A Description of a Favorite Family Member

My favorite family member is my mom. We live in Winton and there is not that much in Winton as you know. There are a lot of kids there that are getting into a lot of trouble because there is nothing for them to do to stay out of trouble. This is where my mom volunteers to do the Winton football which is where kids from the ages of 7 to 13 can play. They play there home games and practices at the Winton middle school. We have a football Field there with stands and a concession stand there are bathrooms there on the backside of the stand. It is a pretty well nice put together area. The baseball programs is from the age of 5 to 16. They have the games and the practice at the Winton Park. Here we have a concession stand and two Fields to play on. There are bathrooms up on the hill there. This is a well place to be at it can be kept better but we have been cleaning it up for the last couple of years now that my mom has found more people in the community to help us so it has been looking better. So that there is something for the kids to do. So that they are not getting into any trouble. At least trying to keep them out of trouble. My mother got women of the year for Winton a couple of years ago because of how much she does in the community. She is the biggest hero that I have.

My Classmate and Me

What do you have in common with any of your classmates. Or do you even have anything in common with them. Well I do My classmate Bertha and I both went to Atwater high school and graduated and went all four years at Atwater High. We both live in Winton and have lived in Winton for about our whole lives. Both of us have been attending Merced College for 2 semesters. We have really enjoyed the time we have had here at Merced College. Bertha lives on her own now. She really likes it. She really enjoys not having her parents to tell her what she has to do. She is going to college to become a Social Worker. She thinks that it would be a lot of fun to be a Social Worker. Something new and very exiting for her. She hates to see little kids that need help or anything. She doesn't want to see them leaving with something that they may need cloths, food. Now she will be able to help them with what ever they will be needing in any way that she can. No matter what it takes because that is what she has always wanted to do. That is the history and me and my classmate.
