Emily's life was anything but normal. Even tho she she had a couple of good laughs with her friend doing some pranks and going down to the pier, she knew she could never be normal. It all started half a year ago when she was listening to music while working on a school project.
while Emily was doing her social studies project she started to get thirsty. She crept down the stairs and reached for a coke, but something was wrong... when she lifted up her hand the coke floated into the air a couple inches and when she pulled her hand back the,drink floated toward her. Emily thought for a minute, then she popped up her thumb and the can opened. She held her hand out like a policeman directing traffic and reached forward very carefully,grabbed it and then took a sip. After that she promised herself never to tell any one.
that morning Emily woke up to a grey colored sky. Looking out to a field of stormy weather and grief.
To be continued...

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
