Looking back at everything
that we
accomplished Sarah and I realized that together
we went through our ups
and downs and finally passed the finish line to our
goal. We ran the
race together, crashing and falling behind and then speeding up and
flying past everyone else, but together we passed the finish line, and
together we helped a lot of people. Just like our slogan said 'People
are always saying someone should do something about that,
what
they should be saying is I should do something about that, we are!' We
were going to, we were, we did,
In the beginning, Sarah and I were going on a good slow pace, nnot really doing much but it was the beginning of the race to come. Soon we panicked, everyone was far ahead of us, we were too slow and needed to pick up our pace. Sarah and I were stressed, no hours, no nothing. Finally we dived into the race and we started to get ready for our bake sales. The first one was a big one, we had to bake right before the dance so that everything would still be fresh. Some people were willing to to help us bake and we thank them for it, it helped a lot. The first one Sarah and I got a little bored, we were in the race, experiencing action, but then again... not. Seconds passed, minutes passed, hours passed and it wasn't like any customers came. However we survived and our next two bake sales were much more interesting and fun. We sold a lot and made most of our money from the bake sale during the Girls's Basketball game. The bake sales during Wednesday were quick and sweet. Little kids came and stampeded to our table and grabbed, stuffed, and yelled to try and get as much food as possible. I was amazed and I think Sarah was too. We stood there for a while until a kid pushed money into my hand and scampered off with a cookie. Much more exciting.
For the dog wash Sarah and I were excited. We both loved dogs, notice the past tense. Those dogs when they found out what they were getting into, "shakeen" claws out. One dog in particular, Daisy was her name, she was so small yet her claws were one of a kind. She clawed at every inch of us that she could get. Trouble trouble, However the rest were all right, if you don't count that fact that they.... 1) clawed us... 2) jumped out at every possible moment they could find..... 3) the got us all WET!!!.......4) they were seriously dirty, you should have seen the BLACK water let me repeat so it sinks in BLACK water. This is NOT dramatic this is facts..... 5) they didn't even thank us. Well, still they all have this charm that lured us back into loving dogs again, after we had cooled down and complained about them to eachother of course.
Thus we finished the race, we still are doing our pen pal program and we really hope it will start soon.
