Reading

"The due date for the book report is Monday September 27,2010." Mrs. Frederick told the class. It was the 17th and I hadnt finished my book, I only needed 60 more pages. I knew I could finish that in a day or two, so I told myself that once I got home I would read the rest of the book, it didn't happen. the whole weekend I read a total of 5 pages.
Last year we had to read 4 books in Spanish class I read one, and the once quarter that I did read the book my grades where great. So my plan is to finish the book Wendsday September 22, and the report on Thursday and Friday. This has changed me by making me more responsible and more aware of my duties.

"Alejandro did you read?" my mom questioned, I quickly responded yes even though it wasn't true. She suspiciously looked at me knowing I was lieing I and went to her room. I am saved I thought so I went on my computer and listened to music. After a while a got bored and started on my math homework it too was boring so I searched on google for help. Suddenly my mom storms into my room and asks me questions about the book I was shocked and read random stupid answers at the end she said I got everything wrong. I was embarrassed and grounded. Now I know to obey my mom

Life isn’t Just Fun and Games

By:

Alejandro Amado

Saturday night Brian and I went to the mall, we intentionally planned to watch a movie but the tickets where sold out, so we bought a baby football and threw it in the mall. It would soon be 1:00 am so I had to call my mom to pick us up, but Brian convinced me to stay another hour. While Brian and I threw the ball, we started to talk to the mall cops.

We talked about each others life, and then the mall cop brought up the topic of when we grow up. He told us that unlike him who has to earn every penny to support his family, we are probably going to inherit a business or a company, I think he was trying to tell us that we where spoiled and that we shouldn’t throw a ball in the mall. This experience has changed me because I am now more grateful for what I have, and I see what a lot of people have to go through every day to support their family.

Read and Write

Alejandro!" I heard my mom shout, took a deep breath and walked to her.

"Yes mother?" I answered.

"Have you done your reading yet?"

"Of course mother," I lied. Five days later my mom asked for all six pages of summary, I lied again and said that I had lost them, and that I would re-do them. I sighed then took my book and started reading and writing finally, I finished and turned it in. But now I know that if I lie ill get into more trouble, I also learned that I should to my work when told to.
