Blog

I told ya’ll I’d be back, here I am. Since toady is Memorial Day, I’d talk about my military family. My Great Grandfather died in the navy, and my Grandpa was in WII and the Korean War. Also, I thought Id talk about what I did last week/weekend. I went with my friend Faith to the fair near the mall parking lot. Also today, me, mom, and dad went to the zoo. That is my blog for today

Week 34

I can’t believe this is going to be my last blog post…at school, i will still post at my house. First, we are almost finished with the movie “Gifted” we are on scene 4 of our movie. Then, we sold Lucas bands for a kid in our school who has cancer. (I will post the commercial along with the movie today next week) And today, we will have a health talk and the q and u wedding, and the 4th grade talent show, and the teachers vs. students basketball game. That is what I did on my 34th week of school.

Grandma: What you just saw was me using my healing power.

Emrika: Oh, your healing power. Wait…your healing power?

Grandma: Our family has the ability to heal. It goes back to our great ancestors who came from France.

Liam: Wait…our family has healing power. I’m counfused.

Grandma: Your family name Garrison. When you translate that to French it comes out to guérisseur. Guérisseur means healer.

Liam: So we all have healing powers.

Emrika: Grandma, I’m pretty sure I can’t heal people.

Grandma: Not yet because you are not ready yet.

Emrika: I am responsible!

Grandma: But sweetie, your only 10.

Liam: So does that mean I get the power?

Grandma: This is why your mother and I argue. You are too little to understand it.

All: sigh.

Grandma: The party I told you not to go to! Looks like your not gonna get the gift.

Liam: No…No wait!

Grandma: Sorry, but looks like Emrika is gonna get it, because she was responsible at the dinner party and acted like a young lady.

Liam: I just don’t get it.

Grandma: Go home Liam. Just come home.

 

Scene 4

(grandma and Emrika working on the gift)

Grandma: Try again.

Emrika: I can’t! It’s too hard.

Grandma: Concentrate. You have to feel it from deep in your bones.

(Emrika tries and fails. Gets mad and leaves)

Grandma: Erika, come back. It just takes time.

Liam: She’s too little. Let me try.

Grandma: I don’t give the gift. It finds you when you are ready. Maybe She isn’t ready.

Liam: If mom was here, she would give it to me. (runs off)

Grandma: (whispers to herself) He’s right. Where is she?

(Emrika and friend playing in yard with neighbor’s dog)

Emrika: Come here boy. Good job. (throws stick)

Penelope: My turn. Here boy, fetch!

Emrika: I wish I had a dog.

Penelope: Me too.

Emrika: Watch this. Go long, Fido. (throws stick and it bounces into the street) No! Fido stay!

(dog gets hit by a car)

Penelope: He got hit by a car.

Emrika: Oh no. Give him to me.

Penelope: His breath is slowing down. It’s ok Fido.

(Grandma hears girls yelling. Is about to go out the door but stops. Looks out the window.)

Grandma: Dig deep Emrika. Believe…believe…

Emrika: Penelope. Go inside and call 911.

Penelope: Ok, I’ll go fast.

(Waits for Penelope to leave)

Emrika: (talking to herself) I can do this. Dig deep…breathe…breathe. (places hands on Fido and breathes. hands become warm. startles her but she keeps going) Dig deep…breathe…breathe…focus.

(dog pops up)

Emrika: Fido!

Grandma: Penelope, hang the phone up. No need to call 911. The dog is ok.

(dinner time and no one is talking)

Liam: Ok, is anyone going to talk about what happened today? I mean…anyone?

Grandma: I’m proud of you, Emrika. Were you scared?

Emrika: At first but I just remembered what you told me. I didn’t try to force it but let it come.

Liam: I’m proud of you too little sis.

Emrika: (hugs him) That means so much to me. I thought you would be mad.

Liam: No, I’m mad at myself. I’ve let my emotions keep me from reaching my full potential. It’s time to let the past be the past.

(next morning walking to school)

Emrika: You were really proud of me?

Liam: Yes, I am. Yes, a little jealous but proud.

Emrika: Grandma is right you know. The gift has to find you.

(gets cutoff because a electric worker gets knocked unconscious)

Liam: Emrika! Help him!

Emrika: Come on!

(Emrika and Liam roll over the worker, check, pulse, and feel for breathing)

Liam: He isn’t breathing, Emrika! Hurry!

Emrika: (places hands on him) Dig deep…breathe…breathe

Liam: Hurry!

Emrika: It’s not working. I don’t feel it. It is not the same. I can’t. It won’t work. Yell for Grandma!

Liam: (looks over to call for Grandma and sees mother in the background) (whispers to himself) Mom? (Mom nods yes) Let me try. (Liam turns around and places hands on the worker) Dig deep…breathe…breathe..focus. (hands become warm) Dig deep…breathe…breathe..focus. (worker wakes up coughing)

Emrika: You did it! Liam, you did it!

Liam: Wow! I guess I did. Emrika, I saw mom. She was right over (turns and points but she is gone) there.

Grandma: I’m proud of you, Liam. I knew it would find you.

Liam: Thank you, Grandma.

Emrika: I proud too of my big brother.

Liam: Thank you, Emrika. (in a sad tone)

Emrika: What’s wrong?

Week 34

I had an amazing 34th week of school. First, we went on a feild trip to KARM, we meet Mrs. Dorris, toured the homeless facility, and went to the thrift store to sort clothes. (comment below if you’ve been to the homeless facility or the thrift store, or both) Next, we had electronic day at school in the library, I Minecraft and Five Nights at Freddy’s 3. Next, we started to film the movie gifted (I will post the script, I am Liam btw) and last,  we only have 9 and a half days left. That was my 34th week of school.
