  What Was the Best Birthday Present I’ve Ever Had

  The best birthday present I’ve ever received, are my geckos. There names are Spot, Axel, and Benjamin, and have brought me the most joy out of all the presents i’ve ever received. Axel is really funny and small, and he is usually a lone wolf. Spot is best friends with Benjamin, always near him, except at night, and has always been wanting to adventure my room. Benjamin is pretty stationary, in his little house hide, a hide is a thing they hide in or under, and is always hungry for crickets and Zophobas Morio or super worms. These geckos are awesome!

  Who is the influential person in my life and why?

  The most influential person in my life is Jesus. Jesus has almost always answered my prayers, and if he has not, it was for good reason. Jesus is my lord and savior, and I believe he died for me and everyone in this world. I guarantee you right now he’s working wonders for someone. He won’t hesitate to save us while we often do hesitate. and he is perfect in every way, while we are not. He deserves our respect in this life and the rest.

  What is your favorite way to learn and do schoolwork?

  My favorite way is to do half, take a break and do the other half. I feel this way because after the break I have a new mind, and do better. It also helps me to not overwhelm myself. It helps me have a stress free day. Thats why I do it that way.

  What Is My Dream Job?

  There are a couple of jobs that I want to have, And they are either being a chef or vet. Being a chef was a cool idea because I really like cooking and it could be really good for me to make a living off it. Being a chef is cool and all, but if you get to be really good at being a vet, you can get like agreements with the government to own a living breathing TIGER. Yes you heard me, A TIGER. Chef really sounds cool, but as you can tell being a vet is better. Hopefully I can become a vet.

  What I was scared of, but tried it anyway, and was glad I did

  Earlier this year, I tried out zip-lining, and lets just say I was scared out of my mind. we got there and it was massive spanning over at least 200 feet up in the air and I am deathly scared of heights. I tried it anyway, and It was FUN. I felt like I was flying, and I didn’t want to stop. Thats why it’s not so bad facing your fears.`

  What I Like About My Neighborhood 

  I like a couple of things about my neighborhood, but there are a couple other things I don’t like. First, I really like the landscape, and how it’s all laid  it somehow feels ancient. It reminds me of how great my life is. Now, I don’t like the road. It has so many bumps and pot holes that my Dad Literally called it, “The worst road in New York state.” I also like the people like our neighbors, Bruce and Karyn. However, I  don’t like how few kids there are. It just seems like it’s a neighborhood for older people. I think my neighborhood is good, although  I just hope they change the bumps and potholes in the road. Until then, it will reman, “The worst road in New York state.”

• My Favorite Things To Do

  Sep 24, 2025

  My favorite things to do are to be with friends, play video games, and read books. Being with friends has always been fun to me. Something about it brings joy to me, and it’s probably the jokes, games, and things we do in general that make me happy. Playing video games with my brother helps me remind myself how blessed I am to have him. He is the best brother ever. Reading books passes time when I’m waiting for something, it also gives me a ticket to go to my room and do whatever I want! These activities make life better for me.

• My Favorite Summer Vacation

  
  My favorite summer vacation is our Nags Head trip. On our trip, we drove 12 hours to get to Nags Head and we stayed seven days. On the first day, we got used to being at Nags Head and went to the market to get food for the week. The next day, we got a bunch of little souvenirs and visited a lot of places like the aquarium and the beach. We took the next day to just relax after all the activity.  Next, we went out to buy clothing and some really special food at a trendy sushi place. We got ice cream at Bootie Treats, a really popular ice cream shop. Then we went the beach and played  for most of the day. We said goodbye and left on the last day and headed to Gettysburg.
