From the Life of
Jade

Jades Birth

The day I was born the first thing
that my mom had where cramps at 4
in the morning on July 21. Then my
mom called my dad to come and
take her to St. Mary Medical Center.
My mom had to go back home until
further notice. Later that day her
cramps where getting worse so they
went back to the hospital admitted
her, and a few hours later I was
born.

Event One:Basketball Season

An important life event for me was when I first
started playing basketball in Elementary. The first
time I played basketball I had a rush of sensation,
happiness, and joy. The first ever time I was in a
basketball tournament I was so pumped, happy,
and ready to try my best. At the end we took 1st
place. After that we kept on training for the state
championship and imagining ourselves making it
world wide. On that day we tried our hardest as a
team even though we were short on teammates we
have it all we had but in the end we got 3rd place,
but we weren't sad we held our heads up high
because we new we gave it our all. After that year
our couch left the school and we all got distant and
never played as a team again, but I will always
keep on playing basketball no matter what
happens.

Event 2 : Stephen White Drill Team

The moment I joined the S.M.W. Drill
Team I became more happier, and
bonded with other grade levels. Even
though Drill team can put me in a
short time Iine I still manage to turn
in my work. At first many people
believed it “hurt “ or it’s to “hard’’.
Later on they get use to it and that’s
what I thought at first too. This is
shaping me into a better person and
a person who does things even
though we get a lot of work at
school.

Event 3 : Birthday Gift/Vacation

When I was 9 my brother took me to the
Avi Resort in Nevada for my birthday.
When we were at the resort it was really
hot but it was amazing inside and
outside. The resort had a beach right
next to it, a pool, a movie theater, an
arcade, casino, and etc. During the time
we spent in Nevada we also went, and
visited arizona just to see landmarks
and the area. This shaped me into a
better person because I became more
grateful to my brother/family.
