Journal entry #1 (a girl in training)

This is a young girl named is Brennan Mavs. She is 13 years old, and just got her assignment.

Today when I got home, my mom was home, but my dad was still at work, sometimes he works late. I just got finished eating dinner, and we had spaghetti. My little sister is still young, so she was playing with her food and making a mess as always. It’s weird, because today my sister came into the pool to learn how to swim, and I was with a swim instructor teaching her how to swim. She actually did pretty well, I think that she likes swimming, and might one day be a swim instructor also, she is also very patient. It is almost her bedtime, she is off to bed and so soon after all the noise will go away and I can get some more of my homework done with more focus and concentration. Tomorrow morning I have to get up at 6:40 a.m. to go to school, and I will get out of school at 3:00 p.m. and then I go to the pool for my training at 3:30pm. like every other day, I’m starting to get used to it, and get into a routine. I love all the swim instructors, they are all so nice and patient with me. Just like I am patient with all the little ones that come in and have to learn how to swim, I think that it is a personality trait that all instructors must have. Today was kind of long, but I got through it, I’m glad that it is over, It’s hard being in and out of the water all day long, but it is something that I love to do.

Journal Entry #2 ( a five year old )

This is a young girl named Rylie Rucus. She is 5 years old and has just received her first letter.

At school today my teacher, Mrs. Testa, asked me to get out my homework and when I did she told me it was beautiful and then...SHE GAVE ME A GOLD STAR!!!! Mrs. Testa rarely gives anyone a gold star! That made me feel super happy. She even hung up my homework on the star work board, I couldn't believe it!!!

When I got home from school today, I told my mom about my gold star and she gave a big hug, told me she was very proud of me, and she gave me a popsicle! Today was GREAT!!!!!!!

Journal Entry #3 (an elder)

This is an elder named Marine Beloves. She is 60 years old, and lives in the old nursing home.

I can’t believe that I am going to turn 60. Tomorrow morning when I awake the committee will be here to restrain my license and pick up my boat. I am truly shocked that I am already having to move into the nursing home. Tomorrow when I pack up all my belongings, I hope to remain happy. Another thing I am going to have to do is resign from my job which is a value that I truly cherish, and hope to never forget all the good times I had with all the little ones at the adoption center. My life has been incredible in this community and I really hope that in the nursing home that continues. I am a little nervous right now, but I know it will all be okay because this community is very friendly and heart-warming.  Although I am going to have to change my way of living, I know that I have a lot of stuff to look forward to. Some of my friends that have already moved into the nursing home say it is a lot of fun. According to them we get to play a lot of games such as bunco, bingo, and shuffleboard. I look forward to playing these games and learning a new lifestyle.

Script for Perfect Community Commercial

Kalyn: Hello, and welcome to our community! As you know, every community has its ups and downs, along with there problems and solutions. But not here, because in our community everything is perfect in Letterland. Now my assistant Avery will show you around and help you get to know our communities great qualities.

Avery: As mentioned before, our community is perfect. So when you go to other towns you will see problems such as people being sloppy, messy, and dirty. But if you move over here with us, you won't have to deal with any problems like this....

Camera #1: Camera turns to Jacob and Max littering and making a mess.

Kalyn: Now another problem with other towns is that everything is just so loud and very noisy.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Avery: But all you have to do is move over with us so there are no more people being just plain annoying.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Camera #2: camera goes to Jacob and Max spinning in cirlces outside screaming with Danae getting bothered by showing an annoyed face on her.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Kalyn: Now isn't that just terrible? But there is a solution! Our community is so perfect that there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Avery: As you saw, things were very distracting and uncumfortable for that poor young lady.But if you pay close attention to what we are telling you, you should realize that you should move to our community and that it would be the right place to be.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Kalyn: One thing that really bugs me is people that just aren't helpful. In other communities, some people could just care less about helping others. And as you see here, as I said, people could just care less.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Camera #3: Camera goes to Danae carrying a bag of things and drops it right in front of Jacob and Max while they are walking and talking. Jacob and Max just walk past Danae without helping her pick up her things thatshe dropped.

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Danae: Please join us in our community, and enroll now so you can become part of a perfect place to live in! So now you can go from this...
