I came by to see you today but you were not available. I will stop by for a final goodbye hug on Monday, I made an appointment for 11. Unfortunately, Mr. Weisswange is not willing to take into account my hard work to earn a B. As to be expected from a numbers guy, he is all about the numbers. He was positive about my growth but very set on not changing the grade.

I went home the weekend of October 8 and 9th. On Sunday October 9th my mom and I went to Walmart. I was hoping that she would buy me tea so I did not have to buy it myself. However, the Walmart in Wadsworth, Ohio, my home town, was completely out of 12 packs of Lipton Citrus Green Iced Tea. There was no kiosk for them and there were none of that flavor in the aisle. At this Walmart, where they should have been was surrounded by other types of Lipton, Pure Life, and Snapple teas. On Monday October

service, I was extremely nervous. I felt unsure of what to wear, what to expect, and even how to act. Once I met up with my Uncle, my nerves settled a little bit, but never fully disappeared. I wanted to come off as polite and that I was not intruding in a place that I did not belong. When we sat down in our seats, I tried to stay to myself and not bother anyone. I did not want anyone pointing out or realizing that we were new. I was terrified of someone finding out that I was not Jewish; though I am sure

“Yeah sure “ so I followed him him down to the basement and he turns around and looks behind him and there's a target on his wall. He showed me all his knives even a couple he made from wood. He turns to the target and says “you think I can get a bullseye with one eye closed and hoping on one foot.” “ bet you 20 you can't “ i said in return as he starts hopping and on one and stumbles over something I felt a burning sensation on my left side of my ribs Turns out I was stabbed and went to the

The lucky coin that Vittorio has is a symbol of life since actually before it saved Luciano’s life, so he thought that it would be good to be given Vittorio since he will take care of it.

I have always enjoyed creating things and being good at what I chose to do. When I was a young boy, I spent countless hours building things with Legos or Kinetics. I had a vivid imagination, hoping to one day invent a hover car or a jet pack. I am now in a moment of my life where my decisions now will affect what my life is and what it will become.
