The ELA Test ! Day One !

Wow ! The ELA was today. To take the test they gave us 2 hours. For me that was enough time for me to take the test. Moreover, many of my classmates finished under 1 hour . Furthermore, I was surprised when people finished under an 1 hour because it was like that they did not really care and they were just rushing through the test so the can get it over it. But, the test was okay. It took me about 1:30 just to finish the test. I was the last one that everyone was waiting for to finish the test.


The ELA test was not all that hard and I am not going to say it was easy. The test was okay for me. Many people thought that the test was easy, but that was from there point of view. The test that I took was multiple choice.To add on, while I was taking the test I was not nervous at all. Well at the beginning, I was a little bit because I was thinking that I was not going to pass and that I was going to fail. Moreover, once of I thought that I was going to fail, I started thinking positive instead of negative. I thought positive because if i kept on thinking negative, I would of probably got many answers wrong.

While I was getting to the end the test, I got confused with 2 questions. Even though, the test had 28 questions, but only 2 was not multiple choice. Those 2 questions got me confused. Once it got me confused I started getting frustrated and I stopped doing the test for 10 minutes. Then I started to re-read the question to see if I understand it. After that, I started to understand it. Once, I started understanding it I was not confused at all. Finally, once I finished the test, I had confident on myself and I told myself that I am going to pass.

My Diary about Jennings!

Dear Diary,


I feel so happy that my mom came back for me. Now I can go home. When I was at the Orphanage I really missed my 4 brothers and my mom. To add on, now that I am home I can do lots of things that I like to do. I miss Mark and Stacy at the Orphanage. I left both of them there. I wanted my mother to adopt Mark. My mom dropped me off at the Orphanage because she was very sick. Once I heard that I only thought that she was sick like she only had a cough an something like that, but my mother had a sickness. I hope my mom feels better.

Sincerely,
Jennings

My Diary about Jennings!

Dear Diary,


Why did you leave me there. Some lady named Mrs. Carpenter adopted me and took me to her house. It was terrible. She only cooked twice a day which was Breakfast and Dinner. I didn't want to be there. Moreover, I didn't like it there at all it was the worst place I thought I would never be. Mrs. Carpenter didn't like me at all. She didn't like me at all, the only reason she adopted me because she needed more money. I liked it better at the orphanage. They treated me much better than Mrs. Carpenter and they feed me. I don't want to be here anymore.

My Diary about Jennings !

Dear Diary,


I attacked Butch because I did not like the way he was making fun of Mark. When Mark finally wanted to be my friend I felt happy because he wants to be my friend. I think he wanted to be my friend now because I stood up for him. Moreover, I feel that Stacy is a nice girl, but she can be annoyinng by asking many questions. Also Stacy will be a good friend. I feel sad that I couldn't take Doggie with me because he was my only friend when Mark didn't want to be my friend yet. The Carpenters went to pick me up at the Orphanage which is Home of the Angels. Furthermore, when I was sitting behind the Carpenters car I didn't want to live with them because they are not my real parents and I don't feel comfortable living with other people I don't know. I think my new home will be good and then it won't be all that good because I won't be comfortable. Finally, my fear is that something probably happen to me while I am in my new house.


Sincerely,
Jennings

My Diary about Jennings !

Dear Diary,


When my mother took me to the orphanage I did not really know why because she brought me here. I think she did not want me, so she took me to an orphanage. To add on, I like doggie so much because he is my friend and I can talk to him about my feelings. I really don't know what is going to happen to me if I stay for really long because my mother told me she is only going to come back for me.



Sincerely,
Jennings

Dear Diary,



I live with the FRAZIERS now. Mr.Frazier went to pick me up at my school. He had told me that my mom has pneumonia. I was really sad. I did not want to move anywhere else. I want to be with my mother. Mr.Frazier and the principal had told me that I could still come to the school. Furthermore, I was a little bit excited that I was still going to stay in the school. Mr.Frazier was nice to me. So far I like him. He took me to this beautiful place that had amazing houses. To add on, he had a big house. I liked his house. Additionally, I liked the maid. She was really nice to me at all times. Finally, I like the FRAZIERS house and I also like my room.
Sincerely,
Jennings

My Winter Vacation !



In Christmas, I had fun with my family. Before I went to me aunts house I took a long nap. Once we I got to my aunts house I started taking pictures of my whole entire family. Moreover, after I got there we had to wait for one of my family members so we can start eating. Once, my other aunt got there we all decided that we should eat, but before we ate my aunt gave out presents to all the kids in the family. The kids who were 10 and under got toys and the kids who were 11 and over got 20 dollars, and our parents did not get nothing, so after that we ate. Finally, once we finished eating we just started to party. My christmas gift that I got was money from my father. I was not really expecting anything from him. I got my gift on Christmas Day.

In New Years, I had a lot of fun with my family. I spent Christmas at my aunts house again. Before, the it hit 12 o'clock I was thinking about my New Year Resolution. Also, before it hit 12 o'clock I went to the kitchen to go get 12 grapes and I was not the only one who got 12 grapes. We always get 12 grapes and eat them usually at the countdown so we can get good luck. Once, the clock hit 12 o'clock we all started screaming and we all started hugging each other. After, I hugged everybody I ran to the phone and called my father and told him Happy New Year. I called my father because I do not live with him I live with my mother and I do not get to see my father. The only time I get to see my father is when he comes to visit me, my sister, and my other brothers.


In my birthday, I had a lot of fun with my Cousins and the Bestee's. I went to 42nd Bryant Park to go Ice Skating. But, instead I went to the Regal Movie Theater because to go Ice Skating the line was to long and I was not going to wait there that long. I went to go see the Bed Time Stories, that movie was funny. Additionally, we just started walking and then we to "Toys R' Us" and we took funny pictures while we were there. Moreover, once we got out of there we walked around until we got to 34th street because we were bored and we did not want to go home yet. Once we got to 34th street we just took the D train there. Futhermore, we all stopped at 161 and my cousins and me went to take the 13 bus and my Bestee's took the 6 bus. I slept over my cousins house and they sang Happy Birthday to me at 12 o'clock. Then the next day, was my actual birthday. All my cousins came to my house and my mother bought Ice Cream Cake and Pizza. I finally turned 13 and now I have to wait until next year for my birthday again that is a very long time. I did not really want anything for my birthday, but my father sent me more money.
