Yayyyeee! Eeveelutiongurl, my other account has reached my goal of 70 followers! And I even got 3 bonus points (I got 3 more followers in the week)! My next goal is 80! Then 90, the 100! SQUEEEEE!!!

That's awesome! I remember when I got 70.

I've got a few questions: 1. Grade? 2. Fav animal? 3. Cats or Dogs? 4. Do you miss the holiday season? 5. Here's a riddle: There were 2 children, the son and the daughter. The daughter was born on January 20th and the son was born on March 12th. Both of them were born in the morning. Which one did their parents see first?

1) 7th 2) Wolves 3) definitely Dogs! 4) YA! 5) I’m stumped

1. 10th 2. dogs :) 3. dogs!! 4. yeah I do. riddle: Oh my goodness, I have no idea!

1. 7th. 2. Dogs, cats, and pandas, but I like a lot of others too! 3. So hard to choose, but I finally came up with dogs. 4. Yes, definitely! 5. The daughter! Thank you for the questions and the riddle!

the answer to the riddle is the daughter, because the daughter was born first.

nope. The answer is the son. Because of the sunrise. Get it?

They were both born in the morning, and the SUNrise comes first. So the SON was... Oh forget it.

1. 5th 2. Dog 3. Dogs 4, Kind of 5. IDK

1) 6th 2) Definitely dogs 3) Yes 4) The daughter?

My answers: 1. 8th 2. Red Panda 3. DOG 4. Yes :( 5. Here's a hint- The answer is a homophone

Guys!!! I'm top 100 on the leaderboard! I know I'm not as high as most of my friends though... I got really sad when I saw that all my friends (for example @beachbreeze15, @bsc, @inmemoryofcpr, callie_b, and a bunch of others that I will congratulate but not mention). Anyway, I got top 100! Yay.

Oh CONGRATS!!!! I am positive that you will be in the top 10 soon enough!! :-D

Yay that's great!! I know beachbreeze is reeeeeeeally high, I am in place 48 😊

I remember when she wasn't even in the top 500. But now she's so high! Thanks!

That's awesome! I still think that's awesome that you got 100.

Are you doing online classes? Whew! I have to use zoom and Webex for 5hours today. I really want to meet our friends, but meeting with 5+ people is not allowed so...anyway, how about you? Do you sometimes go to school?

I do face-to-face, all we have to do is wear masks.

I have always been homeschooled, so school hasn't been too different for me :)

Only online. :( We use google classroom and everything google.

I've been going to online school. I use Big Blue Button.

I do online classes, but I use the Teams platform.

I definitely recommend the French Girl in New York. And the rest of the series! Since is not well-known, I felt like I found a hidden gem when I read this! The first one is free on amazon. I'm finished with this series, so any recommendations? +I've liked books like Hunger Games, Red Queen, The 39 clues, and KOTLC.

Cool! I'll check it out!
