I used to play hide and seek with my brother when I was six years old. My brother always what’s to hide but it is hard to find my Brother
He sometimes hides near my dog I find him there always because my dog barks
At my brother.
When I can’t find my brother I let my dog out
To go find him I follow my dog
My dog chasing my brother.
My dogs name is tommy
He is a husky.
In the Philippines, when I was about 4-5 years old my family went to the park
(With me, sister and some friends).
We went with a car (red car).
When we all got there, I was playing with my two toys
(I don’t know what they were).
A few minutes later I got bored so I went back in the car,
But my Mom (and family) didn’t know.
Then my Mom realised that I was gone so she was looking
For me, but she didn’t find me.
She was really worried at first, then she stop.
When she looked in the car, she found me playing with my toys.
That’s my family story.
My mom and dad said when I was your age we walked 2 hours a day just to get to school our school started at 12 to 6 pm and we had to walk back alone in the forest when it was dark out. My mom was really scared by herself because her sister used to go to school with her but she got too scared to walk with my mom alone in the forest so she quit school and this is why my mom is scared because her sister isn’t here. Then once during school my mom met my dad so they walked home together and told jokes to each other so they started to walk together my dad wanted her to feel safe. My mom became happier because of my dad so she started getting straight A’s. After a couple of years of my mom getting straight A’s she became the smartest girl in the school. But things got bad my dad moved away my mom was so sad that she would never see my dad again. But 2 years later my mom’s friend was getting married when she got to the party she saw my dad so my dad asked for her address the next day my dad’s dad went to my mom’s door and knocked the my mom’s dad said what do you need so my dad’s dad said my son wants to marry your daughter and my mom’s dad said ok so they got married!
My friends and I like to play this game called heaven. I made this game. So there would be a heaven guard, and the guard would stand behind the gate. The gate is 2 trees that are close to each other. We use the trees in Amy’s garden. We choose a guard for heaven, and the guard gets to choose who is an angel and who is a devil. The guard will ask you these questions to decide if you are angel or not:
Once you answer these questions, the guard can decide. Usually, if you lie or be mean, you are a devil. When I play the game, I sometimes say that so and so killed me. If I say that, the person I said would be sent to hell, and turned to a devil. If the guard decides to let you be an angel, you get a special set of wings, and a healing potion. The healing potion is used to save someone once they have been captured and turned to a devil. If you are an angel you have to stand beside the guard and wait for him/her to finish.
Once the guard has finished, the angels get a 10 second head start to run. After the 10 seconds the devils are allowed to go catch you. At this point it is something like tag. If a devil tags you, you become one of them. When we play, it usually depends on how much people there are to determine how much devils there are. If the devil catches you, your friend that is not tagged can use their healing potion to heal you. But, the healing potion can only be used once. So sometimes, your “friend” might choose to not save you. But if you actually have a good friend and they save you, you do not get your healing potion back.
Usually the game never ends, so to end the game we just run to the front door beside portable 1. If you reach the door and you’re safe, then consider yourself the winner! (Although you may have ten more winners with you). My friends and I really like this game, we play it a lot! But it is more fun to play with more people.
A story that sometimes my mom told me is when we got lost near the lake one
One time. So my mom told me that we were going out for fishing. We
Arrived to the place we were going and went down the water. So my
Dad start fishing but me my sister and my mom was just sitting and
Watching my dad fish. After a few minutes my dad said that there were
No fish in the lake. So we took off our shoes and pulled our pants so it
Want get wet. We walked across the water. After we crossed the water
We so a path that was soaking wet. We were walking to the path up to
The lake. We got up to the lake and my Dad started fishing. Few
Minutes later it got colder we said to our dad lets go home because it
Got colder my dad said no later. Few minutes later my dad said lets go
Home now so we went to the place that we started walking. The wind
Got stronger and the grass got wavy and we got lost of our track
Because the grass stared to cover our way. It started to get dark. As we
We’re walking it got dark we saw a light and we followed it good thing
We followed it because it was near the lake and it was the exit. So we
Went up hill and found our car and went back home. That is the a
Family story how we almost got lost
My family story is about how my mom and dad met…
In kindergarden my mom and dad were classmates my dad was a average boy learned how to ride a bike; on the other hand my mom was a strict girl a nice but strict girl. They met by saying “hi”. In fifth grade my dad’s grade’s started going up; my mom’s grade’s were still straight A’s. After grade five my mom started selling tomatoes and my dad teased her by saying “tomato, tomato” my mom would chase him but he was on his bike so she never caught him. In grade 6 my mom stopped selling vegetables and my dad started teasing her less, my mom knew he had a crush on her but my dad didn’t have the guts to tell her. In high school my mom started studying harder because school was more challenging my dad on the other hand was getting B’s like crazy and he never studied. After high school they split up my mom went to Hongkong, and my dad stayed in the Philippines. In 2004 my mom went to Canada so she a immigrant by that year and stayed in a house in 2005 my mom gave birth and I was born I was was named Josh as you know. In 2011 me, my mom, my cousin, and two other people went to the Philippines, she met my dad again before we left and we missed him on the plane. In 2014 he passed away really sad I don’t want to talk about it. His funeral was in the Philippines I couldn’t go because we had no money so I was devastated until today I can’t see his face unless there photos still left of him in my mom’s phone or classmate photos.
My name is Annie, I’m 11. I live with my mom, in a apartment that’s safe and cozy on the second floor. My family likes to go skating, hiking, swimming, always fun and cheerful. My family likes to eat spaghetti, sushi , and pizza with a calm and delicious taste.my family goes to the park and the mall, where there is lots of fresh air and packs of people. It’s okay for my family to believe in be happy and to be always smiling.
I have the most caring auntie in the world, the kindest mom, and a uncle appreciating me for me. Even though me and my cousins fight a lot, I know that we are still a family. Lots of people and places are a part of my community. I play with my friends and my family. My family makes me smile, I am thankful for having them around. My family makes me fell safe.
My name is Sarah, I have my mom, dad, my sister, and my grandma in my family.
I live in an apartment on Mayberry street. Beside my apartment there is a park. The park is big but the playground is small. In my apartment there are 3 rooms, 1 laundry room, 1 washroom, and a huge yard. I share a room with my sister, I like it because sometimes I get scared at night but I know she’s underneath me so it makes me less scared, but I don’t like it because she throws her stuff everywhere. My family likes to eat out together and bike in the park together. There’s also something that we do together in the summer a lot. We go fishing. We have 3 rods, and we usually fish for small fish but sometimes we go for salmon. The only person that doesn’t fish in our family is my sister, I think she’s too young. Last last year, my dad caught 2 big salmon, we had them for dinner that night, they were delicious! For vacation we haven’t gone anywhere but Canada and china, but those 2 countries are very big! I love travelling but I get car sick and that’s not fun.
Here is what I do out of school. Every Sunday I go to church with my mom and my sister. At our church there are different, smaller groups. We name the groups by numbers. The group my family is in is group #1. The people in the groups are much closer and know each other better because we meet with each other every Saturday. Sometimes on Wednesday there are Christian classes for the adults, kids aren’t allowed to go L. When we go to church on Sunday its different from other churches. In most churches you go in the morning and it ends a little earlier before lunch. In our church you go at 2:30 and leave at 4:30 or 7:00. The reason there are 2 times to leave is because at 4:00 there are treats (cake, sandwiches, juice, fruit, etc.) and after you eat the 2nd session starts. Some people leave at 4:30. But if you stay until 7:00 there is dinner! It is free but it relies on the donations that people give.
Going to church isn’t the only thing I do. I also have violin, drawing, and swimming class. My violin class is on Tuesday and it is for 45 minutes. My drawing class is on Sunday and it starts at 12:30 and ends at 2:00. Right after drawing class we go to church. Both my violin class and drawing class is in the teacher’s house but my swimming class isn’t (obviously). I take swimming lessons in the summer only because it is warmer then and there is also more time because of summer vacation. At home I practice for about 50-60 minutes each day.
That is basically what I do every week, and how my life is like at home!
My name is Rodrigo. I live in Burnaby, McKay Ave, I like to play video games and go outside to hang out with my friends. I have a 6 year old brother that’s very very annoying, he never cleans up his room. But he is still my brother, like my dad says “family we bear, friends we pick.” I have a dad, he is 38 years old, and he likes to talk with me. I also have a mom that likes to show me funny videos of cats and dogs and that likes to show me cool facts every day.
I used to live in Brazil, Belo Horizonte with my grandfather’s aunt, she is called Olivia and she likes to watch Merlin with us every Saturday and Sunday.
I used to go to my grandfather’s place in the summer, his name is Sergio, He likes to tell jokes and eat sausages, and my grandmother likes to tell jokes and too but she also likes to read novels. I like to talk and sing with his parrot and play with his (my grandfather’s) dog.
I love to go to my other grandfather’s farm because he has horses, 4 dogs, chickens and everything that you can imagine inside a farm, his name is Fabio. Sometimes he acts a little crazy (like killing a snake crazy) and sometimes he acts a little bit too serious. He likes to tell me stories about what he did when he was a kid (and trust me, you don’t want to listen to his stories).
Its okay for me that my family is different.
