Foreword
When I was asked to introduce Harvey Johnson’s book about the history of Caldwell, Colorado, I was honored. Caldwell is an enchanting town nestled high on a ridge that overlooks the Rock River. The river curves through the heart of Deer Valley and supports the wildlife and plant life that thrive there. Harvey’s book paints a picture of the history of this small town, but it also captures a time in my life that is dear to my heart. As a child, I spent my summers fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and stargazing in Caldwell. It sounds too good to be true, but it wasn’t. It was pure joy—joy that came from the people, the mountains, the sounds of the river, and the rich history of a tiny town with a big past.

explanation:

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
