Chloe

I am so proud of Chloe. She received her Young Womanhood Recognition yesterday in Sacrament Meeting. This award is equivalent to the Eagle Scout award that Scott is working towards. She performed at least 100 service hours to earn this.

Chloe had to write a poem about herself for an English assignment last week.

I love it...it is so her!

Chloe was a typical girl,
With a typical life in a typical world.
Sweatpants and T-shirts were her style,
But she liked to dress up once in a while.
She loved to buy cute clothes like skirts,
Skinny jeans, scarves, and lots of shirts.
She wore her converse all the time.
They were the comfiest shoes she could find.
Her hair was straight and long.
The color of it was golden blonde.
Her style could be considered chic,
But she also had a runner’s physique.
She was skinny but strong,
And could run all day long.
She did the best she could to be
Healthy and strong, you see.
In order to be quick and fast,
She thought about all the girls she wanted to pass.
But winning wasn’t always the test.
She just tried to do her absolute best.
She was 17, but remember,
She would turn 18 in December.
She lived with her parents, Rance and LaDawn,
But after she graduated, she would be long gone.
Her dream was to attend BYU,
And to get accepted was all that was left to do.
She loved her family, don’t get me wrong.
She just wanted to get out- to sing a new song.
She was tired of everything being the same.
It seemed like BYU was calling her name.
She would miss her family and friends a lot.
Especially her twin brother named Scott.
She hoped Scott made it into BYU too.
If he didn’t, she didn’t know what she would do.
She would miss her sister, Sophi, so much.
Laughing, talking, telling jokes, and such.
There were so many people she would miss.
If she wrote them all down, it would be a long list.
She had a lot of very close friends.
With whom their friendship would never end.
Taylor and Sara were her best friends from school.
They were fun to be around, and really cool.
The three would always laugh til they barely could stand,
But half of their jokes, only they could understand.
They had been best friends since freshman year,
And they would be friends forever, it was clear.
Chloe had a lot of church friends too.
With Katie, Megan, and Sarah, there was always fun stuff to do.
All of her friends were really great,
But she also had lots of friends in different states.
Her best friend, Ryan, lived in California, you see.
She also had a bunch of friends in Utah, where she wanted to be.
She was a very friendly girl, as you can tell.
Making friends was something she did well.
Most of her friends she didn’t get to see much.
So she texted them in order to keep in touch.
Of course, she never texted during school.
She would never dream of breaking the rules.
She didn’t speak with proper English all the time,
But compared to some, her English was fine.
Chloe hardly ever got in trouble.
With her parents, punishment was usually double.
From an early age, they taught her right from wrong.
She would remember these lessons her whole life long.
It shaped the girl she is today,
How she acts in different ways.
She is strong in her belief in God and church,
In Jesus, and how much she was worth.
She believed that helping others was the key.
Service truly does make you happy.
In the future, she would like to be
A teacher for autistic kids and the needy.
She can’t wait to grow up and be on her own,
To look back and see how much she has grown.
But right now, she’s going to enjoy being young.
Hang out and have fun until high school is done.
She doesn’t do drugs and she doesn’t drink.
She honestly doesn’t care what others think.
She’s always laughing and having a good time with friends.
This is Chloe. The end!
