I was born on December 15 but I was not given right away, 9 days later. Which was Christmas Eve. I was basically an early present to my parents because I was given before actual Christmas day. It was hard to believe at first until everyone started to bring it up and told me everything about it as well.

A Ride On The Red Wagon Age 2-5

When I went to pre-school by El Salvador Park. I remember I would get picked up by my older and younger cousin in a wagon. My younger cousin that was about a year and a half older than me would sit inside the wagon with me. Me and him would talk and play with toys that my older cousin would bring from home. It would take us about an hour to get home because we would go through the river bank. But once we got home my grandma would have food ready for us and we would get to eating.

The Good Old Friends Age 6-8

When I was in elementary school I made my first friend the first day of school, his name was Steven. I then later go on making more friends all the way until the middle segment of first grade. I made new best friends, they were called David, Derrick, and Joshua. One of them still continues to be friends with to this day. Which is David, me and him have been friends for almost 9 years now. The other two, Joshua I don't talk to him much, and Derrick just "disappeared' after COVID-19 he never returned to my elementary school.

A Great Disaster Age 9-12

I was 11. I remember one day, a Sunday to be exact it was a ordinary Sunday that I would go play soccer. I go to my game and we start to warm up before the game begins. Suddenly when we're by the goal net my teammate decides to jump and hang on it. It collapses. Boom. It falls down on my wrist and is on top of my wrist, having to lift it up with one arm. I wait and wait for my parents to arrive since they dropped me off that specific day because they had to go somewhere, they arrive. I arrive at the ER, the doctors do some x-rays. Good news it's not broken just fractured. My summer was ruined I had to wear a cast for 2 months.

A Hefty Way To Mexico Age 12-14

I remember I went on a trip to Mexico for my very first time. It was a very unique experience because not only did we go to Mexico but the way getting there was unique in a way. We got to the airport they tell us that the flight was changed on our phones but the attendant said it was for the next day, not that day. Good thing they changed our flight to that day but we had to wait until 2 in the morning to board our flight. Once in Mexico, the experience was a 10/10 especially the food and the environment as well, people were so nice. I also went rabbit hunting with my cousins and we caught one rabbit. We also caught an iguana.

Memorable Event From 8th Grade

A memorable event from last year was when we went on an 8th grade field trip to Knott's Berry Farm. I remember I went on Silver Bullet for the first time and it was one to remember. Three of my teachers got on the ride with me and my four friends. It was the best day ever that day, we went on almost every ride as well.

Being A Great Person This Summer

A memorable event from this summer was watching Superman and The Fantastic 4 movie with my friends. I remember how inspired to do a good deed to someone after watching the Superman movie. The Fantasitc 4 movie was great as well especially when Johnny unraveled the "secret" language Shalla-Bal was speaking.

A New Beginning

450753_1 — 2025-08-18 06:00:09 UTC

A memorable event from the first day of school was finding out and getting to know about my teacher. Getting to know who my classmates were going to be for the rest of the year. Also this isn't on the first day of school even though we got pizza for lunch that day, trying the infamous spicy chicken sandwich for the first time! Other than that the first day of school was great and getting to know what campus is going to be for the next four years.
