Uprising!

For this post I am going to talk about what I did so far today. When I woke up I saw that that my mom was sleeping with my little sister on her bed. The two of them were really quiet so I just went asleep again. After about 5 hours later I got up and checked the windows. It was bright outside. In the Winter the sky would always turn bright at 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. Sometimes there wouldn't be any light at all because all the clouds would be blocking it. However now that its Spring the sky gets bright pretty early. Then I headed to my parent's bedroom to see if anyone was there and sure enough my mom was sleeping there. She must've gotten out of my sister's bed in the middle of the night.
                                                                                           When I told her to wake ups and make breakfast she just said yes and then went back to sleep. I continued telling her to wake up and sooner or later she told that she'll be in the kitchen making the breakfast in 10 minutes. Then I waited until after 10 minutes and headed back upstairs. She was still in the bed sleeping so I just went downstairs and watched TV. After about 15 minutes I heard someone coming downstairs and found out she got out of bed. This gave me relief as she asked me what I wanted. I told her bread and eggs, she also asked my sister and in the end we both agreed and she made eggs and bread.
                                                                  The breakfast really was so good. I wanted it so badly, but she had no more eggs. Thats why I drank milk with the bread and it was even better! Finally when I finished the breakfast it was time for me to do my homework. My homework was to read two chapters in a book called "My Land And My People". I did like the first two chapters but after that the book started getting boring. It was all just facts and not enough story into it. When I finished that my dad came home. He didn't even ask me questions because since the weather was so nice he wanted me to go to the park with my sister. While I was putting my clothes on my sister left me because she already finished and it took me some time to find my clothes.
                                                   When I finally found them my sister came back and told me that the park was closed. I couldn't believe that I wasted all my time for nothing. Then my dad wanted to drop me and my sister to Lincoln Park and we walked over there. I wanted to wear a sweater, but he wouldn't let me and besides......it was pretty dirty. When we got to the park the first thing I did was run to the playground with my sister. My dad told us he was going to do jogging and starting running. When I got to the playground there were so many people. I couldn't find any of my friends so I just played tag with my sister. In the end we had lots of fun and I even went on the swings.
                                                       While I was walking home with my dad and sister from the park I saw one of my friends with his father eating Chinese food in a car. He looked pretty happy and showed me a new game his father got for him. Back home, my dad gave all three of us ice cream and then told me that I could use my PS4. My sister used his phone and he used the computer. When I got on PS4 the first thing I did was start my game and get in a party with my friends. All of us were talking about how we met each other or about school. It was really fun. One of my friends just started the game so I have to help him level up. Anyway then my dad told me to get off after 2 hours and told me to write because he thought I already did. Thats why I'm writing this. See you later!

Time (2)

"What do you want to do first?" I said. "Well how about the two of us go to a bar and continue our conversation?" Carver said. "Sure" I said, and the two of us drove in my car to the bar. While we were driving he told me that there was something he needed to do after we got to the bar and finished our conversation. He didn't want me to follow him or stalk him. You know as a father thats kind of hard to do, but since he was above 18 I decided to listen to him (We got to the bar while talking about this). While the two of us were drinking and laughing I wanted to know more about what he was going to do, so I asked him how he was going to do anything without money and he replied there was some money left over in his bank account. 
             As soon as he said that I let the bar thinking he was going to be fine and nothing big was happening, boy was I wrong. When I got home the only thing I did was watch TV and wait for him to come home. 5 minutes later I got a text message from him saying that he needed my help for something. So I texted back asking "what do you need help with?", and he texted back with "Just Come!". This really confused me. What could he be needing help with? Its only been 2 hours since his release for prison. Then I got worried. What if it was something big? Could I even do anything? The questions I was asking myself were endless. I was so paranoid.
             Thats when I stopped questioning myself and got into the car. He messaged me the coordinates to his destination and I drove there. I already wasted enough time worrying about whats going to happen, might as well just do it. When I arrived at the destination I didn't see a single person in sight. Then out of nowhere a gun shot fired and I hid behind my car. This could really be serious I thought. When I thought the coast was clear I peeked a bit under the car and saw Carver on the floor! He looked like he was dead, but then he opened his eyes and got up. Then I whispered to him "Carver......Whats happening.......". He looked at me and then walked over. What'll happen next?

Did you guys like my story called "TIME"? Tell me in the comment section. Well anyway now that I finished that I still have two more paragraphs left to write on so lets keep on going. Yesterday I was playing my favorite game "Overwatch" and it was really fun hanging out with my friends in a group and playing together. I liked it so much. While I was playing "Overwatch" I remembered the update. There was an update on the game based on the comic that the  company made called "Uprising" and it is super cool and fun. Basically there's this new game mode which you can play with a group of 4 people and fight bots to move the payload to the checkpoint.

After I finished playing my game my dad told my sister to tell me that I had to go to park. I really hated it so much but I still had to go so I grabbed some water and walked to the park. When I got the park only a few of my friends were there but I still had fun. We played dodgeball and all of my friends had a tournament to see who was the best. Fortunately I won because I threw my ball at the gate and it bounced and hit him. I was so happy!

Time

I'm so excited because Spring break is almost here for me and all the kids in Jersey City. It starts on Friday and I get 12 days off (including weekends). I do feel bad for all of the parents and adults because just because its Spring Break they don't get to slack off or relax and stay with their kids. They have to keep on working to pay the bills and get money to buy what they want and need. Anyway I've decided write a story today instead of talking about what I did today. Its going to be called " Time". Just so you know, the story will be in First person. Are you ready? Then lets start this story because my fingers are aching to type. 

TIME

..........and thats how I had the time of my life with my son Carver. Oh you don't know what I'm talking about. Well then let me start from the very beginning, when it all started. My son was put in jail the age of 15 for hiding marijuana. I was very disappointed in him and though he knew better. However during those prison years I never went to the prison to talk to him or explain how I felt. During that time I wasn't rich so I could just bail him out. I had to work very hard and by the time I had enough money it was 5 years since he was declared a prisoner. It was time for me to meet him and see if he changed. 

When I got to the prison a guard accompanied me to his cell and I asked him what he said. "I think that Carver has become a lot matured and has changed a lot since his first day in his cell" said the guard. When the guard showed me his cell it was empty. He said that it was his mistake and that the prisoners were eating lunch. Then he informed me to sit in the talking booth and wait for him to get Carver. So I waited in the talking booth and started to get a bit worried. What should I say or why did I come anyway? But before I could talk my way out of coming here the guard came back and this time with a man in a mask. 

When he left the man pulled the mask from his face. "Calvin! Oh how nice to meet you, I'm so sorry for not coming a lot earlier, but I didn't have enough money to get you out of here. I hope you can forgive me.". Carver didn't reply. He just smirked and then started slamming his head on the wall. Then the guards came in the room and started to tied Carver up so he couldn't do it anymore. Then after they left Carver wasn't smirking anymore. No he looked a lot angrier. Then after a few minutes of his angry expression he started laughing and said "Did I get you? Sorry I just wanted to see how you would react!". 

Then I started chuckling and we both got into a conversation. "So hows life her in the prison?" I said. "Well at first I hated it, but then I made some friends and started to play basketball on the court." Carver replied. Then we switched the conversation to what I was doing so far. After a while I bailed him out and the tow of us got into my car. So what do you want to do first?" I said. "I want to spend time with you because I know  life is short so we don't have a lot of it" He said. "Well you know something? I want to spend lots of time with you before we separate. Sound good?" I said. "I have all the time in the world......."

Pacer Test!

During school today I had a really fun time. When I got on my bus all the other kids had their projects. Since you don't know what I'm talking about our Science teacher assigned each student a project about cells. I made mine out of clay because I couldn't find styrofoam for my original idea. The other kids used legos and styrofoam. Some of them made edible ones like cake. I'll talk more about that later on. When I got to school the first thing I did was head to my class and place my project the back table. Then I ate my breakfast and took off my sweater. My first class was ELA and to be frank it was pretty boring.
                                                                                             After ELA I had Social Studies, we were given an outline by our teacher to complete while he was putting the answers on the board. Then we watched a video about India's history. It was on "Flocabulary". A really good website that takes a subject or topic and turns it into a rhyme while explaining it. The unfortunate thing was that everyone was talking and we had to continuously pause the video over and over again. That took up about 20% of the class. It was getting so annoying that I just used the bathroom and when I came back everyone was quiet and listening to the teacher. He must've done something to stop them.
                                                                        When Social Studies was done I had Gym and for Gym we were running laps. That was actually just the practice. Then when the practice or warm up was over our teacher said we were going to be practicing the Pacer Test. We had to pick a partner and they would run with us. It was actually really great and my friend and I maxed the test out. It was so easy. Though my leg was actually starting to hurt. Then when we were done the next group of partners had to do their test and in the end we were the only ones who maxed it out without making a mistake. 
                                                                               After Gym was Math. When my class got to Math we had to put our bookracks in the back and take out whatever we needed for class. Then everyone was supposed to head to the front of the class where she picked new seats. Even though I didn't like my seat at least I did well during Math. We were just reviewing our quizzes which by the way I got a hundred on, and then we also got to use expo markers and write on our desks. The reason she let us do it is because she thought that we could handle it and I wanted to show her that we deserve it, but the class was so bad that she had to take them away and then we worked on our books until class was over.
                                                                                                                                          The last class that I had was Science. The teacher said that we were supposed to grab our book bags and jackets because we were going into the Science Lab. When we got their our teacher said that he wanted all the kids who's projects were edible to go first because then we could eat it when we were done. My friend "Khalifa" had an edible project and got a 100%, but his cake melted so we couldn't eat it and since he didn't want to take it we had to throw it in the garbage. I wasn't able to present because mine wasn't edible. However tomorrow I am going to present. Wish me good luck.

Red Star Over Tibet

For today's post I'm going to talk about what I did today, so far. Its only 8:25 A.M right now while I'm typing this so don't expect too much. 50% of this is going to be about a book I read today. Anyway lets get started. When I woke up my sister wasn't in her bed and the time was 7:00 A.M. Thats when I went to my parents's bedroom and my dad and sister were talking to each other and laughing. You know, as a kid I had to be jealous because one kid shouldn't just go off and have fun with the parents while the other never knew anything was happening. So I joined in the conversation until I went downstairs. 
                                                                                       I went downstairs because my dad just went to sleep. WhenI reached the kitchen the first thing I did was head to the bathroom and start brushing my teeth. Then I did my hair as usual, after that my sister started brushing her teeth as well. She doesn't like the both of us brushing our teeth together because she fears I might spit on her by accident or something like that. When she finished we started talking about what we were going to do today and then started our homework. The earlier we do it, the more time we have later to do whatever we want.    
                                                                                                             For homework I always start reading first, so the book I read was called "Red Star Over Tibet". I've mentioned this book before, but didn't explain what it was about and the author, so thats exactly what I'm going to do today. I already read 16 chapters in total, but I'm going to only talk about the chapter I read today. Basically this book is about how Tibet (my country) was taken over by China. Thats why the title is called "Red Star Over Tibet". China's flag has star in it and red is it's main color. The book goes through the life of a family who experienced all of China's revolt and everything else. 
                                   On the chapter I read today it talks about how the family has just reached India. Before they escaped from Tibet in search of life in which they could make their decisions and pray for whoever they wish in India. However India wasn't exactly how they had hoped it would be. When they first even tried to get inside one of the Indian guards told them he wanted money. Like seriously who would do that? The first thing they did when they reached India was get news form an old man, a representative of the Sakya Lama (Spiritual leader). He said that the Sakya Lama told him tot ell us that Tibet would soon be free and back to the way it was.       
                                            That news got everyone in the family excited. Then two Tibetans who came from a city in India told them that their was work in the city. He told them with the money given as payment they could buy whatever they wanted to bring back home to Tibet once it was free again from Chinese rule. That everyone happy as well and they all headed straight for it. While the Tibetans and the family were doing their work the summer started and everyone got uncomfortable. The Tibetans were used to the cold climate of the mountains. Thats why they headed to a city in India that was colder yes for people who were rich and one of the kids got an education there.

McDonalds

For today's post I am going to write about what I did yesterday. Yesterday was Friday and I know that everyone loves Friday. Its one of the best days of the week because you know that the next day is Saturday! Wait, but doesn't that mean Saturday is the best day of the week. Never mind, right now we are going to talk about what I did on Friday. At Friday I had school and it was okay. My first class was Science and all we did was finish an outline from the day before (Thursday). After that I had Social Studies, Social Studies was my favorite class of the day because we were going to talk about Buddhism and Hinduism (my religion). 

During Social Studies I told my teacher that I followed that religion and he said that it was great to have a buddhist in our class because then we could learn more about it. That made me feel pretty great. The first thing we did in that class though was go to page 362 in our textbook. On page 362 there were 8 important people that we were going to talk about in the chapter. Th teacher said that we had to pick one of them and write some important facts about them. You could either write facts that you know about them or you could just get facts from the textbook. I chose the "Buddha" or "Siddhartha Gautama". 

After Social Studies my next class was Gym. At Gym there were 3 stations that we were able to pick from and my teacher put us in three groups. Luckily at least one of friends was in my group. The first station was an obstacle course. We had to jump pass two box looking things and then do three hurdles. After that we just ran to the end of the line. The second station was Scooter tag. Whoever picked the orange scooter would be it and everyone at run. It was pretty fun until my friend and I were the only one's actually playing. The third and final station was hula hoops and since I knew how to hula hoop it was easy.

Since nothing else really exciting or interesting that I think you should know happened yesterday I want to talk about what I have done so far today. I woke up at 7:30 A.M and it was actually really bright. I went downstairs because my dad was on his phone in his bed and my sister was sleeping. When I got downstairs the first thing I did was do my hair and then brush my teeth. I didn't really need to brush my hair because I just got a haircut yesterday and it is pretty short. Then I started to do my homework, my homework for today is reading and typing 5 paragraphs. 

When my dad came downstairs he started to brush his teeth and do his hair as well. My sister did the exact same thing as the both of us. With that being said my dad wanted to take all there of us to breakfast outside and we agreed to go to McDonalds. When we got to McDonalds I saw a machine and realized it was that thing tat let you choose whatever you wanted and pay for it with your credit card. However this thing would eliminate jobs for people who need the money and deserve it. Though it was pretty cool. Well thats all I did today. Bye now.

Lincoln Park

For today’s post I am going to talk about what I did yesterday. Yesterday I woke up and heard my aunt in the kitchen. When I went downstairs she was just about to leave so I said goodbye to her. After that I woke up my sister and the two of us had breakfast. For breakfast the two of us had cereal. She got Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I got Chocolate Pebbles. It was really good. When it was 12:00 A.M me and my sister stopped watching TV. Then the both of us went to the playroom and started to do our homework. The both of us were doing our reading. She only had to read 4 chapters while I had to read two chapters of a book called, "Red Star Over Tibet". 
                                                 When the two of us finished reading she continued to watch TV. I had to do my writing homework. After that I joined her in the living room and the both of us were watching the show on the TV. The reason I wasn't using my PS4 was because something happened to my house's internet and my family couldn't use the wifi. The show that we were watching was on Disney because my sister didn't like any other channels. Thats when I got an idea. Since I couldn't get to do something that I wanted by myself, maybe I could trick me sister in letting me use my PS4.
                                                                                        So I stuck with the plan and it actually worked. I turned on my PS4 and played a game called "Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Storm 4". The game that I played didn't require any internet to play so I decided to use it. All I did was simply hand my sister the controller and we starting playing against each other. I continuously beat her at ever character and sooner or later she just raged and gave up. However I still continued to play the game because I really did like it.  The anime is amazing and I don't care wether or not my friends think its trash.
                                                                                                       When my dad got home I showed him my homework and so did my sister. He approved that the both of us did it and we headed to the living room to watch TV (not play the game). He wanted to watch a show called "Fast N Loud", but after a few minutes he just moved on to the next channel until I told him to go to the movie section. Then we started taking little looks at ever movie until I told him to watch "X-Men Apocalypse". I didn't watch the movie yet and even though I'm not a huge fan of superheroes I wanted to see it because it was the only new and modern movie.
                           After about 15 minutes of the movie I asked my da if we could go to Lincoln Park and he said yes. However we weren't going in the car to get there, we had to walk. Because of this I asked him if we could grab our scooters and he said yes. While we were headed to the park my sister and me had little races on our scooters. I had to go slower because my scooter was bigger so it would go faster and she was slow either way. When we got to the park it was open, but there weren't a lot of people there.
                                                                                                            Thats when I decided to go on the Monkey bars. I loved the Monkey bars, it was just so fun and it proved if you could hold yourself. Getting through the Monkey bars to the other side is a challenge to some people so I like to do it. Besides that I also learned to how to climb it and reach the top. It was a bit scary though once I got up because the ground seemed so far away. Then I grabbed the handle and jumped down. I didn't want to do the obstacle course that me and my sister did last time because I had Jordans on and I didn't want to ruin them more than I already have. Finally my dad wanted to go home and the three of us relaxed.

Dream shoes

This weekend was like an epic study moment session where I just spent all of my time just practicing for the ELA EOY, the Math EOY, and the...
