When I grow up I want to be an engineer. I like working with math and science so I thought that I would be a good fit for that job. I think working for NASA would be pretty cool! Working with a big team of people designing a rocket or some other object would be interesting. I also think that owning my own business would be really fun. I would get to make all the decisions, run the company, and I would make all the MONEY! But if I could do any job in the world I would want to be a pro runner!

One of my best memories ever was on my Cap10k trip in April. Cap10k is a 10000m race in Austin Texas that my cross country team goes on every year. You have to be allowed to train for Cap10 because it is very hard and usually it is only older kids on the team that go. We all drive down to Austin in one team van and we make a lot of memories there. When we get there we go to bed because it is usually very late. The next morning we run along the river. The trails that we run on are really pretty and it's a lot of fun seeing new things. After that we went to play mini golf. I got a score of 44 which I think is good but I don't know. Then the next morning was race day and we all drove down to the course. I started the race off really strong and I stayed with the 3 other of my teammates. The next mile was also good but there was a huge hill we had to overcome which was 1200m long. Then after that mile 3 and 4 just had rolling hills. One of the guys who I was running with dropped and started fading. Then it was just a race to the finish with only 2.2 miles to go. The 2 others started to really start running really fast and I ended up getting 3rd out of my age division. I got 35;44 with a 5;45 pace. I was so happy with myself and the whole van ride I was ecstatic.
My first week at Flower Mound High School went better than expected. I started my week off with cross country. We had an 8 mile run and we ran by Grapevine lake on the trails. We usually run the trails on Saturdays but since we had a race on Saturday coach decided to run on them Monday. Next I had English with Mrs. Kruger. We did MnM writing. Next I had Geography with Mr. Fails. In that class we were assigned our seats. Then we had to tell the class our name, last vacation, and our favorite cereal. Then my class class of the day was theater tech. We went over the class syllabus and expectations. It wasn't all that exiting. After that I went home and took a nap.
