What I Used To Believe


When i was younger I believed in Santa clause. I also believed in the tooth fairy. I was also scared of the dark.
I was about 7 when I realized Santa clause was not real. No one told me, I just one day realized that my step father went out every night. before Christmas and came back with presents from "Santa". I learned that Santa clause was jut a legend. There really was a "Santa clause " but he lived centuries ago. His name was Nicholas and he gave presents to poor people in a village. So he was given the name saint Nicholas witch sounds like Santa clause when you say it the "Latin" way.
I also believed in the tooth fairy until I was seven.I realized that is was my mother that put a quarter under my pillow every time I lost a tooth. My mother actually told me about this. One day i lost a tooth and my mother said the tooth fairy doesn't have a quarter for you today because the tooth fairy has to pay rent. Well I started asking questions and she told me it was her putting quarters under My pillow every night after I lost a tooth. I wish she hadn't I would still be getting quarters.
I don't know how I was scared of the dark but i was. I remember one time I had my bike in my room and some clothes on it. I saw the it in the dark room and it looked like a monster, so I called my mom and she turned on the lights. It was just the clothes that i left on the bike. I guess that's one of those things you grow out of.
Now My little sister believes in these things. things that i have grown to old to believe. I can't imagine how I believed these silly things.

Javon, I am so proud of you! You are missing the Nicaragua essay, my mission-my vision-my legacy essay, and the extra credit essay if you so choose. Each post must have at least 1 picture. You need to complete and move your profile to the top of the sidebar where it should always stay. Then you have the movie and slideshow. Everything needs to be done by next week.
