There are so many people I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three:  Lebron James, Mookie Betts, and Maxx Crosby. The reason I would choose LeBron is because he is the greatest basketball player ever and also he has a lot of aura. I would choose Mookie is because I want to be a pro baseball player and I want to ask him about the league and what I need to do to make it. I would choose Maxx because he plays for my favorite player on the Raiders and also he seems like a chill and cool person. And those are my three people and why I would invite them to dinner.

My dream job is to be a professional baseball player.  The reason i want to be one is because I’ve always wanted to be one since I was a little kid. Also I have been playing the sport for 8 years and I’m really good at it. Another reason is because I think it would be really cool to hang out with the other players and just talk. Lastly I want to be one because I can’t let my family and myself down, by not achieving my goal.

I have become invisible for 24 hours! I know you’re wondering how I became invisible and here’s what happened. I was at this magicians act and for the final act it was to turn me invisible. Being invisible is actually kinda cool. This morning I went into the grocery store and stole some food and nobody knew it was me. Isn’t that cool? I decided I needed some extra money so I decided to rob a bank, it was super easy because I’m invisible. For dinner I snuck into this super fancy restaurant and when the chefs prepared the food I sneakily grabbed it and left. I went of to bed that night happy and full.

This month I am reading a book called ” Prisoner B-3087”by Alan Gratz. This book is mainly about this 10 year old boy Jewish boy named Yanek Gruener and his family when there home city of Krakow get invaded by the Nazis. I like this book because it is informative and entertaining. The reason for this is because its telling you the struggles Yanek had to endure while being in the concentration camps and later being sent to Auschwitz and many other places.  My favorite character from this book is Yanek is because he is outgoing. A quote from the story to prove this is “ I had survived the work gangs in the ghetto. Baked bread under cover of night. Hidden in a pigeon coop. Had a midnight bar mitzvah in the basement of an abandoned building. I had watched my parents be taken away to their deaths, had avoided Amon Goeth and his dogs, had survived the salt mines of Wieliczka and the sick games of Trzebinia. I had done so much to live, and now, here, the Nazis were going to take all that away with their furnace!“ This quote is basically him telling you how he survived all these horrific things and even seen his parents die and yet he’s still going.  My favorite quote from the book is “ life is but a river. It has no beginning, no middle, no end. All we are, are we are worth is what we do while we float upon it- how we treat our fellow man.” This is meaningful to me because life all depends on how we treat one another, so that means always treat your peers with kindness and respect.

Life on my abandoned island is kinda awesome. I was brought by Lebron James for some reason. The island is super peaceful because the weather is always sunny but not to hot. Also no one is here except for me so that means I get my peace and quiet. Everyday i do pretty much the same thing. I wake up, wash my face in the water, then I go look for breakfast on the island (usually fruit) after my breakfast I relax a little then I go for a long swim. After that I eat dinner then I fall asleep in my makeshift hammock made out of tree leaves. The island is pretty cool. The water is super blue and clear, the animals that live there are nice and the island has plenty of fruit trees for me too eat, also the island is pretty massive.

 

This month I’m reading a book called “ long way dow” by Jason Reynolds. I am not finished with this book yet and im on page 122.  This book is about a boy named Will and him getting revenge for his brother Shawn who got shot, there are 3 rules, no crying, no snitching, and revenge no matter yet. I like this book because it’s written in poem form, also it’s very entertaining and exciting.  My favorite. Character so far is Will, I like him because he is outgoing and persistent. A quote to prove this is “ I had half a second to tuck the gun, turn around, ignore Buck, catch my breath and act normal.” This shows he is persistent because instead of not listening to the rules and breaking them he tried to regain his energy and move as quickly as possible. My favorite quote from the book has to be “You don’t got it in you, he repeated over and over again under his un-breath while sliding a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.” The reason I like this quote is because it makes the reader think, will he get revenge does he have it in him?

I am very to excited to be going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. The reason I am going is because my team is playing in a big tournament over there.  I’m looking forward to playing on their nice fields, however it will be freezing cold. I definitely do not want to get hit by the ball because it will sting. Also at the hotel were staying at there has a massive arcade, a movie theater and even a bowling alley! All in all I’m super excited to go play and have fun over there.

The following is the quote I have chosen from Dumbledore. “  Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light. This quote means that when you have a loss you can remember the good times out of that loss and turn in into happiness. Even though i’m just a kid a haven’t had dark times yet I am going to have to face them when i get older.

Somebody I look up to as my hero is LeBron James.  LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time and has influenced a lot of people into playing basketball. The reason he is someone I look up to is because he was the reason I started to watch and play basketball. Also he has one of my favorite shoes for basketball. Lastly he is a great leader to all of his teammates and has a big influence on their play.

This month I read a book called Diary of a wimpy kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kiney. This book is mainly about a kid named Greg and his older brother Rodrick. This book has to do with Gregs mom making his older brother Rodrick become his mentor. However this would not end up well for greg. I would purchase this book because it is very entertaining and has good humor. My favorite character from the book has to be Rodrick. The reason for this is because he is a very funny and entertaining character.
