Havasupai was one of the best places I have ever been to!  This trip showed me discipline and that I can do anything if I try hard.  I admit, it was not a piece of cake.  But I can achieve anything with hard work. Once I got to the village, I felt pretty good.  We ate lunch and talked to people.  But then we had to go two more miles.  I made it to the campground, then I saw one of the beautifulest waterfalls ever (Havasu Falls).  I took a nap then got to see another fall (Mooney Falls). I woke up with lots of caterpillars everywhere.  I wouldn't have gone if I knew they would be everywhere.  We finished the hike to the falls then set off to see another fall.  We saw the beautiful fall and made it to the village. #biggestlunchever!  It wasn't till dark that we made it to the car. It was a long and hard eight miles back but I made it.  Next time we have another big hike I can make it 20 miles a day!

My petsitting (business) is amazing.  Once I heard about this dog business I really wanted to be a part of it.  I love animals.  They make me feel happy inside.  After my World Tour, I want to get a pet. Having a pet gets you ready for life.  It affects your life and your love.  It will love you and you will love it.  You will be friends forever. The hard thing is you never really know where they're going to pee, poo or throw up.  So, you're going to have to train it.  This is very, very hard.  The first dog we had did all of the above.  My second dog Lefty was better.  Although taking care of him is a mess, I still love my job and I intend to follow my dreams.

I chose running because I wanted to be an athlete like my Mom.  She inspires me with her confidence and work.  She shows me awesomeness and working hard will make a great person.  I want some of that. What I like about "Mile with Mimi" is that you can stop when you want to and push yourself forward when you can.  It is hard to push forward.  It is hard to keep going.  I KNOW I'll get better.  It takes a lot of guts to run, but it's all in your head.  You choose if you want to keep going. Running is hard for me.  I stop, it pains me.  I miss a few days because I am scared.  I normally get back up but it is getting harder.  It is hard not to stop six times in just a mile!  Today is October 10, 2017 and I am choosing right now to push myself harder.

I wake up at 7:15.  My day is a good start.  I first take a shower.  Then, take Lefty on a walk.  P.S. I didn't eat breakfast because of Fast Sunday.  I fasted for Mrs. Johnson, our school librarian.  We are now at church and I sit next to my cousins.  The rest was BORING!  That is because everybody was gone on Fall Break.  I find myself watching a movie and fighting a lot with Andrew, aka Max.  I've been here from 12 to 5:30 and it is quite BORING! Come back to blogging now.  I don't know what happens now because it is 6:40.  I am now watching another movie, Moses.
