I remember waking up crying hysterically. Knowing that my family died because of the nuclear bomb. But I survived. I started yelling, hoping there would be more people who had survived too. But all I heard was the echoing of my voice. I stood up and started walking, there was nothing else I could do. I kept on walking trying to find a place where I can sleep. But everything was destroyed and crumbled on the ground. It was darker and darker. I didn't have anywhere to sleep. Finally I found a building. It's torn down but not as bad as the rest oft he buildings. That is where I spent my first night alone.

The next day I was starving. I knew there wasn't going to be any food to eat since the nuclear bomb destroyed everything. So I decided to walk again, and yelled at the same time just hoping that there would be at least one person alive in the world besides me. Out of no where I heard  something that sounded like light whispers. It was coming from another building. I slowly walked inside just in case it was a crazy animal. But I heard the whispers growing louder and louder. There were four people in the corner crying and whispering everything is going to be okay. The four girls were re-leafed to see me too. But they looked so familiar to me. It was Vanessa, Kayla, Mallory, and Kiara. gave them the biggest hug I ever gave anybody. I squeezed them hard enough that I could fell there rib cages. We all started walking together. We didn't know where but we hoped we would end up getting to food and water. But nothing.

Today is our third day without food or water. We couldn't get up, we didn't have any energy left in us. So we wen't to sleep. But the next day we didn't wake up. I was okay with dieing in my sleep because now I could be able to see my family where ever I go, and hopefully they'll be there too. But I know it's better than trying to survive in a world where there is nothing left to use for survival.

My Great Grandpa...

I still remember the most depressing moment in my family's life. We heard the news through a phone call. I can still see the image in my mind in slow motion. Everyone was in the living room crying.  I kept asking my parents and sister what was going on. But it wasn't until later they told me the words I never imagined I would hear. My great grandpa has moved on. I had a hollow feeling in my heart. I felt empty inside. But what was running through my mind just made it worse.

I still cry about it when ever I hear the song that reminds me of him. I also think about how my family and I were here in the United States, and he was in Mexico when my great grandpa had died, and had to hear it through a phone call. But the worst thing is. I was a baby when he saw me. I don't remember what he looks like, what his voice sounds like. I don't remember anything about him and I hate the idea of that. But it's still nice to know that when he did see me. He loved me, and that's all that matters to me.

Even though my great grandpas passing happened a few years ago. I still get very emotional and cry when ever I talk about it. He will be in my heart always.

Tsunami Disaster In Japan/ Warning of Tsunami's in other locations

We all heard about the terrible tsunami that occurred in Japan on 3/10/11. Well first it was the earthquake then came the tsunami. Can you imagine that even happening. Well when I heard about it in the news I felt so scared for those people having to go through that terrible disaster. But I was relieved when I also heard some people LIVED THROUGH THAT! I really wished I could do something to help those people but for now i guess I can just pray that they will be okay, like my mom told me. On Saturday morning ( 3/19/11 ) my mom told my sister and I that when her and my dad were watching the news the other night on TV. The news reporter person said that there might be a tsunami in New York City and probably in New Jersey!!! The reporter said they don't know what day or what time, but that we need enough food for 3 DAYS!

I got so scared when my mom told me that. The reason why I got really scared was because the things that came to my head when she said that. The first thing that came to my head was 2012. The second thing that came to my head is how when the tsunami happened in Japan, not many people survived or lived. But I guess we deserve it too. I guess it's kind of like now we get a taste of our own medicine because of all the damage that WE'VE been doing to Earth, and Earth is giving it back. My mom was also thinking of running somewhere so we wont be in the tsunami if it does or when it happens. But the thing that my sister told me made me feel better. She said " But we can't just keep running away, because eventually it's going to catch you." Those words that my sister said made me realize that maybe it's for the best if the tsunami's happen, and that we shouldn't run away because even if you don't want to believe it, it going to catch you anyways. But I guess we'll just have to find out on our own when it happens one day.

Students Should Get More Passing Time In School

Us students should get more passing time, when going to our different classrooms. Reason One. In the periods that kids go to their lockers in passing time, they lose more time putting books in taking books out, etc. Which makes us rush to get to class on time. For example when we rush we forget things and teahcers now will not let us go back to our lockers and get what we forgot. This is also a bad thing with not having enough passing time, lets say Bobby forgot his math notebook in his locker with his homework in it! Now he wouldnt be able to get it because he doesnt have enough passing time and his math teacher wont let him.
Reason Two. In between some periods we are allowed to go into our lockers in passing time. Well lets say Bobby had papers in his hand and he just shoved them into his locker because he would be late to his next class. If we had an extended time in passing time he could put the papers into his binder or notebook neatly where his locker wont become a hot mess, and Bobby will never find time to clean up his locker. But if we had a longer passing time he would have enough time to put his paper or other extra things he doesnt nedd in his binder instead of throwing it and crumbling them up in his locker.
Reason Three. Lastly, if we had more passing time we could lock our locker locks really good so other students wouldnt flip them. These are my reasons why students should get more passing time in school.

Turtles... Turtles... TURTLES!





About a week ago, my uncle called and asked me if I wanted a pet turtle. Immediately I said YES. After I hung up, I noticed I don't know anything about taking care of a turtle. So I had to do allot of research. One thing I learned from my research is that female turtles grow twice as large as a male. For example a Painted turtle male can grows up to at least six inches... Imagine how big a female Painted turtle would be.

I also researched what type of food they eat. Turns out it's allot. But the sound of some of them, doesn't seem that appetizing to us. Anyways, after I finished my research. It looks like a bunch of more work than you can think of, for example, how much water they need, what temperature, if it's a Basking Turtle it needs a basking are so it can totally dry off, the food they eat, etc. But hopefully once I get my turtle. I'll be able to handle it.

               Examples Of What Turtles Eat:

•  Lettuce
• Turtle food from store
• Worms
• Waxing Worms
• Dog Food Can... But only for a treat once in a while
• Squash
• Strawberries
• Banana's
• Berries

Freak The Mighty

Freak The Mighty, is the book I read for my book club. It is about how the main characters " Max and Kevin ". When they were in day care they were friends. But one day Kevin, or his nick name "Freak", did not come to day care one day, and Max never saw him again. Until one afternoon Max was in his backyard and saw a moving truck coming up in the driveway  next door, and it was Freak. He had crutches and was very short. Freak was disabled, his insides grow but his outside doesn't, that is why he is short. Later that day Freak went over Max's house, but went home early because his mother got terrified that she didn't find Freak int the backyard where he was suppose to be.

After that everything was good. Later throughout the book, Max and Freak go on allot quests ( that's what Freak calls theres adventures). On one of their " Quests" Freak showed Max a hospital. Freak told Max that in that in that  hospital Dr. Spivak  will be making a robot body for him. Which meant the doctor would replace his body for a robot body, but it will work exactly like a regular body, but it just takes time to get used to and how to control.  Everyday they would be going on these journeys, and one of them was going to the park, to celebrate Fourth of July, by watching the fireworks. But what happened was while the fireworks ended, Tony D and his gang were talking to Freak and Max, but seemed like they wanted to start something. So as Max put Freak on his shoulders, Freak directed Max where to run so Tony D and his gang wouldn't catch up to them. But Max has only then noticed he had stepped in the mud, and started to sink, and Tony D and his gang started to throw rocks at them but did not succeed. After that the cops came and stopped all the nonsense.

 But then came Christmas Eve. Everything started just fine. Grim, Gram ( Max's grandparents ), Freak, and the Fair Gwen ( Freak's nick name fro his mother ) all went over Max's house for Christmas Eve. But on the night of Christmas Eve when Max went to sleep, he felt this cold breeze ( he lives in the basement and calls it "the down under" ) but the only cold breeze he felt was of someone breathing. It was his father. His father was sent to jail for killing his wife, Max's mother. He takes Max under a streetlight an talks to him. Next he takes him to Loretta Lee's and Iggy's house ( people from the town ), and Killer Kane ( Max's father's nick name ) tied Max up to him just to make sure he wouldn't run away. But instead Iggy took them into an old Lady's abandoned house, the cops almost caught them so Killer Kane took Max to an old burned Testament building. He tied up Max to a pipe, while waiting for Iggy to rent him a car so Max and him could live together on the road.

A few minutes later Max heard some foot steps. It was Loretta Lee. Last time him and Freak accidentally found her purse and she was really fresh with them and so was Iggy. But as she pointed the light from her flashlight on Max, she told him she was here to help him get out while Iggy distracted Killer Kane with the car. As soon as she finished untying him, Killer Kane came right from behind her and started choking her to death! He kept squeezing her neck so hard every time, it seemed as if he was sucking the light out of her very slowly. As soon as Max saw his dad do that he had a flashback remembering that it was his dad who killed his mom. He remembers what he was wearing, and how he choked her, and ended up killing her! Max got up quickly and started telling him to stop, and tried to take his hands off Loretta, but his dad was so strong that he couldn't. So  he started yelling " I know you killed mom daddy ", " Stop it your going to kill her!". Max kept repeating how he saw how his dad killed his mom. As soon as Killer Kane heard that he grabbed Max by the neck, it was if he was choking him too! But then cam Freak out of no where. Killer Kane released Max. Freak said that his water gun was filled with a colorless acid. Killer Kane believed him. But as soon as Freak sprayed him in the eyes, Killer Kane started rubbing them so hard. But it was actually water, vinegar, and Currey powder in the water gun. Freak has saved Max's life. Loretta was alive but sent to the hospital. Max had bruises on his neck, so went to the Hospital and back to the police station.

Everyone was so terrified of what had happened. Freaks mom was mad because he also could have gotten into danger. But now Max has to sleep upstairs fro safety. That night Grim got a call saying that Killer Kane has been plead guilty, and will be in prison for 10 years. It was Freaks Birthday now. And he had a Birthday party with Max, Grim, Gram, and his mom. Freak didn't eat much, he also didn't eat his cake that much. But when he saw the lap top that he really wanted, that Max gave him, he started showing Grim how to play 3D chess, while everyone else helped clean up in the kitchen. But after a few minutes Grim yelled " Freak!", and they all knew that wasn't a good sign. When they went into the living room. Gwen ( Freak's mom ) said he was having a seizure. At that minute they dialed 9-11.

When Max went to go visit Freak he had to go through allot of doors and hallways to get to him. When he went into his room he just saw Freak lying there on the bed with tubes that went into him. Freak gave Max a new book. But it was empty. Freak has told Max before he had to leave, to fill this book with all their adventures written inside of it. When Max went home he woke up early enough the next morning to go visit Freak and come back home just in time for breakfast. When he got into the hospital, and into the room where they kept Freak. There were a bunch of nurses crying everywhere he looked. Finally one of them came up to Max and ask if he was Max. and when he said yes. The nurse just left crying. He could already tell what had happened. He went running through the halls to get to his room. He broke a glass window in order to get there, but couldn't brake through a regular door. Cops came around him, and finally Dr. Spivak came to him and started talking to him. Max had asked her why she used him for the robot body. She told him that Freak only said hat so you wouldn't worry. He looked up his disorder in his Dictionary and knew he wasn't going to live a long life. His heart has gotten to big for his body.

Max was really upset. He didn't go to the funeral, or said bye to Gwen who has moved to California and has a boyfriend now. But he came outside one day and saw Loretta Lee. She was wearing a neck brace because of the injury. But she has told something to Max that changed his way of thinking. And before you knew it he felt better, and started writing the adventures Freak The Mighty has had ( Freak The Mighty is what they had called each other )

I recommend this book to readers who like drama, suspense, and mysterious books. I really liked it. In the beginning it was hard to understand, but as you read through it you'll understand it better.

                                                                                                    

Disobeying Your Parents

It was a beautiful day outside, the sun was out, the birds were chirping, and I had planned to go to the park with my friends. After I finished my homework and ate dinner, I asked my mom if I could hangout with my friends. " I don't know, maybe " said my mom with a little annoyed tone in her voice. " But I need an answer now " I responded in a bratty voice. I stomped my feet against the carpet on my way to my room. Under my breath I whispered to myself  *Its not fare, I haven't gone out all week, and I'm bored at home right now*. I was so frustrated with my mom that day I didn't feel like talking to her. After i took my shower, I kept asking my mom why i couldn't hangout with my friends. She kept saying the same thing. " Because I told you that you cant hangout ". I didn't want to hear no for answer, but shes my mom so I had to listen to her. But all I did for the rest of the night is keep asking WHY... At 8:00 or so I asked my mom one last time. I was surprised when she said I could. I literally felt my frown turn upside down.


When I came back home, I told my mom I was sorry. I felt bad for what I did to make her upset. But now I know if my parents say I cant go or do something I should keep my mouth closed and just agree with them, no matter how much I want to do or go somewhere/ something. I also know not to get my mom or dad mad at me because then they take away some of my privileges. Now I will try to listen to them.
