"Special Day in the City With My Family"-(family story)

It was Saturday October 10th, 2009, when my cousins kayla, jessica,my two aunts, my grandparents,my mom and I went to Manhatten. It was my cousin Jessica's seventh birthday and we were going to the American Girl Place to celebrate. It was a lot of fun. We got to explore the store and we ate in the cafe when we were there. What I found comical about it was that my grandfather was the only guy there, (hahaha). It was a cute cafe though. My cousins and I brought our dolls with us and took pictures. Another comical act was when it was time to order. It was time to order our drinks and my grandmother ordered a soda and the waitress says we don't have any soda here. Everyone was shocked. It was a healthy cafe. I liked it a lot. They served fruit and vegetables with our dinner. It was a lot of fun!!!

Experiences in Academics

Some academic experiences that I have had are projects. Recently I've done a spanish project on a certain country. The country that I had was Ecuador. I got to learn about how Ecuador was shaped and some landmarks. in that country. Did you know that Ecuador is where the center of the earth is located? That was one of the interesting things I learned about this country. The hardest part was the presenting part. You see I'm a quiet person and I had to present to my class in spanish. It was hard because I don't speak spanish. But i did it in the end and it wasn't that bad. My Ecuador project was a pretty educational cool experience.

"Cops Tackle Mayhem At Schools." by Doug Auer 
Around the island the lunacy in the moring and the afternoon around schools has be absoutley crazy!!!!! Parents are double parking and speeding to get their children to and from school. It is very dangerous and illegal to do. The cops are getting very mad!! Kids are getting hurt. It needs to stop!!! said one of the teachers.
My opinion on this is that this is really bad. I mean a young boy got hit by a car recently becuase of all this mayhem. Schools should have a system where parents can pick and drop their kids off safely. What their doing now is really stupid and their gonna hurt either someone or themselves.

"Students and their Parents facing school bus frustration." By Amisha Padini Around the island students and parents are getting frustrated with school buses. On the first day of school Michael Loritio ( only seven years old), was handed a half price metro card in school. His mother was very upset. The start of the new school year came with a slew of odd school bus assignments. Kindergardener Nicholas Sirota had a two and a half bus ride from his Prince's Bay home to PS 60. After so many complaints his parents moved him onto a twenty five minute route. A young eight year old has to walk 12 blocks everyday because his school has a policy that the DOE has assigned. No taking the school bus after eight years old. The principal is fighting for that but can't seem to get anywhere. An eleven year old has to walk eight blocks then take three city buses to get to his school in Graniteville.

My opinion on this whole thing is its ridiculous. Their risking little childrens lives for stupidness. I mean I don't take the bus because my parents don't work at the times i get out but still its unexpectable. I think that school buses should take all children no matter what grade in elementary school. Because this is how things happen. Young children on the street with rapists, murderers, and other psychos is so dangerous. And their too small to have cell phones. This is how things happen. I think its really dumb.
