The Ride of My Life

My foot jammed underneath the foot brake - this was a manual ATV.  My heart races as I speed down the biggest slope on the whole mountain backwards.  I cannot move.  The ATV was hitting rocks that caused the handlebars to move side to side.  My friend, hollering my name behind me as I am about to bash into him.  Suddenly I hit a rock I turned to the other direction.  I continued to go down passed him the edge of the cliff is just behind me.  I get my foot to the break but I hit another rock and the ATV goes berserk it changes direction completely but I missed the cliff.  My heart slows down knowing that I am not going to die on this cliff but I do not know what awaits behind me.  My helmet slips round I am blinded and beginning to suffocate.  I near the end of the hill.  The instructors followed after me.  My friend jumps off his ATV and runs towards me and I keep thinking in my head "this is it".  There is a copse of trees behind me as I look over my shoulder.  The biggest tree lay ahead.  "BOOM".  I tumble off and hit multiple trees I am covered in dirt.  I close my eyes and think to myself "I am a survivor".

I Resolute This Statment....

This year of 2011 I have two major resolutions. One is to get more organized, not only in school but also in my home in my work places or in my bedroom. The second is to learn Malay, to communicate with others.

The word "ORGANIZATION" used to mean nothing to me until today. Today is the day that I will begin to create a start for my new years resolution. In organization area there are a few things I need to work on. One, is in class I need to bring all my supplies in like a pencil various amounts. Several pens, at least one eraser, whiteout and some other supplies. Also in school I need to concentrate in class so that information is not everywhere. Also I need to concentrate so that I will do better in my work. My homework does not get done in time sometimes, I believe it is because I do not listen in class for the information. Or perhaps I just don't get stuck into it. I always loose things around my house, like binders,  homework, water bottles.... I need to learn to keep things in place.

Organization, not only at school but also at home. My work space where I do my homework is just a pile of junk sometimes. Other times it is clean, but when it is clean I can't find anything so I need to figure out a way to have my junk but to the side where I can still find everything but I have a clean work space. In my bedroom sometimes I think it is a bomb shelter. Everything is everywhere. It gets cleaned every other day but it doesn't stay that way for long. I have my clothes everywhere. There are toys on the floor, bed sheets everywhere. I think I need to find a way to organize my toys into boxes and learn to put them away. Make my own bed every morning. This Resolution has been the same for two years now. I have never gotten round to sticking to it.

The second is to learn Malay. Everywhere I go people try to talk to me in Malay and people keep saying learn Malay. I am living in Malaysia I need to learn Malay some places I go the teach me a bit and I still remember what they taught me. Another thing is sign's they are all in Malay. Directions are in Malay. I think Malay would be a good language to learn but I am just afraid if it will interfere with my Spanish or my after school activity. (If I do Malay for and after school activity). My mom may home school me because she speaks some Malay.

These are my new year resolutions that I will stick to.
