The thing is, she does, though and has received very good grades in college. She is outgoing and doesn’t mind talking to people. I am the academic child of the three. You could say I was the one “born smart.” I work hard and am organized. I know what I need to do and am able to get things done efficiently and on time when I need to do so. However, because of our nurture, there are several things we have in common. Each of us is a good swimmer and love the beach because our family goes several times during the summer and we have a pool. It was something we always did and do. We all three love animals. Our family has had multiple dogs and cats as we grew up and both parents have instilled a love of animals in us. All three of us have been cheerleaders in high school.

Although one might think the Fitzgeralds would have another child to replace the one they may lose, their plan is to use the child to keep Kate alive.

I chose my sister to play an extra because she has been an extra in a lot of shows. In the book it says “. . . as he watched complete strangers file in and choose their seats” (Michaelsen 35).

I was working on Naval Air Station North Island at a placed called FRC Southwest at the time. The day after she arrived for her visit, she woke up at 5:00 a.m., groomed herself, ate a small breakfast and met me in my car at 6:15 a.m. to go to work with me.

I don’t even have my cellphone to talk to anyone or to go on Facebook and Instagram right now because it’s broken, so I think I’ll pass on staying home by myself and being lonely.” I thought to myself how I would love to sit in a quiet house by myself for once just to relax and let the time pass and to have a moment of solitude.
