My Buddy

rgilligan25 Buddies, Uncategorized

In all of our years at my elementary school we have Buddies. Now we have Kindergarten buddies. My buddies name is Henry. In our first buddy session when I met Henry, he found America on the globe and kissed it, I knew that we were going to have a good time, and I knew he was very cute. One of the things I like about him is that he is always smiling no matter what. An inspiring thing about Henry is that he doesn’t give up and he works very hard. I know that our friendship will grow over this year. I am excited to see how he changes and grows as a student because he is already a good student.

 

Emigration- Puerto Rico

rgilligan25 Uncategorized, Writing

Here are some of the reasons that people leave Puerto Rico

Most of the people today are leaving Puerto Rico because of the hurricanes that have hit and caused a lot of damage to the land and the people. The hurricanes have injured and killed citizens. Another reason that Puerto Ricans left their country is because they wanted to get a better life, they wanted money, opportunity homes and a better future for their kids.

Future Blogging

rgilligan25 Basketball, Football, Uncategorized

I haven’t include this in any of my other posts but in the near future I will be blogging about sports. More specifically, football and my favorite team, the New York Jets, and my favorite basket ball team, the Golden State Warriors. My favorite player on the Warriors is obviously Stephen Curry because of how well he can shoot threes. My favorite Jets player is the rookie receiver Robby Anderson (at a Jets game I saw him catch a 47 yard TD triple guarded, I’ll make a separate post about that.) I will be blogging about my football team, the Raiders soon and also my basketball team the Sharks.

Excerpt from “Bad Possibilities”

This is an excerpt from a story that I wrote called “Bad Possibilities”

As I walk down the path I notice all the small things, the squirrels and chipmunks sprinting across the grass and up the trees, the leaves start to fall and the branches become bare like they are alone, my dogs favorite squeaky toy, outside, she would never put that toy outside, she loved it way too much. I knew something was wrong. I then stopped walking and I looked up at the wide open door, I threw my water bottle onto the floor and I ran, my cleats hit the ground even harder now making it sound like horses hooves. I didn’t even have to look, I knew she was gone.

Two Trails

Two Trails

Ryan

 

I am from the hospitals. The place where I visit so much. The place where I go home learning what to do and what not to do. The place where nervous faces surround me. I am from the hospitals.

 

I am from the white sand beaches. The many barbeques that we had on those beaches. The seagulls calling out to us as if they had to say something. The seals lying on the rocks together. Friends and family laughing together. I am from the white sand beaches.

 

I am from skiing. Gliding down the mountains, wind pushing against my face. Trees and frozen lakes surround me. I leave two trails behind me. Looking out over the mountains and the valleys as I ski. The skies are filled with snow and clouds. I am from skiing.

 

I am from family dinners. Gathering around the table. Sharing our thoughts and troubles. Talking about anything we want. Knowing we are wanted and welcome. And sometimes we are quiet from eating. A place where not only good news is told, but also bad news. I am from family dinners.

 

When I go back in time and think, I know where I’m from.
