Writing in a Personal Journal
Writing in a personal journal helps you live life twice. You get to write about . . .
- funny animals on the walk to school,
- exciting adventures with family and friends,
- secret hopes and dreams for your future, and
- favorite foods, silly jokes, close calls—everything!
Write about the people you love.
John loved to talk with his Grandpa Frank. His favorite story was when Grandpa saw a UFO! John wrote about the experience and what he hoped might happen.
July 13
Grandpa told me that he and his buddies were driving back from working at Caterpillar late one night when he said, “Pull over!” They piled out of the car and looked up. A whole string of lights were gliding overhead. Everybody saw them. Then the lights stopped. They just hung there, looking down. Suddenly they faded away. Grandpa believes in aliens, and I do, too. I hope they’re friendly. I’d like to ride to their planet!
