We went this weekend to a new church because the old one got such a big band that they played more music than preaching. Scott and Kevin have not been paying attention at all once in church; they didn’t like the music somehow. Kevin typically just ducked under the seat and went to sleep most [...]

While mourning the untimely death of Michael Jackson, Mom found a new singer to admire:  Ms. Jennifer Hudson.  So we went to get her records. She surely has a strong and beautiful voice.  I wish I had a voice like that.  Maybe I would just spend time coaching my  voice instead of going to school [...]

It has been two weeks since we attended the new school.  So much homework, so much discipline that Scott is going crazy.  He has stress you would not believe;  he always looks like there ‘s a green ghost  chasing him around the house: no more  energy left to cause any more trouble.  Kevin [...]

This never happened before and it’s happening now. I wrote a piece about my brothers’ fighting over the fishing rod. I fixed the writing about 10 times so that it could be perfect. At the last minute I tried to save it, but pushed the wrong button and erased it completely. So [...]

Bound for life

BOUND FOR LIFE.

“We have no complaint.” Frank Marrujo, who was with twin, Joe, celebrated their 90th birthday together. I’m not sure if I want to live till 90 and being around Scott. He’s so annoying. We got this twin story from the San Jose Mercury News. Mom made us read it, compare their life to [...]

THE ART OF THANK YOU (Crafting note of Gratitude)

We are supposed to read this book so we can write “Thank you “ notes when we receive presents. Mom makes each of us write a sample ”Thank you.” You should see what Scott‘s thank you note looks like. He drafts a Thank you note to our uncle who sends him $20.00( for real) for [...]

Earn our desk

Why should we earn our desk?
by Scott Nguyen.

Dear Teacher,
We should earn our desks because it would be embarrassing when others teachers or students walk in and see that we haven’t yet earned our desks.
The second reason is our legs get so cramp, and we really want to move but we can’t. If we do, we [...]

It’s Monday; we come to school early this morning since you don’t want to be late here. There are a few kids who run in late. They are called to stand in line by themselves and explain why they are late. It looks so embarrassing because everyone staring at you. I would not want to [...]

My New School

Today, we started at the new school: our first day at the Heartwood Academy . It was very emotional and nerve wrecking for Scott and I.
We came early, stood in line watching; everyone looked so serious. The principal was yelling :
”Everyone should be in a straight line. I mean everyone.”

She reminded me of Mom on [...]
