 A dinner that was unforgettable was Chritmas 2019. We had a feast the day of Chritmas which was really good and had lots of food on it. I also got to spend quality time with all my family.

But right as that happened Ms.Harris walked by I thought he got caught copying off me and we both got zeros but turns out she didn't realize. Right after that incident I didn't let him copy off me.

 A plot twist that reshaped the way I think was when I realized my grandpa was not close with my dad even though when I was a kid I always thought that they were very close. When I realized this it changed the perception of my grandpa. I realized they were just acting close to protect me. Once I realized this I were thinking about what else they would be protecting me from. So sometimes I had the craziest ideas about what was going on. Summary:Today we took a group test.

 One of the craziest news I ever heard was that my moms bestfreind was gay.

At the time she lived with this one lady which was at the time her girlfriend but they always said to me they were friends which lived togather and I didn't bat a eye.

 A place that holds deep memories is a stadium of my old team in Souel South Korea. Every Sunday I used to go too Souel Eland games. Every week I was very excited to go watch my favirote team.

 At the time of my childhood my parents would not allow me to play near the street and they would always say it was reckless because cars could shred by and drivers could not see me quickly enough. As a child this felt unfair as my friends would sometimes play there but now I see they were attempting to protect me and prevent something unfortunate from happening similar to The Rockpile where the parents are trying to protect their children from danger.

      One time I stopped and admired nature was when I was walking in a quiet park after it snowed and everything looked calm and white. I felt the way the snow glittered in the streetlights and how still the world was. The trees covered with soft powdery snow were quiet along with everything else; there was no noise to be heard but my footsteps. I felt calm and grateful for stillness around me. It made me forget my problems for a minute. That moment reminded me to slow down and enjoy simple things in life.
