The place I want to go in the US


If i could pick any place to go in the whole United States, it would have to be Fairbanks, Alaska in the winter. During winter in Fairbanks, Alaska you get to witness one of the greatest events to naturally happen in the whole planet. The Aurora Borealis only happens in Alaska during the winter at night. It is something worth to see. Knowing that 
no one put it there and it just appears on its own naturally is amazing and beautiful. I have wanted to go there ever sense my mom told me about it. She has not seen it either but because she want to see it so bad, she made me interested too. That would be the place i would want to go in the United States.

My Dream (thats i would like to have)

My dream would be me and i am kinda of like the boy in the movie Like Mike. I would be really short compared to everyone else but i can jump like Lebron James and dunk like Dwight Howard. At the age of 14 playing in the NBA along with the greatest players in the world like Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade. I am playing on the Miami Heat with "King" James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh. Our team has the best record and were in the Championship game against Kobe Bryant and the reigning champs, the  LA Lakers. The game has been back and forth and its down to 30 seconds in the 4th quarter and we are down by 2. I'm up top wearing down the clock for a last second 3 pointer to win the game just like Michael Jordan. 3...2...1... buzzer. Swish. We win the game and become the champs. That would be my dream

New Semester

Its the second semester of my freshman year at John Carroll. A lot had changed. I made a lot of good friends, gotten used to the way things run around here, and the whole high school experience. In English class we are getting to the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. one of of Shakespeare's best romantic comedies. When we finish that were going to start a story called Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. looking forward to the rest of the year as a freshman,
