Poem

I performed the poem called " trees " by Jocey Keller . I was pretty nervous about the poem because it was a little bit hard to remember it and I was not sure how to pronounce the words and I did not want the whole class to laugh at me . But I was happy that i was not the last or the first one to go . I also was a little bit nervous because of my accent . It is so hard to loose an accent  and yeah I did not loose mine yet so fred is always lauging when I talk , but I got used to it .  It also made me more confidence that I am not the only residential student in our english class . After I finished saying my poem I think that I could have done better but it also could have been worst and my grade was ok , too. So everything ended up pretty good .

Winter Break

I enjoyed my winter break a lot . I spent my whole Break in Florida with my family . The first week I was just with my mom because my sibling and my father weren’t able to get here when the winter break started because they still had school but they arrived in the second week . But they couldn’t arrive that early as they were supposed to because their flight was moved because the tons of snow caused a lot of trouble so they had to flight three days later and it was very sad because one of my brothers wasn’t able to come anymore because he is a very successful  soccer player so he barely has breaks and he had to stay home  . But everybody was very happy when they finally were here . We were staying in a hotel in Boca Raton .  The hotel is very close to the town center which was very useful so we could go shopping anytime we want to .  We went to a lot of malls because we were getting our Christmas presents . We also went to the beach when the  weather was really nice and sunny . The water had a really good temperature and the sun was strong so we could tan really good , but the beach was very crowded that day so it was a little bit hard to find a spot for 5 persons but we were able to find one so we all layed down together . For new years we went down to Miami and ate at a nice italian restaurant . After the dinner we walked to the beach and spent some time there where we met an german guy who was here for school , too . Later there was a nice firework . At the last day of break we went out for one last nice dinner and then my family dropped me off at the dorm and we said good bye . The next day I went to school and they left with the plain .
