Children's Stories

Night School

I woke up at 7:00 in the morning to go to school and it was still dark outside. I went to the bus and it was still dark outside. I was in my pajamas. The other kids were in their pajamas. The bus took me to school. The teachers were not in their pajamas but the kids were. It was just another day.

The Birthday

When the bus wheel hit a puddle in front of Breeona's house, the mud splattered all over her brand new shirt that her Grandmother Tyrona sent for her birthday. Her special day wasn't starting out great. Breeona went back inside her house to change her shirt. The bus waited for Breeona. Breeona's bus was rather on time for school. They had chocolate cake with chocolate icing to celebrate Breeona's birthday. They wished Breeona happy birthday all day from morning until afternoon.

Then, when Breeona came home, Grandma Tyrona had a big, big, big birthday party for her. Again she ate chocolate cake with chocolate icing. For Breeona's present, she opened another brand new shirt. It was an excellent birthday for Breeona. Breeona was very happy. The end.

The Race

Tyler pedaled hard up the hill. Tyler was chasing Tanner, who always won the races. Tanner turned to smile and didn't see the tree branch that had fallen in the storm. Then, Tanner's wheel stopped and he fell to the ground. Tyler stopped racing to help Tanner. Tyler walked over to check Tanner's knee. Tanner had fallen on his knee. Tyler helped Tanner to the sidewalk. Then, he went to get mom, Inez, to help him.
They came back in 15 minutes to help him home. Tanner couldn't race for awhile, but he was okay.

Camping

While sitting around the campfire last night, the most amazing thing happened...
I heard a scream. It came from the woods. I went to see what it was.
It was scary walking over there. When I got there, I saw another camper playing a joke. He had played a joke on his brother and sister. They were scared. I helped them back. I told his parents on him. Then I went to bed. It was a fun camping trip.

Elna's Big Day at the School Prom

Elna is a 19 year old girl who loves going to the prom. Elna loves the prom because she has a date with Tyler. Tyler's in the same classroom as Elna. Tyler and Elna really love to write braille together. The prom is this evening. They are going to have dinner together and chocolate cake with chocolate icing for dessert. "I can't wait until tonight," said Elna. "I can't wait either," said Tyler. They danced and danced until they couldn't dance anymore. Tyler and Elna had so much fun at the prom. It was a very nice night.

All About Taekwondo for Kids

I began Taekwondo in November of last year. I was nervous when I started because I wasn't sure how to make new friends and I didn't know any of the moves. When I got to the first class, everyone was very nice. I was excited to get started and learn all about Taekwondo. When you take Taekwondo, you must wear a white t-shirt, white pants, white jacket and different colored belts. Ihave a yellow belt and will be testing for the camouflage colored belt soon. I would like to encourage people with a disability to get involved in Taekwondo. I believe that Taeckwondo will help build self-esteem and self-defense.
