Noah Underwood's Journal (my last regrets to those who have heard my story)

Dear Journal,
Wow! My life has been such an amazing roller coaster as the ride has changed direction and speed this last summer. You see, I have learned a lot thanks to my family and friends. For example, sticking up for whats right was one of the main things that my dad guided me through. This helped me not only with Bull and Jasper Jr. but also helped me understand why people are who they are and what makes them be them. My family has gone through a lot this summer from my dad sinkin' Dusty Muleman's ship to my "dead" grandpa appearing from nowhere to save the day. If only I could have a written document that thanks my family... That is it! Here, I am going to thank my family for all that they have done and all that they will do for me in the next years of my life.

Abbey: Sis, you are truly the best sister a guy could ever have. You do everything with me. From fishing and swimming, to coming up with master mine plans and bringing them to life. You are always there for me and this is why I put you first in my head.

Mom: What can I say? You are a caring and loving woman. I know that you would never let anything bad happen to Abbey or Dad which really makes me think of you all the time. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be riding my bike to the beach with training wheels. You made it so that I could have roots to start growing. Thank you.

Grandpa Bobby: I don't exactly know you as well as I should but from now on, (well at least when you get back from Cuba) we have to be best palls. There is a lot that you still need to know about me and Abbey and I think it would be cool to start fresh. Let's talk some time.

Shelly: Hey! You are awesome. At first, I was kinda afraid of you but now, I look up to you as a person (not some woman who is ten stories taller than me.) Thank you so much for all that you have done this summer. Without you, my dad would probably still be in jail and the beaches would be as dirty as ever. Thanks for everything!

Last but not least, Dad: Where do I start? You are probably one of the most kindest people that walks this earth. You can put environment first just remember what you did to the Coral Queen. You make my life worth while which is truly an accomplishment. Thank you very, very much.

And thank you all of those people that mean something to this world. You are always prepared to do what's right not to mention helping others. It is you who make his world a great place to live.
