My Weekend

My weekend was GRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won the playoffs. I am so exited the coach is taking the team to Cici's pizza for winning the championship. We won 23-22. my mom is getting me a new phone hopefully. I also got to play video games for one hour and that was fun, my mom took me to the Golden Arches for a reward. I also got the 1st place trophy, it says Mesquite Basketball League 1st place. For dinner we had pork chops, chicken, mashed potatoes, hot tamales, corn on a cob, bread rolls, and a lot of rice.(Of courseI cooked most of the food). Then I took a nap because the games drained all of my energy and i am still tired today. The next day when we came from church I made Cascades with picante sauce, and cheese dip. It was good.

dear family,

I have been summoned to help fight in the war by George washington. The reason i'm not telling you this is because i am off to war. I took most of the money out of the bank to go off and do all of the things i've always wanted to do. I want all of you to believe in me and pray that i came back. But before i do that i'm going to do the things that i've always wanted to do.

i've always wanted to meet Thomas Jefferson. O.K. thats it i am off to war. I"m ready to fight the red coats.

My Life as a West African

I was just relaxing making fried chicken for dinner when like seventy two men came in and stole my sister(Anganette)my two brothers(Chris,Terrance). Then after that,these other guys came and then they took me to this huge ship and threw me into the bottom floor.

The Voyage: There was like one thousand people there,we were all packed in there. Three people threw up one me and I had to pee on my self. I was soooooo confused and plus I can get sea sick so easily. Noooooooooooooooooo I can't believe it Anganette just got thrown over board. I cried for three hours.

The Island:When I got to the island they made me work in a tobacco field they rewarded me with a very easy job. But then it got harder and harder. I got sick and they thought I was just faking it but i wasn't so they whipped me. Other slaves were throwing rocks at me. Years later I am 46 and I finally get to be freeeee!!! i'm freeeeee at last!!!!!!!!!!!!
