A long apology

            I am truly sorry for any problems I may have caused. It wasn't my intention to spread negativity, and I regret any of my actions that were offensive. I am going to make things right and ensure that nothing like this happens again. I appreciate your patience as I resolve this situation.

Something I am certain of

           Lebron Raymone James Sr. is the greatest human to touch a basketball. He is undeniably the greatest basketball player of all time. There is no doubt in my mind that anybody will ever be as dominant in the NBA as Lebron James. I am certain that his legacy will remain untouched forever.

Something I used to know how to do

         I used to know how to skate. My older brother and his friends taught me how to ride and a few tricks. It takes a lot of hours and involves a lot of falling. I would get many bruises after constant attempts at trying to land new stuff. However, as the years passed, the less I skated. I soon stopped entirely and I can barely even ride a skateboard. Sometimes I think about giving it another try but I always find some excuse as to why I shouldn't,

Something I don't exactly remember

           I have a memory from my childhood of my family moving. I remember being in an empty room and my family was just moving boxes out. I don't think I helped much and was probably just standing around providing emotional support. I can't remember where I was living at the time or where we were moving to. It bothers me to not be able to remember things clearly even though I know that recalling what happened that day will change literally nothing. 

Something I can't deny

           Cristiano Ronaldo is an excellent soccer player. As much as I dislike him, his greatness is undeniable. He has had one of the best professional careers of all time and he has many awards and trophies to show for it. As much as I want to criticize his personality and arrogance, his presence and longevity is still, to this day, astonishing. Although he is selfish and immature, he is also undeniably the 2nd greatest soccer player of all time.

Something I have too much of

           I have too much free time. I often have nothing to do most days. I don't go out nearly as much as I used to and I no longer work. I've applied to a few jobs but so far I haven't gotten a response. I could be doing my school work but I have a hard time focusing at home so I usually just sleep. Most of my free time is actually spent sleeping which is why I'm always up late at night.

Someone I forgot

 In the 6th grade I had a friend named Ruben. We were very close at the time. However, Ruben did not return to my middle school the next year. I had no way of getting in contact with him because his parents were very strict with Ruben and did not allow him on social media. I often find myself forgetting about him entirely. None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.

Having no fun at all

         I once slept over at my cousin's place. We weren't that close but I didn't mind hanging out with him. The night was extremely boring. His parents were really strict and didn't like us making too much noise. We had to be in bed and silent by 10:00. They didn't tolerate any horseplaying and they had nothing to do over there. I never slept over again.  

When I knew I was in trouble

           I used to live in an apartment complex which was often referred to as the heights. A lot of my friends lived there as well and whenever we were out together we were always searching for something to do. After being bored for so long you get desperate for something exciting. Me and my friends thought it would be funny if we opened up one of the fire extinguishers and just sprayed it everywhere. We did it and it wasn't as exciting as we had thought. Then, all of a sudden, a woman comes out and starts scolding us and informs us that she has video footage of what we had done. She demands that I tell her where I live and I tell her. On the walk to my place, I remember being nervous and scared. I knew at that point that I was going to receive a harsh punishment.

Someone being born

           I have many siblings, some of which I have never even met in person. I am the third youngest of 9 children. I was 2 years old when my brother JJ was born and can not remember anything. However, I do remember my youngest sibling being born. His name is Timothy and he was born in 2015 when I was 7 years old. When my mom went into labor I was scared because I didn't understand the situation. I just remember a lot of panicking and my parents and older sister rushing to the hospital. After my little brother returned home I remember being happy for a while before becoming envious of the attention he was receiving. 

A time I dressed inappropriately for the occasion

           I went to a charter middle school in Brookhaven. Each grade had a different colored shirt and uniform that we were required to wear each day. However, whenever a special event or field trip came up for the school we would have pajama days. On one particular pajama day, I thought it would be a good idea to come to school in sweats. The principal did not approve of my outfit and my mom had to come drop off my uniform. I remember being extremely embarrassed and I never participated in school events again.

A truth I was afraid to accept

         A truth I was afraid to accept was when my dog passed away. I was young and in denial. I didn't wanna believe it. I eventually accepted the loss and realized nothing could be done.      In class we finished our assignment from the day previous and worked on any missing assignments. I learned that we must not take beauty in anything for granted. I will use this knowledge to help me better appreciate things in life.

Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

      During the summer of 2022 I went to Pensacola Beach in Florida. I was accompanied by all of my friends and my older brother. We enjoyed numerous activities. The trip was 4 days long and as It came to an end all I could think about was the great memories I had made during that trip. I was bummed that we had to leave but I knew the temporary time we had there was what made it so valuable.     In class we worked on a one pager based on Ambush by Tim O Brien. I learned about the lasting impacts and truama of war and how important it is for people to share their stories.
