Six years have passed since my four kids and I gathered up some of their writing and created this magazine. I knew the moment our boys brought me their hand-scrolled “newspaper” titled, The Bunk Room, we had something special to share. Who knew that this little vessel would touch the lives of so many throughout the world? I’m humbled and inspired as we expand our mission to bring this opportunity for kids to be published to more kids worldwide. In this edition you’ll see contributors from Australia and Germany. Everyday I see many more new visitors worldwide coming to TheBunkRoom.com. Welcome, thank you and please continue to share!
The Bunk Room Foundation Needs You. Please consider helping us continue our mission to inspire kids to love and embrace reading and writing. To donate, email us at donate@thebunkroom.com. Thank you! <3

The phones are ringing. Fingers are clicking away on keyboards, mice are moving. This is what the office at my new job at Leads on Demand, an internet marketing firm, sounds like. I review and edit leads, then send them to clients. My goal is to have my student loan completely paid off by the end of June. My experience at The Bunk Room has defintely helped me with this job. I’ve realized that all the writing I’ve done for this magazine has been key for me qualifying for this job and doing it well. Now more than ever, kids are finding The Bunk Room and participating. That’s good news for all of us because that means with every experience kids have writing, they’re getting better at communicating.
That’s huge, as I now can see at my job on a daily basis! I also just started interning again at the Orlando Predators and that has been a blast so far! We had our first game of the season last night. After reading this edition of The Bunk Room I’m once again very impressed. One article to check out is Julia’s article on the chickens she owns. It’s mindblowing what she does and that there are so many things about chickens I never knew about! Another great article to checkout is the article about Teen Court. There are hundreds of Teen Courts around the country and it is a fantastic experience for anyone involved. I was a part of Teen Court and I was very happy with the experience I got from it so I encourage everyone to join Teen Court, or at least go to one of the trials to see what it is like.

What Do ? k n i h T u o Y
If you could choose where your family goes on vacation, where would you want to go? I'd like to visit the Florida Keys because there are coral reefs there and I've never seen coral in real life.
Hawaii because I could relax in the sun! Annika 14, Mount Dora, FL
Jillian 8, Mount Dora, FL Mexico, because of the clear waters and sandy beaches.
I would love to go to Disney World with my family. We used to live close by and I miss being able to go all the time.
Julia 10, Medford, OR
Breanna 11, Jamestown, NC
Hawaii, because I have family there and the weather is always nice.
Paris! Or the beach. The beach is so awesome. Larissa 10, Mount Dora, FL

Solly 16, Clermont, FL
I would want to go to Pennsylvania, because I would love to take part in the writing workshops they have and I would also love to visit my crazy Irish family.

Mary Ann 15, Columbus, OH I would love to go to Europe with my family because It looks so beautiful and has such an interesting history!
Meg 13, Mount Dora, FL
Hannah 14, Mount Dora, FL Disneyland. I've been to Disney World and I wonder what Disneyland looks like.

Day-To-Day
By Sam Smith 13 Queensland, Australia Hervey Christian Academy
I woke to a bright sunny morning, though I felt anything but bright. After getting out of bed, changing, and eating brekkie, I made my way to the covered area where us kids usually do our schoolwork. As usual I started my schoolwork with an odd bit of excitement as I rushed to finish my before my brother. And before I knew it I had the feeling of a knot in my stomach as I was close to finishing; surely if I’m close to finishing, so must be my brother. As the last question loomed into my sight, my haste suddenly turned into a simple war for a first place finish. Finally, only minutes later, I grabbed my school case and threw all my schoolwork in, and exclaimed victoriously, “Done!” Sadly, because of my competitive spirit, I usually sacrifice accuracy for speed. After school I wasted most of my day on the computer playing games. I enjoyed beating the other players, I admit. It was more like a duel with every player; sometimes I won; sometimes I didn’t and some were downright ridiculous; with both of us dying in game at the same time. Then before I knew it, I had eaten, had tea, and had almost fallen asleep to my sisters chatting, when my brother called me from the other side of the bus. “Okay… what is it?” I said in an over exaggerated tired tone. My brother gave me a glance, and then showed me a new Minecraft mod. “Interesting,” I briefly replied. My brother let out a sigh, when he realised I wasn’t intrigued. I only gave him a brief cheeky smile and then turned to walk out of the room, when I saw a piano looking thing on the bed. I pointed to it and turned to my brother and said, “What’s that?” “A keyboard,” he replied. I stared at him for a minute and laughed, “A keyboard, you’re kidding me! A keyboard is a device you type on!” “No, this keyboard is an electronic piano!” he replied. “A piano! Really, but why didn’t you tell me you had a piano?” I said giving away that I wasn’t as tired as I made out to be. “I’ve had it for more than a week!” he replied. After hearing his reply I stood there gasping and then said faintly, “Oh.”

Julia’s 10 Tips for Raising Backyard Chickens
1.
2. 3.
4.
Build a very secure chicken coop so that other animals cannot get in. Get a large feeder so you can feed them once a week instead of every day. Feed your chickens feed from the local co-op and your leftovers. They love pasta noodles, yogurt and strawberries. Do not feed them romaine lettuce. Baby chicks need a heat lamp, but once they are a couple months old they don’t need one any more.
5. 6.
7.
Handle your baby chicks often so that they are friendly when they are grownup chickens. Build nesting boxes for chickens to lay eggs in and gather eggs daily. Wash any dirty ones before you refrigerate them. If they are not dirty, you do not need to wash them. Let your chickens out of their coop to be free-range. They love exploring for bugs and plants to eat.
8.
9.
The chickens will go back into their coop when the sun goes down. You don’t have to make them go in. They always go to bed when it’s dark. If you only want eggs to eat, don’t get a rooster. If you get a rooster, you will have eggs to eat and eggs that hatch into baby chicks.
10. Sit back and enjoy watching them. They are very entertaining and have different personalities.

When I am a teenager, I want to become Editor-in Chief of The Bunk Room. I think it would be really fun to manage the magazine and decide which articles would go into each issue. Some people say that I have bad handwriting but that won’t stop me from accomplishing my life goals. I’ll just type everything. By the age of 20, I want to work as an Imagineer at Disney World, thinking up and designing new ideas and
concepts for the rides and attractions. I think it would be really cool if Disney had a big volcano roller coaster! You would ride up inside the cone of the volcano, come out of the top and then ride down twistyturny track to the bottom. Fake lava would explode out of the top and soak everyone. (Not real lava, of course.) Fake styrofoam rocks would fall on passengers. I’m going to work at Disney World until I’m 60 and then I’m going to retire and live in a
mansion on a quiet beach. I will have a loyal Labrador retriever named Larry to keep me company. I will wear comfy blue slippers all the time. I will travel everywhere around the world by private jet. I’ll go to Japan, Africa and Antarctica and encounter cool people and animals. I won’t fly everywhere though. Sometimes, I’ll walk because I still have to keep in shape. I’ll travel until I’m 80 and then write an autobiography.

Dominic a n Republi c
By Jess s Onalask ica Ni 13, Onala a Middle sk School a, WI
“Please be over!” I was praying for a safe, quick landing. My stomach gurgled in protest; it didn’t get along with airplanes. Clenching my fists and squeezing my eyes shut, I calmed myself down. When I looked again, the Dominican Republic below seemed alive. The vivid nightlife of the island lit up even in the darkest hour of the night. We checked into our resort which featured an ecological park. It housed a variety of animals and birds. The bunnies were so adorable, I wanted to take one home. Colorful parrots perched on a stand over a fish pond as if it were their kingdom, the turtles below their subjects. Various birds on the ground followed me

around looking for bread, then scrambling for bits and pieces. The giant iguanas were sunbathing on the rocks in their cage as if they hadn’t a care in the world. I found a colorful and gaudy surprise – peacocks roaming around. The parade was interesting to watch. The males would strut around with their turquoise and emerald colored feathers fanned out, flaunting their beauty in the hope of getting a new mate, only to be rejected countless times. My favorite part of the vacation was the beach. The roaring waves would crash onto the sandy shore, then pull back sand upon returning to the ocean. I couldn’t resist the urge to dive in and frolic in the water. The sensation of the cool water splashing on my skin was refreshing. The weather was perfect with the bright sun shining and a slight breeze. Every day, the ocean called me; paired with my imagination, it created limitless fun. I would pretend to be an Olympic swimmer, sometimes a mermaid or a dolphin. Once in a while, an enormous wave would knock me down and wipe the wind out of me! Then I would retreat to the sand to recoup. Sometimes I would build a sandcastle or join other kids painting. But I would always head back to the water to
try to conquer the waves! Swimming in the water burned so much of my energy that it left me starving at the end of the day. However delicious the burgers and fries were at the beach shack, I needed something more. The resort’s variety of a la carte restaurants did just the trick to satisfy my appetite! Each restaurant had its own theme such as Japanese, seafood, Italian, steakhouse ... Each had high quality, succulent food that made my mouth water. I felt like I was wining and dining in style. My vacation is over all too soon, but I still remember every detail like it was yesterday. Even today, I can hear the Punta Cana ocean waves calling me to return. I will answer their call someday.

This last year I have been striving to get better at ballet. I have been taking extra classes and getting extra accessories, like a foot stretcher and getting thai massage to help open up my joints to make me more flexible. . . . Soon the day came to prove to that I had improved; my audition for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy had finally arrived. . . . Read more.

Bunk Roomies Write My 3rd Grade Teacher
By Jack Fortna 9, Sorrento, FL Bunk Roomie Writer / Round Lake Elementary
For most of her career, she has been shaping the lives and memories of hundreds of kids. Lorrie Chappell teaches third grade at Round Lake Elementary. She has been teaching in Lake County Schools for almost 20 years and eight of those years she has been teaching third grade. Chappell finds joy in leading her students to success regardless of how big the task or mission is. It makes her feel good to be a part of that success. “What I like best about teaching is being able to help my students realize that they can be successful.” There are also challenges Chappell faces with a classroom of kids with different abilities and personalities. “The one thing that makes my job challenging is not having enough time in the day to work with my students.” She said she would like to be able to spend more time focusing on them and not on other tasks that take away from them.

Deputy Sheriff Wears Many Hats By Jillian Malec 9, Mount Dora, FL Bunk Roomie Writer / Homeschooled What does a deputy for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office do? Well, it depends on whom you ask. Lt. Herrell, of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office recently celebrated his 17th anniversary of his first day of work. For the first year and a half at the sheriff’s office, Lt. Herrell drove a squad car and took suspects to jail. He then became a detective. As a detective, Lt. Herell investigated crimes against children, where children were not treated the right way or were abused. Because of his experience and leadership skills, Lt. Herrell was promoted to the position of supervisor for that group. For the past eight years, Lt. Herrell has been juggling three jobs. First, he is the public spokesman for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. This means he is the person who gives interviews on the news and informs the community of any important arrests or happenings that involve the sheriff’s office. Lt. Herrell’s second job is to oversee internal affairs investigations. If a police officer were to pull a person over for driving over the speed limit and the officer was very rude, a complaint could be filed. The internal affairs investigators would check to see if the complaint was true and would act on that information. Lt. Herrell supervises these investigations of fellow officers. Lt. Herrell’s final job is working on ac-

creditation. Accreditation is a program that the sheriff’s office has to ensure that they have good rules and policies for all of their employees and deputies to follow. Every three months, Lt. Herrell must update the policies in order to keep up with the changing accreditation requirements. Lt. Herrell says that being the public spokesman for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office is both his favorite and most challenging job. “I like having that connection to the community so that I can let them know what is going on,” said Herrell. During a recent major explosion at a local propane company, Lt. Herrell was able to inform the public of the extent of the damage to the plant and injuries to employees and reassure the community that no firefighters or police officers had been hurt. Lt. Herrell said that his phone rings constantly and his family time is often interrupted by reporters seeking a news story. But Herrell continues to insist that he loves every thing about his job. “I like knowing that I make an impact in the community.” Lt. Herrell lives in Eustis with his wife, Nicki, and their three children Kaden (8), Collin (6), and Olivia (1). Herrell said he plans to continue his work with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office for many years to come.
