5 c a p i t a l i z a t i o n 1 A Special Afternoon November 6, 2011 Dear Journal, Today, my Mom and Dad took me to meet governor Marcus Christopher. The Governor was speaking at our convention center. We met aunt Rose and uncle Derek in the lobby. My aunt and Uncle followed mom and me to our seats. My Father said that he would meet us later. He waved to reverend Dawson, who was standing at a side door. Then, he hurried off to join him. I was so proud when I saw dad on the stage. He introduced the Reverend first. Then, he introduced mayor Benitez. The Mayor introduced the Governor. After the program, dad personally introduced us to all of them. It was a very special afternoon. Errors: Make Uppercase: 8; Make Lowercase: 8 2 The Graduation Ceremony Last June, my whole family attended my older Brother s graduation. It was almost like a family reunion. When my Grandmother arrived from Toronto, mom and I picked her up at the airport. Uncle Taron and aunt Ruth came in their car. They brought Jeff, my Cousin. The night before the ceremony, dad drove to Williamston to pick up grandpa. The event was held on the football field. The guest speakers included coach Warren, mayor Chesterfield, governor Kirkpatrick, and rabbi T. S. Monroe. My little Sister fell asleep in the middle of dean Shelby s introduction. My favorite part of the ceremony was when principal Ryan congratulated the class and the graduates tossed their caps into the air. That night, my Mother drove us to a Chinese restaurant in a rented van. My Uncle gave my Brother a watch that had once belonged to our Great-Grandfather.
