The document describes the narrator's life experiences, including being born near their mother's birthday, enjoying reading science fiction books, visiting grandparents in Florida which involves long car rides, traveling to Vietnam and Washington D.C. as a child, enjoying activities like going to Six Flags and zoos, and looking forward to starting high school.

1. I was born on August
17,1999. My mom was born on the
18 of August. I think that it was a
coincidence that I was born a day
before her birthday. I was born in
Leominster Hospital.. We usually go
on vacation in August rather than
July. At the end of summer I have to
go back to school. My mom wants
to go to Vietnam in the summer.

2. Books
I like to read books.
Some of my favorite books are
The Hunger Games, Delirium, To
Kill The Mockingbird, The
Outsiders. I started to read more
was in 7th grade. I like science
future type of books. I’m
beginning to like reading a lot
more than I used to. I am in the
book club. I was forced into it by
Gina. We haven’t even finish one
book yet. In a matter of time I
think we will.

3. I love to watch movies.
I honestly love any kind like
comedy, horror, adventure,
action and etc.. The movie
recently saw was The Hobbit. It
was good but I didn’t like the
ending so much. The reason I
didn’t like the ending is because
once they finale got to where
they were going and didn’t do
anything more. Movies are
entertaining to watch when you
nothing left to do. Some movies
aren’t as good as other but I still
like them.

4. I go to Lady Lake, Florida to go
see my grandparents. I go there in the
summer. Every time I go to Florida we
have to drive and it’s really boring
sitting in a car for like 12 hours. It’s
nice to see my grandparents because I
don’t see them a lot since I live far
away. We went to zoos, beaches,
Universal Studio, and just go drive
around Florida seeing new thing. My
grandfather drives and it kinds of
scary because he drives really fast.
That what we mostly do when were
visiting my grandparents. I might go
back to Lady Lake this summer.

5. VIETNAM
I first went to Vietnam when I
was a baby so I didn’t remember much
from that trip. I most recently went
was when I was in 6th grade. My
grandparent from my mom’s side
and my uncle also my aunt came
with me. We had to drive all the way
to New York. When we got there our
flight got cancelled . My Dad and
uncle spent most of that trying to
get our flight changed. We had to
sleep in the airport because my
other uncles are already on their way
home. After spending the night at
the airport we finally got on the
flight and was on our way to
Vietnam. I spent the whole month in
Vietnam. It was fun but really hot.

6. Washington D.C
I went to Washington D.C . this
summer. We spent four day there. We
drove left around 5 am got to there by 3
pm. My Dad didn’t know were the hotel
was so he kept driving up and down the
street and looking at the window to see
if we can find the hotel. We found it and
got settled into the hotel room. My
cousin Gina came with me. We saw the
White House , Air and Space museum ,
Lincoln Memorial , and a lot of other
memorial s. The trip was fun but my feet
ached afterward . On the way home we
stopped in New York. I don’t think I'm
going on the 8th grade field trip to
Washington D.C but it’s alright.

7. Six Flags
I go to Six Flag every summer
with my whole family. We spend the
whole day there. It’s really fun. We go on
a ton of rides. I don’t go on many roller-
coaster because I don’t like height and
I'm kind of scared of them. We walk
around to buy souvenir in the shop s. It
gets kind of tiring after walking for a
while. I go with my uncle and some of my
cousins. My parent barely go on any of
the rides. That how I spend my day at Six
Flags.

8. Timothy
Timothy is my brother but I
call him Tim. He is 14 year old. His a
freshman in high school. Tim goes to
Monty Tech. When I come home my
brother always complain about how
much homework he has to do.
Sometimes we don’t get along but
don’t all brother and sisters. He does
good in school as far as I know. He in
the ROTC program.

9. Leominster High School
Next year I’m going to be
a freshman in high school. I think
I'm going Leominster High School
but my parents want me to go to
Monty Tech. I would want to go to
Leominster High because I know
more people there than in Monty
Tech. I would like to do the CTE
program. I think it’s a would be a
good experience and to try the
trades. I would be very nervous
on the first day. It’s a different
school but I’m looking forward to
high school.

10. Dad
My Dad’s first name is Steve.
My Dad’s works in Worcester at a place
called Micro Arc. He’s 42 years old I
think he wouldn’t want me to be telling
people his age. My Dad is the cook not
my mom. He likes to try new recipes..
His birthday is December 7. My Dad is
originally from Florida but moved to
Massachusetts when he was around 9
years old. Has one brother and one
sister. They live in Gardener. I love my
dad.
My Dad is the guy in the orange shirt.

11. Christmas
Christmas was alright this
year. I mostly just got clothes also
iTunes gift cards. I spent Christmas
at my cousin’s house. My mom
wasn’t there for Christmas
because She was helping her
Grandfather in Vietnam where he
lives. My mom just got home a
couple weeks ago. I just met my
new cousin Ally. My bought me
IPhone I will consider that a
Christmas present from her. I can’t
wait for next Christmas.

12. Yearbook Club
I was on the Yearbook club in 7th
grade. There was a lot of people at first
then Mrs. Winter narrowed it down to
around 20 people. It was based if you went
to most of the meetings. We met once a
month for the meeting. I did one page.
Took me two days to finish my page. Last
year’s yearbook turned out well. After I
finished my one page I mostly played games
on the computer. I going to get this year’s
yearbook since this is my last year at Sky
View. I’m excited to go high school next
year.

13. New York City
I went to New York City on
my way home from Washington D.C.
We spent only a couple hours there.
There was a lot of traffic. My parents
where driving around for a place to
park. My Mom wanted to go to China
Town so we did. We ate lunch then
shopped around. My Mom bought
food for people for when we get
home. The food managed to stay
good. New York isn’t the cleanest city
out there. I also went to New York
when I was around 4 year old to go
see the Statue of Liberty . New York
was a good experience. I would like to
go back and spend more then a
couple hour there.

14. Grandparents
I love my Grandparents. I get to see my
grandparents on my mom side more because the live close
by. My dad’s parents live in Lady Lake, Florida. My
grandparents in Florida are very outgoing they get out. I
call them Meme and Pepe I don’t know why I just do. For
spring break I might go visit them. My mom’s parent are
more reserved than my dad’s. My mom parent were born
in Vietnam. My grandfather was in the Vietnam war he
fought with the Americans. My Grandfather met my
grandmother while he was patrolling. They stay in more.
My grandmother babysits my cousins. Which must be
tiring for her. I’m going to spend as much time with them
as I can because I know they won’t be alive forever.

15. Plymouth
When my grandparent visited me we went to Plymouth. I already
went to Plymouth for a field trip in 3rd grade. After we went to Plymouth
rock we headed towards Plymouth Plantation. The trip was interesting
since I have not been to Plymouth in a couple years. My Grandparents
wanted to go. My family went in the summer. Outside was I think around
90 degrees. That day was really hot. I spent the whole day with them. I was
staying at my cousin Gina’s house . So they picked me and my brother up. I
didn’t even know that we were going to do anything that day. So that was
a little shock to me. I had a fun time that day. My grandparent were staying
with some people they know. I think they had a fun day since my
grandparent doesn’t get to spend a lot of quality time with my family.

16. Halloween
I used to go trick or treating
but now I don’t because I’m getting to
old. Now I usually pass out candy or
walk around with my cousins while they
get candy. These Halloweens are bad
since all the snow and changing the date
for trick or treating. This Halloween I
stayed home. Everybody went to my
house afterwards. I had an easy night.
When I do go trick or treating I get lots
of candy. The next day I probably ate
most of the bag. I will always love
Halloween no matter how old I get.

17. I went to several zoos. In 4th grade we went on a
field trip to Southwick Zoo. I got tired after a while. I we on
a train ride that took us around the zoo. That was pretty
interesting seeing animals that I never saw before. I talk
more when we are on field trip than school. Saw birds ,
tigers, giraffes, and many more animals . I remember when I
was around 5 year old , my family including aunts, uncles ,
and cousins went to this zoo in Maine. We split up and went
our own way. I went with my brother and my Dad. I was
walking then my sandal fell off my then a duck took my
sandal . My dad had to go get it. I think that ducks don’t like
me that much. Those were my experiences when I went to
the zoo.

18. I have 7 uncles . Some of them are stricter than
others. My favorite uncle is my Uncle Thien. He is more
relaxed than the others. He takes us to go see movies. In the
summer he takes me and my cousin blueberry picking. Also
my Uncle Nguyen takes to the movie with Gina but then
leaves afterward or sleeps during the movie. My mom has 4
bother then one sister that got married. I have 5 uncles.
Then my dad has one brother and one sister. So in total I
have 7 uncles.
My uncle and my
cousin Angel.

19. I love ice cream. My favorite flavor is cookie dough.
My family usually go to Kimball. If I had to choose between
chocolate or vanilla ,I would choose vanilla. I would eat ice
cream in any type of weather. I like frozen yogurt but ice
cream would win any day.

20. I only went a couple time before. The ice cream is really
good. Every time I go there its always crowed. My favorite ice
cream is the moose munch. I always get it when I go there. I didn’t
there to be a lot of people there. My family are probably going a lot
more in the summer.

21. Ocean
I love the ocean. It’s refreshing to just relax. My whole
family takes a day from working to go to the beach. My Dad always
wants to go to somewhere new but we always do what my mom
wants. I have to wake up sometimes 6am . We go to the beach in
Maine sometimes .The drive is sometimes around 1 to 2 hours.
Those days are always fun.

22. Johnny Appleseed School
I went to Johnny Appleseed for my 5th grade year. Before I
went to Leominster I went to Reingold School in Fitchburg. I was
nervous at first because I didn’t know anybody. My teacher was Mr.
Powers . Out of all my teacher he was my favorite. I got used to
everything after awhile. I met all different kinds of people. I had a fun to
on all the field trips. Johnny Appleseed was great for only being there a
year.

23. Quotes
My favorite quotes is “Be who you are and say what you
feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter
don’t mind.’’ By Dr.Seuss. It’s a philosophy that you use in life. Another
is “Stand up for what is right . Even if you’re standing alone.” Those
are a couple of my favorite quotes. I try to live by them as much as I
can.

24. Reading
I like to read. I always ask my dad to take me to the bookstore but
he always says no. I have not read a lot until 7th grade. I read just to past time
or when I am bored. My brother reads books with about 1000 pages . I only
read books with around 500 pages. Takes me around 4 days to read about
300 pages. I like to science fiction books the most.
My Favorite books

25. Easter
Easter is just a regular day to me. All my aunts , uncle , and cousin
come to my house. We eat the food my grandmother makes like
springrolls or pho a type of Vietnamese soup. Nothing really special we
do for Easter. Most of my family watch football while the kids go off and
do something else like watch TV or play video games. Easter’s a normal
day.

26. Xtra Special
I have many things that are special to me. The most important
thing to me is my family. My dad told me once that if you don’t have family
you have nothing. Our family vacation that we take every summer.
Sometimes we have to drive to those places. I hope my mom gets a new car
because I’m getting sick of that car. I love my new cousin Angel. She’s 1
month old. Also the last important person to me is my mom. She does so
much for me. Those are the things that are extra special to me.
