My first C4K assignment was to a young girl in the 7th grade. She was talking about a presentation she went to that was held by three or four authors of children's books. She absolutely loved this experience and was very excited about the opportunity. I told her that I myself am an aspiring writer and this would have been a treat for me to attend. She posted a picture of the authors and even talked about the one that was her favorite because she was funny and had nice things to say.
My second C4K experience was somewhat of a strange one. The "child's" name was, and I quote, "grandma". I was a bit confused if this was an actual kid's blog or some joke. So, I just decided to respond to "grandma's" most recent post. The most recent stated, "I like pancakes." So, I just said what came to mind. I asked what kind of pancakes they liked. I told them that I love pancakes myself. Then, I responded with a question: "Why pancakes? Why not waffles? Is there something wrong with waffles? Why not bacon?" In conclusion, this was a very humorous and somewhat odd situation but I made the best of it.
My final comment for September was a young man named Travis. He is in the 4th grade and is very grumpy about it. He says that he does not like how the lunch is run and that you can't sit by your friends. He also said the same thing about the football games and would rather sit by his friends than his parents. The most baffling statement from him was that he was upset that he has had to bring homework home a couple times.... I guess "home" work hasn't hit "home" with him. Nonetheless, I responded with some words of wisdom that in the future of middle and high school he will have to take homework home all the time. I told him that I am in college and that I take homework home all the time and even do it at school too. I wished him the best of luck and I hope he enjoys his year better because it will fly by!
