There's one place that means to me and that place is chicago downtown i had always have a lot of memeories I have 1 memeory where i go to downtown with family and we all have a great time.
ReplyDeletein summer my family and i went to melenium park and we went to get wet it was fun for a momment until i got cold i was shivering so i went to the nerest restroom so i can chanege my cloths. after i got out of those wet cloths me and my family and i went home happy.
One place that is special to me is mckinley park.Well every summer day we go and play soccer in the artificial field.A memory is when we won the 2009 and 2010 season and I scored six goals to be individual scorer with 16.Another memory is we always play with my cousins basketball or soccer but he thinks he is the best player of basketball but he loses and he gets mad and he says lets go
ReplyDeleteThe place were I have a lot of memories is in my house. When my couusins came from mexico and he was at my house. We were playing outside playing video games and then we went to the store to buy some chips. this was the happiest day ever for me.
ReplyDeleteThe next great memory that I had was when I went to mexico and my mom was thinking of buying a house in mexico. I told her that she should buy one so we wouldn't have to stop at motels or hotels.

ReplyDeleteMy house is a vrey important place to me, becuase it holds alot of memories. One of the memories is when my tooth fell off. I remember i was so scared the toothfairy would come. But as soon as i saw that money under my pillow I wasnt scared of the toothfairy, as a matter of fact i couldnt wait for my other teeth to fall.

ReplyDeleteOne place that is special to me is my old house.i used to live there in 2008. O ne thing that house reminds me of is when we got our first dog. He was a poodle,small, and brown.Over the short time that we had together,we grew close. He was like a family member,ate with us,slept with us,and although he was little he protected us.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing that house reminds me of is how My big Siter and I used to sneak outside on the porch when my Mother told us not to. My Mom figured we didnt have friends over there because we were new,but there were kids that went to our school that lived over there to. So we were always outside late while my Mom was sleeping and my Dad was at work. We would sometimes be loud and obnoxious.
Everything has changed now,everyone is mature and is focused on school. My big Siter and I does not snek out anymore. In fact,we always stay in the house. But that old house is special to me, and remind me of good times.
One place that means a lot to me is my home! Each time I walked into my house I see a millions of memories that I had experience when I was younger. Now that I’m older and wiser I look back at the wonderful times I had at home.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best memories that I had in my house was when I had gotten my first puppy. I was pretty excited about my very first own puppy! He was the cutest thing in the world! But very stubborn. I still thought he was the cutest thing thou.(:
Another reason of my house meaning a lot to me is because I was mostly grew up in there.I was raise there my whole life. And i meet people that i still know now. i've known them ever since i was little,since..Well my whole life!And its pretty cool to have them still.
A place that has alot of memories to me is my very own house.I know it doesn't mean much ,but it's the place where I have grown.My house is 2 stories high,and has 4 bedrooms,it's blue-grayish and has a large front yard.Two memories I've had is learning to ride a bike,it was a very exciting time for me when I was young and although I've grown my feelings are still the same as ever though riding a bike now seems a tad silly.As well as that memory I have also learned to be responsible,especially in that house when I have been left in charge when my mother goes out with out us.Looking back they are silly memories,but they have helped me grown up to what I am today.
ReplyDeletea place that means alot to me was my old house the reason it meant alot to me was because there i meat my best friend n someone else but yea. that place means alot to me because there i got my first cat and birds.and i had my first sleep over whit my friends wich was alot of fun.

My aunt lives their now, and when ever i go in it leaves me with alot of memories.One of those momories was when my siater and i always pulled pranks on my uncle. one of those pranks was when we put dirt on his milk shake. It was so funny, how his face was wide like he seen a ghost and how he spit out all his milk shake on my mom.Everytime I remember that momment I alwasys laugh!
ReplyDeleteAnother memory that gets me in the mood a lot is the backyard. My family is always outside in the backyard. When ever i see the bakyard it reminds me when my mom is planting flowers, my dad is working in the garage, and my sisters and i playing.We always laugh and have a great time,but all thise have changed when we moved. Looking back at all thise, made me belive that all thise memories can be made again if we just try.And also it made think that maybe moving was a great idea because i met new friends and we are creating more memories to are new place.

A special place that means a lot to me and when I look back at it is Nightingale School. 2 memories that I remember is when I joined the basketball team and when I first came here. When I first came here I was scared because I didn't know anybody here. It was really different from my old school. So I had to get used to the changes. It was really fun as I grew I made new friends.
ReplyDeleteI also joined the basketball team in 7th grade. It was really fun and I got to see who I truly was. There I made more friends and I better at this sport. About all the smiles , laughs, and tears we gave for this sport. That's why Nightingale is the place that means a lot to me.
A special place that i have had memories would be Nighingale School. It bring memories of when i was in kingergarden and know that i'm in 8th grade. The memories that i have are when i first learned how to read and write. I had memories of my friend back in 1st grade and know. I have had a lot of friend that i used to see or know in 1st grade. It brought memories of how i changed buring the years. The pictures that they took make me realize that i have changed a lot during the past few years. Finally it brought memories of how well i have done over the years because i remembered on how bad i was doing when i first came here. i would usually get C,D, or even F's. Know all i get are A's and B and im happy about that.
ReplyDeleteA place that has a lot of memories is the park. The park has a lot of memories because that was the first time that I came close to braking my leg bone. At first I was afraid to do that trick again but hey after a while I didn't care.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look back at it I remember a bunch of people thinking that I was joking around. They were all laughing when I was in pain, but after a while I was forced to go to the hospital to get my sergury to fix my leg. Now that I look back at that park I laught.
A place that means a lot to me is my grandma's house because that is were i grew up from wheni was born untili was 5.its were my grandpahad a farm and i chased animals around in the field. it s helped mebecome a batter person because my grandpa taught me how to do things like farmwork.
ReplyDeleteA special place that I have had alot of memories is at school. Here at Nightingale Ive been for a long time. At first I was kind of scared but then i got the hang of it and now im hopefully going to graduate from this school.
ReplyDeleteI met alot of people here, some of my best friends I met at Nightingale. And We have had alot of good times(:
A place that means a lot to me,and a place that when i look back i have a lot of memories that i associate with it is at my grandma's house. Some memories that i have in that house is when i slept over at her house for the first time. When my parents left i was watching T.V and i started crying because i wanted to go home.I told my grandma that i wanted to go home but she said it was too late to call her. So, i went to see T.V.
ReplyDeleteAnother memory that i had is when my little sister was born. My dad was going to pick my mom up. I stayed with my grandma's house. Then, later on we went to visit my mom to my house. And my mom let me carry her. SHE WAS SO CUTE!!! What i think about those experiences now that i'm older and wiser i have a lot of memories in that house. I have a lot of memories when i was a little girl with my family.
The place that I have many memories on is in mysisters house because usually we have parties there and family reunions. One of the best memories that I have in my sisters house is when she made a surprise party and it was crazy. And when we had new years party it was fun and crazy i loved it . These are 2 of the many fun and cool stuff we have done in her house.♥♥
ReplyDeleteOne place that means a lot to me is my house over in Mexico. It means alot because i had a lot of memories there. One big momery i had thier was when my was curious about something and it ended up busting my finger opened. Another big momery i got was when i was little my mom would go to the tortilla place to buy. So every time she got the tortillas i would get them and i would also get some mayo. So i had them and i went the table and i made my self some good tortilla and mayo tacos. Now i dont like mayo because of that.
ReplyDeleteA place that I have alot of memories is the hospital. childrens Memorial Hospital was the name. I have been going there ever since I was about 10 years old. They might have seemed unpleasent but I hold them close. They mean alot to me. One memorie that I keep close to me is when my step-father chose to watch me and I was having radition and the thing that is bad is that radition shortens one's life. or that person will get a higher risk of getting sick or something willl happen with their body. it meant alot to me and I thiank him even tough I dont show it but it was brave to do.
ReplyDeleteAnother memory that I have in the hospital was when I was getting surgery. I have never seen my grandmither pray, or cry. & my mother told me that when I went into the surgery room she went to the little church in the hospital and she got on her knees crying and started ti pray. I have never seen it and still have never seen it. maybe one day I will, but untill then I can still remember the postive times.
I remember the old building in my school. Were there were lockers pink, green, blue, and red. Where everything was a little bit old I'm gonna miss this place.
ReplyDeleteI used to learn there for 6 years. In the wooden class rooms. Were I learned how to add to spell. Were all my old teachers are Im gonna miss this old place when I graduate
Well I've had alot of memory's in my house. Alot of things happen in there. We have party's and everything mostly in there and a two things i remember the most is the day of my block party and one of our new years party. So my has house given me alot of memory's.
ReplyDeleteThe day of our block party was a very good memory because we had alot of fun and I met some of my sister's friends and yea it was just very fun and cool. We got wet in my pool and danced and after the block party we just chilled in my house and outside for a bit still got wet and alot of people slept over.
Another memory at my house is when we had our new years party. It was so fun. Alot of family and friends were there and its just alot of fun, but now we still have party's but just not as much. Its still fun.
I have alot of great memory's in my house and there all really fun and great. Even though we dont have alot of party's any more our house is still fun(:

ReplyDeletewhen the days passed we met each other more we went out to siome places around were they took me out to see how arizona really was but it wasnt very good it was ok
A place that I have a lot of memories in was My old house on 50th rockwell. It was a cool house. But it had a lot of ghosts in the house. But the house was very cool. Because yhe house had a lot of hidding places to hide in. I remeber this one time my brothers and I was playong hide inseck. It was very dark and I was hidding in this one little area and i seen something pass by.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was one of my brother, i got out of the area that I was in to scare them. So i got out i seen the person ran up to him. I jumped on him i went right throgh it. I was very scared. I started to cry. My brother heard me he ran in the area that I was in. He told me "its okay."
A place were I a lot of my memories it will be at my grandparents' house. It's were I got my first motorcycle also when I learn what was work on the fields it was pretty kool.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my first motorcycle. I was at my grandparents' house and my was over there for my birth day it was really aswome. Because when I first saw the motorcycle I was surprise
it was a nice feeling and since my grandparent own a farm I could use it all i wanted. I fell a couple times because there were holes on da ground and I was going really fast. Even though I fell I still liked riding the motorcycle and ever since then I have liked motorcycles.
Another memory that I have at my grandparents' house. Will be when I learned the meaning of field work. It was pretty kool. I learned that you needed to wake up ealry. To feed the farm animals. Then in the afternoon pick up the hay that we will cut in the morning. The loads of hay wouldn't be that light espacilly if they were humid or wet.
I was a lot of more memories at my grandparents' house. But those two are the ones that I liked the most. My memories are mostly all from my grandparents' home in Indiana.
A PLACE WERE I HAVE ALOT ON MEMORIES IS WISONSEN DELLS. THAT IS BECAUSE IT WAS OWNAGE. YOU KNOW..YOU KNOW.AND THE 9 FEET WAVES OWNED.ALSO THE ROLER COSTERS WERE COOL.
ReplyDeleteA place that means a lot to me is california because i have memories there. My family is there for instance, and a memory i have is when i was born there, and i been told i began to walk,and i think thats special that my first steps where in california.Another memory i had is when i realized that was my special place to be because just of the environment the people because all the grown-ups would tell me what pretty clothes i have, how cute iam etc.
ReplyDeleteThe place that im going to write about is where I use to live.I use to live in 26st. everytime i go over their i have fun because i know alot of people their.I use to live over their for 11 years and i was always with my friends.will still be around and we go to alot of places over their.when i was in my old school their was a 26 their and mlds their and check my cousin.his brother got mad and we were deep and we went to go find them but no one was their we looked for them for a long time.I saw the next in school and i said why did you check my cousin. i siad next time you do that im going after you and if you said anyone after me or my cousin im going to send latin kings on you.
ReplyDeleteA PLACE THAT I HAD LOTS OF MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID WAS MY CUSINS BECAUSE WHEN I USED TO GO THERE WE USED TO PLAY HIS GAME SYSTEM AND WE ALWAYS PLAYED FOUR PLAYERS AND I ALWAYS USED TO BEAT THEM AND WE USED TO PLAT HIDE AND SEEK AND OTHER GAMES LIKE SOCCER AND BASKETBALL
ReplyDeleteA place that means a lot to me would be at my grandmothers house. When i used to go to her house it was so fun we would play outside all day.A very special event that happened at her house was when i started helping my sister ride her bike. My grandmother told me that i was the only one that could stand my sister because she would always cry when someone let her and she would start screaming.
ReplyDeleteMy mom told me that i had my first baby steps at my grandmas house and that i said my first word which was mama. I would always call my grandma mama because she would always take care of me when my mom was working. And she would always take me to the beach and to the park but i would rather spend more time at her house because i felt comfortable and i loved staying over at my grandmas house.
Now that i have gotten older i never really like going to my grandmas house. We arent that close like before but i rather just stick to my friends then cousins because then we always have problems and start fighting. But me and my sister are still as close as we were before we are always together and we can sometimes fight but then we start talking to eachother again.
I remember last year, a few friends and I went downtown to look at fireworks the night of July 3rd. We got there around four o'clock. First, we played football. I learned to always take things out of your pockets before you play sports. After football, we went to the playground where I noticed that my mp3 was missing. So my Adrian C, Rodrigo M, and I went back to look for it. Rodrigo almost stepped on it,too. We mistook it for pink paper that was all over the ground!
ReplyDeleteLater that night, the fireworks started and we all stared at the sky in awe. But after the fireworks, the streets were crowded with people. We all ended up using the buddy system to make sure we wouldn't get lost. The buddy system to us was to link arms. It felt awkward for me because I ended up linking arms with my two guy friends. Going to the train was really crowded, too. That night we all learned that next year, we'll take our own car. My parents went downtown too and got home an hour before we did because they drove while we took the train.
So many memories we all had together. I just wish we had more time to spend together now adays. School is here and homework is piling up. But we're all just waiting for summer to come again. Then we'll go July 3rd once more to witness those mesmerizing lights in the sky. But, we'll be better prepared by taking a car and making sure we leave anything in our pockets to someone who won't play.
I was spendind half of Christmas Break in Pennsylvania. I was so excited but also scared because it was going to be the first time I was so far away from home. It was the day after Christmas and I had to go to the airport and my plane was leaving at 10:45a.m. My grandfather gave us the wrong information so we went to the wrong airport. I was devestated because I really wanted to go. We went to the other airport and hours later I arrived in Pennsylvania. When I got inside my grandparents car i broke in tears and I wanted to go back to Chicago. Over the days I was over it because I got to see Pennsylvania and my dad after three years. I was only 9 yrs. old at that time.
ReplyDeleteI kept going back every year and to this day my grandfather still teases me. I went this summer and had a great time. Since I'm older and used to going to Pennsylvania I don't cry anymore. When I'm at the airport I wish that I could stay there forever because I really like it there. Such an ironic twist I guess. Now I have friends there and we go out on the weekends. I really like it now.
The place that brings memories is the school.It because I met people that are now my friends.Also because it is the only school I have gone to and I did a lot of things like get good grades.
ReplyDeleteA place that means alot to me is the place were I go to vacation all summer breaks,Mexico.
ReplyDeleteIt means alot to me because I had good times there. Hunting rabbits,playing volley ball, going to parties,etc. Stuff I don't get to tdo here in America. Like that time I went hunting for rabbits with a bunch of my dads friends. We killed them with slingshots and my dad's friened skinned one for me and gave me its tail. I had good times there and thats why that place means alot to me.
A place that means a lot to me is my house. I moved to this new house when I was 1. This was the house i grew up in. It was a normal regular. I had mostly all of my birthdays in this house. I passed all of 1st to 7th grade in this house. I think this house is the best.
ReplyDeleteThose experiences were some of best moments in my life. I don't regret any of it. I got a good life up to now.
A place that means alot to me is my sister's house in L.A. When i was smaller I used to live close to the neighborhood she lives in so I really connect with it. Once in a while I visit and I have alot of fun in that place. I remember one time we were all so bored and we didn't have anything to do. Then, my brother in law took out his BB guns. It was late (around 1a.m.) and we were outside playing hide and go seek with the guns. I remember my older brother was looking for me and I was hiding behind a tree and he was shooting at me. I didn't get hit though except for once and it didn't really hurt so it was pretty fun. That was a really fun experience and now that i think about it, i feel that it as a bit immature but I would still want to do it again.
ReplyDeleteAnother experienced I had was going out with some friends. We were supposed to get together to do something fun but then they wanted to go to some place that supposely was haunted. I went just because I didn't want to stay home alone. That day I had fun because everyone was so sccared and it was super dark. We had gone to this haunted canyon and it was super dark. I really wasn't scared because you couldn't see anything but it seemed like you can hear things. At the end, we all ran to the car because my brother supposedly heard something at the top and an alarm started to ring so we had to leave. That experience I believe was kind of stupid because I wasn't even scared and I could've been wasting my time doing something better.
Every time I look back at the abandoned house it brings back many memories. It all started when I was about 11 years old. I was at my aunts house and there was a party. All of my best friends were there including a blondy named Yatzaret, my half cousin Brian, Brian Jr.,Ricardo,Elias,Karen,Angela and another tall girl in which I can't remember her name.
ReplyDeleteI remember that rainy day in mid-october, when my friends,cousins,and I played truth or dare. Some were the most hilarious dares I had ever heard. The funniest dare was when Elias had to lick the sewer. I wonder what happend to him. I'm guessing he may have become a bad person since he started going the wrong way the last time I saw him.
Ohh. How I would wish to see that old house once more. To see the friends that I have not seen since I was a teenager. Just one more look at that house would make me so happy filling me with enthusiasm.
A place that means alot to me is Mexico. My family visits every year during December. One of the best experiences in Mexico was when we went to the the water park. Every one in my family was in the pool. The water was warm and everybody ws splashing water to each other. We swimmed and joked all day. This was a great experience because everybody in the family was included and we hardly ever get to be all together.
ReplyDeleteAnother great experience in Mexico was when I milked a cow and collect the chickens eggs. I had trouble trying to milk the cows. It was hard at first how to milk it, but then i got it. Then I tried to get the chickens eggs which was hard getting them because the would run towards me and I ran out of the fence. My uncle was there just laughing at me. I kept on getting out of the fence until I collected all the eggs for breakfast. This was a good experience because it showed me how it is to make a living in Mexico and how to feed your family.
I walked outside and smelt the fresh air, saw the beautiful lake, and heard all of the land that went on forever. It the the time that my whole family went to Indiana with eachother, we stayed at a really wonderful place, with really caring people. It was great we met a lot of new people and I met some new friends that were about my age. They wanted me to go in the lake with them, being my excited self i said yes, the only thing was that at that time I didn't know how to swim. So, together we went out into the middle of the lake. I was so happy, but then I got worried because I didn't know how to get back to the pier. I told them what I was feeling and they helped me get back. My family was worried about me because I didn't know how to swim, but then they didn't worry because my new friends parents told them not to worry because they were really good swimmers. I got back okay, but wow what an experience. Now as I look back on that day I realize that I shouldn't just jump into somthing without realizing what I was doing.
ReplyDeleteI had so many memories there but I realize that there was another really great memory that I had. Once, I went to Indiana and I was really bored so I borrowed a skateboard from my friends. I didn't know how to ride one so I wanted to learn. I kept on trying to stay on the skateboard but I kept falling off of it. I wanted so badly to learn but I had no one to help me learn, so I just kept on trying my hardest and finally I got it . I was so happy that i told my friends, come to find out they didn't know how to ride and they wanted me to teach them. As I look back at that experience I realize that if you just try something you will succeed. I know that, like all things it just takes practice and you will eventually learn.
That was a really exciting vacation to Indiana, I realized how to conquer my fears. and I learned how to ride a skateboard.
My favorite place is Mexico,thats were i can go with my family and have fun as going outside with a bunch of my cousins from Mexico that live at Districto Federal.I have alot of memories at Mexico because i went to Mexico when i was like around 2 years old.I had alot of fun every year when i went to Mexico.When i'm at Mexico,there is always something to do there and not just sit around all day like here in America.You can't stay in Mexico and not do anything for even 5 minutes.Mexico was the place that i have alot of memories at and have fun.
ReplyDeleteA place that means a lot to me would be the park. We always go there in the summer and play volleyball or baseball. It's a place that I felt free that I could just go anywhere I wanted and play whatever I wanted. It was were me and my friends meet everytime and were I meet new friends.One day I was walking around when I heard a girl crying. The only thing I could do was ask her what was wrong she said she couldn't find her mother. She was about five years old. So I took her to her mom and that made me feel proud that I had helped out a girl because if i need help I would want somebody to help me.
ReplyDeleteAnother memorie I had at the park was when I had gone to play basketball with my friends. We were having so much fun when I fell and scraped my knee. Someone rushed over me to help me. It wasn't that bad but the knee getting hurt gave me something. I got a new friend that would always hang out with me and have fun.
So the place that I have a lot af memories would be the park. It would always remember the friendships I had and wating nest summer for new friendships.
in my life, i have been to many places, but one place that really sticks out of my mind is wicker park. i started going there when i was in fifth grade when i was in soe summer camp. there, i met my friends that i now hang out with alot, like david, mario, angel,braulio,jose, omar, sal, joel, and viktor. there were many more friends, but these were the people i hung out with. we had alot of fun over there. we went tio the park alot. i remember this one time that me and mario were playing catch and then he threw the ball to high, and it broke a window. we had to run really fast. we ran and ran.looking back, i realized something:1) we were slow, and 2) we didnt have a care in the world. we didnt have to worry about school abd our future. we cared only about what we were doing. we were young. wicker park, in my opinion,is the best part of chicago.
ReplyDeletewhat makes it the best part oh chicago? you may ask. well, take a look. the atmosphere is just the best.especially during a sunny, warm, saturday. thats wicker park at its best.
I thought back to all the memories I had in Pilsen. To all the friends I had left and that neighborhood that was always packed with fun. Looking back at it I wished that I would've never moved.
ReplyDeleteI remember in Pilsen there were many stores near my apartment so I would always have fun. Whenever my friends and I were bored we would just cross the street and hang out at the pizza place. We sometimes didn't even order anything, we just went to talk there. Near the pizza place there was a store were many teenagers used to hang out in so we always went there to buy chips and just walk around. I always felt so free in that neighborhood.
Also, another amazing place was the park that was right behind the apartment I lived in. It was so cool how I could go to the park almost at any time because my parents were there to watch over me. There was a place where people could play basketball and i liked watching how the teenagers would sometimes get into fights. Pilsen was a fun and busy neighborhood that I would like to go back and visit again.
Everytime I walk around this neighborhood it brings very good memories. Even though I didn't have a chance to return to my old school I will remember that this place was where I had the most fun.
When I think of a memorable place I think of my neighberhood. Mostly because i lived there since I was 3. I had my first junkfood and it tasted awesome. Also there I had my first injury and I was bleeding a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy first junkfood was a pepperoni pizza and it was like i went to heaven. I was very young and very happy because of that pizza. When i look back I see me eating pizza by my tree and smelling the fresh air. I felt that I was cool for having it.
My first injury was in a bike training. I learned how to ride and the first time I fell of my bike with the training wheels on. I was embarassed. Then when they came off it was better. I was going fast and turned then i slid my knee through the concrete and i was 6 and crying and bleeding and shaking. It was a life experience.
A place that means a lot to me is my attic. I choose this place because it brings back old memories. The first memory I have is when I was 12 and it was a Saturday evening. I called over my best friend and his cousin so we could hang out and watch a movie. When they came they asked me if we could go see my attic because they had never seen it. So we al decided to go after we watched the movie.
ReplyDeleteIt was starting to get dark outside and every second my friends told me "Can we please go to the attic now?" So I took them upsatirs to the attic. When they saw it they took of and started playing around. When I told them to qiet down, they asked if we could listen to music so we grabed an ipod and put some music on. My friend then went to turn of the light s and we started saying scary stories, that's when we heard something on the other end of the attic. So we ran downstairs. That day i would never forget it because it was one of the wierdest.
Another memory is when I had a sleepover and me and my friends went upstairs because it was a big place. We all were having a good time. We ate junk food, we danced, gossiped, and had pillow fights. All my friends that came said it was the best sleepover ever because we had no one disturbing us and we did what we liked to do best, which is hang out.
A place that I have had a lot of memories is in my neighborhood.I remember one time I was outside with my friend.We were just sitting in the stairs it was like 8:30 p.m. and I saw my cousin coming with a dog.I got scared at first but then he told me to pet her i didnt want to but he made me.She didnt bite so i started petting her more.He told me if I wanted it I told him tell Carlos my older brother.Then he told me if he could leave it in my house.Then my brother came from work and saw the dog and said he wanted it so he kept it and since that day i take care of it and its like my dog that I really wanted.
ReplyDeleteAnother memory I have had was when I was inside with my sister n law in the basement talking waiting for my brother to come from work.All of a sudden we heard a knock on the window it was my two cousins like always mighuel and jose.I went go open the door from the back it was already 1:30 a.m. and i stayed outside with them.When we were outside we were play fighting and talking we were just right there in the backyard chilling.Something we hadnt done lately and I think its a good memory because i spent time with my two favorite cousins.
The place that brings me lots of memories is lincold park zoo.My father used to work there with the monkeys during the time I was 6 years old.I was able to visit when I felt one time they had a monkey that pulled everyones hair they called it "El Carouso".I when to give it some food and it pulled my hair.I was crying of the pain my parents never found out but I learn to not get too close to a animal.
ReplyDeleteMy other memory there was when they pass out candy to the kids they had that year a hunted house.I went in and some just pot out.I got scared that I reacted by punching the person in the stomath.It was funny but not to the other person.
My only friend is my room. This is because that's the only place where I feel free to be myself. Like I have some of the best memories there. Like that's where I discovered my drawing talent. Also I have bad memories like one time I was going crazy thinking of death as a friend. My room helps me relax and think of what has happened through out the day. It's my favorite place in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe one place that was very special to me was my old house.Before I moved I loved my house.Every day I would be outside just sitting on the porch or playing with my neighbors.
ReplyDeleteOne memory that I always remember is when my mom would let my sisters and me invite our friends to sleep over for our birthdays.I remember how crowed our house was and how we all go to sleep at 2 in the morning and wake up at 4 in the morning.We would only sleep for two ours.The whole day we were outside playing and just messing around.We would put the music really loud and dance in the porch.I really miss those crazy days with my friends at my old house.
Another fond memory I have is when my dad brought home three little chickens.One little chicken for the each of us.They were yellow little fluffy chickens.They were a little bigger than a tennis ball.Our backyard had like no grass letf because the chickens at it all.Those little chickens grew up really big and fat.M y mom promised to me that she would nevr kill them.Liar!Once they got big she locked me out of the house.She invited almost the whole block to have caldo de pollo, chicken soup.
These two memories make me miss my old special place.My old house.
I remember spending my summer at the beach.We would always go with our family.Cousins,aunts,uncles,grandparents,and relatives that can join us.I was always with my cousin,we would go swimming,run up the hill, and play in the sand.We were always having fun.
ReplyDeleteI was 5 years old when my entire family and I went to the beach.I saw the big waves of water,the wind blowing .I thought it was awesome I couldn't wait to get in the water. My parents weren't so excited though, I cshould have listen but kids can be very impatient,especially 5 years olds. My cousins were older and were ready to get into the water. I begged my parents if I could go with them. Finally they gave in but had cocern on their faces.I should have know that the water wasn't all fun and games.We we got their I ran into the water. I should have been careful because I slipped into the water and started choking.My cousin quickly pulled me out of the water. I was shaking and didn't go in the water until my parents came with me. I guess that what I get for not being patient and careful.
Another time was when I played with my cousins, I always have fun with them. One time we were all playing in the water when suddenly you see this dead butterfly floating in the water. I should have ignored it and let the butterfly be but ; i obiviously didn't think of that. So I yelled that there was a dead butterfly and my cousin picks it up and starts chasing my cousina and I. We ran because neither of us like bugs especially dead ones. We tried to run but he really hard to run on water. I should have just gotten out of the water but i kept running around in the water. Soon my cousin ripped the dead butterfly in half and threw it at me and my cousin.We scream at the sight of the bug.It grossed us out. From that day forth I know the best thing to do with a dead bug.
A place that means a lot to me is my neighborhood, or my block(same thing). We chill a lot there and spend a lot of time either running or playing football or whatever and maybe just eat a slice of Waldo Cooney's Pizza. (: Especially in the summer. The place is our 52nd and Washtenaw block. It used to be real real full of kids everywhere but then they sorta moved so now theres like half of them still living here. Anyways we sometimes obviously do a lot of crazy or sometimes stupid stuff.
ReplyDeleteOne memory is when we hated this one kid who tried to act all stupid and tried to do that 'cool' act with us. So we grabbed eggs from our house and decided to go and of course egg bomb his kribb. He lived at the very end of the block by the corner of 51st and we lived right in the middle of the block so it was easy until some little kid that lived in his basement was being nosey. The n after we did that we just went and ran through the alley and went through my friend's gangway. It was okay. Haha.
Another memory is when we were playing football on the street and we were playing with a lot of kids who were walking around. It was me, my friends Adrian, Tony, Peter, and i forgot some other people. Then one time a car passed Adrian kept trying to pretend he was going to throw the ball at the car leaving. The car was going fast and it right away stopped and you could here that loud screeech thing cars do. but we all thought the car was gonna keep going but out came out some dude yelling and swearing in spanish. But the thing is, since it was night, the dude had just came from the bar or a party or something because his car was blasting some paisa music and he was walking all messed up about it. Then this girl opened the car door and stepped out telling him to leave us alone that she just wants to go home and he did. Thank you miss! (: Hahaa.
52nd and Washtenaw was and STILL is a straight place to be but i still walk around so my neighborhood is my favorite place.
Everyone has a favorite place to hang out. Many times that place holds important memories. A place where two of the most important memories are is in Six Flags. It's a place where many people go but to me it's a very important place full of memories. It contains the story of facing my fears and hanging out with my best friend.
ReplyDeleteThe memory that I hold from that place was when I went with my best friend Joselyn to a concert at Six Flags. We hardly ever get to go together somewhere and this time we were able to go to a concert. It was our favorite artist who was going and we were excited about going. At first we went on many rides. Then we went to buy the tickets for the concert. The best part was that they were VIP seats.
The old family yard holds many of my memories good and bad.One of my good ones happened about 1 or 2 weeks ago. Whe I started to get my high school letters back. I opened them all there because I knew my yard was not going to take pity on me if I wasn't accepted.Unlike my friends that did.
ReplyDeleteAnother not so good memory is when I found out my mother was in a coma. I spend hours sitting in my yard just thinking. Then I just atrted to cry. Then 2 days later my mother woke up and the first place I went to was the yard again to just relax and read a book.
The time Ive had a an awesome experience was whe i was at my grandmas house in schuamburg. She has aklot of open space so alot of kids play there. So one day we decided to go to the woods at nigh so we did. We walked for hours and we had flashlights one girl was left behind and I was worry so i went back and I found her on the ground. She had a broken leg so picked her up and took her to my grandmas house. She took us to the hospital. Since than me the girl have been best friends. Now that im older I think I did the right decision.
ReplyDeleteSecond example Ive had was when i build a ramp wwith my friends. We were riding our dirt bikes and I decided to use the ramop I did and i fell because the ramp broke. But that was awesome. Now that Im older I think I shouldnt of done that it was dangerous.
Now that I think about it, I remember all the fun time that I had at a parking lot that used to be near my house. THe parking lot is still there but we don't live there anymore. It's a parking lot near the train station in Western. My friends and I would go there all the time to play whatever we felt like it. There are two big events that took place at that same parking lot.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the parking lot and my friends and my brothers were with me. I didn't know what was going on, but I just played along. There was a fence that blocked people from crossing to the train tracks, but we knew that behind some tree branches, the fence was broken and open for us to go in. It was still day out so someone could've seen us. We were now on the other side of the fence. The train passes by and we quickly crouch down before anyone sees us. We continue to walk down the side of the tracks. before I knew it we stopped next to a house. Abruptly, my friend yells "lets go, lets go" as he threw a firework at the house. It was a smoke bomb, a big one, and then we returned home. I don't know why we did that, but it was exciting.

ReplyDeletewith my family to downtown. My mom wanted to take pictures about everything and us. First,
was when we were on the train station. We were
on our way to downtown when my mom told us to take pictures for my grandparents when we were going to Mexico. As we were going through several places, we took several pictures. We ate at a local Mcdonalds. When it was time to come home, my mom wanted double the pictures now. My dad was getting irritated and said we didn't need so many pictures. My mom wanted to pose for one last picture with my brother and her. I was posing and the next thing I knew; I
was falling and I had deep cuts in my knees.
That was the end of our trip.

ReplyDeleteI remember the time I was with my whole family spending a good time.At the park call the branch .We used to go every weekends play volleyball,tack,running around ,rolling down the hill,playing soccer. I remember my dad teach me how to kick the ball and its when far away .Then when me my dad when to get it we saw a beautiful deer.Everytime I pass to the branch I remember my dad teaching me how to kick the ball,and seeing the deer for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI remember the time i was 8 year old its was infront of my house.Its was getting darker and my friend was teaching me how to bat and I hit this guys car they got off and wanted to get in a fight with my friend i told then it was me sorry they guy was its cool next time watch out.Everytime I see a kid playing kickball or baseball it remind me off me when I hit a car.That was a good memory me oh my friend that I dont see him know more.Its was a funny day being with him at night teaching me how to pat.
A place that means a lot to me is Mexico.The memories that i have is i would always go there. I have memories about my friends and the people that me and my family met the first time we went to mexico. I would have memories about mexico,when i had fun there and when i was always with my family i would also have memories about my friends.
ReplyDeletea place that means a lot to me is "la primavera." its in mexico in my dads ranch,its the biggest brightest tree in all acres.its branches are all deformed,which makes it good to climb on. i've only been there durning the smmmer but reall want to see it durning autum to see its great leaves transform to a big yellow orange purple tree. i was introdued to the big old tree by a young beautiful horse, i was roam in the field when i saw the horse it seemed to be scared of me. so i just stared every time i would get closer it would run. i ended up chasing her,she led me to "la primavera." i never stopped going there.
ReplyDeleteA moment i remember in "la primavera" is when i was playing with the dogs that would follow me,and i got scared because the started fighting and before i knew it i was up in the tree. i noticed that i was up there and i was scared because i couldn't get down.i was up there for while just hanging there. i was getting tired that i fell asleep. the dogs bark alarmed me and i feel off. i didnt cry or laugh i was just lying there looking up to see the bottom of one branch. i noticed that carved im that branch was elmo&lupe.those are the names of my mom and dad. i was surprised. i wanted to ask the mthe story but i prefered to make it up.so when i fell of the tree and finding the carving in the tree were the most important memories i had in "La Primavera"
A time that means alot to me is my old home beacuse i have alot of memories like bad ones and good ones and alot of people that i know since i was a lil kid.I still go visit there but when i do i get a weird feeling idk Why?

those are two good memories i had in ohio those two moments were great:]
I remember a time when I was going to the park I was really excited becuase it was a sunny day and I wanted to get wet. When we arrive at the park I could see alot of kids playing and getting wet. I could see the water fall and how the kids scremed everytime the got inside the water fall maybe becuase it was cold. I remember that I ran to the water fall and yelled becuase the water was really cold, but I didn't really care becuase I was really hot. Wheever I see Market Park that memory always sticks up in my mind becuase I was having a good time with my family.
ReplyDeleteI remember a time when I was 10 years old and my parents were making me a surprise birthday party. I did't know anything until that day came and everybody was yelling surprise!!!!!!!!! I was really excited becuase I never tought that my parents would make me a surprise birthday party. Every time we passed on my old house I always remembere how my parents made me a surprise birthday partu.
Well the place that means alot to me is my neighborhood.We have a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.One memory I have is one time I when my friend and I were little we were riding our bikes around our block.Since we were having a lot of fun we weren't really paying attention to where we were riding.So we crashed with each other. It really hurted and I started bleeding from my knee but it was still funny.Know I think we shuld of payed attention so we wouldn't of hurt each other.
ReplyDeleteAnother good time was when I was outside and I started chasing this guy because he threw a snowball at me.So i chased him around the block and than out of no where i slipped because of the ice.Now that I think about I should of never chased him if i knew i was going to slip on the ice.But it was still really funny.Those were two memories I have from a place that means to me.
The empty apartment in the basement was a very special place for me. It holds many memmories of my past. But now it was choosen for my uncles apartment.
ReplyDeleteOne memmory that was there was when i played soccer in there. The windows were covered with wood so it was o.k to kick the ball around. We had golli areas and a line in the middle to split it in half.
We also bike rid in that place. We used scooters, and skateboards. We had enough space to do anything.
the place that i got good memoris is my grandmom's house. It was a sunny after noon i was out side witht my cuz we were playing soccer and out of nower we found a baby cat and we keped it for 3 day's then it died so we hade to berry it. so it was fun finding stuff and playing with my cuzens.
ReplyDeleteThis place that means alot to me is large and green. It has swings and a pond where old people can sit by. Many people sell food, especially Mexicans.The place that means alot to me is the park near Kentuck Fried Chicken and a Jewel.
ReplyDeleteOne special memory that I keep hold of is the time when me and my mom went to the park to buy a popsicle stick. I really don't know why we had to go to the park to get a popsicle, but at that time we had to. This day was special since me and my mom for the first time in a long time,my mom had her attention to me and not my loser brother.I was 8 at that time and now I mostly have my mom's attention since I force it in me. To this day I look back at that memory since it formed a very friendly relationship with my mom.
Another memory I have is when we [by we I mean me,my mom, brother, and sister] went to the park and I found a $50 dollar bill. I was super excited since I had never seen a 50 dollar bill in my 9 yeal old life, so of coure I grabbed it. I couldn't really buy something with a 50 dollar bill since the sales people might think I stole it. So, I gave it to my mom since by that time my mom owed alot of money to banks. Now, she's closer than ever in paying up her credit card, and I stil look back and feel happy that I contributed a $50 dollar bill to the enormouse bill that I caused.
In conclusion, I haven't gone to the park and the last time I went was when I was 11, about 3 years ago. I look back at the park still and feel fondness over the special memories that park held in my younger days.
One place that means alot is to me is my old house.Thats where I first learn to cook.One time I was cooking I forgot to turn off the stove so the pan was burning.Alot of smoke was coming out of it we had to open all the windows and turn on the fans.It smell nasty because I was burned.My mom told me never to cook with out her. She didnt want me to do that again. !!!LOL!!! C(:
ReplyDeleteback when i was in mexico when i was really young like about a 1year old. i was born here but i was raised for sometime there in mexico.
ReplyDeletethe memories that i have there are good becuase back then when i was small i would cheer up my family when somehting bad would happen and they would smile every time they saw me.One of the best memories that i have there was when there was a fair or some kind of festival and in the middle of all the treats and fun my parents noticed i was nowhere near them and grew anxious.By sundown i was found safe and sound.Turns out i went to see some horse with a friend.
Yeah well another memory is how i tried to make some pair of scarf and while i was trying to sew them i got tangled with the yarn and somehow i was able to get wound up into a small taco of yarn when my grandmother saw what ive done.
The place I remember is when I went to my and house and I was palying and seeing moveis with her and I had so much fun with my and because she is nice with me and I like to go to her house because I like speing time with her.
ReplyDeleteOne good time it was wen I went to play with my couison in the park basketball and I had so much fun because I was speending time with her and we were lafing aloth because and then went she went home I told her telt go to the park agen because is so much fun she said ok let go agen so we could play vallabal
The place that means alot to me is a park.The grass was light green with dew in the morinig everytime I went my brother and sisters.The trees were tall and green and there was this playgorund where we all used to play at while our mom watched over us.This place was large full of life and always smelled fresh.
ReplyDeleteA time there was when my family want to this park and just spent time there playing soccer or then me and my sibalings spend time together and had fun.We woul go on the play ground and since there was one swing we each took a turn on it while we each pushed eachother on it to go faster until we got tired and got off.
I also remember going there with friends and just playing a big game of soccer every Saturday morinig.Then afterwood we would go and buy some snacks off the cornman or then go and play tag in the big green field in the park. As time when on friend by friend moved away and we just stop going to the park because we knew it would never be the same.I was never really happy then because all my long time friends have gone away .
Now thinking back on this I relize i should have just kept going to spend time with my family even though my friends went away.The park is a special place to me because it brought me and the people i care about together and now we barley have time to spend together .So ill always have the good memories at the park with friends and family.
As Im walking down the street i see my home getting closer to me every second that passes.I'm already there and i can smell the food already waiting for me.My house holds all my memories.
ReplyDeleteOne memory was when I was playing with a little ball and i didn't have much to do so i made a little ghetto goaly net so i can shoot there. As i shot the ball i kind of slip and hit the ball wrong and went straight to my mom's favorite mirror and broke. I cleaned the mess but i got caught because it wasn't there no more.
Another memory that i never going to forget is when i ran without looking in front. So me and my brother were playing some game then we forgot about it and i took his phone and ran. I ran faster cause he was getting closer. I was looking back and saw him point something in front of me and as i turned around I hit my self in a post then fell backwards.
The place that i had most memories was at my house.
ReplyDeleteThere was day when my friends slept over my house. We were quiet when my mom left the house. When my mom left, we destroyed the place. My friends and I broke the couch,guitar hero set, guitar hero game and, the bulbs holder, a glass cup, and christmas ornaments. We made almost two thousand dollars of damage.
The other memory was the time I punched my sister in her nose. At first it was funny because she was laughing. But then she looked in the mirror and noticed that she was bleeding. There was alot of blood on the floor and by the bathtub. But then we put water on her face and all the blood was gone. I stil got in trouble because my mom saw all the blood on the floor.
its a big warm cuddle house alot of laughs were shared and a lot of tears we shed.to people its just a house but to me its a speacial place i had good times and bad ones.
ReplyDeleteone good time that i had im my house is when all the family came to my house for my birthday it was a surprise party.they really made me beleave that no one was going to do nothing for me or even say happy birythday.when i walked in i was so happy that night was good in could never forget it.
one bad time i had at my house was on new years me and my uncle were fighting he ruined that night.that was the worsted new years that i had.we dont even speak to each other any more. know that i look back at it,it was a stupied fight
Summer Vacation,I was packing up my clothes to get ready to go to Mexico. Every body goes visits their family in their hometown. Everybody at least had one or more mories in their family hometown. Mexico is a place of fun,excitement,and joy. I like going to the warm temperature and breating that fresh air. There is always memories there when I go.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to Mexico my family hometown. I had a blast there. I like going there eat the mexican food and activites. The favorite thing I did ther was go to a Water Park called Splash. It took us about an hour of driving to get to the Water Park. When i arrived there it seem like Six Flags ,but it wasn't it was Splash! When i got in I seen alot of slides,and pools. The weather that time was warm. When we got in the pools it felt fresh because it was cold water like relaxing cold water. The coolest thing i did in Splash was go in a slide with my brother. It was the tallest ,and longest. When we were going down I was screaming with excitement. We had fun going on the slide. After that we ate some fruit ,and went back to home.
Another memory I had when i went to Mexico my family hometown was a fun thing. It was the last day in Mexico. I went to a downtown in Mexico with my brother. We went like early in the morning and came back late at night. It was a fun day .We did everything thing we possibility could do . We out to eat ,and then went to some arcade game. After that we went shopping on some clothes. We ate so relaxed, played alot of games,and came home with handfull of bags.
One place that means a lot to me is my grandma's house.
ReplyDeleteOne time I was at my grandmas house and we were having a party.I was hanging out with my cousins and we were playing soccer outside and frsbee. We had to cross the fence alot since they kicked the ball too much. We got bored after a while and went to jump on the trampoline. We were all trying to push each other off. In retrospect it was a really retarded idea because we might have broken some bones. But we did break my cousin's arm. I got blamed for it and we had to stop jumping on the trampoline
Another day we had another party. About one and a half years later. This one was Brian's party. WE had to do all the work for it. The parents omly went upstairs and went to see the CHIVAS VS. AMERICA game. Of course [Sadly]Chivas lost. It was so sad and it killed the party. We just went outside and had a snowball fight. A couple of us went outside and threw snowballs at some cars. One of them actually turned back but we hid behind the tree. We got introuble but they didnt do anyting to us
The place that has goood memories for me is my dads old job which was putting glass on cars.
ReplyDeleteThe fist good memory is getting to drive the fork lift around my dads job except i press the gas instead of the of the brake so then i crash but luckily i didnt get hurt or anyone else .the funny part about that day was that my dads boss was surprise that i could drive the fork lift so that day was an amazing day cause i got to drive the fork lift around my dads job.
The second good memory that one day i had to nothing to do so i start asking everyone if
they needed help they all said no except one guy so i start helping him until he tells me to go get the window from the compartment of glass so i do and then i come back and he said he will come back because he had to go to the bathroom so i wait until i continue to work on the car so then i tought of putting the glass by myself the surprising part was that i was able to put the glass then all the workers were surprise and tha best thing is that i got a raise on my paycheck .until this day i still remember that day.
when i had a memory is in my uncles house one memory is when i sleep over at his house.we had alot of fun we ate chips,popcorn,etc.Not anymore my uncle died febuary23,2010.So when i go to that house I remember all the good times we had together.
ReplyDeleteAnother memory that I have in that house is when we celebrated my birthday at his house.I was 7 years old and he bought me a cake they were saying"bite it bite it".I was scared to bite it because he willput my face inside
Passing by her house I remembered all of the good old days.My grandmas house was the best.Each Friday my whole entire family re-united at my grandmas house.At my grandmas house we cousins always used to go outside and play games such as freeze-tag,racing,cops and robbers,and many more.My parents and aunts used to be inside laughing and making jokes about each other.Everybody departed from her house late at night.On the holidays and when it was late at night we (cousins) used to go inside the room,turn off the lights,and tell each other scary stories.The house next door of my grandmas house was so creepy that we all used to be scarred to go near it.
ReplyDeleteOne special memory that I have was the fact that we cousins started to make movies.My cousin wanted to be a movie director ever since he was a little kid.His parents had bought him a camera and so we all started to act out scenes from movies.We used to go out to the alley pretending that zombies were chasing us while my cousin recorded.I was never a good actor because each time we looked back to what my cousin had video taped I always seemed to look at the camera.All of my cousins used to laugh at me and I myself laughed along.
Another memory that i have was the the store that my cousins and I used to go to every single time we used to go my grandmas house.I miss that store because inside we also used hide from one another when we were playing freeze-tag.The lady that worked there new all of us,since we were her #1 custumers.We all used to buy candy,chips,and drinks from there.
Now that I think back to the good old days at my grandmas house I find it funny because my cousins and I used to do dumb things too.I miss that place a lot and I until this day wish that my grandma would have never moved from house.
The Place That Means Alot To Me Is My WonderFul Home. Its Means Very much to meh becuase i grew up there And I Have Such Great Times With My Family.My Home remmbers me when i was a tiny baby when i first came home and my mom told me that i just kept on looking around.Everytime i am at home i feel really safe and loved by my family. In My Home My family and & i have Such a great times At my house Like the get togethers we have and awesome parties that stay memmories for ever.I wont ever wouldnt like to move to another house beacause my house is one of a kind and has to many memmories that i will always remmber.Like My sisters that got married already when they come over to my home they always remmber when we where small and how we used to be troublemakers and they even said it they miss home and the other place where they leave they like it but they dont feel safe yet but my mom told her soon she will.
ReplyDeleteA place that means a lot to me is my qrndmas house. It is very good to walk inside it. It has a very biq and nice view from the inside and in the outside, I like it because it has a balcony because where yuh can see evrythin yuh can even see a vocano that is very far from where they live. I like qoin there because it reminds me when i was little girl. One thinq dht i like when i go to mexico is when i get to go to my qrandmas house, a very special reason why i like it is because evrytime i go there i remember when she used to wrap me in her arms with a nice warm pink blanket sinqin a song for me to go to sleep. Or sometimes she would give me everythinq i wanted and you would never hear hers say "no" to me..
ReplyDeleteLast year that i went to mexico, my qrandma cried because she told me that she could still remember the way she used to carry me or play with me whenevr i wanted to..And she sais that now that she looks at me she sees me as a big girl and not not the baby girl she used to know 8 or 9 yrs ago but eithetr way she sais im still the baby girl she would always like to carry around her arms.
Another reason why i like qoin to my grandmas house is because whenevr i go, i talk to her as if she would be my friend i tell her all of my problems that i have here in chicago or sometimes i tell her the argumentz that i have with my boyfriend and she will hear me or talk to me in the good or in the bad momentz. My qrandma is very special to me because when im with her she make me laugh when im sad.She like my 2nd mom when im in mexico.
Even now that i go visit her she still gives what i want she cooks the favorite that i like and still listens to me and my problems and all those other kind stuff.Now that i look back on how good my grandma used to treat me it was very nice of her to treat me that way..and i would never forqet the good times with her.
there was a place were it was a home to me. i would alway's go there to relax. this beautiful place is my old back yard.every afternoon i would go in the back sit on the grass next to a tree and relase all my stress and image the wonder's of the world. i would close my eyes and image a beautiful world. ever moring i would wake up grummpy.my mom would say 'go it fine with me' i would hop in the shower then go outside, of course i would bring a blanket so i could sit on .thet back yard was amazing i felt like if i would be lifted up from underneth and i were to fly around the world. like if i were to see the beauty of it , my imagetion's were amazing,wonderful,out of this world .i would image green feild's me laying down soruonded by ton's of flower's rose's and white rose's i was in love with thet garednd i wish i could go back thet is my story .
ReplyDeleteEverytime I enter my grandparents' apartment it brings my back old memories. Some memories that can not be done twice. It's just some nice memories from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteAs I walk the stairs upstairs it reminds me of when me and my cousins used to hang and play. It reminds me of the day when me and my cousins did a swing with a table cloth and we got in troblem. Those kind of memories that I will never forget. It has being more than 8 years since that and I can still remember those memories like there were yesterday. When I open the door and see my grandparents sitting in the living room I hug them and tell them "Hello." That day was a special day because it was my little cousin's birthday and they were doing it in my grandparents' back yard. As I was walking towards the yard I was looking at some pictures that my grandmom has hang up in the wall and their werwe some pictures of my and my cousins with my little brother and they remind me of a lot of memorie. Like that one picture that i was wering a different dress than my cousins because we were playing in the back yard I dirty it.
My attic at the top of the stairs. Dark,Frightening, yet at the same time filled of light and joy. Many memories, that attic brings. From the best day of my life to the worst, from the end of many things, and from the very beginning of others. This is a place where the memories simply won't erase, but only one memory from it will be told...
ReplyDeleteA scary fall at the age of six that I learned a lesson from was one memory. Down the stairs I rolled, hitting my back on one of the stairs. For aroung eight seconds I couldn't breathe, I got hit that hard. Suddenly I caught my breath back again. I began crying and dizzy I felt. I was afraid. Soon I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Last thing I knew was I was in my father's arms, cuddled. Relaxation warmed my body. I wasn't in danger anymore, my dad was here. I wasn't in danger...
From the worst day to the happiest, I repeat what I said. Where the pain took charge, but where it was no match for the love. Those memories have the sound of goosebumping disaster, frightening violence, happiness, comfort, determination, loss, pity, frienship, truth, realization, bravery,pain, tears, belief, and love. Those times I will not forget. I was scared all those times, I was in pain, I had tears, I suffered more times in that place than I have ever suffered before, but the most important thing, I received love and comfort many times that I haven't received before.
My home has a lot of memories. Every time i go home I remember everything when i was little. Sometimes I remember all the good things happening in my home, even bad. One bad memory is when my mom and dad got into a fight. That was like four years ago. My mom was screaming in her room. My dad was screaming at her. My brother, my sister and I went running yelling at my dad, to live my mom alone. We were crying really hard. My dad left home and never came. back. My mom started smoking and drinking. My grandma took care of us while my mom is well again. I cried everyday at night. I stopped when my mom was back to normal, and continued her life. Another memory is a good one. Last year, I was babysitting a little girl. We were really bored. I heard screams in the house. My mom started chasing my brother and sister bighting them. My mom was acting like a dog. China, the girl i babysit, and I started laughing. she wanted to be in the game too, so she started bighting me. We all started bighting each other. Not really hard. A few hours past. We hide in the closets because my mom was getting to far. She started bitting us really hard, like she was hungry for meat. We made a plan. we got out, ran and jumped on my mom and started bitting her. she quits and went to sleep. The bad thing is the next morning our arms hirted a lot. My brother, my sister, China, and I had two or three bruses on my arm, but my mom had like nine or ten. The house was a mess. we had to clean up the whole house. My arms hirted alot. I couldnt touch them. That was two memories i have at home.
ReplyDeleteIt may seem like some silly old garden to some people but thats were I grew it has my soul and my everything.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma's graden is the best I nemed it the Angel Gabriel's Graden. It was so peaceful out there. When ever I needed to escape a proble or I felt like crying I would take the bible out in the garden and read articles from th angel Gabriel.
I remeber this one time my cousin had come home from school and he saw me in the kitchen, from my grandmother's house, readin my black leather bible.
He just slammed closed my book and said
"Close that stupid book and go make me a sandwich"
I gasped and went out side to the garden to weep and leave my shame behind.
"How could he be like this?" I said heading toward the left corner of the garden. I loved that corner especially because there were my favorite color roses. The roses were a beautiful and totally clean white on the outside of the pedal but ironically it was a dark bloody red color on the inside. This rose inspired me and usually I would always bring my sketch pad and draw an endless number of roses.
I always loved to name the roses so I named it The Irony. When I first heard the word irony I fell in love with it so of course I named my favorite flower irony because when you see it when it is not open yet you get that feeling of that rose being white but it surprises you with the inside being red.
Well I eventually go to where I was heading and said hello to The Ironies. I watered them and I fed them I admired them and I pulled out the weeds and by the time I was done taking care of The Ironies I was completely out of my anger. So I headed inside for the hose. I found it under what look like a giant bed of flowers. I connected the hose to the water and water The Sholars. The Sholars are the Sun Flowers.
After I was done with watering the whole garden and pulled out the weeds and admired my work I went inside and made supper.
This also reminds me of a time I was embarrased by my meany cousin. I was walking toward a soccer ball and he slammed my face against the concreted and harsh wall with a kick of a basketball. I was bleeding but I knew crying and telling on him would only make it worse. I went inside grabbed a cloth which I dipped in cold water then I grabbed an ice pack put over my left eye after I wiped it with the cloth. The cloth ended up dripping blood on the floor but I didn't care and went to visit The Ironies.
A place that means alot to me is our old nieghborhood.I was raised their since I was born to 10yrs old I had alot of freinds thier. I lived practically my whole life in that neighborhood that neighborhood was really calm and quiet with no graffiti or gangs in that neighborhood every person that lived that blocked never had problems with each other. Nobody had problems with each other. Diffrent type of race from white people to chinese to Mexicans.We never saw a problem between the neighboors.
ReplyDeleteOne memory I have in that neighborhood is when me and freind went to this dudes house because we wantec to play with him and his sister kick ball and join the other kids from the block to play. So, we went for them and for the ball at his house. So, we started playing and he was the one who had to throw the ball so he threw the ball and he threw it and he was so close to me that when i kicked the it hit the dude right in the face it was so hilarious because it hit him right in the face and it landed on the and I passed right by him and told him the game is still alive and the ball to and he just started running after me not realizing he had the ball right in his face.This was a huge kodak moment.
Another special moment is when we had a block party and all of the kids were having fun and the adults had planned a party were you throw cakes at each other and the adults started and then all the kids started and the kid that I threw the ball to he was the first one to throw me a cake and I still Remember waht he told me he told me "ha ha sucker in your face I told you I was going to do pay back.
Now I feel really bad kicking the ball to the kid and not telling him sorry but it was a really funny and kodak moments where I had so muich fun.
my old house was a place were all my family lived in. I had a good time living there. I remember when we alyas had partys and cookouts. the house was small and had white walls. it also had wooden floors that always squeaked when you walked on them. the house from the outside was red. we lived in a little quiet neighborhood that nobody bothered us.
ReplyDeleteThe place were I have alot of memories at is this park in joliet. One of my aunts lives there and back then, we would go visit her often.My cousin Francisco, Belinda,(my sister) and me would always go there. Bell was the oldest so she would look after us. I would be on the swings just watching them ride their bikes. Then we would race, and I remember I fell once, but instead of crying I just laughed. What I loved the most feeling the wind blow through my hair & laughing with them even when I lost the race. That park was were I would play as kid, & its what i remember about my cousin & were my memories of him will never die, even if he did. When I pass by that park I always remember when I was little & all those happy memories of when things were better.
ReplyDeleteA place that means alot to me was my old neighborhood 35th and Winchester. it was a very happy neighborhood with no problems and any type of race lived thier.
ReplyDeleteA memory that happened their was this time that I went to a frinds house were some of my freinds lived. And I went for them and for a ball to play kick ball. And so we started playing with some other kids in the neighborhood so we started playing and then it was my turn to kick the ball and Johnny (ball owner) and so I kicked the ball and the catcher/pithcher threw the ball and he got so close to me that I kicked the ball right in his face he got really mad at me and told me "Someday I am going to get you back". This was a very hilarious moment for me but I still feel bad because I never told Johnny that I was sorry and I laughed right in his face.
Another Kodak moment that happened in that neighborhood was when the whole neighborhood shipped in to make a block party. It was a really fun day. But the parents had planned something out, to have a cake party were you throw cakes at each other and the first person that threw me a cake was Johnny because he had told me he was gioing to do payback to me because of the kick I did to him with the ball and so I had so much fun but now I realize that revenge is not a good but still i had a great time.
A Place that is very special to me is Silver Birch Ranch. Silver birch ranch is a camp based off god and the christian faith but it is also a actual camp for fun a games. For the last two years I have gone to this camp and participated in the events that it withholds.One of my favorite events is the giant slip and slide, this slide was huge probaly about 100 feet long. It was just gigantic, we raced on our feet and had to go in and around cones then we had to crawl through each others legs and it was not easy without falling. Then we had to see who could slide the farthest and I came in second place behind this kid named James. He was a cool guy and we are still in contact now. That really made camp fun for me.
