2017

This year of  2017, I want to try new sports like basketball or volleyball.The good thing is I already found a team to play volleyball on and are team name is “Wrecking Crew”.We have already played one tournament and our next tournament is coming up soon.I was working on getting my serve over the net, but I have it over the net now its just that I have to hit it over constantly.I play the two spots that are 5 and 6 which is left back and center back.Now this spring i’m going to being looking for a basketball team to play on.I hope I can find a team that has good coaches,and has really competitive girls on the team  that are willing to play intense.This is one of my main New Year goal and I hope I can complete it. Happy New Year to everyone.

Pearl Harbor

I think that Pearl Harbor was a very sad and tragic day.It really made Americans lower their heads and look down for a while.I think that it was unexpected and we weren’t prepared.Even though it might have made us all sad, America stood back up and fought that wore and, even though that knocked America off their feet we became stronger.It was also very sad because of all the Americans that had died even innocent Americans had died.Lots of people say that the Japanese woke up a sleeping Giant.I just wanted to say that it was a very tragic day and that I thank the Americans that fought in that war to keep Americans and America safe and standing strong.

The Kid Who Ran For President

The story about “The Kid Who Ran For President”is based on a kid who was twelve years old and was running for president of the United States.Most of the kids and some grownups wanted him to become President but then again some kids and a lot of grownups didn’t want him to become president .He was running for president as a joke but his friend lane wanted him to run for president for real so he could actually become president.At the end of the story he became president and told everybody he wasn’t a Democrat or a Republican but that he was just there as President to help the world become a better and safer place.

The reason why I like this book is because it had you on the edge, excited to read more and know if he became president.
