Today

Today, I didn't do anything exciting. I got a score of 231 on the reading part of the MAP test. I am trying to finish my homework for every class tonight. Lunch, today, was not very tasty. After school, I went to my off-campus drug group, it was boring. All we did was watch a movie about teenagers and their parents, and what part of the brain we use. Did you know that teenagers use the creative part of the mind and adults use the critical thinking part of the mind? I was amazed when I found that out because it was true. I am always creative at any time of the day.

My Memorable Birthday!!!

My memorable birthday was when I turned 9. My whole family threw a birthday party at a park. I got to see my mom for the first time and what made it more special was that my younger brothers got to come too. My cake was awesome. It was a Hulk cake. My grandma had made her famous potato salad, it was delicious. My favorite part of the day was the Astro Jumper. My grandpa gave me a videogame that just needs to be connected to the television. My birthday was the only day that my whole family didn't fight and was together.

My Embarrassing Moment

About 7-8 years ago, I was living with my second foster parents’ house in Lemon Grove. I got up out of my bed, when my foster mom, Angelica, told me to put on nice clothes. I was confused. All dressed up, I walked downstairs to find my right shoe. I saw strangers with cameras and umbrellas just setting up for something. A lady grabbed my hand and told me to fix my hair because I was next to take an individual photo. With everybody doing things in a rush, it sounded like a stampede was in the house. By the end of the individual pictures, we did siblings photos. They made me sit on top of sister’s lap. I thought everything would go smooth but when the person who was taking the pictures told us to stay still. All of a sudden my stomach started rumbling and I accidently farted on my sister’s lap and boy did I clear out the room.

Last Day of Hell Week

Saturday around 9: oo in the morning, I woke up with my roommate’s talk show playing on the radio. I had my Houseparent make me some breakfast before football practice, which was at 10:00. After eating, I got ready for practice. At practice, one of the coaches’ said that he had a treat for us. He wasn’t lying; he made us run 10 miles up a hill. I felt like I was going to die when we were done. Practice went on for 3 and half hours. I was glad that it was over. But at least I got a good exercise out of it.

First Day Back

My first day back at school was very interesting. Eating muffins was my favorite part of the day because it was so delicious. I thought it would take forever waiting to get my classes but it went by pretty fast. I was excited to have Ms. Davis for Biology and I finally ended up in Mr. Beedle's Art class. I am trying to get a 3.0 or higher as my GPA. school is going to be a piece of cake!!!
