That night was magical; I never thought I would score so many points in a short period of time. I got that many points and I wasn’t even being a ball hog. The saying is “play great d and the offense will come”; I’m guessing my defense was great. When I got those 41 pts, they labeled me as a … Read More
Treating everyone the same!!
When I was a kid, I used to pick on a kid smaller than me and it really made him upset. A few years went by and I kept picking on him and one day he finally got tired and started to hit me, and, well, you know, I started to hit him back. We got in trouble, but you … Read More
Learning to Speak
Learning is an everyday skill in which a person receives knowledge about a new object, word or maybe an activity. Most people learn through experience of what their stories tell. Some people learn from other people experiences or stories. I too, like to learn things through things I’ve experienced. I like to observe people’s actions, to get an idea on … Read More
Trust Problems!
Here recently, I’ve learned to trust myself more and to never judge someone by their past. I learned this by telling a trusted person basically my whole life story, and they just made everything so much worse for me. I do a lot for other people: like giving them advice, listening to them, or helping them when they need it. … Read More

I learned this under the circumstance that I have made friends in places that I have been to. I … Read More
The safety net
This past New Years I traveled with my brother and friends to Cambodia and saw something unexpected. I saw terribly poor families without clothing and without much shelter. Children played in the dirt streets without shoes because their feet grow too fast. They don’t require helmets for children under 16 because it’s too expensive to buy the new equipment. I … Read More
Being Yourself
I think learning not to care what other people think is very important. It can help you learn to be yourself. My experience with this concept has helped me so much. Before, when I cared what others thought, I would try so hard to get people to like me. I had popular friends and always fit in. Then I realized … Read More
Fisherman :)
We wake up bright and early; the sun hasn’t even popped up over the hills. I have been dreaming and talking about this wonderful day for weeks. I was smiling from ear to ear. This was the day I was finally going to be named the best fisherman, with the biggest fish. I was packing the truck up with all … Read More
Nice "as"
When I was five years old, I started kindergarten at my school. Whenever we started reading a story, our teacher always made us read out loud. I hated that because I didn’t know that many words and I would have to stop and sound out most of my words. I sounded like an idiot because none of my other classmates … Read More
