traveled alone again. My siblings Kapugen, Naka, Humpack, and I went to Gifted & Talented Camp in Savoonga. While there, everybody made I-Motion movies about Aesop Fables. At the end, all the movies were silly to watch. After 2 days in Nome, we left. Last year, we didn’t have a camp since nobody had a project. The last two years I have had the GREATEST teacher, Denise Damadays. This year I am in her homeroom class. This year I chose to play the flute for music. During the Christmas Concert we played “Good King Wenceslas”. As I get older, I hope to go to high school, college at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and be in the NASA program.
In conclusion, my life has been very happy and joyful. I have a lot of dreams I want to accomplish. As I get older, I plan to travel more and have a great time. My travel goals are to go to different continents or even a different planet. In high school, I hope to receive a good education so I could get into the N.A.S.A Program. Learning is fun and is one of the best ways to live your life. My life has been great with my family, being in school, and traveling around Western Alaska.

    As i read this paper i noticed some big words, in your 2nd paragraph you used “unexpectedly” and in your 3rd paragraph you used “reluctantly”. Altho i have seen a lot of “I”s, you can try to find more words that can substitute I, i think your paper would be a little better. Your paper is kinda out of order, you talked about going to the NASA program then skipped off in to your life then started to talk about NASA again. Also you have used “as i get older” three times, once in your 3rd, 4th and 5th paragraph. If you can try to find a different way to word that, but it can be good the way it is. And yeah this paper is written pretty good.

    You were born in 1997? You’re already thinking about college? Your title says L.E.S., but I don’t know what it stands for, so it’s confusing. Titles usually give the reader an idea about what the paper’s about. Who are Kapugen, Naka, and Humpack? What are Aesop Fables? Well, anyways, good paper. For editing, Both of the NASA”s have convention errors. One’s NASA and the other is N.A.S.A. You forgot the last “.” a the last A.
