my favorite essay

My favorite essay or at least one of my favorite essays was about our favorite thing or possessions. It was when I was in elementary I think it was when I was 10 years old and I was in the 6^th grade or maybe the 4^th grade mi not to sure.

But it was my favorite essay because our teacher told us to write about our most priceless possession. I remember when I was around that age there was this necklace that my sister gave me. My sister was always really nice to me because I remember that when I was young I would have problems sleeping and she told me that it was because I was stressed. Then we would always talk about stuff. She always would make me feel better because she was really nice to me and she always made me feel better she would tell me stories and make me things to eat. She was really nice to me and when she left for college she left this necklace for me. It was a black stone looking thing and it was really expensive. And she gave it to me.

She always told me if I ever missed her or anything when she was gone then I should just wear the necklace. When she left I was really sad but I grew up. But I still wear the necklace sometimes because it reminds me of the times when I was younger and I didnt have to worry about things. It was really nice back then I hope I could go back in time sometimes and just redo the things I did for fun.

That was my favorite essay to write about because I thought that just gave me a lot of good memories. And thinking about those times always made me happy. I always loved writing about my past and stuff like that. I now realized how much fun and stuff I had when I was younger.

my best holiday

One of my best holiday experiences is my 5th grade new years eve. My family rarely celebrates other holidays like thanksgiving or Easter. But because my family is really traditionally Chinese we always celebrate Chinese new years.
I use to always look forward to Chinese new years because my parents would always take me and my brother to a big party and people would always give us money. The money would always be wrapped in a red envelope with shiny gold sparkles on it. I remember when I was younger I would get so much money. There would be so many people at all these different parties giving us money. It was really fun.
I really liked my 5th grade Chinese new years party because that was the one year that I went back to Taiwan to celebrate it with my whole entire family. It was a few days before the actual date of New Years and my parents took me and my brother and we flew back to Taiwan. In Taiwan it was the best because there were fireworks and people dressed up as dragons and everything. It was really exciting to be so young and see so many new things. It was really a good experience.
That was also the first year that I celebrated it with my grandparents and uncles and aunties. It was one huge family throwing a big party. I really enjoyed spending all that time with my family in that time. I wish I could go back to those days and not have to worry about the things that I worry about now. And just be free and play with my family. I miss those easy days. I remember when I was in Taiwan that year my mom and dad took me and my brother to go eating at this really big and expensive restaurant. My whole family was there. There were always all these other people or adults that I didnt know. But I didn’t mind going because every party I went to people were always so nice and always gave us new years money. Me and my brother would always save that money and we still do.
We've kept that money ever since we were younger and we never spent it. But now most of it is gone because our parents ended up using it. There was always a lot of money given out on Chinese new years. Also it was really beautiful in Taiwan because there was this huge fireworks entertainment thing on the night of new years eve. There was so many people there and everyone would stand on the mountains or just anywhere in Taiwan. And we all counted together it was really really cool. Then fireworks would shoot our of Taipei 101. it was really pretty and I thought that was my best holiday ever. Spending that time with my family and just everyone being so happy. That was the best year ever.

my mission

My mission as a daughter is to always impress my mom and dad as long as they are still providing for me. My mission is to always do good at school and get perfect grades. Even if I dont get good grade I will always try my best to get an at least acceptable grade. My mission is just to make my parents feel good about having a daughter like me.

My parents go through the whole lot of problems to provide for me. I will always feel as if I want to make them feel happy and I know they are happy if they see me do the things they want me to do. Even if it might not want to be what I want in life. I will always do what my parents ask me to because I respect them. And I think thats its important for children to listen their parents because parents usually know whats best. And a parent will never intentionally try to hurt their own child.

My mission is to always do my best in school and show my parents that they are not wasting money on my education. I will not only do good in school but because my parents are Chinese I will do my best to learn that language. Learning two languages is hard especially when you are already in high school. But I will always do my best and practice it. I just always feel like mi not doing enough for my parents. My main mission is just to make my parents happy. No matter what I have to do and how much I have to put myself through I will do my best. Because I want my parents to be happy.

Teenagers these days always rebel and say terrible things to their parents. And I just feel as if kids like that really dont appreciate their parents. I feel that is one of the worst things u can do. Disrespecting your parents. You should always try to do what your parents want you to do.

When I get older and I am able to provide for myself. I will still always make my mission for my family to have a good life. I just think that mission is really important. Its really hard to always try to impress your parents. Because sometimes even when I am trying really hard to impress my parents but they just dont notice. And instead they notice m y other siblings. Its really hard to complete with siblings sometimes. But I know that every kid in the world wants their parents to be happy for them. But its not always easy. You cant always have everyone love you. No one is perfect

my mission for right now is just to always try my best to be a good student and an almost perfect daughter. I want my parents to be able to be proud when they talk about me. Doesn’t matter how old I am whether its right now or in 20 years. I always want my parents to be proud of me and proud when they talk about me to other people. That would be a really satisfying feeling.

RISKS

When I was younger I took a risk to play with a tiger. I remember I was about 10 years old with my family and we all went to Thailand just for a vacation. My dad always wanted me and my brother to travel a lot of the world so we know everything that happens and what places look like. So my dad always took me and my brother traveling. I rember that when I was younger I was there and I didnt really want to go to Thailand. I had choice to go to Taiwan. But instead I actually took the risk to go to Thailand.

When I first got there I really didnt like it because it was really really hot and I was really bored. But actualy taking the risk and visiting Thailand was actually really fun and I enjoyed my time there. I not only got a lot of time to hang out with my family but I also experienced all these new things that I never even thought about before. Like riding a elephant. And eating alligators. I had a really cool time when I was in Thailand and I really would hope to visit again someday. The risk I took going there was really good and mi happy I took that risk.

But the main thing that I am really glad I took the risk is playing with a tiger. Thats considered a really big risk for me. First of all because the tiger could have eaten me and I could have died. But mi glad I took that risk. The tiger was only about a few months old. Not big enough for it to attack and kill me . But it was still really scary. Mi glad I took I that risk because I learned a lot. I learned that life is so much more fun when you take risks. For me I must live an exciting life so taking risks is really easy for me. I believe that without trying anything at least once you cant really understand or know if you will like it or not.

When I took the risk to play with the tiger I had a lot of fun and the tiger was really sweet and cute and it didnt harm me at all. I enjoyed my time there. And now when people ask me stuff about tigers I could always say. “ I played with a tiger when I was younger” I think thats really cool. I always want to experience things that others havent yet. Thats why my dad always wanted me to travel to all these new places. He thought it would be really nice for me and my brother to know things that others didnt. He always thought that we should experience just about everything possible in life. And I really think so to. Thats why I am so open to everything in life. I am open to taking risks and I am not afraid of loosing anything. When you loose something you just have to find away to make everything ok again. You cant just go through life playing it simple. That way you will never enjoy your life to its fullest.

Taking that risk with that baby tiger was probably one of the first things that I took a risk on. And ever since then I have been open to all these new things. Taking that one risk made me realize that life is just about taking risks and being happy. If you dont take any risks you will never know the best part of everything.

if i could go back in time

If I could choose whatever place to go back in time I think the first place I would really want to go is back in the 5^th grade. It was this one time we all went to this one party at this place called Forbidden island. I was with me and my friends Christine, Abby, Hana, Amy, and Celine. Of course Abby’s parents were there to watch us. I would go back to that time if I could.

I would go back to that one party we had because that time we were all really young and all we wanted to do was just have fun. We were curious about everything we saw. And I remember that we would walk all over just laughing together and looking at things. I would choose to go back to that time because that time there was no drama everything was just simple and we never had to think about anything like grades or school at the time. That was just one summer of our 5^th grade year. And it was one of the best summers I have ever had. I would really like to go back and just play around like I was a kid again.

I realized that everything was much better and simpler that time. We are all going to college soon and will be separated. Its true that you dont know what you until you loose it. I remember during that one summer we hiked up there. Forbidden is really scary and it is supposedly dangerous. We were young at the time, still kids. But of course we were crazy and ran everywhere we could. It was really fun because I remember there was a rope that you had to climb in order to get up the steps. And Christine was climbing it but she slipped and fell. She didn’t get hurt but it was really funny so we all just went back down to help her up and we just laughed.

We also climbed into this tiny hole. And inside the whole was this really really pretty cave. It was filled with ocean water that was flowing in from a tiny hole at the bottom of the cave. The cave was surrounded by a whole bunch of rocks but it was just really beautiful. I remember we climbed into that hole and in the cave. We stood on top of the cave rocks and looked down at the water. The cave was lit up because the sun was still up so the water was very clear and we could see every tiny little stone that was on the bottom. We all jumped together into the water and swam.

Our parents were back out on the beach cooking hamburgers and meat for us. After we all had dinner we built a camp fire. We just all sat there and talked about the boys we liked and the girls we were fighting with at the time. But of course there was not much serious problems like the ones that we have to deal with now.

Times like that, when mi just with my closest friends not thinking about anything and just having fun in the wild really make me want to go back in time and just stay there. I wouldnt want to change anything because back then everything was perfect in my eyes. I didnt need a lot to be happy. All I needed were my friends and some time out in the sun and I would be satisfied. The feeling of blissful nothingness is really something to enjoy while it lasts. If I could just go back in time for one day I would go back to that day in the summer and just enjoy it.

I would want to go back because first of all we are all leaving to college very soon and I would probably spend all my time working in school and I wouldn’t be able to see my childhood friends anymore. I just want to play with my friends and my family as much as I can before I fly off to another country. Spending quality time with the people you love is really important. And you really dont know what you have until you move away or dont have it anymore.

WHAT I WANNA CHANGE

When I wake up in the morning usually the first thing I see is my window and a tree outside my window. I see my computer desk and its usually very messy. So when I see the tree I sometimes want to cut it down. The tree outside my window is really old and its a coconut tree. My window has metal bars on it because when I was younger my brother would tend to sleep walk a lot. And one time he opened the window when he was sleeping and my parents freaked out. So since then my dad put metal bars on the window.

The window is just a normal window but because the bars are really old they started to rust. So it looks really scary and my window is black so its really boring. So when I wake up in the morning or just when I wake up every morning the first thing I see is always that one window. I look that way every morning because thats the window thats closest to my bed and my curtains sometimes aren’t closed so light shines in. when I see the window I always feel really bored and I wanna go back to sleep. Because its so dull and boring and plain. Also because in the morning the birds on that old tree out my window chirp and it is so annoying. I cant ever go to sleep because of the chirping. If it is a school day than its ok for the birds to wake me up but if it is a Saturday or a Sunday I get very mad and I sometimes shout at my window.

All I see every morning is a black rimmed window what metal rusted bars on it. With a really old and broken down tree outside of it. So I would really want to cut down that tree because of the birds and maybe plant a new tree. One that isnt so old and covered in moss and dirty. I would also love to be able to take down all the metal bars on my window so I dont feel like as if I am in prison all the time every morning when I wake up. I would want to paint my room pink and my window rimmed with glitter and sparkly things. That way when I wake up and see the light shine in everything will light up and be really nice.

After I change my window I will change my curtains from my normal plane red ones to a really nice and royal looking curtain. The ones with the bows and flowing sashes. I think those are really pretty and I feel like mi a princess. I think that would change my entire morning. Just seeing everything in a much nicer and less boring way. I wouldnt wanna go back to sleep so quickly I would actually try to get up from bed and now be late to school. I would also probably not be so cranky at school or when I am with my friends. Seeing something nice in the morning when you wake up is a big part of your entire days. Sometimes the first thing you see in the morning will determine your entire feelings throughout the day. But thats just my opinion because I always feel really tired in the morning and I feel bored the whole day at school.

Thats just one of the things I would change if I could but I cant because the tree first of all isnt part of my parents property so I cant just go around cutting down other peoples trees. Also I cant remove the bars from my window because my parents think thats to much trouble. And they think that its much safer to have bars on my window so other people cant get in. and I agree I think thats a valid reason to keep the bars on my window even though I feel like I am a criminal or something.
