A Beautiful Morning by Anthony Conroy

June 17, 2008

Last week while cleaning at the dining room/school room getting it ready for the fall, I came across some old papers on my son’s I’ve never read before. Anthony was in 4th grade when he took a 6th grade Shurley Grammar class. He got 100% on this essay I wanted to share with you.

A Beautiful Morning by Anthony Conroy

One day I decided to watch the sunrise. I sat on a hill, feeling the morning dew drench my pants. I heard the birds chirping in the distance, announcing the sun’s arrival. Suddenly the sky changed color to a light shade of pink and orange. Then beams of light shot over the sky. Soon the sky got brighter and the colors got darker. Finally I saw the tip of the sun peeking over the green tree tops. The sun was like the smiling face of a best friend. I was glad I decided to watch the sunrise.

His teacher’s comment: “Anthony, I am very impressed at how well you used descriptive phrases! Keep up the good work.”

Guess Anthony takes after me when it comes to writing!

For more information on my P.A.I.N.T. with Your Words class that teaches descriptive writing visit the For Kids class page and my online store.

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
