Halloween Volunteering

Hey everybody! It's debs again with another blog! Today I'm going to be talking about what I did on Sunday. At 11:00 in the morning I went to my friend's house so we could go to this Halloween volunteering event at an elementary school. It was an event where little kids come and play at booths and go in jumpy houses. They had to either have tickets or a stamp to play. My friend and I volunteered so we got 4 hours of community service after. We helped a lot and gave out a lot of candy to the kids while the other people gave one candy to each kid. The kids there were so cute, I wanted to eat them up. After a little bit, we wanted candy for ourselves so we went to a room where all the candy was and took a lot because we deserved some after helping so much. After about 3 hours of watching the booths and helping, we went in the jumpy houses and played there like little kids. There was this adorable kid and she kept climbing up and we played with her and made sure she didn't get hurt because she was 3 years old. We then ate a hotdog, made cookies, and had candy. We were really tired at the end but we had a lot of fun. Well, that's it for today's blog.

Going Out With My Friends

Hi everybody! It's me again with another random blog. Today I'm going to talk about when I went out with my friends last Friday because we got out of school early and we wanted to hang out with each other. We got out of school and we started to walk to Starbucks. My best friend and I went to Whole Foods together to try samples and then we went back to Starbucks so I can eat my chicken salad and she can eat chips and a Caramael Mochioto. After that we all went to Mac. I wanted to look at tweezers but the lady got mad at me and said you need to be with an adult because they thought we were trouble makers. We couldn't blame them because kids go there just to mess around but I wasn't. Anyways that was a bust, so we went to TJ Max and saw their purses. The lady saw me touching the purses and thought as well that I was messing everything up even though I wasn't. She asked me "what are you doing?" and I said "I'm looking at purses for my mom" (which I was). The lady kept looking at me and looked suspicious. We went to look around the store until they called security and kicked us out for no reason. Apparently "we were too loud." Ughh all these store employees under estimate the kids from school. Any kid that walks in with a backpack and friends, they think they are trouble but were not. After that, I went home, watched Netflix and relaxed. I think that people in life should sometimes laugh, have fun, take a breath, and do things they never done before to have fun. Life isn't all about working and being under pressure, its about having fun and being silly too. Well folks, that's it for today's random blog.

My 2012 Israel Vacation

Hi everybody! It's me again with another random blog. Today I will be talking about the first time that I went to Israel for a vacation. It was in 2012 and my family and I decided to go to Israel and take a tour for 2 weeks. It was my first time going there and I didn't know what to expect. We eat kosher and we're Jewish so it was even better because they had a lot of kosher food. The plane ride was about 18 hours and when we got there it took about a day to get adjusted with the time since it's 10 hours ahead of California. We went on a tour with 15 other Jewish Persian people and we became family friends with them all. The best thing about Israel is that all of their jewelry and clothing are way less expensive than the U.S. We took advantage of that and we bought so many souvenirs like jewelry, clothes, shoes, purses, and a lot more. The thing that my family and I enjoyed the most was all the food. We enjoyed it because we didn't have to worry about the meat being kosher. Israel has a lot more kosher restaurants than Los Angeles. I learned new things and explored a lot because Israel is very different from America. The thing we went there the most for was to celebrate my brothers Bar Mitzvah there. He was 15 years old but ever since he was little my mom wanted to do a little celebration there too. We went to the holy wall and celebrated a little for that event. I'm glad we went because we had a break from the real world, we explored, and met a lot of new people. The only thing that sucked about it was that we had to come back and we would be very jet lagged. It took about a week to get used to our own time and I missed Israel a lot. I knew that if I didn't go back home I would be really home sick and miss my friends.

My Piano Journey

Hi everybody! It's me again with another blog. Today I'm going to be talking about my piano experience. I have been playing piano for 6 years and enjoyed every second of it and I still am enjoying it. Every year my teacher advances me to a more challenging level and right now I'm at a really high level meaning like doing a lot of songs that are not that easy. Every year she has a recital for all of her students and we perform 2-3 of our songs that we did along the year. After everybody finishes performing, we all get a trophy for our hard work for that year. I have 5 trophies now and I'm going to get my 6th one next year. I really love playing the piano anytime because it relaxes me and it's my passion for life. Whatever emotion I feel, piano is the key to my happiness. The first time I started playing piano was when I was 8 years old and I went to go pick up my sister from her piano class. She played when she was younger too and she is still playing to this day. My mom and I went to go pick her up and I decided to try it out and see if I like it. It turned out that I really enjoyed it and I took lessons for a really long time. Ever since I took my first lesson when I was 8 years old, I never took a break or gave up and I'm not planning to do that in the future.
