Disney Land

Everyone always told me I was too old for Disneyland. But I never forgot how it changed my life. The memories created from the rides as I was a kid, they will never know the happiness I found. Back when my dad was still with me, we would go every week. Sometimes, we would try to see if we could go on more rides than the last. We liked to travel to Indiana Jones to get Dole Whip and almost scare ourselves to death from the rolling ball. The Haunted Mansion was one of my favorites because it had that giant skeleton that always said hello. It never appeared to be as scary as everyone thought it was. Matterhorn had to be my favorite because my dad would always scream when the Yeti appeared. I was brave enough to tell him it was going to be ok. Those memories will be in my heart, and I can’t wait to experience them with my future kids.

Failures

My failures are what makes me unique. Like a wise man once said, “It ain’t about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward,”(Rocky Balboa). As long as I can figure out my mistakes, I can keep improving and become a better version of myself. One step at a time, just like my pops told me. If I can keep pushing myself to the limit, something will happen, whether it’s good or bad, it’s a change that can help me progress forward. And nothing will stop me from getting where I want to be.

Friendship

Writing Response: Whenever I needed help. He would be there for me. Whenever I seemed a little off, he was there for me. The times we stayed up until 3am were some of the greatest moments of my life. His name was Ryan. Whenever he came to school, people misunderstood his background, and made it seem as if he was the bad guy. All he does is try to help, and people think he’s weird for that. I never understood why his life was distraught. His parents always fought, and his brother already graduated. He was by himself. I wish I spent a little more time trying to figure out his problems. I’m sorry.

 

Real Estate

When I grow up, I want to be the greatest real-estate agent known to mankind. I promised my parents I would help them get out of their financial situation and make it up to them. All their money and time spent on me, I could never let them down.  No matter the struggles, no matter the pain, I will make it. Not for me, for them. My caretakers and my day ones. It’s extremely hard for me to focus in class, with distractions left and right, but things will turnout ok. The universe has to work in my favor, or else I would have lived for nothing. 

Super 73

It wasn’t just a bike. It was a lifestyle. It was the Super 73. I could never respect cars, not because I don’t have one, it’s because you didn’t have the freedom to do a lot with it. You couldn’t take it onto sidewalks and into parks. If you were to head down the Santa Ana River to the Beach, there was no secret path for Tesla. However, I could take the bike anywhere I went. I could go as fast as I wanted. It was the American Dream. There aren’t too many rules for the piece of machine. Other than wearing your helmet, which no does, you can pretty much do anything you want. Cops couldn’t chase you either, because you were able to slip through cracks in the fence, and go over grass spots in bumpy terrain. That’s why the Super 73 will always have my respec

 

Romance

People told me there was no such thing as love at first sight, but when I saw her eyes, my jaw dropped immediately. My world lit up like a fire and my pupils grew wide. I couldn’t stay focused in class because she was always on my mind. It was like playing tug of war with an imaginary girlfriend. I couldn’t stop imagining the things we could do together. We could go play minigolf, or watch movies until we fell asleep in each other’s arms, or even hold hands and watch sunsets together. So, I did what every other boy would do. I shot my shot. Unfortunately it rebounded and hit my face. She ended up telling all her friends about it and I was the embarrassment of the school.
