Assistance Dog Provides Learning Situation for All [ posted on toledoblade.com ]

Zac, 9

I like to ride my bike, play kick ball at school recess with my friends, play video games, jump on my friend Kadin's trampoline.

I am on swim team and last summer earned the award of Swimmer of the Year. I love sleep overs with friends and staying up late. But my mom and dad don't like that because I get tired and weak the next day.

I like to build forts and play with my dog Riley. I like to swing on my swing set and play with squirt guns with my friends on warm summer days.

I love ice cream, movies, and Nickelodeon TV.

My two favorite teams are the Ohio State Buckeyes and Cincinnati Bengals. I always pick the Bengals when playing Madden football.

Here is a poem I wrote:

I am many colors
I am blue when I am mad
I am red when I am sad
I am green when I am happy
It doesn't matter how you look on the outside —
But on the inside.
