My favorite thing about band is being with friends. I love being able to play some old school songs like Hymn of remembrance with my amazing friends.  We can play alot of things right now and I love that now I can play songs that people will actually realize what we are playing and there is alot of up beat songs now.

It’s hard to overcome a Fear

Kennedy Heyboer

Overcoming a fear  is difficult. When my parents tell us that it’s time to go to bed to be completley honest some people might not go right to bed because they’re always afraid that someone’s going to kidnap them, or do something scary to them. I regret sleeping down stairs but now I’m actually happy that I share a bedroom because I’m not afraid as much becuase there’s someone else down in my bedroom with me at night.

The most important reason that parents need to understand is the fact   that kids should not switich bedrooms in levels of their house. Today I wish that I was younger again becuase then I didn’t really get that thought in my head that something creepy could be down stairs at night.

But, because I’m older now I actually get that thought in my head that something scary could be standing down stairs at night.

For instance when I was younger I never in my life thought I would have a fear that hard  to try to overcome but, after moving bedrooms I never thought that I would need to add another fear to my list and have to try to overcome that fear as well.

When I was younger I never really got the thought in my head that my neighbors black cat with yellow eyes would be staniding down stairs around the corner. But, when I got older I actually understood that my neighbors black cat can be standing down stairs around the corner.

Now, when I get told to go to bed every single time I wait for my sister Jaylyn at the top of the stairs (to go down stairs). Jaylyn always gets scared to go down too. So, the only way neither of us get scared is if we go down stairs together. I am afraid that when I go down stairs at night my neighbor’s black cat will put his teeth out, bite me, or claw me.

Sometimes before I go down stairs I look to see if my neighbor’s cat is on their deck so that I know that their cat won’t be standing down stairs around the corner.

But when I get home from school and I go downstairs to put my stuff away I’m not afraid that their cat’s big frightful yellow eyes will be down stairs because it’s light out, not dark out and gloomy. But right when I get home from school I hear a voice saying “Put your stuff away, wash your hands, and then you can go play outside.” I never want to. I always want to play, not put my stuff away. If I put my school stuff away at night I won’t want to go down stairs and put my stuff away becuase I’m not going to want to go down stairs becuause it will be dark out by that time.

My sister Jaylyn has a relative fear to mine. Jaylyn doesn’t like sleeping in the dark so she always needs a night light to sleep but I am afraid to go downstairs at night because I think something scary would be down there.

We both are afraid of it being dark some how. A lot of times I ask Jaylyn, “Can I take out the night light? It’s too bright” But she always tells me “NO!” I know that if I take it out she wouldn’t be able to sleep and then in the morning she wouldn’t get ready for school and she would be late for school. But if it’s in I can still get to sleep except if the night light was out I could get to sleep better.

That is why parents should understand that if you start sleeping in one spot of the house then you should stay in that one part of your house to sleep. If you start up stairs but then your parents tell you to go down stairs to sleep you would be scared that something scary would be down there and you wouldn’t want to ever go to sleep. That’s why parents need to understand if you start sleeping up stairs then you keep sleeping down stairs.

Today, yesturday, one week ago, and one month ago I have overcome the fear of going down stairs in the dark knowing that my neighbor’s cat won’t be standing down there by the corner of the steps.

I still don’t understand why parents won’t get the consept of if you start sleeping in one level of your house when you’re younger then you should stay in that level of the house when you’re older so that you don’t add another fear to your list.

Early in the morning I feel overwhelmed that I overcame my fear because I got a good night of sleep, in my warm bed downstairs.

After all I realized, that you can pray to God about anything and he will help you and guide you because that’s how I overcame my fear.

So do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am you God for I will strengthen you and help you and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

He said to them go out into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved but whoever does not believe will be saved.

Matthew 15:15-16

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny yet not one of them fall to the ground apart from the will of your father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid for you are worth more then many sparrows.

Matthew 10:29-31

If I could change my name it would probably be Lizzie

I don’t know why but when I was younger I have liked that name and I still do now.

Lizzie means…

“my God is an oath, pledged to God”.

Right now my name is Kennedy and it means

“Helmet head”

To me Easter means…

1.That Jesus died on the cross to save our sins and that he died on the cross to shed his blood for us.

2. That Jesus loves and cares for us and so that’s why he took his life and gave it up for us so that we could live with a good life and not sin so  much.

3.That on Easter we should take time to thank God what he did for us and how wonderful that is to us because other wise life would not be this good if he didn’t do that for us so on  Easter we should reflect on how he shed his blood and died on the cross to save our sins.

Over Spring Break I had a lot of fun even though I didn’t go any where on vacation.

I’ll first tell you a little bit about the good part…

Over Spring Break I hanged out with Family and Friends so that made it a LOT of fun! My friends are always their for me and my family is also always their for me.

The Bad part was that I didn’t get to go any where for Spring Break and usually we go on vacation to Florida.

The Ugly part was that it was rainy some days and not all the days were nice and warm but at least their was some sun to enjoy on some days!

Here is what I did on my Spring Break…

On Friday I didn’t do anything I only sat home and enjoyed not having school!

Saturday- I  also sat home  and enjoyed hanging out with my family!

Sunday- I went to Church  in the morning and then I relaxed the rest of the day!

Monday- I played out side with my neighbors and had fun with them all day!

Tuesday- I went to a friends house for the day and then we got frozen yogurt   (YUM!!)

Wednesday- I stayed home in the after noon and then after supper my family and I went out for Supper at Chilli’s and then after went to craigs Cruizers in Grand Rapids and then we went to get Frozen Yogurt again!

Thursday- I stayed home all day playing with my neighbors and got a little burt and enjoyed the outdoors! and at the end o the day after supper My dad,sister, and me all went to pick up my sister from college.

Friday- I was playing  outside all day and then having fun with my family!

That was my Spring Vacation and even though we didn’t go any where besides staying home I had  A LOT of fun!

These are some of the things that I am hoping for on spring break…

1. First I really want it to be warm out so that I don’t have to wear big fat coats and warm clothes but instead I really want to be able to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts.
I also want it to be warm so that we can take the cover off our pool so we can go swimming and enjoy the water.

2. Second I really want to hang out with friends cause I will miss them a lot and I love hanging out with them because they are always right there by my side and they never leave me! I am so grateful for them and I wouldn’t be this happy with out them!

3. I want to go to Florida because it will be really nice their and my family hasn’t gone yet this year because my sisters spring break is different their our Spring Break.

In Science we made Roller Coasters with our Science groups and my group was Jaclyn,Jonathan,Matthew,and I.

Our roller coaster went well because we all used Teamwork.

We started our Roller Coaster on cupboard and then we curved it around a bin and at the end we had a loop and then it ended on the other side of the desk.

Here is a picture of our Roller Coaster and my team members by our roller coaster…

The materials we used were Foam pipe insulation, tape, marble, and paper rolls.

The marble were the people in the Roller Coaster.
The Foam pipe insulation was the track of the Roller Coaster.
The tape helped tape the two foam pipe insulation stick together.

The 2 most important things that made the Revolutionary war so important is that the Boston massacre was found/started in 1770. The thing that was important/happened was that British
soldiers fired at Colonists and then 5 were killed when they fired.

The First Continental Congress.. It was founded/started in 1774
