The Best Place in Texas

Mar21

My favorite place Texas is: Austin,TX. There are so many things you can do. You can never run out of ideas on what to do. Austin is truly the best place.

One of my favorite places to eat is Chuy’s Tex Mex Restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious. I usually order the beef fajitas because when I get them they are always crispy brown. And the flavoring they put on the fajitas is great! The cool thing about Chuy’s is, you can find the very first Chuy’s restaurant right in the heart of Downtown Austin. You can always leave Chuy’s with a smile on your face.

Another must-see place in Austin you have to visit is the University of Texas. The tower for the University is amazing. The tower, rings every hour which is pretty cool. This is where orange and white bleed. The one thing you can’t miss is, the big fountain at the front of the university.

My favorite thing to do in Austin is Paddle Board on Lady Bird Lake. The lake is beautiful. The sun shines on the lake so perfectly that you will never want to leave, especially when the sun starts to set. Even though paddle boarding is a bit of a struggle, it is worth struggling for.

All of these things are just some of the wonderful things you can do in Austin,TX. If you ever wanted to come to Texas for any reason, your first stop should defiantly be Austin. With my experience of Austin, there is no other place I would rather go.

The 4th of July

Feb22

July fourth is probably my favorite holiday. It represents the good times by celebrating through-out the day. I enjoy the 4th of July.

First off, I love the fireworks the most. Last year I got to go down to Michigan and wake fireworks from the lake. The fireworks might be loud but they are just… beautiful. The different varies of colors and “shapes” are so cool! The fireworks are truly amazing to watch.

Another thing I adore during the 4th of July are the parades that people “host”. They usually come up with the neatest floats. There can be a float my height or a float eight times my height. Then, once they give out candy, beads, or food, that’s when the parade really starts. The parades are just “the bomb”.

To wrap it up, the 4th of July is awesome! There are just too many things you can’t do on this day. It’s the best day of the summer. I can’t wait for this years 4th of July!

Tennis Tournament

Feb1

The sun was brightly shinning that summer day.

“Heads or tails”, the official asked.

“Tails” , I said.

My prediction of the coin toss was right, I then decided I wanted to receive the ball first. My hands were already sweating a bit.

This was was the Championship.

I was even more stressed because I was playing against one of my former soccer teammate. This didn’t stop me from losing my determination from winning. I then got low in ready position. The first ball came towards me I hit with no aggression. But then the ball came back to me, I then sung with 60% of my power.

I succeeded.

Throughout the game their were many many rallies back and forth. I won the 1st game… 2nd game… 3rd game and all every other game until the 6th game.The six game my opponent beat me, but I was able to win the 7th game. I won that set 6-1. I just needed to win one more set for my victory.

My opponent and I took about 7 minutes for a quick break. Then we headed back on the court to finish the match up.

But this time she was on a winning strike, game one went by then two and three and four. I tried to put my head in the game. I then won a game. The score was now 1-4. I kind- of guessed this set was going to be a “toughly”. My predication was incorrect though, I was able to catch up to her, it was 4-4 now. The wind was blowing in now. This meant good and bad. She was able to beat me in the 9th game, with the wind helping her curve her balls. All she needed was one more game to tie the sets. I just need to win two more games. I won the next game with putting everything I had left. It was getting real intense now. Once we started the 11th game, she was starting to lose much of her energy while I was filled with a little bit more energy then her. The 11th game want to me. Now, I just need ONE MORE GAME.

It was my turn to serve too. I tossed the ball up in the air and then swung down. I missed, it landed out. I tried again with my second serve… it didn’t make it in. Game score was: 0-15. She served and it landed in her first try. I was able to return it to her, but I had the return tricky. I gave her a short ball to run to and she wasn’t able to return it back. Game score: 15 all. I served and aced it, which gave me an automatic point. Game score: 30-15. I served again and she returned it as a long ball, I backed up and swung for a return back. She then got in position and swung hard, but her ball landed out, by an inch. Game score: 40-15. My serve still. I tossed the ball straight up and got my grip in a firm position and swung. She returned it back to me smoothly then I returned it smoothly. All of a sudden she started coming up to the net. I put my arm high in the air, in a position to give her a overhead and I did it!
I won my 3rd Tournament of that summer!

Barton Creek Ice Skating

Dec7

This past Friday night I went Ice skating for the first time, since 2 years ago. My plans were different before through. I was suppose to go to Dallas for a swim meet, but they cancelled it last minute because of pretty bad whether conditions. I personally was glad it was cancelled, because then I was able to ice skate with my friend.
I went on my bus, sat down and got on my phone. Sense I have my phone on silent in my locker the whole day, I never see text or hear them. But, Once I pressed the home button, there was a message waiting for me. It was from my friend saying, Your going ice skating with me!!! My body went from sluggish movement to excitement movement, as I walked to my house, from the bus stop. Then, she came to picked me up.
Once we got to the ice rink there was really nobody there. I liked it to, it’s like it was all to ourselves. Then, our mouths became frozen sen e it was freezing outside. So, we got some hot chocolate and sat by the bonfire, set up. It was the best feeling ever. After we finished our hot chocolate, more people started showing up. By the time we got back on the ice, there was about 23 people on too. But, the session was almost over anyways. But, the most important part is that I had the best time of my life with my friend.
