Field trip at Chattanooga


During an ELL period, my teacher, Mrs.Berzinskas told the class that everyone in ELL is
going to go to Chattanooga for a field trip on Friday. I was so excited to hear that because I have
never been to a field trip before and I have a quiz and a test on Friday.
Finally, it was Friday, I woke up at 6:30, took a shower, got dressed and went to the
cafeteria to eat breakfast. it was a 1 and a half hour drive to Chattanooga, we arrived at the
Tennessee Aquarium, the best aquariums in USA. The aquarium was divided into two buildings,
the River Journey and the Ocean Journey. We first went into the Ocean Journey and the first
The animal we saw was the cutest animal in the world, penguins. There were about 20 penguins and
3 babies. While we were watching, I saw this penguin and I named him Rocky because he
always had a rock in his mouth and whenever it drops, he would swim and retrieve it back.
Afterwards, I saw something that shocked my whole mind, there was literally a man-made a sea. It
was just amazing, there were sharks, turtles, stingrays and lots of different species of fishes. As
we moved on, I saw jellyfishes, they all looked so magical, with the dim light shining on them,
they looked really beautiful. Next, we moved on to the River Journey, the first animal we saw
were seahorses and 2 enormous crabs. Then we went on the escalator to the second floor, it
was a “man-made river” because it looked almost exactly like a river in the wild, they were
crocodiles, sharks, crocodiles, turtles, stingrays and also many different species of fishes. We
all went to Genghis Grill to eat lunch, the food was delicious, I really enjoyed how the pork was
cooked. We rushed to  where the Chattanooga Ducks were, we went on and started the journey.
When we got to port, the guide asked us if we wanted to go down fast or slow, the boys wanted
to go fast but the girls want to go slow because the splash would damage their hair. The guide
asked everyone on the DUKW to try out driving. During the tour, the guide talked us through the
history of the river and the Cherokees.

It was an exciting field trip and I hope we have more trips in the future

My First Weekend After Spring Break.




After a short Spring break in Los Angeles, I had to come back for school. The first week after any
holiday is always the worst. You have to get used to everything again and start working hard again. The long week made me very frustrated and  I have always been wishing for the weekend to come.
On Friday night, Cole, Young and I went to Avenue together, we had a really good time because Cole hardly stayed for the weekend. We went to Best Buy, Dick’s, Champ and ate some really good Japanese food. Later that night, three of us went outside to the soccer field to play some soccer, we got back at 23:00, took a shower and watched Netflix together. I woke up at 9:30 on Saturday, got dressed, ate some ramen and went out to watch the middle school girl’s lacrosse game. It was my first time spectating a lacrosse game, so I didn’t know what was going on. In the end, I quite understood the rules and the playstyle, and I think I might play lacrosse next year. Then, I went to Downtown with Cole and Elijah, and we ate at BBC and played soccer at the park. While we were playing, my friend from South Africa called me, and we began chatting. They said that they were going to have a holiday soon, and they couldn't wait to see me. At 21:00, girls from Rand came to my dorm and we watched The Incredibles together. On Sunday, I went to Walmart, and I didn’t do much because I had a lot of work to do and two assignments to complete.
This weekend wasn't the best weekend I've had, but it was a fun and amiable weekend in my new school, the Webb School.

Peppa, the best bunny in the world

This morning I was about to go out for a short walk because the sunny weather was so magnificent. As I opened the door, I saw a Black tall hat standing upside down, then suddenly a pink spotted little bunny popped out. It said, “Hi my name is Peppa, and I can make you teleport to any place in the universe whenever you want!” I was so astonished when I heard that. My dream was to be an astronaut and to travel the world. So I wanted to test out if Peppa’s trick really work and I shouted, “ Take me to The Statue Of Liberty!” Then a very bright blue light shined in front of me then I noticed I was on top of The Statue Of Liberty! Peppa said, “You see? It works!” “That's amazing! I love this view of the New York City, I said, can you take me to the Great Pyramid of Giza?” The blue light flashed again, I could feel the breeze of hot sand scraping against my face. I was so surprised when I saw a massive 230m pyramid standing still in front of me. It was almost sunset there and I felt like going to The Table Mountain to view the beautiful sunset so I told Peppa, “ Please take me to my last location, Cape Town.” With no doubt, the blue light flashed again and I heard the sweet sound of the sea. As I opened up my eyes, I saw the Bright orange sun and a really flat mountain.
I wanted to thank Peppa for such a delightful day but when I turned around, he was gone. I said to myself, “Thank you Peppa, today is the best day of my life.”
