hey yal!
so i was entered into a writing contest for my school and I was wondering if some of you could check it out and tell me what you think of it because well I kinda just want to know what you think! SO a little background. The prompt was to write abut your Michigan Hero ( that's because I live in Michigan lol ) so if you want to read it here it is: I just didn't want to post it in my actual writing thing but just check it out if you want!
MY MICHIGAN HERO
When everyone thinks of the pandemic, what usually comes to mind? I know that most of my friends would say “No school!”, “Had to stay home.” Many might even say that it was the worst time in their entire lives. But for me it was nice. Now, I need to explain this properly. It wasn’t great that people were getting sick and couldn’t see their family members. But for me being the busy 6th and 7th grader that I was it was nice to have time that I could actually spend with my family. And because of that, my entire family is my Michigan Hero. They are what got me through some of the hardest times in my life.
My mom was one of the busiest people I know. Before covid was brought into the light I was dancing 4 days a week for like 5 hours a night. For only having one vehicle, and only really one person to take me because my dad was always working that meant all that driving was passed down to my mother. Back and forth from home to the dance studio. And on top of that, I have a younger brother and he was really into sports then too. So that added more for my mother to have to do. But through it all, she just kept going. She never complained once and was always there if my brother or I needed help. Not only that but she had several jobs then too. So while we were off at school she was working her but off for our family.
My brother is a whole different ball game. You’d get the joke if you knew that my brother plays baseball. Haha right? Okay, anyway. My brother is 2 and a half years younger than me so if you have siblings that are only a little bit younger than you, you know exactly where I’m going with this. He is a rambunctious ball of energy and he has to get that out some way. So while I was in my zoom classes, doing my work, forgetting to mute myself all you can hear in the background
is my brother laughing and my mom telling him to be quiet. Having a brother can be both entertaining and sometimes annoying. But over anything, he’s my brother and I love him.
My dad is the glue in the family. He works, and works, and works. But he still comes home and is always ready to hear about our day. And through covid, he worked more but always came home ready to see his wife and children. He told us stories of what he had done during the day and always wanted to know what had happened in our days. Even though he was tired he was always ready for the adventures that awaited, while all of us were at home. He was the reason I stayed sane all those months.
My family is my greatest personal Michigan hero.
CHAPTER THREE
"Pain shapes a woman into a warrior," Eletta states, combing out the mess that my hair is in. After the staged fight with Corbin, I ran straight to my room. Eletta stood there waiting for me. Her arms had been ready for the hug that I needed. There was no mistaking that the small woman loved me, and I had to admit I loved her too. I may not ever find out who my real mother is but Eletta sure has made up for it.
I need helpppppp! lol
trueee
