  on the Fourth of July. We always have spicy,

  yearly request is golden corn on the cob dripping
  with butter. My dad must have creamy potato
  salad. However, my favorite item comes at the
  end of the mealjuicy, red watermelon. Yes, the
  Fourth of July meal is the best.

Paragraph Three The BANGO Next, it is
always fun when my family gets together on the
Fourth of July. Each holiday my uncles and aunts
bring their families to our house. In the morning
we usually go swimming in the lake behind our
house or ride horses through the pasture.
Afterwards, we have a big picnic with the whole
family. Then my cousins and I get together for a
game of baseball in the front yard. My family has
a great time when we are all together.

Paragraph Four The BONGO

• Finally, I love to watch fireworks on the
  Fourth of July. At night all of my family go
  downtown to the citys annual fireworks display.
  We spread blankets on the cool grass and lie down
  facing the starry sky. Suddenly the night is
  filled with glory. Fingers of color explode
  overhead. Great booms and pops fill the night. We
  all watch in amazement at the beautiful sight.
  The fireworks are a great ending to a perfect day.

  choose from.

24

• Animals are getting beaten for no reason, they
  arent getting feed, and theyre being left
  behind to die. I want to become a vet so I can
  take care of animals that have gone through pain
  and suffering.
• The first thing is animals are getting beaten
  because their owners dont care about them.
• Second, the owners of the animals are too lazy or
  cheap to buy them food.
• Last but not least, owners forget about their
  animals and just leave them chained up to die.

25

• I hope that my future career is a nurse because I
  like to help people, you can make a difference,
  and you get to talk to a lot of different people.
• First of all, being a nurse means you get to
  help people get better.
• Next is that you could brighten up someones day
  by being the only person that might be nice to
  them that day.
• Lastly, you get to talk to people that otherwise
  you might not get to talk to.

  because I would like to take care of people, help
  them out at their worst, and make sure they pass
  away peacefully.

• The next reason is because I want to help anyone
  who is at their worst, when they can no longer do
  things on their own.
• Last, I dont want any of my patients to pass
  away sad or hurt.

29

• For my future career, I have several different
  options like maybe a civil engineer, a computer
  software designer, or maybe a career in the
