When I was 12

 Four years ago I was 12 years-old and I was a pretty average kid. I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary. One thing I can say is that I was in love with Jesse McCartney and I lived for anything disney. As I grew older I soon began to resent Disney but I guess that was just a phase.

Sock Monkey or Real Monkey

 I think a monkey would make a good pet because they are relatives of humans. Monkeys are like family to the entire human race and I think they should be treated as such. Monkeys can be a hand full at times but they are the most interactive and mentally advanced animals would ever encounter. 

Nana

 The oldest person I know is my nana. Nana is 95 years-old and she is very wise. Nana lives in St.Louis, Mo and she is the sweetest person you would ever meet. She likes playing card games and solving word puzzles. I love playing scrabble with her when I go to visit. 

The Words I Feel

 If my parents were to let me paint the walls in my room I would most likely paint a 360 degree painting of my ongoing life. In this painting, I would hide words of how I felt at that point in my life. The painting would have me walking kind of like the evolution picture. 

Lunch With Tyra Banks

 If I could have lunch with any famous person it would definitely be Tyra Banks. During this Tyra and I would probably talk about how she came from Inglewood to being a national supermodel. Tyra, being the nobel person she is would probably tell me a beautiful story about her life and then offer me a modeling gig.

Brats

 I have four sisters and no brothers. My sisters are all very different  and yet all the same. My sister Antanaye loves to be outside and she's extremely social. My sister Anatanaye and I can be totally the same then totally different. My sister Tianna loves playing tennis and singing . Tianna is a quick learner and loves to be the center of attention.My older sister ,Mechelle is very crazy she's very dependent and refers to herself as "Ocean". My sister Kiante is a active college student and is definitely someone to look up to. I think I possess all the qualities of my sisters in one.

Mr.Pandatastic

 If I could have any animal I would choose to have a panda. Pandas are very peaceful and huggable animals, they are very non-confrontational . The reason I would want a panda is because they go against all the stereotypes of an average bear. When you think of a bear you think aggressive, man-eating, killing machines. 
 Panda bears are the complete opposite, they are non-aggressive, vegetarian, and cuddly. Pandas are like the equivalent of a sloth but in bear form. I believe pandas represent inner peace and simplicity and that's why a panda is the perfect animal for me.

My Journey On a Pirate Ship

  I opened my eyes and found myself laying on the ground, it was wet and very cold. My eyes were blurred and I had no recollection of what had happen that night before. My hands were tied behind my back with a very rough and very itchy rope. I tried to get loose but there was no way. At this point I was stuck and extremely  helpless. I didn't really know where I was but from the way the room was swaying I could assume I was on a boat. 
 A door suddenly opened and in walked a man with a long beard and a wooden leg. I knew just from looking at him that I was on a pirate ship. He began to speak " Where's my booty. I know you have it." I seriously didn't understand what he was talking about. He quickly struck my face with an open hand and asked " Why are trying to make me mad." My eyes  filled with tears and could help but cry. I quickly yelled, " I don't know where your booty is and I don't know why I'm here. Just let me go!" The man quickly looked at me and said," You have a lot of nerve Marmy.  Give me my GOLD!". "I don't have your gold!", I said.We began to yell back and forth and suddenly the room began to morph. I opened eyes and I was laying in my bed. It was all a dream. My trip on a pirate ship.

I Wish I Could Sleep

  Since I was very young I've always had a fear of the dark. My fear of the dark has followed me all my life and I'm not sure how to get over it. I'm afraid of the dark because of my fear of evil spirits attacking me in the night. I wake up every-night at 11:44 pm and I feel like the time has some kind of significance in my life. Whenever I wake up at that time I always feel anxious and afraid. I use my television as a way to escape my fear by watching children programs while and before going to sleep. This fear runs deep inside me and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. Sometimes I sit by myself and wonder how life would be when i live by myself and that just makes another branch that this fear. A fear of being alone, so this fear of the dark has made me fear a lot of things and has formed as the person I am today.

WELCOME TO TaCHIA DELIGHTS.

I Couldn't Believe My Eyes

  The clock struck six and my alarm was going off. I turned over and quickly turned off the annoying clock. My eyes were blurred and I couldn't find my glasses, and I look all over my room for them. I suddenly turned towards my pillow and remembered I had placed them under it. I put on my glasses and look towards my window and to me my surprise there was an odd-shaped shadow outside of it. I couldn't help but to quickly pull back the curtains and I couldn't believe my eyes,there was a dinosaur. a real life prehistoric dinosaur. The dinosaur was huge, I think it was a tyrannosaurus.
   The dinosaur looked me directly in the eyes and said " Hi, My name is Amy and I seem to have gotten myself in quite a predicament. Can you please help me?" I looked at her with a very confused face and said, " Amy, where did you come from and what's this predicament you speak of. She looked at me with her deep spiraling green eyes and said," I come from a far away land called Marmalith and I was walking through the forest earlier and fell through the "forbidden" portal. After falling for twenty-five minutes , I landed in this place and my foot has formed a hole in the ground and now my foot is stuck. " I let out a small chuckle and said," Okay, Don't go anywhere I'll be right down." I grabbed my housecoat and quickly ran out the back door. There stood a 9 foot tall dinosaur towering over me, I can honestly say I was so terrified. 
  After a couple minutes of brainstorming I finally came up with a plan to help Amy out of the hole. I decided that I'm going push her over so her foot is freed from the hole. After doing that she was free and she was extremely happy about that.  She looked at me and said," Thank you so much, now I can go home." She made a circle with her fingers that opened up a portal to her land. She walked through the portal,and when she was completely in it shuts and disappeared.  I still can't believe my eyes.

Yummy For Your Tummy

 If I could cook a meal for my family I would cook baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. First I  would season the chicken with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and seasoning salt. Before placing the chicken in the oven I would make sure the oven was preheated at 350 degrees. 
 I would let the chicken cook for an hour and a half. I would then prepare the mashed potatoes by placing them in boiling water for a while. Thirty minutes before the chicken is done I would peel the potatoes and mash them. The potatoes will be seasoned with seasoning salt and pepper. Fresh broccoli will be served with the complete dinner.Thats the meal I would make if I could cook for my family.

So You Think You're Brave?

 It was a warm day at school and everything was going well. I had a small group of friends that consisted of Daisy, Lucilla, Jenae,and me. People would always pick on Lucilla and one day I decided to stick up for her. That was the day when I became really brave. I Told the older kids to leave her alone , they quickly turned towards me and told Lucilla to fight me. She wouldn't fight me so all the gurls decided to jump me. Dido. I thought I was brave and ended up with the short end of the stick.

Money Hungry

One hundred dollars may cross your path , and you may not know what to do with it. If I had one hundred dollars  , I would give it to a homeless child. Homeless children are on the high in America,and money circulates like crazy. America is full of money hungry people and they do whatever it takes to have that money. When it comes to homeless children they're often left in the cold,falling under the budget cuts that are suppose to be for the rich. So sad. I wish I had more to give , but if I had one-hundred dollars I would definitely give it to a homeless child.
