Friendship test

My friendship was tested in a big way. On one Thursday evening my I was doing a routine face time with my best friend Chris R. He was freaking out. Not crying but I could tell something was wrong just by the way he said hello. I asked him whats wrong and he kept saying there was nothing wrong but there obviously was. I finally got him to tell me y saying that I'm his best friend and I won't say anything. He knew that was true so he told me. He said that he owed this guy $230 because he bought shoes from him a while ago and he couldn't pay for them because his dad took all his money. He said that he would sell his shoes for $70 and he still needed $160. I was struck with a decision. Should I give him the money and get in trouble with my parents or not give him the money and he get in trouble with his parents. I decided that I wouldn't give it to him because I didn't have a lot of money and plus I didn't want to get in trouble with my mom. He was talking about how non of his friends were helping him and he had known them since kg. I sprang up out of my bed and went to my moms room to get my money. I grabbed $100 and told him i would give it to him. He was so happy but then he said that the money was due my May 1st. He's Greek so his Easter is on a May 1st. He said that he would take money out of hs Easter money and pay him. Then he realized that there was know way to get the guy the money. As i realized this so did he. He had to give the guy the money before Easter because his family would be coming over so nobody could give him a ride. He needed $60 more. I jumped out of bed and I got $60 and when I showed it to him. He almost started crying. HE was so happy. He started saying how much he loved and how I was a brother to him. I started to cry a little bit and he asked me if I was crying and I acted like I wasn't. My mom found out a couple of days later because she looked at my money. She was pretty mad but she got over it in a short time.

Endings and Beginnings

At the end of this summer I want to look back at the end of this year and say that I completed my goals that I set. My goals are to beat my best mile time, make amends with everyone I have done something wrong to, not sit in the office ever again. I have one more but that is coming later. My goals for this summer are to buy a new pair of Jordan 11's, make new friends from church, keep in touch with my old friends. I have one more but that relates to the other one. My time at GMS hasn't been the greatest. But hay its all going to be over in what will probably feel like an hour.I have learned a lot of good things during my time in District 67. Some I will never use in my life and some that I will need to know on a daily basis. There have been many good times that I have shared with my friends and I hope I will not soon forget the fun memories that we share. I know you have meen wondering what my other goals were well the goal for the ending of the year is to get all A's and B's because then I will be able to go to Youth Conference in California with my church group. That is also my goal for my summer but their is something else that ties into Conference. I am going to ask out the girl the I have liked for over 3 years. My goal is for her to say yes. Like I said before Golf is a great place and I can only imagine how much I will miss it in high school.

Favorite fieldtrip

My favorite field trip was when I went to Holly Hill in Wisconsin with my bible study class. We were told to be at church early that day so that we could take attendance and then load the bus for the three hour ride. We had rented a van so that all of us could fit. When we got into northern Illinois and the land started getting hilly. We turned around and looked out of the back window as if we were on a roller coaster. We got to the church and had lunch. We sat around for a little bit and talked about life and the bills we had to pay. When we were all done we went on this trail that had the twelve stages of Jesus carrying the cross and when he was on the cross. When we got to about the sixth one we started waking on our knees, and let me tell you that was painful. Most of the people that were doing it were boys and we all knew that just a little bit of the reason that we were doing this was to impress the girls. We got to the end and half of us were holding back tears. Then it was time for the part we were all waiting for. The walk to the very top of the church. There is a stair well that goes all the way to the highest point of the church and we knew it was going to be hard but we did it anyway. Apparently I had rained the day before and we didn't know that so when we got to the top we all stepped into a big puddle and got water on almost everyone that was under us. We all ran to the side of the wall so that the people would think that it was us. Lastly we went inside the actually church part and we were all stunned at how much art there was. We really didn't know what to do because it was so much more different from our church. The weirdest part was getting communion. It was weird because we were used to the normal bread that we get at our church but here they were giving our souses. We didn't know what to do so we just tool it the way we normally did at our church. But there was something missing. There was no one giving out the wine. We just gave up after that and walked out. That's all I can remember because that was over four years ago.

Diary blog

Today is March thirteenth 2016. I woke up this morning feeling very tiered and wanted to go back to sleep. I looked at my phone and I saw that it was 6:30. I went back to bed expecting that I would have a full day of sleep but as I was going to find I had to wake up for church in a couple hours. The next thing I knew I was woken up by my alarm clock. I looked at my phone and it said it was seven in the morning. I looked at the top corner of my phone and saw that it was actually eight. I started freaking out like I had forgotten something important. I sprang out of bed remembering that I had church to go to. I got ready in a heart beet, woke up my father, and went to church. It wasn't long until I realized that mass was almost over. We finished the prayers and got our Communion. We went down stairs and ate in the youth room. It was pretty fun telling jokes and talking. Most of the people had left and There were only about seven people left. We stayed asked each other what we should do and came to a decision. We wold get our books and stuff from home, Come back and do our homework at church. After we were done doing our homework we called our parents to come pick us up. At home we all sulked about school the next day.

Love post

So, their was once a time where my group of best friends were still missing its final piece of the puzzle. Me. I had walked into the wrong class that day because my class wasn't organised yet. My classmates who had just come from Assyrian class so we went into the next open bible study class. I walked in knowing only two people. Daniel who I had know for a year. He had just came to America from Iraq and he would tell all of us story's of back home. The other person Ella, I had known her since I was younger. Anyway, the teacher was a nice lady with a soft voice. Her name was Juliana. At first look I wondered "How is this lady Assyrian." But right after I thought that I saw her husband. Wow he was huge. I mean wow this guy scared me half to death. Anyway I sat in a chair in the back of the room. So that the people that had always been in the class could fill in the seats in front of me and also so that I don't get called on. After the bible study I walked out. When I got home I told my parents about how good of a preacher my teacher was. The next week her husband Robert came up to me and asked me why I was sitting in the back. So I told him that I was new and I didn't want to get called on. He told me most of the people in the class. I asked him after he was done about the other kids and he said I didn't have to know those people because they won't last. He was right after every bible study I noticed that most of those people weren't coming. I would stay after class most days to help Daniel put up all of  the chairs. He introduced me to all of the same people that Robert had. I got to know the teacher very well she would hug me every time she saw me. The people that Daniel and Robert introduces me to where honestly the nicest people I have ever met. They were so welcoming. As time went on and we went on field trips and saw each other I knew that these people were going to be the only friends that I need in my life. I didn't see any of those kids during the week because they all went to Gemini Middle School. But every week I would look forward to going to church and seeing all of them. Sometimes my teacher would open her class an hour early so that we could talk. Sometimes I would skip Assyrian class just so that I could go in and get o know the people better. I noticed that most of the people would pull my teacher to the side and talk to her. One day my teacher came up to me and said "I've seen you look over to me when the students are talking to me and I just wanted you to know that you can talk to me when ever you want, here's my number." I fell in love with her right then and there. Not the kind of love that you have to your girlfriend but the love of a son to his mother. Like wise with Robert he was like a second dad to me and Juliana was like a second mother to me. And as you might have guessed I loved all of my new friends like they were my siblings. Now four years later we are still together and stronger than ever. We are also growing like crazy. When ever a new kid comes the same things happen to them as it did for me.

Larsa's house

We were getting ready to go over to Gena's house for the party. I was so exited to finally see Romile,Chris, Alex, and Larsa again. I had to go to my soccer game that started an hour after we were told to be there. I had gotten everything ready to go. We were off. When we got to Gena's house we were the first ones. That was a surprise, we were never the first ones. We were welcomed into their home, the adults went and sat in the living room and the kids waiting for the others to come in the living room. When Chris arrived he was so happy t see me because we hadn't seen each other since New Years. As with our family the kids rushed into the family room and the adults went into the living room. When Romile came in we knew that that was when the party was really going to start. We had three out of the four squad members here within 10 minuets of each other. My dad had told me not to eat and I knew why but my friends didn't.  So, they asked. When I told them that I had a soccer game they were all to happy to come. We made sure it was OK with the parents and we left. When we got to the Y-M-C-A my team was there and the couch was kind of mad that I was late but nothing to big. Romile pulled me to the side and said ''That girl on your team looks a lot like Danielle."" Which Danielle." I replied. He lifter his eyebrows and i knew which one he was talking about. I punched him in his chest, Knocked the wind out of him and walked back into the warm up. We won the game and in the car ride back we had a conversation about how geeky Romile was ( Which is a story for a different time.) We got to the house and went back into Larsa's room and she told us the her friend Marry was coming and Romile and Chris looked at each other and I could tell something was up and Oh yes their was. When Marry walked into the room it felt like the whole room got darker and their was a spot light on her face and her face only. Chris saw me looking at her like that so he gave me a little kick '' Sorry bro." HE said and looked at me and winked. The whole night I was left staring at Marry but she seemed kind off mean. She started yelling at me because I was "In her seat." Bro what kind of joke is this. This isn't an 80's super hero movie where the kid get bullied and the bullies say that exact line. Please. What a night.

I think that my child wouldn't fit in with the other kids. I also think that he would have a hard time making friends. I think that it would be hard for him to keep a friend because people will bully my child because of his horns, tail, pig nose, and his weight. I think that it will be hard for my son to keep a friend because he won't have many friends in the first place and when the cool kids start to bully my son his friend wouldn't want to be known as the kid who hangs out with him because the cool kids would start bullying him. The cool kid won't exept him because of his interesting features. Teenage boys are like mini Gordon Ramsey's. They find whatever is wrong with the kid and make fun of that. I mean even if he didn't have the horns and the pig nose and only have the big belly issue the bullies would rip him apart. Then if you add in the horns and the pig nose, he will be the laughing tock for the whole school.

FOOD

One glorious July day in Geneva Wisconsin. There were these three boys. Their names were Martin, Romiel, and Chris. They had gone to lake Geneva to swim in the lake and watch the fireworks at the lake the next day. The family's of the tree boys were walking around the town of Geneva when they stumbled upon a nice Italian restaurant.

When the boys got to the restaurant they had to wait for a long long time. When someone from the restaurant finally came outside to tell the family's that they can come in they were so delighted. The boys begged their parents to give them a separate table than the rest of the families so that they could talk about "Boy stuff" =). After a lot of begging and promises that everyone knew would never be kept. The boys got their seat. They were more than happy to finally be alone and get away from the parents and annoying little siblings. Then it came time to order. Martin (my personal favorite) ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, Chris had gotten the same thing as Martin had, and Romiel had gotten a burger. The boys felt like they could swim across the Lake, dry off, and crawl back and still not have the food ready. The boys talked a lot. They even played a game of would you rather. There was one waiter in particular that the boys likes a lot. He was so cool. He told the boys jokes, made fun of customers that used to come to the restaurant a lot, and gave them some advice on what to do after they left had left from the restaurant. While the boys were eating they told funny jokes about things kids did in their schools and the worst things we did without our parents knowing. When the boys families had paid and everyone was out of the restaurant they set the place on fire. No I'm just playing. The families took a group picture and they all lived happy ever after. Until it came time for school and they just wanted to sleep in their beds.

Random Story

When I nine year old, on a beautiful summer day it happened. I was watching my favorite T.V. show Phineas and Ferb. Their was a loud scenes in the show and I heard someone say my name in a very faint voice. So, I dismissed it. then at a quite part in the show I heard it again and told myself that if I hear it again I would go see if it was someone really saying my name. (BACK STORY ALERT. When I was little I always used to think someone was calling my name but they really weren't that's why I dismissed it so many times.) Sure enough I hear it again. I went upstairs and waited for it to come again and it did. It was coming from the bathroom. I was scared to go in because one I didn't want to see someone naked and two I didn't want to know why someone/something was calling my name so softly. I drew up enough courage and went in. When I walked in I saw my mother lying on the floor. She looked like she was about to fall asleep she told me to go get my neighbor and me being the idiot that I was didn't call 911. I know what you might be thinking. "How could you forget to call 911." Well listen I was NINE OK and I saw my mom lying on the bathroom floor. Anyway, I went back and forth to my neighbors house and mine because they weren't opening the door. Like anyone is going to open the door for some annoying nine year old boy in summer. I got back home and somehow my mom is still awake and told me to call my dad and tell him to call my neighbor to come over and get to my mom. Well that all happened and I still hadn't called 911.IDIOT. When my neighbor came over she went into the bathroom where my mother was and I saw the color in her face drain. She checked her heart because she had thought that my mom had had a heart attack. She came down stairs and called 911 and was yelling at me asking me what my address was and I told her because I had had it memorized since I was 5. She told me to go outside and signal the ambulances, which I did. As the paramedics pull up so does my dad. I think I saw  him jump all five stairs at once. After my mom was was taken out of the house on a stretcher my neighbor took me and my brother to her house and we played there. Long story short I forgot to call 911 which could have ultimately led to my mothers death, My dad became MJ for 30 seconds, my mom has a Colin disease with a long name that only I can pronounce, I had to miss my favorite episode of Phineas and Ferb.

Interstellar Movie Review

Spoiler alert.
 In spite of the theory that Interstellar would be one of those boring Si-Fi movies with bad CGI. It was the opposite. Interstellar has an amazing story, Exceptional acting by Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon, and Michael Caine. With an incredible twist ending that shocked audiences around the world. Interstellar is one of the best movies of 2014.

New Years Eve

On New Year's Eve I went over to my friend Rommel's house. When we got there we went around and kissed all of the adults. (All Assyrian families do that no matter how close/far you are as relatives.) When we went upstairs that's when everything fun started happening. One of my friends ( Chris R.)wanted to steal the champagne from downstairs. Of course, none of us tried to stop him. When he came back upstairs he was chugging a bottle. We were freaking out "What are you doing?" we asked "Do you want to throw up and get caught you idiot?" When we finally got him to stop drinking, we were all yelling at him. "You're so stupid. You idiot! You're going to throw up and get us all in trouble."

When we were done yelling at him he smiled, turned the bottle to show the label and it had Welch's on it. We all started to laugh. How could we be so stupid as to think that he could actually down half a bottle of champagne? The next thing we did was hilarious. The girls were annoying us and they were in the next room so, my friend who was drinking the Champagne said "Martin, grab the door nob and when I say three twist it." He thought that they were pushing against the door so on three I twisted the door nob and he ran into the door at full speed. The door didn't move. We started to laugh and walked into the other room because he had hurt his shoulder in the process. Three minuets later the door opens, It was Romiels dad "Who cracked the door?" he yelled. My heart drooped to the ground. "Oh no" I thought "Chris is going to get in Troubbbbblllle." "Who was it?" he boomed. "Was it you Martin?" he asked"No" I said "It wasn't me.'' "Then who was it?" he said. I was scared because I didn't want to be a snitch but I also didn't want to get in trouble. But as I was about to say that I didn't know Chris steps up and said it was him. Romiel's dad responds "Chris how could you do this I have lost all of my trust in you." and walks away. After that we all just talked, told jokes and prank called my cousins. It might seem like a boring party but it was the best one I've been to. When we went downstairs we say a big cart of alcohol. When the adults went upstairs we pretended like we were playing foosball. Chris told me to go by the stairs and watch out for adults. I didn't know what he was doing at first but then I heard bottles clanking and I knew he was drinking the alcohol. He called me over gave me the bottle and that he would go and watch for me. But, I refused because I didn't want to get caught by my parents or even worse romiel's parents.
