Nick Stone
1. Eat everyday- Eating is a very important thing to do every day. Everyone on this earth has to eat on a daily bases to stay alive. It’s good to have around 3 meals a day to make sure you got enough to fill you for the day.
2. Learn from my mistakes- If you don’t try to learn from the mistakes you make you might end up making the same mistake again. If you did something that got you in trouble you should learn something out of it to know not to let it happen again.
3. Have as much fun as possible in any situation- live your life to the fullest always give your best and have fun doing it. Even if you don’t like what you’re doing try to make it as fun as possible to get through it.
4. Never make negative comments toward other people- making people feel bad makes you feel bad why would you even say something negative to someone that hasn’t done anything to you before that just shows that you’re not a good friend or person.
5. Treat others how you would like to be treated- everyone wants to be treated with respect and not many people get it. If you don’t want someone to pick on you don’t go pick on someone else. Treat everyone with equal respect.
6. Never exclude anyone in any event so everyone can feel good-don’t leave anyone out of an event just because you don’t like them or know them. Just because someone isn’t good at something doesn’t mean you can exclude them from it.
7. Give my best toward everything I do so I get as much as I can out of it- always give it your all and never give up until it’s over. If you aren’t trying your hardest what’s the point of even trying at all. In every chance you get take it as far as it will go while you still can.
8. Cherish every good moment like it’s your last-always be happy so others are happy around you whatever the situation keep a smile on. Enjoy every good moment you have left because you never know when your last one is going to be here.
9. Use my money wisely and don’t throw it away on stupid things- don’t waste my money on stupid things that that I don’t need. Save my money for something that’s important to me in the future like a house or a car instead of buying candy and pop.
10. Give everyone a chance- give everyone a chance no matter who it is or what they look like. Just because someone doesn’t look the same as you doesn’t mean there weird or something. Everyone is different in their own way we are not all perfect or close to being the same at all.

My car

My car is going to be a 1996 ford mustang coupe I choose this car because it was in nice condition and I like mustangs. The price of my car is $3,000 and it has 185,000 miles on it. I looked at a lot of car and I decided to choose this one because it was the nicest looking one that I saw and it’s faster than most cars that I could afford. I also liked the color of the car and the fact that almost everything still worked inside.

Dear Santa,
I have been naughty
I came home 1 hour late on a school night.
I told my mom I hated her and I yelled at her.
I got caught by the cops for sneaking out.
I’ve lied to my parents to try to get out of trouble but they found out.
I cheated.
I have been nice
I helped my grandma move out of her house.
I babysit my sister all the time.
I helped my grandma around the house when she got out of the hospital.
I mowed my lawn every week during the summer for my dad.

Thanksgiving
Every thanksgiving my whole family goes to my grandma’s house for a feast. My uncle and aunt and cousins all come in from Chicago to stay at my grandmas for the break. Every year the same people come to my grandmas my 2 uncles and my aunt and my 3 cousins all come along with my family which includes my mom, step-dad and my 3 older brothers. Every year we eat the same thing we have mashed potatoes and gravy and a big turkey along with stuffing and beets and a big salad and these delicious rolls that my grandma makes. For dessert we have two different kinds of pie we get the original apple pie and a chocolate crème pie.
Every year a day after thanksgiving my uncle takes me and my cousins to a hotel and we stay there for one night and we go swimming and usually every hotel he picks has a water park so me and my cousins are in there all day until closing time then we sleep and go home the next day the last two days of the break we don’t do a whole lot. Last year my step dad took me and my cousins to a movie but I don’t know about this year. Thanksgiving is probably my second favorite holiday except Christmas but the cool thing is there right next to each other on the calendar. I love thanksgiving so much because it’s a time to bring your entire family together to eat the best meal of the year.
