Hero in Hadi

Ellie attended K-8th grade at the same school. Now, no longer attending there, they sent her writing samples from 1st through 6th grades that were in her files. I thought I would share her story from the beginning of fourth grade that asked her to imagine that she had discovered a special power and describe how she would save the day.

"Beep! Beep! Time to exit the plane. Yes!! I thot that we would never ever be on land again.  I said as my stumick smeemed to gag. I walked off the plane.  Hadi was a wreek! All the other group seemed as suprised as I was.  The leader told us to start helping. First, we started helping people's broken places.  When I touched thir skin it healed!! This made my job easy.  I helped the sick and hurt.  It was cool helping people. Next we fead people. We made houses too! After days it was time to go. I was happy to help them. Bye! Bye! I yelled."


Ellie left "Hadi" yesterday to enjoy some summertime in Arizona with family and friends, four years after she wrote her story. She had the opportunity to do everything that she wrote about except "make houses," and she was happy to do it.
