I am a Honey Bee

My mother, the queen of the colony said this in her usual high pitched voice:" You started in an egg, then became a lava. The lava turned into a pupa, and you came out. You are a worker bee, so when you were in an egg, you spent three days. In the lava, you spent six days, and in the pupa..."

I interrupted, "What does it matter if you are a worker bee or not?" She said "If you are a queen bee you would spend three days in the egg, five days in the lava, and nine days in pupa." She continued, "As I was saying you spend twelve days in a pupa."

I hatched a month ago. I was born on June 4th, 2006. Queen bee hatched thoursands of eggs during the summer. I was one of the bees that the queen hatched. Now, it is July. My mom is still hatching eggs. Today, she hatched nine hundred eggs.

I am going to collect nector. It helps flowers, because there is pollen on the flowers. You see, there are male and female flowers. Pollen sticks to my body and when I fly it goes to other flowers. The powder mixture helps flowers produce seeds to grow more flowers. Here I go "Gulp, gulp, Mmmmm..."

Did I tell you I am a honey bee? Well I am, and my name is Sherald.

Flying Carpet

My flying carpet can take me wherever I want to go. We would have fun wherever we are, even at school. Everyday I get to ride to school with him. He goes zooming by with me. One day, my carpet says "Hey, why don't we go to Disney land? I have the money." So we fly to Disney land and come back one semester later. Mrs. K shouts, "You better catch up by next week or you banned from this school!" The next couple of days I spend my time in my office and my carpet is teaching me. The next three days I catch up on math, science, and history. The next four days I catch up on language, geography, and French. Mrs. K is surprised at how much I know. I get back in school and never miss a minute of school again.

Boogie boarding

One vacation day, my family went to the Beach. We bought a package of shovels, buckets, and other sand toys. We played on the sand with the new stuff we bought. I played in the ocean a bit, but the waves were too big to go swimming. On the way back to our car I saw a boogie board store. I reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally wanted a boogie board. I asked my dad, “Can I have a boogie board?” He said, “No.” I begged, “pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase.” My dad said, “Your sister is sleeping. Tomorrow.” I said sadly, “Ok.”

We went to bed that night. I was excited for the next day. I felt like it was party time when it was sleeping time. I had a dream that I was buying a boogie board. I was about to ride it when I woke up.

The next day went by, we slept in the condo, woke up, and went to the beach. I saw the people with boogie boards. It looked so fun. I imagined myself on a boogie board being pushed by the waves. Instead of being on a boogie board and in the water, I was on my kite in the sand. Chloe was pushing me over the sand bumps. It was fun to relax on the kite. “Ouch.” I bumped into a big sand hill. I looked around. Everybody was staring at me, I quickly got up. Then, I realized my dad was calling to me. He called, “Purple Pear let’s go buy you a boogie board!” I ran and ran, it seemed forever to get there. Finally we got there. I chose a boogie board that had a shark on it. I saw a poster that said, “Boogie board contest on Monday at 7:30pm.” I wanted to go so badly. I asked my dad, “Can I go to the contest?” I pointed to the poster. My dad asked, “Who is hosting it?” I said, “The poster says someone named Chad is hosting it.” He asked, “What is the last name?” I replied “McDonell, Chad McDonell.” My dad said, “That’s my friend’s name! Sure you can go!” I jumped up and shouted, “Yeeeeeeessssssssss!”

I practiced boogie boarding Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and even Monday morning. On Thursday and Friday I kept on getting crashed down by the waves which is frustrating. It was not so frustrating on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, I was real relaxed as I lied down on my boogie board. I thought I was ready so I took a break. Then, I signed up for the contest. I had to wait in line for 36 minutes. I asked the information guy what prize you would get if you won. He had said 1,000 dollars. He told us that you had to get to the shore the fastest to win. I was a bit nervous. We got into our places. The speaker said on your marks, get set, then the horn beeped. Two boys were beating me. I could not let them win. One boy was almost to shore but then I realized I had won and the two boys were just a bit slower than me. I was on shore winning 1,000 dollars. All of my practice was worth it!

We went to Costco right afterwards. I bought pearl earrings there. They were white and rounded and come from oysters. I was looking forward to wearing them. It was the best day of my life.

Who Am I?

I’m clever, kind, athletic, and imaginative.

I play and golf and do gymnastics.

I’m a sister and friend and writer.


I sound like an angel.

I feel like satin.

I move like a cat

And look like Chloe.


I wait to be a good golfer.

I long for a sand wedge.

I hope to be an author.

I dream of becoming very wealthy.


My name is Purple Pear.

Published Poem - "Octobers"

O ctober is the lucky month for a cat who catches a mouse,

C andies we gather from house to house.

T able tennis they play having fun all day,

O ctagon is the shape of a special stingray.

B oys think it's sad that school will start soon,

E lephants think it's happy as there is a crescent moon.

R ivers are starting to freeze,

S o boys and girls can skate until they freeze.
