Field Trips

     The most memorable moment for me when I went to the field trip was when we went to Camp McClain last year in seventh grade. We did fun activities such as archery, rick climbing, and team building. The most exciting one was the archery because we could challenge our friends to who can get a bulls eye first. But our accuracy sucks. So it took us a while to get it.
     When it was time for breakfast and lunch, the food was amazing. We ate like grilled cheese, salad, and tacos. We also had pop such as sprite and coke to drink.
     Next at the end of the day we played capture the flag. There was two teams. Team Yellow and Team Orange. I was on team orange with a couple of my friends. Then finally Joey apprehended the Yellows team flag, but people on then other team said they tagged him, but he didn't get out. I didn't see what happened so I didn't know if someone actually tagged him or they're just saying that so they wouldn't lose.
     Finally we went back to our cabin and we brushed our teeth and started to talk and hang out. We were probably up till 2 am and finally Mr. Carris told us to go to bed. It was a fun day and can't wait till the next day.

Diary Blog Post (Hockey Championship)

March 6, 2016

Dear Diary,

Today is our championship game. We are currently seeded as number one is the league. I arrived 45 minutes before our game, and everybody on my team was already there dressed into their jerseys.

It was 3 o'clock, and the manager from the NIHL Wolves Cup came in to our locker room to escort us to the bleachers. We headed to the entrance of the ice and we were given roses to give to our mother's when the announcer announces your name.

After we gone through everybody on our team and the other team we had to stand on the blue line to listen to the Star Spangled Banner as someone sings. When the Star Spangled Banner was over to started to warm up before our game.

The puck drops and we are going at it. We were 5 minutes into the period and one of our player scored the first goal for us. We are up 1-0. Few minutes later our captain won the face off and skated into the zone and he dangled two defense man and shot it glove side and scored a amazing goal.

Second period started and we scored right off the face off again. But the team answered right back to score a goal. It was 3-1. We were still in this. Last time we played this team, we let up and they were able to score a goal with only 12 seconds let in the period and tied the game. Our coach said "Don't let up again and don't let these guys get into your heads."

Third period began and we were 12 minutes into the period. Then it was 30 seconds, then it was 10 seconds, 5,4,3,2,1. We threw our helmets, gloves, and stick into the air and skated to our goalie and hugged him so hard that he couldn't even breathe. We just won the championship! We received a 1st place banner and we took a team photo. That was the best day of my life.

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

(from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas, page 70)

                 Last year my great grandmother just passed away. She was 99 years old. My dad loved his grandma and he had to go to her funeral in California. Unfortunately my mom and I couldn't go, but my dad loved his grandma and was able to go. My dad was gone for about three to four weeks to California and he probably hadn't seen his brothers, sisters and his parents for over six years or so. The last time my dad met his family member was when my parents and I went to his sisters wedding six years ago.
                 My dad was gone for about four weeks and he was able to bond with his family members. When he was in California he lived with his brother, and till this day my dad talks to his brothers and sisters everyday on the phone. My dad's planning to go to California again this summer for a couple weeks just for vacation and to meet his family members again.

NIHL Wolves Cup (Hockey Tournament/ Playoffs)

The Wolves Cup is a playoff tournament and your playing for a division title. Our team is currently the number one seed, and we have also won The President's Cup Banner for having the best record in our division. We just played a sixteen seed team and a ninth seed team, and we beat them 6-1 and
6-3. We also just played a fourth seed team in the semi finals. The score was 4-0. Heading to this weekend, we would be playing the seventh seed team in the championship game. Before the game, there is going to be an announcer to announce your name and you would be able to give flowers to your parents. Our team is pumped for our championship game and we are hoping to get first place in the playoffs.

This picture was taken when were in Holland, Michigan. We were in the finals playing a team that was #56 in the state of Indiana. This team was really good. We played this team the day before the championship, and we got crushed 5-1. But in the championship we played our best hockey. We tied the Indy Strong(Other team) 2-2 in the third period, so we had to go to overtime. It was a 4 on 4. The referee made the worst call on us. He called "Hooking". When clearly we stole the puck away from him and the guy flopped. So it was a 4 on 3. About 40 seconds into the penalty kill, one of the Indy Strong player scored the game winning goal. And we lost 3-2 in overtime in the championship game. If that referee didn't make that bad call, I think that we should have won the game. Finally we got our metal and shook hands with the other team and got a team photo of second place in the tournament.

Meiosis Alien

My alien name is Pablo. He has short hair and two toes. He also have really big thumbs and small fingers. Pablo loves to cook food for his family. He loves to make pasta. That is his favorite dish to make for the family. Even though he has big thumbs and small fingers he can still cook for the family. But the most challenging obstacle he has is using a phone. Since his thumbs are huge it is very difficult for him to make a call or text his friends. But he never complains and always have a good attitude.

Food

.  

Cauliflower. I despite cauliflower. When I was little maybe around nine years old I used to LOVE cauliflower. And plus my mom said that cauliflower is really good for you. Then one day my grandma made cauliflower for dinner. And everybody loved it. EVEN I LOVED IT! I was full already and didn't want to eat anymore. But my mom said " Just eat it it's good for you." So I ate it. During that night I couldn't sleep. I felt like I was going to throw up. So I went to the bathroom, and next thing you know I threw up. And my mom came into my room to see what was going on, but to only see me throwing up. My mom said "It's ok. Go back to sleep." Then about an hour later I wasn't feeling too good. I went to the bathroom again and next thing you know I threw up again. I threw up twice in an hour. On that day forward I never ate cauliflower again.
