I suggest tape to prevent rolling

I'll add some light to this dreary day but it won't be in the sunshine. This memory takes place in Alabama with my cousins. I forgot the reason we went there because I was a wee child but of what I do remember this was  a fun and exciting night.

While reading this you should keep in mind I am the youngest in my group of cousins. Being that I am the youngest at the time I thought that a PG-13 movie was a huge deal. Naturally the parents needed some "adult" entertainment so they decided to watch Harry Potter. I don't remember which movie was but I do remember it was rated PG-13 and our parents said we couldn't watch it and had to go to sleep.

We had planned to sleep on the balcony that night. The living room was right below it so if we craned our heads we could see the screen. I being on the end, last as always, had a hard time seeing the screen so I decided to talk aimlessly to my cousin Samantha who was not listening. It was a fun night of giggles and smiling. We all ended up falling asleep but the funny part is that my cousin, Mikel, ended up rolling down the stairs in the middle of the night. On the bright side, it was carpeted.

This night taught me the importance of getting enough sleep when you have things to do the next day. PG-13 movies aren't worth staying up to watch, and sleepovers are so much fun.

10 years? I haven't figured out 1

I find it extremely difficult to think about where I will be in ten years considering, I have not even chosen which sports I will be playing in high school. In the span of ten years I hope to finish all the schooling required for a job. I think I will just finish high school. I might even get all my classes out of the way to focus on sports senior year. At this point I believe that I will most likely be doing college though the military. 

Bet your question is, Danielle what are you thinking, what are you going to do in the military? But, a job I'm really interested in doing is being a drill Sargent for the military. I know, I haven't even picked a branch just military. I think this would be a good job for me because I like discipline but I don't like listening to anyone. I will only be instructed by people who obviously know what they're doing more than I do because they got promoted. I come from a line of military background and I'm proud to say that I want to continue that. While that might not happen, it is my hope that this will still be what I want to do when I get older.

I hope that after a few years of deployment, I will have enough training and qualification to find a civilian job. I know that this seems like a lot for just ten years but, ten years is a long time, and a lot of things will probably have changed in ten years.
