9-11

Well since today is 911 I decided I’ll write about where I was and what I was doing on the devastating attack of terror that occurred in 2001.
I open my eyes very tired from the late night of watching cartoons.
My mom has a very worried look on her face as she is watching fox thirteen news.
I ask what is wrong and she explained the best she could without worrying me (I was in second grade) that we were under attack.

I probably should have been in school, but I guess my mom figured school would be canceled or something. I remember I was just happy that I didn’t have to go to school.
Then after seeing the giant towers fall on television I came to the best conclusion I could in my seven-year-old mind that this was very much real.
After the news repeated the same clip about three times I changed the channel to nickelodeon and watched cartoons the rest of the day.

If I Could be Anywhere

If I could go anywhere I would go to Japan. Because I like the cars they make. My first ride on an airplane was scary because I’m scared of heights. Plus I thought we was going to tip over when we went down the runway. But yeah we didn’t, and when we were in the air I thought we was going to die like fall out of the sky. But we made it to Salt Lake city alive. I don’t really know if I see people for who they really are considering that I don’t pay attention to them. But I can tell when people are fake. Does that count?

Anywhere I’d go

I would go somewhere tropical with lots of tree and an ocean that’s as blue as the sky and clear as glass. I don’t really know where this place is, but when I find it trust me I’m going to be there. Maybe this place is somewhere in the ocean waiting for me to find it. You feel me homie.

I’ve never been in a plane. But if I had the chance I’d probably jet out in a jet or chopper.
And not just any jet or chopper but the army type if you know what I mean G.

Traveling

I would like to go to a lot of places, but the place I would like to go the most is probably Egypt. I would like to go to Egypt because I would love to see the Egyptian Tombs and their Pyramids. I have always wanted to be something that has to do with searching for the history of Egypt. It would be neat looking at all the prized items and see how they lived.

Another place I would like to visit is probably Africa. I would like to see their culture and all the cool animals there. I have a couple of friends that have moved from Africa. They have pictures and they look amazing. With their culture I would just like to see how their houses are built, try some of their food, and see if there is stuff they have to do everyday.

My first plane ride was when I was about six years old and it was to California. I think that was my favorite flight ever because it was so cool to see how small everyone was and how everything looked from up above. Ever since then I have wanted to also become a Commercial line Pilot. I think it would be so much fun flying around the world exploring different places.

If I Could Take One Thing Back

The question is if I could take back one thing in my life what would it be. However. I would not take back one thing in my life; I would like to take back something from someone else’s life. I would take away my mother and father’s want to do drugs while my sister and I where with them. Because if they never did drugs, then I might have had a normal life… I might have not been in 16 foster homes and 6 group homes, throughout my life. I believe that drugs are the worst things that you could ever do to yourself; and to your family.

When I was growing up I always thought it was my fault and wished that I could take back my bad actions that got me taken away from my mommy and daddy. Although now that I am grown up and know better, I know that it was not my fault. I know what they did was wrong and after all the consequences that came from their decision to do drugs I am okay with it. Maybe I won’t take it away; because, I am a great person and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have all the trials I have had. I like who I am and that is the end, no apologies no regrets!

If I Could Take One Thing Back

I’ve given a lot of thought to the one thing that I would want to take back in my life and I can’t really think of just one. There’s so many that pop into my head and it’s so hard to just choose one. But if I had to choose one, I would take back the fact that I looked at, smelled, and surrounded myself with--DRUGS.

That was my hugest mistake. If I wouldn’t have started drugs, I wouldn’t have gone through half the groundings I’ve been through. I wouldn’t have met most the people that I hung out with. I wouldn’t have gotten into as much trouble either. I’m pretty sure that I probably wouldn’t have ran and if I wouldn’t have ran I wouldn’t have gotten locked up.

If I had kept a clean life then I wouldn’t have had to move to Provo to a Proctor Home. I’d still be in Richfield, going to school everyday, maybe choosing better friends that make smarter choices or at least not bring any of the illegal substances around me. Drugs made me learn a lot of hard lessons in life. Now’s the time to move on.

If I Could Take One Thing Back

If I had the option to take 1 thing back in my life I would actually have a hard time deciding what to do. I mean like a normal human I do have things in my life I regret but over all I think everything happens for a reason.

One thing I always want to take back is dropping out of school when I did but then I would never of been at Summit. I love Summit so much! Summit has changed my life and given me opportunities. I have made more friends and family here than I would of anywhere else.

I think about how I wish I could take back everything that happened with my mom and getting taken away from her. Wow dumb because my mom is not capable to be a mom at all so I would never want to go back. I love my mom but she cant even take care of herself she could never take care of me.

So yes I hate rules but I live with family that loves me and I’m actually made goals and perusing them. I would probably take back some lies I have said or dumb things like that, but over all I don’t think I would take back much. You live and learn right?
