     When you have something dont let it distract you from your family or friends.  Because when I was 7 years old I was really nice until one morning when I went to school,  I wanted to make new friends. I was really shy to meet anyone. But when I sat next to this girl she started to smile at me i said hi to her all nervous she said hi back. Then I asked her if she was ever distracted from her family and friends but she was listening to me she was distracted by me because she was talking to her other friends. Time for lunch the teacher yelled.

     So at lunch she kept on talking her friends I was very mad so mad that I wanted to burst into flames. Then after that we went to art. In art class she tried to talk to me she said umm....im sor. "SHE DID'NT GET TO FINISH SAYING SORRY"  hey why did you leave us said her friends. Come to my desk so we can talk about fashion said her friends again. Look I gotta go I'll see you later ok said the girl.

     Later that day my mom picked me up from school. I told her what happend and she wasnt listening she was distrcted because she was talking on the phone so I got so extremly mad that i wanted to yell. then we went home,and ate dinner of course my brother was diggging in his nose and putting his bugers under the chair, my mom was on the phone and my dad was looking at the news paper.Then I just realized that people can be distracted from alot of things. so I went up to my bed room and was jotting down facts about people being distracted from their family and friends.

     This morning I was walking home and the girl finally apoligized to me I said thank you your really nice. whats your name by the way? I asked her then she ran off with her skate board. Well that was weird but at least she said sorry.      

     My message is dont let things make you get distracted from important things.
