New Years

We arrive at the beach during the morning sun rise. Jumping out of the car racing towards the shiny water. The beach packed with people, making it difficult to find a spot to set place. With siblings and parents having a good time. The sounds of other families conversing and laughing with each other start to become louder as more people start to come. The smell of steak and ribs cooking on the grill fills the air as we wait to eat it. The day starts off great but gets boring as hours pass by. The sound of the youngest sibling whines wanting to go home. 

As the sun goes down, playing with the family by the shore. The water begins to decrease in temperature, and the kids are shivering from the cold water. Parents calling their children to settle down and sit along with their close relatives. Patiently waiting for the clock to strike twelve with people counting down the amount of time left. When the clock strikes twelve everyone yells "Happy New Year!" to each other as they're hugging people around them. Fireworks shooting up to the sky exploding with a big BOOM with a colorful pop. Few more fireworks continue to explode in the air as everyone enjoys each other.

      I first got introduced to basketball when i was watching t.v with my dad and brother. We saw a dominate basketball player playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers wearing number 23, as I was justing watching him dunk and carrying his team to a win. Then I ask my dad who was that good player and he replied yelling "LeBron James" and i said i want to be like him and he said "be yourself not like someone else".

     As i was getting older my dad used to take me to the basketball court every weekend to help me improve my skills and i would feel like the basketball court is my home cause i would always go there to be myself and work on my basketball skills. The basketball court i can always be myself because everyone is different.

It is a special place because i can be myself and no one can judge me.

It is a special place because when i see that i am at Oracle Arena it means that i want to train hard and be great so I can be in the NBA. Also it is a special place to me because i grew up playing basketball and i love the game. Believe That!.

CNN News Chunky Paragraph

Weight Cutting

When your talents for hand-to-hand combat put food on the table and shelter overhead, the sight of your own blood usually isn’t enough to make a memory. Jim Miller remembers this particular sighting, though, because he hadn’t fought in months. In combat sports like MMA , wrestling and boxing, weight cutting is as common as heavy bags and ankle tape. The practice entails losing large amounts of weight, mostly through deliberately and aggressively dehydrating oneself, over the course of about a week. Because weight cutting shares a risk-impact chart with brain injuries and performance-enhancing drugs, it usually assumes a backseat in the safety discourse. But weight cutting is every bit as dangerous as the better-documented risks that combat sports present.

Direct Quote: "Jim Miller remember this particular sighting, though, because he hadn't fought in months" (Sentence 2)

Summary: People who are doing combat sport are having trouble with weight cutting. Weight cutting shares a risk with brain injuries and intensify  drugs.(Sentence 5)

Paraphrase: Combat sport like MMA are cutting down weight like ankle tape. Practice are losing large amount of weight because it is dehydrating. (Sentence 3 & 4)

Word From the Heart Final Draft

            "Omps" yells my dad as he needs help with something or want something. Thats my special name that my dad gave me. But not every person in my family get called by their special name by their parents. But mostly when my dad needs my help he would call me "Omps" because we both have the same first name. 

              

                  The word Omps is a word that my dad came up after my aunty was watching a Korean drama show. It all start when I was 1 years old my family and I went to my grandma house for a cookout. My Aunty and I was watching a Korean drama show when my dad walk in. Then my Aunty saw a little boy name Ompyon show she yelled to my dad with laughter "Aye Ray that little boy looks like Rocky". so my dad called me Omps because it was short for the little boy Ompyon. My dad always give everyone in the family nickname because that how he likes to call people by their name.

               When I was little i never knew what "Omps" was or where it came from since i was little. So i thought that was my name because he would always call me that name but everyone else in the family cause me "Rocky". I really didn't care the word "Omps" to me because i was so little but now since I'm older the word "Omps" means a lot to me.  Sometimes when i was little he would spell the word like O -M -P - S then say "Omps" and i would feel so embarrassed  but since I'm older i don't feel embarrassed because it a special nickname from my dad because my dad means a lot to me.

                The words "Omps" is important to me because my dad gave it to me and i love my dad so much with the things we do and all the things he does for me. It is also extreme important to me because everyone else in the family has a nickname that is close to their name but mines is something that my dad came up. As my dad and I do more things we like i love that he gave me the word "Omps" because it is very important to him and to me.

         To this day and more days later on i will never forget the word "Omps" because it will stay in my heart util I die because it was a word that me and my dad shared together. Even though he barely called me "Omps" now i think when ever he calls me "Rocky" i will always think he call me "Omps".
