Reflections

The theme for Reflections this year was "Wow". Kellie wrote a short story and entered it in the Literature. She advanced to the 2nd round, and we went to the awards ceremony last night. At Eastlake she won a cute necklace/dog tag award with her name on it and last night they handed out pins that said Wow on it and participation awards to all those not moving on. We were a bit disappointed that out of about 70-80 winners in 6-7 schools that not one winner came from Eastlake, very few from Monte Vista also. But it was fun to see how excited all the winners were and see what categories she can enter next year. This is Kellie's story.

Fly

By Kellie Elmen

I never knew my brother could fly, but when he puts on his cleats, shoulder pads and helmet and they give him a football, anything is possible. I'm one of his cheerleaders and it's my job to help him fly. When you believe in him, he can succeed. When we cheer him on he gets proud of himself and believes he can do anything if he sets his mind to it. So I believe he can do anything, no matter what.

We all have something that makes us believe we can do anything like my brother.

Mine is cheer, what is yours??
