I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY

  I remember when I was born, I was only 1.5kg. I was literally so tiny when I was a baby. So my mother really took care of me when I was a baby. She read a lot of books about how to raise a baby and ask a lot of doctors in order to let me grow healthily. 

  Then she found out, if she continued to work, she wouldn't have time to be with us. So she quitted her job. But as my dad said, my mother used to be a workaholic. She used to do an excellent job when she worked. She quitted her favorite job just because she wanted to be with us. 

  when I was a child, my mom thought that I should learn music and sports, so she sacrificed her personal time to send us to the academies. She seriously did  a lot for her children.

   So I am glad I am here that I won't give her any troubles that she can have her personal life, and do something that she loves. So mom, I want you to be happy!!!!!

I have a dream

  I have a dream that all students all over the world can go to school. In China, there are some students in rural area might have chance to go to school. Maybe their parents can not afford their tuition fee. Maybe their family has too many children, and only the oldest one can go to school. Maybe their parents want them work to earn money for their family. Maybe their parents is sick, so they need to support their family, so they can't go to school. I really don't like it. Although Chinese government forbid children to work,  minority of them still work illegally. Although it is illegal to work when you are a child, some of them are still doing it. When my father was facing the opportunity to go to university. His sister and brother were in the university, so his family couldn't t afford his tuition. They want he to support his family. But he finally receive a scholarship and went to the university he wanted to go. If my father didn't have a chance to go to university. I can't imagine what my father will do for his career. I hope everybody has equal chance to go to school. Everybody will have chance to do what they want to do.

The best winter I have ever had

  This winter is the best one I have ever I had.
  First, I  ate a lot of Chinese food that I like. I hadn't eaten traditional Chinese food for 6 months before that. I really missed Chinese food. So I ate a lot Chinese food with my parents. I ate hot pot, I ate Beijing duck, and spicy food. I also went to my favorite Japanese restaurant, I ate soba, udon, and Japanese hot pot. I also went Korean barbecue. The food I ate was super good. So this was a really good part of my vacation.
  Second, I went to 2 concerts. One was a new year concert, another one was concert for Joe Hisashi music. Joe Hisashi is my favorite musician. So I was really happy. We enjoyed the concerts very much!!!!!!!!!!!
  Third, I received a lot of good birthday presents from my family members and my friends!!!
  Forth, the best thing was I could be with my parents. And we celebrated the new year together.
  All in all, I had a really winter vacation.
 

5 people that I want to thank

Who should I thank for? There are a lot of things I need to thank for. But there are 5 people I thank the most.
First people I will thank are my parents. They offer me a wonderful opportunity to study in the Webb school. They support me, they take care of me, they love me, and they correct me. They are the guides of my life. They don’t really restrict me; they let me live in a world fulfilled with freedom. But they will help me to set goals, we will set a plan together. Of course, they will blame on me some time because they want me to live in a right way. They will support me in the back; they let me live in a world without a lot of worries. I thank them a lot. They sacrifice for my brother and me a lot. I really appreciate!Second people I will thank are my friend. I study in America alone. I am not with my parents; I am not with my grandparents. I feel really depressed some time. But I am not alone. My friends and I will go downtown for dinner; we will cook together during the spring festival. Also, they will give me some good suggestions. I feel like we are a family. People help each other, and people treat each other really nice. I really like that! Thanks all my friends!!!!!!Third, I think I want to thank all the teachers. Teachers are so nice here. Teachers can understand me, and help me. Teachers here don’t care about how much effort or time they put in, they just want to make sure we learn some thing, and we didn’t get lost. They treat us really nice, and they spend their personal time to help us. This is really different from my old school. Teachers and students are really close.
Forth, I think I should thank my roommate. She is definitely me friend, but she is a special friend of mine because she is my roommate. Jamie is a really pretty and lovely girl. We might talk about some gossips together, or we might eat together. Both of us are really easy to get hungry. So we always share food, and eat together. Both of us are not really easy to wake up, so we always wake each other up. I hurt myself some time, and she helps me to put Band-Aid on. Thanks her so much for being such a wonderful roommate!!!!!!!!!Fifth, I think I will thank to my brother Alston. We always fight with each other, but we are really good friends. For example, we will go downtown with other friends together. We will watch drama together. I really have a lot to say to thank him; I don’t even know how to start. All in all, we are really good twins. 

My three goals by the end of the year

  I have 3 goals for this year. They can inspire me. 

  

  First,I want to be in A Honor roll. I really want to be in the A Honor roll because it can show your attitude toward the academy. Get all A also means you really work hard on your work. You pay attention during the classes, and you also put effort in your school work. It can also show you review what you learn. 

   

  Second, I want to improve my violin skills. I really love to play the violin. Playing the violin can make me feel better. When I feel really depressed, I will play the violin. Although some time I feel really disappointed in the strings class, I still love to play the violin. I cannot play the violin really well, but I am enjoy doing that.

    

  Third, I want to be in the Varsity team of tennis. I played tennis in the summer, and I kind of work hard on it. I really want to play in tennis match because you can figure out your problems through match.But if I play in the junior varsity team, I cannot play in the match. So I think I will work harder, and get into the varsity team.

 

  I have another goal that I have already achieved. I want to get a pr of 28 minutes in Cross Country. I really did that!!!!! My pr was really close to 27 minutes, and I am really happy about that!!! On the other hand, I can run 3 miles without any stopping. 

   They are my 4 goals, I will work harder and try to achieve these goals. 

How the Jack-o-Lantern got its smile

  When Lily becomes a junior, she takes Biology class with Dr. Broadhead. She works so hard, and she stayes with the plants they study in her class all the time. When the Halloween comes, Dr. Broadhead gives them a homework to plant some pumpkins. She plants pumpkins with Amber and Corrina. Lily works super hard on this home work, so do Corrina and Amber. Every day Lily will go to see the pumpkins. She tells anything to the pumpkins. Lily is a cute girl, she loves to laugh. When she talks to the pumpkins, she always laughs with them. Lily will laugh when Corrina waters the pumpkins. She will laugh when Amber touches the pumpkins. She laughs all the time. The pumpkins grow bigger and bigger. "Why they have some strange carves on the pumpkins?" Amber asked. "I don't know, maybe they have some different colors on it," Lily said. After a while, the pumpkins are bigger and bigger, their weights are lighter than other normal pumpkins. Lily shows to Dr. Broadhead, and Dr. Broadhead said she has never seen that kind of stuff before. The curves become more deeper, we can kind of see the stuff inside. The stuff inside becomes drier and drier, Then nothing inside. One day, when Amber goes to water the pumpkins, she discoveres their are big smiling faces on the pumpkins. And their smiles look exactly like Lily's.
  Amber texted Lily and Corrina, Corrina then run to Dr. Broadhead's office and tells her the news. Dr. Broadhead drives Corrina there, she really wants to know what just happened. Lily and Amber are waiting for them at the Pumpkins lands. Dr. Broadhead discovers the curves on the pumpkins are naturally because they were affected by Lily a lot. These why Jack-o-Lantern got its smile.
  After that, Dr. Broadhead writes a report about that, and Lily becomes famous. Lily also wins a lot of rewards because of that. Amber and Corrina are really happy about that!!!!!!!

My time capsule

  Time capsule means you put some thing really really important to you during that period of time, and you can check later. And you will check after a period of time, and you will know what did you do when you put your stuff into the time capsule.
  
  If my teacher asks me to create a time capsule, I think I will put my uniform in my time  capsule because I want to show myself I am in  the Webb School right now, and I am proud of my school! I think I will put some Shin Noodle in the time capsule because I really love that! I think I will put my Iphone in it, I want to show myself about what electronic service I am using. Also I will put some photo of Japaness food in it because I don't think real food can save for  10 years. I will also put my tennis racket it the time capsule, I want to show myself, tennis is one of my favorite sports. I want to put my Cross Country uniform in my time capsule, I can do long-distance running, this what I have never thought before. I am proud of myself. Also I will put some photos of Chicken Strips and Honey Master in the time capsule. Those are my favorite American food now! And I will write a letter to myself, I will talk about what  my dream job is etc. I will put my budget in it, in order to show myself how much money I spend each week. I won't put any photo because I will keep them, they are my babies! 

  Those things I listed above are my favorite!
