Robin Tornament

Today I had two soccer games! Each game was about half the time of the usual games, consisting of 60 minutes. I was only offense once today and I was a little disapointed but it help me improve my defensive skills. I almost got a goal but missed by a little. We played the Rockets and the Randoras and tied them both. One was 0-0 and one was 1-1. It was fun playing two teams.

Characteristics

Today I scared Henry with a fake snake. I shouldn't have done that. I should have only shown him it. My problem is that I keep harassing him. I have to think about how I would feel if I was annoyed and scared. I have to be nicer to my brother. If I didn't do that I would have saved a whole lot of time. If it wasn't that harsh I could have only done it once. I want to have good characteristics and I have to work hard for it. I want all these, honest, un-selfish, respectful, and social. I have little amount of these so I really want to change. It is really hard to change a habit.

PTC

On Friday my mom went to teacher conference and got my report card. I got only one four and that was writing narratives. Teacher said my story was very interesting, it had dialogue, and it has figurative language. There were little slots that were filled in ,but the teacher said we would have more to do very soon and that it was just the first quarter. I got threes on everything else. I am a little disapointed but still can do.

Swimming

Today is report card day for swimming and I passed! I got into level 5 which is hard to pass. Here is the things you have to do to pass:

I got everything correct. I was very pleased.

Sick

Today I stayed home from school because I was sick. I had a low fever and my throat hurt. It is Wednesday so the teacher didn't teacher anything new though I miss violin. I could have went to school but it was really hot outside. I got sick because yesterday was so hot.

Ocean

Today I went to Baker Beach and played with William. We went close to the waves and ran back when the waves were big. We also collected shells with special designs. William and I both fell in the waves so we were drenched from head to toe. We had to take of everything except for our inside shirts and underpants. It was really fun.

Attitude

Today when my mom told me to eat papaya and I refused to eat it. She said she would take my new flashlight and I said,"take it, I don't care." I sould have ate the papaya and my attitude shouldn't be like that. Attitude is my biggest problem, I have to change the way I talk to adults. My way to stop attitude is when I feel I have an attitude problem I think how much mom did for me.

Lang Lang

Lang Lang is a person who accomplished a dream by sticking to it and doing everything to succeed even if he had hard times. After I read the auto biography of Lang Lang I was amazed by how much he believed and did, of example he lived in a dirty neighborhood with a small apartment just to attend the Conservatory of Music in Beijing. I felt closer to piano like it was a toy after I read it. It brought so much joy to Lang Lang. I was also determined to do better in piano. I recommend this book to everyone!
