If I had $1 million dollars I would buy...


If I had $1 million dollars I would buy anything I could and everything I could.


I would buy a dog/puppy for sure though. They are so cute and they are not something that you buy and grow out of. I don't know which kind I would get, but I would get a puppy so they live longer. I never had a dog, and I wish I did because it could teach me how to be responsible, but my family is at work on week days and on weekends we are sometimes gone. I really like dogs because when they are puppies they play a lot. My neighbors have dogs and I play with them, but I haven't in a long time, but I play fetch with them. If I had a dog I would take it for walks every day, feed it, and play with it. I would love to have a dog.
Another thing I would buy is a phone with Internet on it, my phone now has Internet on it, but I can't use it because it would be extra money. I would probably buy a phone that would slide (but I'm getting that in a year) I don't really need a new phone but I would like to have one with Internet.

Coast Guard rescues 3 year old boy who floated away from shore

Wordle: COast Guard save 3 year old

Coast Guard rescues 3 year old boy who floated away from shore
By: Sheboygan Press
On Wednesday, June 23, 2010 a Coast Guard saved a little boy. It took place at Lake Michigan, where a three year old was pulled away from shore on a pool toy. What happened was a strong wind came over the beach where Kayden, a three year old boy, was with his family and he was sitting an inflatable dolphin when the wind came and pulled him away from the shore and his family.
He floated about 200 yards away from the shore. He was unhurt, but the terror of his family was horrible. Kayden was with his mother and his 3 other girls were with him. After Julia Yang,14, heard her little sister scream she tried to swim and get him, but the current was really strong and she couldn’t swim.
Lee said Yang and two other relatives from Fond du Lac where visiting and went to the beach with Lee’s wife Linda Yang,22, and Kayden. Lee got a call from his wife, she said, “I came down here and he was gone,” Lee thought that Kayden was drowning so he borrowed his neighbors car, because Linda (his wife) had the family’s only car. Lee said that while he was driving his heart was beating so fast that he couldn’t think of anything. When he got there, he was relived that his only son was ok.
Marcus Evans, the chief of Coast Guard Sheboygan, said five crew members launched the 25 foot rescue boat within a minute of the 911 call. They found the boy straddling the pool toy and clinging to the handles. Evans said Kayden was screaming when they got there, he was shaken up and cold, but other than that he was fine.
This article is important to know about because things like that could happen anywhere at anytime and it could be something that is just going to happen once or it could have been going on all day.
Kayden was a 3 year old who was pulled away from the Lake Michigan shore near Sheboygan when a strong wind came. He went to the beach with his mom and 2 relatives that were visiting. He was rescued by a Coast Guard, Marcus Evans. He was all shaken up and cold when he was rescued but he was ok. That incident caused the family a lot of feelings and emotions. The good part was that Kayden Lee, age 3, was ok after being pulled away from shore on a pool toy.

If you could break the Guiness Book of World Records, what would it be for


If I could break one of the records it would be for swimming. The record breaker for the men is Michael Phelps with a count of 7 records he broke (from United States). For women it is Jessica Hardy with a count of 4 records broken (from United States).

I chose swimming because it is really fun and I am always in my pool, even though it is sometimes really cold. My pool isn't that big, it is 4 feet deep and is 12 feet long it takes me 3 strokes to go to the other side. I love to swim because I love to be in the water. I take swimming lessons, I have been doing them for 5 years but I skipped 3 years so I am kind of behind.

Environment

The way that I can reduce the amount of pollution in my area is to bring a garbage bag on a walk with me and pick up any trash I see.

http://www.naturalnews.com/025772_pollution_health_indoor_air.html

I learned is that there is pollution indoors. It is 2 times worse than pollution outside. It is bad for humans health and because children spend 80% of their time indoors it can cause asthma symptoms but can also be responsible for headaches, fatigue, nausea, allergic reactions, hormone imbalances, and liver kidney or central nervous system damage.

Kids can help by just picking up something somebody threw on the ground and put it in the garbage. They can also take their bikes or walk to school instead of taking a car. Another thing is they can turn off the light, TV, sink, etc. when your not using them. Anyone can help the environment.

What famous person living or dead do you admire the most and why?


The famous person that I admire is Deborah Sampson. She was alive during the revolutionary war. Back then women were not aloud to fight in war, so she dressed herself up like a man to fight in the war. She got shot in the leg and got an injury on her head, she let the physicians (nurses/doctors) look and care for her head but she removed the bullet from her leg by herself so the physicians would not find out that she was a girl. Then she got sick and was hospitalized and that's where they remove her from war and was given an honorable discharge. When she went back she was a teacher again (before she went to war she was a teacher too) and would dress up in her uniform and gun and show her class what she had looked like as a soldier. She married a farmer and had 3 kids and also adopted 1. Deborah Sampson was a very brave woman and a strong one too.

The first UFO sighting was on June 24th, 1947 in Washington

I don't know whether life is on other planets, but I do think it is possible.
