the best day ever

The Time I Got Caught Stealing A bike

I won’t ever ever ever ever forget about the time I got caught stealing a bike from a owner who was very mean. This all happened on a beautiful summer day there was no school, and nothing to do. So I decided it was a good day to head over to my friend’s house. When I got there we ended up having so much fun we played basket ball football, and played some video games, this was one of the greatest days of my life, but who knew that this perfect day was going to end up going down the drain. And this all started when me and my friend felt that it was a good day to take a walk, And this was a long time ago when I had the biggest afro in the world so it was really easy for people to identify me. But anyways while we were walking I saw a nice bike that was lying on the grass of someone’s front yard, so me being as stupid as I was I took it. And all the odds went against me because at the same exact time I took the bike the owner was pulling up into the drive way, and my reaction was dropping the bike and running, and the scariest part about it was that the owner was chasing me with the car so again me being the stupid person I attempted to throw a rock at the windshield but missed so that made the owner real mad. And again because I was so stupid I ran to my own house and ran inside. 3 seconds later the doorbell rang and my mom answered it, the owner of the bike said “one of your sons stole my bike, my mom asked which won and the owner said “the one with the afro”. And right way my mom screamed my name, and as I came down the stairs me heart was about to pound out of my chest. My Mom looked at me and asked me if I had tried to steal a bike and at that same exact moment I thought about lying but then I realized that it would have made things worse for me so I just said Yes. When my mom asked why I shrugged my shoulders and just ran to my room, because I had already knew that I was going to be going there any way’s. And every since that day I promised myself that I would never attempt to steal anything ever again.

If I were Brought Back To Gateway 15 Years From Now

If I were brought back to gateway 15 years later I would hope that I accomplished something very good. For example the business bonanza, all of the people who came to be a guest speaker accomplished something, the accomplishments were all different but the point is that all of them had something to do about the things they had accomplished. If I were to come back I hope it would be because of my intelligence, and how it helped me become a great doctor. How me Henock Tesfay has came back to talk about how I became what I was, and what I did to get there. I would probably try to tell a interesting story that would relate to my accomplishments, just so I wouldn’t bore my audience. But in order for me to tell this story I would actually had to have done something that would have brought me to that point. So it would have to obviously start here my freshmen year. Which means no failed classes throughout high school, no ditching, and to continue with athletics and other clubs. One of the biggest things I probably would have to do is to get prepared for college. Because that’s where most of life’s accomplishments happens. So that would mean that I would have to sign up for some AP classes towards my junior/senior year, and Another thing I would do is try to finish at the top 15 in my class because I know that it is something colleges are looking for in a student. And after I do all that and move on to start college I know that I am already prepared. And that is where most of my accomplishments will start to happen. So if I were to go back to gateway, everything I just talked about would be the story I would tell the students. But my main topic would be about getting prepared for anything. Even though I tend to get nervous speaking in front of big audiences (big audiences =15 or more people) I would want to be able to answer lots of questions so I don’t leave any students confused or wondering about certain stuff, And I would finally tell them that my final accomplishment was becoming a doctor. But I would also mention that another big accomplishment for me was being able to come back to gateway and tell my story.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters that have happened on earth. This natural disaster took place in most of New Orleans, and part of Mississippi. But the worst part was the number of kills, and the effects after which were really bad. I had a friend who came all the way from New Orleans, to Colorado because of the hurricane. He said that his whole entire house was flooded with water and that he had no place to stay so they decided to come to the mile high city. But he was not the only person I knew who went through Hurricane Katrina but one of my dad’s friends from work said that he was out of town during the time hurricane Katrina happened, and again for the same reason he decided to stay up here because we are the mile high city. But those were the only stories I personally heard. There wasn’t anything anyone could do when the hurricane was on its way, but to evacuate the whole entire city, and those who remained decided to stay either in their own homes or the superdome a stadium that is home to the New Orleans Saints.

But the scary part of the tragedy did not happen until the hurricane was finished. There was an estimated death higher then 2000, but only 1300 bodies were recovered. The worst part was how much water was in the city, and New Orleans is a city known to having the lowest sea level on earth. This caused Dams to break and water to come pouring in. It took quite a while for the city of New Orleans to start its road to recovery, but when they did they did a very good job. But this would not have happened without the help of many people around the world. Congress has provided the city of New Orleans 16.7 billion dollars, with the help of repairing the city. But tell this day you will find about thousands of homes that still remain a banded from its owners. But the worst part about it is that there is no one to punish for all of the deaths that has happened during that terrible tragedy, because this was a natural disaster not a actual person, so that is why I think that we as citizen need to be more aware of what is coming at us, and to stay strong for what may come in the future.

My Least Faviort Places

The first place I would not want to visit is New York, Yes I said New York City, which usually are in people's Top 10 list. Well it was actually my No. 1 city in the world for a few years. After my family lived there they found out that life there can be very, very difficult. And as an extremely unlucky as I was, I had experienced all types of bad things in that big bad city including getting robbed on when I was four in my own house by a drunk man who did not even know what he was doing. Maybe I still love New York, but that is the most painful love you can imagine to someone just doesn't love you back.Los Angeles A city with a high crime rate and serious racial problems this city still had race related riot. And that they may have caused the whole Ohio went to Bush in 2004 and, brings more wars to the world. Difficult to get around by public transportation and even more unsafe to walk around.
Philadelphia city important in US history but only very small core of it is worth visiting. Crime rate is high, streets are dirty, and nightlife sucks. While it is called City of Brotherly Love, people there are actually no friendlier than New York and Boston. Now they think they are so cool they can be the sixth borough of New York City. I can honestly tell you that phalli is a city you do not want to go to. I visited when I was 7 and really had a bad time, Like almost getting beat up by an adult, or having bad waiters, phalli is not the place to be. Hong Kong is another place I don’t want to visit. They pretend to be Portuguese while the only thing Portuguese is a rundown ruined gate. The only time my cousin’s visited the place they were tricked into a souvenir shop by our taxi driver to buy inferior North Korean ginsengs. And I wont ever forget about the time my aunty told me about that story it had me shaking for a while. Possibly the most dangerous city in East Europe and definitely the most avoided capital in Europe . Kid napped kids, lying taxi drivers, stray dogs, and fake police...etc. Sound like a very frightening place,thats why i never plan on even going to that place.

GODZILLA The Movie

In the 1990s Godzilla was released similar to the American version known as Godzilla, King Of The Monsters. On the front cover it instead of using the Godzilla from the movie, they used the Godzilla from Terror of Mechagodzilla . I think that the cover said a lot about Godzilla and all it was is godzilla holding a train car in his hand, he stands in front of a city skyline. The title of the movie is cut in two parts. The first part,Godzilla , is located at the top, mixed with caps and lower-cased light green letters. The second part, King Of The Monsters, is located across the bottom, all in caps colored in red and with a yellow outline.On the each side of the box is the title of the movie, all in black. Godzilla’s name in the title is written like the one on top of the front cover.On the back of the cover, in the background, is a ge city skyline. If you look closely at the buildinigs on both the front and back cover, you can see that they are the same. The title of the movie is cut into two parts again. Godzilla is located under the summary, and is written and colored like the one on the front cover. King Of The Monsters is located at the left side, all in caps, and colored in black. On top of the back cover, there are the words Hail To The King, colored in black.One thing to note in the summary is that it states this film has spawned twenty sequels. Depending on exactly when this VHS was released in it could have actually been twenty-one although it is more likely that since Godzilla vs. Destoroyah was released in December of that year that there were only twenty fullyreleased sequels at the point this VHS was released. Fifty years ago the Japanese Defense Forces killed Godzilla or so they though.t When a series of natural disasters begin to plague Japan including the inexplicable offshore sinking of a U.S. submarine a mystic old man warns his nation that Godzilla has come back to destroy Japan as revenge for all the souls lost in the Pacific War. When mere military might can not squash the monster the mystic man awakens the Holy Beasts of Yamato King GhidorahTM Mothra and BaragonTM sleeping giants that protected Japan in ancient times.

How Me And My Family Spend to much Money.

If I had to choose a thing my family spends to much money on I would probably pick to many vacations. Me and my family by average take about 2 vacations per year, and to me that is a little to much. By average 1 vacation for my whole entire family would cost about 600$ because we go by plane. And if we take 2 vacations per year then the price would be doubled, which is 1200. Which to me is money out the window because I think that we should spend some of our vacations just relaxing at home? The first vacation me and my family had was 4 years ago in the summer when we went to las Vegas to visit some of our family members. Now I think that vacation might have been okay because this is family who we haven’t seen in a very long time. Another vacation that I think might have been okay is when we went to Canada before the start of this year, because there was a big wedding that we really had to attend. And these were family that have not have seen me since I was 2 years of age. So that little vacation might have been okay. A vacation that I think was not necessary was when we went half way around the world to my country which is Ethiopia. The reason I think that vacation was not necessary was because there was not even a special; event planned, like a wedding or exc. And the total cost was about 3000$ for that trip. I am not saying that me and my family can’t go an vacations, but I think we should go about once a year rather than going 2-3 times. But regardless to the cost I really enjoy spending time with my family.
