Something I Would Change

If I could change one thing that has happened previously in my life, it would be to have gotten my drivers permit sooner than I did. This change would affect me if it could happen. When I turned fifteen and a half in June I could have taken the test to get my permit, but instead I procrastinated. Well first off I did not feel like or want to read the book because I do not like to read or study. I also thought that it would be really hard and fail the test. This was over the summer break too, so I wanted to have fun and not study for a test. So over the summer I hung out with my friends, went to parties, and most of the time I played video games, because I am a hardcore gamer. But over the summer my mom kept bothering me about it so I finally studied some of the book and went to go take the test. When we got there the guy at the counter ask me some questions then I proceeded to one of the computers that were open. I began the test and read the first question carefully, and guess what? I missed the first question and I said to myself “this is really how it is going to be”. It doesn’t help that in the corner of the screen that it says eleven wrong equals fail. In the end though I only missed five out of forty. I also thought that the test was very easy too. I regret waiting so long to take the test, because now I have to wait longer until I can get my license. So if I could, I would change it so that I would have taken the test earlier.

My #1 Value

The person that is the most important to me and who I value the most, is my mother. I value her the most because she was the one who gave birth to me and raised me or else I would not be here. Throughout my life she has taken care of me. She has done this by giving me a very nice house to live in. She also provides me with food from her amazing dinners that she makes every night. She also buys me very nice things like clothes, shoes, and other things I like. My mom can be hard on me at times, but I know it is because she loves and cares about me. She also does this because she wants me to become a responsible and successful person. In my opinion, I think that I have the best Mom ever. This is the person that I value the most and love in my life.

My Summer

The one interesting thing that happened this past summer was that I went to Cedar Point. It’s not really that interesting because a lot of people go, but that’s basically the only fun thing I did over the summer. So I’m going to tell you about that. Well my grandma and grandpa took my two cousins, Quintin, Aidan and I to Cedar Point on a Tuesday. When we got there, there was a line to get in at the gate. After waiting in line we eventually got to the front and discovered that our online tickets wouldn’t let us in until ten o’clock, because we were not staying at the hotel there, so we were not allowed early entry to the park. So after waiting an hour in the slowly rising temperature we were finally allowed in. Since we were at the back of the park my grandpa wanted to go on the Magnum as the first ride of the day. I thought that was pretty crazy considering that I haven’t been there in a year. So we got up to the ride quickly, because the wait was only fifteen minutes long, I was already freaking out and this was my cousin Quintin’s first time riding it. Of course my grandpa wanted to sit in the very front to. I was freaking out even more when we started to climb the hill on the ride. But after the first ride I can usually ride anything. After we got off I went to go look at the pictures of us with my grandma and when we looked back my grandpa and my cousin Quintin they were gone. I was like wow they left us just like that. Two hours later we met back up with them after they had road all the good rides. Later that day my fifty seven year old grandpa wanted to ride the Top Thrill Dragster. He asked me and I said “hecks no”. We watched him ride it and for the rest of the day he made fun of me and my cousins for being chickens. So my day at Cedar Point was fun even though I didn’t get to ride some of the rides I wanted to. Well that was my interesting thing I did over the summer.    

"The Lord is My God"

Well to start off, I never really liked my name. I always thought it sounded more like a girl's name instead. When I was younger, some kids also thought the same thing and use to make fun of me for it. My name is like glue and after being stuck with it for fifteen years, I eventually got use to it. But as I got older, I began to realize that my name was different and unique. When my mom was naming me, she wanted a name from the bible. Instead of my name being spelled Elijah like in the Bible, my Mom changed the spelling to Alijah to make it different and unique. My name's origin is actually a Hebrew name which translates to "the lord is my god". There was also a Hebrew prophet who lived during the ninth century B.C. whose name was Elijah. So now that I know this, I don't care what people have to say or think about my name, because I know that my name is unique and different.
