Gratitude List

Gratitude List

          Wow...the year has gone by fast! Now it's almost THANKSGIVING?!?! Oh my God! Well, anyways, there are a lot of things I am thankful for this year. So many that I can't name everything! The first thing I am thankful for is my family. They have been with me since I was born, and they help me every step of the way. I would NEVER let go of them. 
          The second thing I am thankful for is a good school education. My old school wasn't the best...mostly just reading a chapter, taking notes, then take a test. I mean, people might say it's good, but it's SO HARD! You could have a test for every period in ONE DAY there! Now that I go to Golf Middle School, things are much easier! I have done much better, and there is less stress than my old school. 
          The third and final thing I am thankful for is all the gifts my family have given me. See, I am lucky to have a family with enough money to buy thinks, like flat screen TVs, Mac Computers, iPhones, and much more! Right now, I am hoping to get an HTC Vive (Virtual Reality Headset), which costs about 1,000 DOLLARS!!! I doubted myself and said "I can't get this! It's too much money", but my mom said "I'll look at it", and I freaked OUT!
          I am so lucky to have all of these things in my life, and I never want to lose them!

Food, Glorious Food

Food, Glorious Food

          One day, my family and I went to a Chinese place, Gong, in Mexico (we went to Mexico during the week of Christmas). It was late at night, so we were VERY tired, especially my sister and my cousins. Turns out, one of my cousins, Grant, fell asleep, starving and tired. Once we got there, we ordered the food right away, but it felt like HOURS before the food actually came!!

          Cousin (Maya): I'm STARVING

          Me: I REALLY hope the food comes soon...

          Sister (Kendall): It better! I need food!

10 minutes later

          Mom: If the food doesn't come soon, we are leaving.

          Maya: I am SOOO hungry, I could eat my plate!

          Kendall: We can just take the leather off of it!

          Me: Good idea!

          See, we were so hungry, that we could tear the leather off the plates and eat it. But after we started to grab knives (VIOLENT), the food ACTUALLY came! I was so thankful at that point, along with Kendall and Maya. We SCARFED all the food down.

          Later, my grandma tried to wake Grant up so he could eat. He was partly awake when my grandma lightly moved him.

          Grandma: Grant, let's eat!

          Grant: No...(drowsy)

          Grandma: Come on, it's rice! You love rice!

          Maya: Grant, do you want your rice now?

          Grant: *Falls over, waves hand, goes to sleep*

          Everyone: *Laughs*

          Now, ever since that day, whenever someone says what Maya said to Grant, he RUNS away and yells "NO". I will never forget that day, especially when I eat rice. Rice is now one of my favorite foods because of this moment.
