SCHOOL


I enjoyed School when I was in it.

We had Summers off.

June, July and August.

In September after Labor Day 

We went back to School.


In High School I had two favorite classes.

I loved singing and was in a Chorus class.

I also loved French.

I studied French for three years.

I enjoyed these classes very much.


I enjoyed my singing class teacher.

Her name was Chris Khorney.

I enjoyed my French teacher.

His name was Richard Bass.

This was the best part of my life in school.




SHOES


Elvis Presley sang the song: "Blue Suede Shoes."

August 16th is the 47th anniversary of Elvis' death.

I cried that day.

And I cry every day. 

I also loved watching Elvis court Priscilla when he was in the army/


Elvis was the King of Rock n' Roll.

His songs still play on the radio today.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes.

When shopping: Try on another pair of shoes

I love shoes.


High heeled shoes.

Flat shoes.

Fancy shoes.

Designer shoes.

Fashionable shoes.
