Hunter

I love playing basketball and football.  Whenever i go to the gym lifetime fitness with my friends, we always lift weights, play basketball, and go in the pool and hottub.  It is a very fun time because I get to do some of the stuff I love and hang out with my friends.  After I go though, I am usually very tired because I stay there for about three to four hours.  I am so happy that i get to practice basketball so i can get better for next year to hope and make JV.  It is very fun to go.

Last Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 was one of the greatest nights of my life.  It all started when my mom picked me up from school.  I went home really quickly to put away my backpack and then we went on down to the verizon center to watch the washington wizards play the new york knicks.  First, we parked in the garage near the gallery place.  After that we went to California Tortilla to eat dinner.  I got a burrito with chips and queso.  After that we went to the nearby store City Sports.  I got a brand new pair of nike Air Jordans.  I also got a brand new sweatshirt that is very comfortable.  So once we were all done I went in to the stadium.  First when I got there I saw an ex Knicks star, Alan Houstoun.  I went up to him and got him to autograph my ticket stub.  A few minutes later, I saw one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Walt Frazier.  He autographed a piece of paper for me and also I got a picture with him.  When the knicks came out for warm-ups, i got to give a few of them high fives.  The game was very close throughout.  It was very fun and I got on the big screen twice!  Also, during the game my mom caught a t-shirt they threw in the air and gave it to me.  The Knicks scored with two seconds left to gain a lead.  The wizards had one more chance to win the game, but could not pull through.  It was a great night even though they lost.  I went to two more wizards games that week, one with my dad, one with my mom.  On the way home, i slept as long as i could because i was very exausted.

Over winter break i went to orlando, florida with my mom, dad, sister, and I.  It was so fun.  When we first got there we went to the hotel to put away our suitcases.  It was a weird hotel, it was outdoor with many buildings instead of just one big one.  After that we went to some of the outlet malls, where I bought a under armour sweatshirt for just twenty dollars!  Later that night we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and I got a grilled chicken sandwhich and fries.  When we were all done, we went back to the hotel and went to bed.  The next day we went to look at two colleges my sister was interested in, Southern Florida College and full sail university.  Full Sail University is probably one of the coolest colleges i have ever seen.  It is partly indoor and has outdoor settings for filming.  full sail is a specialized college for special majors.  After that we went out to eat .  The next morning we went to sea world.  There, I got to see many cool animals and even Shamu!  The best part though was getting to feed and touch the dolphins.  I even got a picture of me touching them.  On wendsday It was about to be my favorite part of the trip.  I got to go see an Orlando Magic game at Amway Arena in downtown orlando.  I got to see players such as Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Jason williams, vince carter, matt barnes, michael pietrus, andrew bogut, brandon jennings, and many more.  It was the first professional basketball game i have ever been to besides a washington sizards game.  The stadium was a lot smaller and only had one floor instead of three.  It was a very good experience and i even got a Magic t-shirt for ten dollars!  so next was the worst part of the trip.  The next day we went to the airport at five thirty hoping our flight would come.  But, it was delayed and didnt end showing up until eleven thirty.  It sucked, especially because it was new years eve and i was spending it on an airplane.  I didnt end up getting home until about two thirty in the morning.  My trip was very fun and i hope to visit another state or country sometime soon.  I am so happy i got to leave virginia to experience something new!

On saturday i was downstairs with my dog watching the washington wizards vs. the indiana pacers.  It was a very close game that came down to the last seconds.  The game i went to last year was also a very close game.  Caron butler had hit a game winning jumper to secure the game.  So as i was watching, they put the clip up from the final shot last year and i saw my dad and i in the crowd.  I was so excited because i saw myself on national tv.  It was very awesome and i called my dad and told him what i had seen.

When i was younger i fell off my bike.  I fell write on my knees.  They were getting so swollen i could really see my knee grow.  They hurt so bad and were bleeding all over the place.  My mom came out and helped me into my house where i cleaned off my knees and put band aids on them.  I walked with a limp for about 2 days.  It was really painful and a bad experience.  From now on i have been much more careful and try not to fall again off my bike.  All i can remember is my mom saying,” I really saw your knee grow.”

I think my dog Potter is probably one of the worst dogs I have ever met.  He is medium sized and is brown and white with a few spots on his nose.  We adopted him from Pets Mart a few years ago to rescue him from not having a home.  We won him from a coin toss between us in another lady and my mom said, “Tails.”  He is constantly getting in trouble and making my family and I frustrated.

            One reason he is so bad, is that he always is jumping up on the counters trying to eat our food.  He has eaten sandwiches, hamburgers, and many more things.  One time he jumped up and ate my sister’s chocolate birthday cake off the counter while we were not watching him carefully.  Everybody started yelling, “Get down, get down.”  Also Whenever I am in my room it seems I always hear my mom scream, “Potter”, because he is trying to eat food.  He also always whines and complains for us to pet him 24/7.  All we ever do is tell him to “Shut up.”  He also jumps up onto our couches when he is not supposed to, trying to get our attention.  My mom sometimes goes crazy because of his horrible behavior.

            My dog gets very excited when we come home so he growls,”Grrrr.”  He loves my dad so much, that sometimes when he comes home from work, he is so excited that he pees on the floor.  I get very disgusted and tell my parents, “You need to clean that up!” Also, he always licks us and never tries to bite us.  Whenever my dad and I pretend to fight he barks, “Ruff ruff”, and comes in to break it up because he doesn’t want either one of us to get hurt.  I start petting him and telling him, “You’re such a good dog.”

            Potter can lie down, sit, roll over, and give a high five.  Whenever he does I say, “Good boy”, and give him a treat.  He is very lazy though, because he lies around the house all day when we are gone.  Potter is very athletic and can run very fast, and also swim.  He once caught a bird and a rabbit when he was chasing after it.  I asked him, “Why would you do that?” It’s not his fault though, because he has the instinct because he is a hunting dog.

“Swish”, I make another shot as im playing horse with gilbert arenas along with 5 other people.  It was at the opening of the adidas store at tyson’s corner mall in april.  I went there to get his autograph, but later found out that i was going to get to play with him.  It was so exciting because he is one of my favorite players in the nba.  I didn’t win, i came in 3rd place, but i still got to get him to autograph my jersey.  My mom also got good pictures of him.  This was a great time for me, and I really hope i see him again.

A few years ago when I was at the beach in the Outer Banks with my dad and one of his friends from college, we all decided to take surfing lessons from a place called the Pit.  It was a surf shop and restaurant, but they also gave surf lessons.  When we got the boards, the instructor gave us all long boards.  We decided on a good place to surf and finally went to the beach.  The first thing we did was learned how to surf by doing all the steps on the land.  You first have to paddle until you can catch the wave, and then bring your knees on to the board, and finally you can stand up and try to keep your balance while riding a wave.  So after we had practiced doing that on land for a while, we actually went into the ocean.  Surfing is a lot harder than you think it would be.  It took countless tries to get it, but I finally got to ride a couple of waves.  We got to keep the boards for the rest of the day and the whole day tomorrow.  Then at night, we finally had to return them to the Pit.

The next year when my family and I went to the beach, my dad and I rented surf boards again.  The waves were not that good so we couldn’t really surf, but I tried anyway.  One day when I went out into the ocean to surf, I saw a fin.  I thought it was a shark so I swam as fast as I could back to the shore.  It turned out that it was just a dolphin.  My mom and dad were cracking up at me for thinking it was a shark.  Learning to surf was a very great experience.

As I strapped up the buckle to the seat, I knew that there was no turning back. The cart slowly moved up the track while my body rose with anticipation, waiting for the first drop to happen. I have been very afraid of roller coasters for my whole life and hoping to end that today, while I was at Kings Dominion with three of my friends.
I was on one of the scariest rides at Kings Dominion, the Dominator. It had loops, steep drops, and sharp turns. Not to mention, it was one of the fastest roller coasters there. The guy next to me was a worker for the ride, making the ride look easy, holding his hands up high in the air, not screaming one word. Then I finally got to the highest point, getting ready for the first drop.
As the rollercoaster dropped, everything started to slow down. I did not realize it, but I was screaming as loud as I could. When I finally got to the bottom I was getting ready for a loop. Slowly, I rose in the air eventually upside down. I could feel the blood rush right to my head as if there was nothing else in the world. Suddenly, I woke up and realized that this was not scary at all, it was quite fun.
The rest of the day I could ride all of the different rides and roller coasters that my friends were riding. Riding the Dominator first was a good idea though, because it made all of the rides seem so easy. If this day did not happen, I would have never liked roller coasters at all, but now love them so very much.
