Regina's Corner

I was sitting in a chair in my house scrolling through my phone while my brother was going on and on about something. I saw my happily sister playing with her toys. I took a sip of my drink and looked around and thought, I have so much to be grateful for. I am thankful for my family that helps me and wants me to be the best I can become. I am thankful for my friends that always want to help me and wants to make me feel better when I'm down. I am grateful that I have food (even though no one really appreciates it much) because not everyone has it and we are really lucky to be able to say we don't like something and we want something else. I am thankful for my teachers that try to help me learn new things to succeed in life.   I am thankful for the army who gives up a lot of things like staying with their family just to make us safe. I am grateful for medical workers because they give up time from their families to help others who are hurt. They work on holidays and days ...

Since I was little I had always loved pumpkin pie. One day when I wasn't doing much, I got bored and I decided to make some pumpkin pie. I looked for pumpkin pie recipes and found one easy one. I found it easy because I had all the ingredients to make it. I used many things that I don't remember right now (blame my terrible memory). When I finally put it in the oven I looked  around and saw what a mess I had made in the kitchen. When the pie was done, I took it out and saw that one side of it was burned. When I gave it to my parents and brother anyway, my parents said that it was good and my brother said that it was terrible. I think my parents were just trying to make me feel better because when I tried it I thought it was terrible.
