It is such an exciting week. So many things are going to happen and their are things that already happened.  I finally get to meet my first nephew. my sister had her baby. It makes me happy having a new member in the family. Even though my sister is a young mom I am happy that she got through the pain and hope she learned her lesson. I had gotten a phone call from a job that I applied to over the weekend. They told me that I had to go to a job interview on Wensday.  This week is going by very fast. tomorrow is finally wensday. I hope I do good and get the job. It would honestly make me happy. I am trying to show my parents that I am a independent girl and prove those who don't believe I cant be someone in life wrong. Finding out that Friday fast and furious 7 comes out Friday excites me. It is going to be the best movie that is coming out this year. Especially by the fact that Romeo santos is going to be a part of it. He is the king of batchata. Most likely it is going to sell out. Report card pickup is the other thing that excites me this week. knowing that I picked up my grades will be good news for my parents. This week is just going to be good I know it.

The version I like most from Romeo and Juliet was Bazluniam. In the movie they were dressed up interesting they were wearing costumes like people wear today for Halloween. Although the characters seemed a little crazy the way they were acting they seemed like they were on drugs or something. That surprised me and that was something new in Romeo and Juliet. I honestly didn’t expect that from the movie I thought it was going to be proper and everything.

“No partner in a love relationship should feel that she or he has to give up an essential part of herself or himself to make it viable workable”

This quote means that if he or she is in love with their partner and your partner is not putting any potential into the relationship, and you feel that you are feeling disconnected from your partner and you decide to give him or her a great part of yourself just so he or she won’t leave you. You think it might work because they’ve never seen a great part of you or you’ve given up something so valuable it might make them stay. I honestly believe that if the couple is really in love neither of them have to worry about pleasing each other just so your partner can either love you more or make them stay. Love is natural and beautiful, no one has to rush things nor do things you shouldn't do just to try and make them happy. If he or she is happy with you you'd feel it they don't have to force it. Like whats the whole point of being in a relationship if only one of you care about making it work. If that one person makes it work just by being with at all time then that truly means the relatinship is real. In a relationship theres no need to be spoiled nor being showed off to the point of a relationship is just to be loved by that person and through the good and bad moments with them.

         Angel just graduated from 8^th grade and can't wait till high school. Angel can't wait to play high school basketball. In 8^th grade angel was the man at basketball. He and his befriend Joe. Joe was the point guard, very fast, hardly made any turnovers, passes very well, and great IQ for the game. Angel was the big man; he did all the dirty work, he rebound, score, the go to guy, and love the game. Angel and Joe were like the perfect two man team. They knew how to play with each other. Every team was scared of these two guys. They also do everything together. They went to party, hung out, went to the mall, and of course played basketball together. When they graduated Joe told angle that he won't be going to Kennedy high school with him. angel was upset about it but not only that, Joe told also told angel that Joe would be leaving Chicago and would be moving out of Chicago, and be moving to Texas. Angel didn't know what to do now. Angle was really looking forward to playing high school basketball, with his best friend/teammate. Joe was also upset about it.But there was nothing they can do about it. So before that day came, they did everything they can together. When the day came, it was heartbreaking. Angel said his goodbyes and gave Joe a few gifts. Everyone there was sad. Angel stayed to watch the plane leave. Before Joe left angel told Joe to call him when he landed. 4 hours go by and still no call. It was only a 2and a half hour fight. Angel thought maybe Joe forgot to call him. The next day goes by and angel gets a call from Joe mom. So angel pick up the phone and it was Joe mom crying and said 'the plane Joe was in crash and everyone in it died'. Angel didn't know what to do or say. He just stood still in silent for a moment. Then angel drops the phone and stared to cry. Ran to his room and just stood there. He didn't want to do anything after that, he didn't leave his house, hardly ever eat, and hardly did anything. School was about to start and for angel, this was going to be his first day in high school. But all angel can think about was his best friend Joe. Now it's time for school. When Joel walks in, he doesn't know anybody. After school ends he goes to try out for basketball not knowing anybody. Everybody on the team looks at angel not knowing who this kid is. After all the work outs angel did fine. Now it was time to play a pickup game. Angel was the last one pick. Nobody wanted angel on their team, angel didn't look like the type who could play basketball.

Have you ever been to a fun place to visit?? Boston is the place to go. There a lot of thing to do in Boston. Boston has a lot of history. Like Fenway Park, home to the Boston red sox, where that stadium has been the site of many home runs, stolen bases and also grounder since 1912. The stadium celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012. Now that's a lot of history in one stadium. Also a fun place for your kids is the New England aquarium, inside you will find thousands of marine critters to study and the giant ocean tank. The New England aquarium is the place to go, or the New England holocaust memorial, which was inspired by a group of holocaust survivors who found new lives in the Boston area. The New England holocaust memorial was built to foster reflection on the impact of bigotry. The outcome of evil during World War 2 and to this day, another cool place to visit is the old state house, is this building use to be the center of Boston's civic life in the 18th century and the scene of some of the most dramatic chapters. It's just a cool place to visit, there a lot of history behind it and everywhere around Boston. You can find more history at the African meeting house on Beacon Hill which was built in 1806 in whatonce. It is today a showcase of black community organization in the formative years of the new republic. Now if there any place to visit in this world, you should visit Boston. Its fun, has a lot of history in it, and is just the place to go. That's why my favorite place is Boston.

It was late at night on a Monday. My day was going go the whole day. Everyone in the house was asleep, when I went to take a shower. I put on my music and jump in the shower. Everything went fine until I got out the shower. As I was putting on my clothes I just happen to look up. When I look up their it was, one of the scares, and most deadly insects in the planet, a spider. I freaked out and didn't know what to do. So I ran out as fast as I can to my mom. I knew if anyone was going to help me it was going to be my mom. But she didn't, she just yelled at me because I woke up my brother and because I was too big to cry about a spider. Little did she know though, I can die trying to kill a spider like this one. So now I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to get anywhere near that thing. So I grab the air fresher because I knew I couldn't get close to that thing. So I became a man again and went back in the bathroom and there it was, in the same place it was before. Didn't even move an inch, so I ran up very fast and sprayed it. It fell on the floor and I didn't get to see what happen next because I ran out the bathroom by then. Ran too my room and locked the door just in case the spider tried to open the door. I waited about an hour to go back out to see what had happen to it. As I went back in I couldn't see it, it was like it was gone. So now I don't know if it is dead or alive.

Favorite Place

My favorite place I visited was New York City. I was about 9 years old when I went. It started of by my Mom waking me up like around 6 a.m. I didnt know what was happening. I stood up and saw them have luggage in front of the door. I was really confused but excited because I knew we were going on a trip.

Money and music, these were all I needed for the good life. With money you can get almost anything you want. With money you can buy music! So its a good combo. If I had lots of money I would be set. Money buys people things they want and need. I want a lot of things like most people do. If I had lots of money I would buy a house, a car, everything a house needs and of course the things I don’t need but want like more boards, and some bikes, and lots of clothes and shoes. Music is something I think I need because everyday I’m listening to music. I listen to music when I’m in class, when I’m running, or skating. I listen to music always. Without music my life would feel so boring. Music helps me relax, and it also helps me feel like I can run longer or skate better. It pumps me up, it does everything good to me. It’s never made me angry except when I hear music I don’t like. Some types of music just make me angry, I don’t understand how people can like it. But thats probably how they feel about my music too so I guess it goes both ways. The types of music I love the most are Indie, Metal, and Classic Rock. My favorite bands right now are Beach Fossils and The Devil Wears Prada. Money and music are all I need to live a good life.

Favorite Place Story

My favorite place to go has to be this place called Wolf Lake. Going there takes a looong time walking. I first went there because my friend was gonna meet his girlfriend there. He told me that she was gonna take her friends Bryan and Rachael, and he told me to go then. So we went here plenty of times. First time we walked. Worst thing ever to do. It took us like 2 hours to get there. We had to take a bike trail all the way over there so its mostly one road the whole time. So the many next times we went, we took bikes. When we biked it there it took us like 45 minutes so it was alright. The way there is quite fun so I didn’t really mind. The only bad thing was the super hot summer weather. Theres extremely sweaty people running on that trail, lots of bikers in their tights. We would prep ourselves by taking a backpack carrying a few gatorade or water bottles because the trip is so dehydrating. Getting there you would see so many new faces every day, and we did go everyday. So we saw a lot of new people. After the bike and you actually got to the “lake” you would arrive in a area where theres a lot of recreational areas like playgrounds and large benches for people who wanna have cookouts I guess. Thats where we would normally meet the girls at. The first time we got there we chilled at the playground for a bit cause they wanted to. After a while we moved into the woods area. Now thats where all the cool stuff is at. Theres weird looking orange squirrels and lots of annoying bugs. Most of the area has like a musty, wet feel to it, I guess cause its a wood area? Theres literally a lake right next to the woods, its a muddy looking lake and there was always fishermen in their little boats out in the lake fishing. The whole place is pretty big, we got lost many times. Theres also these guys in little cars who drive around patrolling the place to keep “troublesome” kids or teens out of doing bad things. Around the place theres signs telling you about different animals that are around, it mostly tells about very colorful birds and fish and a squirrel. Everytime we went we encountered new things, we seen people dirt biking, we seen a deer once. It really is a fun place to go if you’re gonna go with friends. Whether you’re gonna go just to chill or to go do stupid things in the woods, it’s a very fun place to be.

If i were to choose three things in life for the rest of my life i would pick money, family, and friends. i would pick these because first of all money would get you anything you want to buy. Money could be helpful to buy food and other things you need to survive. Without money it would be bad for me because i wont be able to buy the items i would need. Family would be another chose for me because they have been by my side since the day i was born. they also support me through the hardest times and good moments. I know my family would be there for me for a long time and wont leave my side at all until there time is up. They're the reason why I'm still in school and not out in the streets like the other kids. with their support i can graduate highschool and have a good career coming in the future.My family would also stay by my side no matter what. The final thing that I would chose would be friends and not just friends, I would pick the ones that I’ve known for a long time because they know what I have gone through and I would trust them with anything. My friends would be a good choice because I could do crazy things with them. I wouldn’t get tired of them because I know we would do dumb, crazy things that would have us rolling. These are the three things I would chose to have in my life.
