My Life

  • Middle School

    Middle School
    Middle school was the worst years of my life. I dressed up as a boy, I didn't take care of my hair, and my skin was horrible. I was very awkward. I was really shy and people didn't even know my name. I was so worried about my appearance and making friends that my grades were also bad. The last year of middle school I began to change. I fixed myself up and got my grades a little better. I stopped being shy and began to talk to people and made new friends. I created good memories.
  • Falling of my Bike

    Falling of my Bike
    My family and I were going on walk because it was nice day. My cousins and I were riding our bikes. I was enjoying everything. Then there was a steep hill that we all wanted to go down. So, we had a race going down. I don't remember where my cousins were but when I went down I went so fast. It felt nice at first but then my handle bars started shaking and I was in shock. Then I fell sideways and scrapped my whole chest and got a black eye. But, I got up and cried all the way home.
  • Andy

    Andy
    It was time for my baby brother to be born. I was so excited to finally have a brother. I always wanted a brother. When I was allowed to see my baby brother my heart stopped and I felt like crying but I didn't. He was so precious. When I held him in my hands I said that I would always be there for him and protect him with my life. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. Sometimes I joke around and call him my son. Andy made me a protective person and I learned how to be more caring.
  • Brewster

    Brewster
    When my family told me that we were moving I was so upset. I hated Carmel but, I didn't want to leave my friends that I was so close with. But we needed to move because the house that we lived at was very bad. When I went into Brewster I didn't talk to no one and no one talked to me. When I went to the cafeteria I was sitting alone and then I hear someone screaming and I looked up; it was Jalom. She became my best friend ever since. So, I'm happy that moved here because I got to meet her.
  • Permit

    Permit
    I'm sixteen and my mom came into my room. She told me I should start preparing to get my permit. I really didn't feel like studying for it but she already got me the book to study. When she gave me it and told me the date of my test I got to studying. I heard that you can pass without studying but I wanted to make sure I passed so studied. When I took the test I was confident. I wasn't nervous and I finished quickly. I passed with an 85. My parents were proud of me and I was proud of myself.
  • First Job

    First Job
    It was summer, I finished school and I was home. My family and I were eating and my dad said if I wanted to work. I said of course. My mom said, "You can work at Mcdonlads where I used to work because they know me". So, she took me over there. I met the boss and she was very nice. After working there for two weeks I got my first paycheck. I was so happy to be getting my own money and buying my own things. This encouraged me to work harder and wanting to have a successful job in the future.
  • Geometry Regents

    Geometry Regents
    The geometry regents was coming soon and I wasn't ready for it at all. I looked over some notes for geometry but, that didn't do anything. Geometry was confusing and I hated it. When it was the day of the test I walked in there knowing I was going to fail. I still tried my hardest. I did things I knew which wasn't even half of the test and the other half I guessed. When the test was over I had no idea what I even did. I got a 59. I hated seeing that but I'm not perfect and I just accepted it.
  • Carnival

    Carnival
    This year was my first year actually going on a ride at a carnival. I hate rides because of the fact that I can break and many people get injured. But, my cousin convinced me to go on it because she said it wasn't scary. She said it would feel like a kid ride. So, I said okay and when I got on I started screaming. The ride made you go so fast in circles and I'm upside down. I was cursing and yelling. But, when I got off I felt good. I wanted to go on it again. I like trying new stuff now.
  • Mother

    Mother
    I was home alone while my family was at my aunt's house. Then I get a call from my cousin. She said that my mom fell down the stairs and hurt her ankle. When they came home after like two hours my mom came with cruches. I was so upset when I saw that look on her face. My dad was mad which I knew he would be because he's annoying. I tried to help her as much as I could. Seeing her hop around and still doing work and taking care of the kids inspired me so much. I want to be as strong as her.
