I'm doing 42 things
I was forced into my swimming class by a glitch in the scheduling, and then, somehow, when the counselors got it fixed, there wasn’t any room in any other classes. At first I was scared, my hands shook on the first day, but I eventually got over my semi-waterphobia. This summer I went to the pool with my friends for the first time and surprised myself by jumping off the diving board!
It was great.

How I did it
It made me
disappointed 
How I did it: Well, I ditched school and went to go see it with my brother. It really sucked. A lot. I don't recommend it. For a movie that I've een waiting to see since I was in 4th grade, it wasn't worth it at all. Read how I did it…
It made me
accomplished 
How I did it: I just took a feather that I found from the zoo and made it into a quill. I just used scissors and cut off the edge and curved it. It's not that hard, so have fun with it. :) Read how I did it…
It made me
good about myself
How I did it: I didn't talk and became mute when I realised the girls were gossiping and stayed out of it. When I saw them huddled in the corner, talking about people, I didn't join in. Read how I did it…
