My Binge

Everyone has a good Binge and I would say mine is a favorite food. I really love pizza and I love eating it. I eat pizza usually once or twice a week. My favorite topping for my pizza is sausage because I'm a meat guy. Usually when I go to parties we usually get pizza also so that's something I like. We usually buy our pizza from Little Ceasars. But I like pizza from anywhere. 

My Outsiders Comparison

I think one character I can make connections with is Sodapop. Sodapop has a really good heart and he loves everyone close to him. I would say I'm a family guy just like Sodapop is. I have many cousins and they're all really close with me and I love them all. I also love my parents a lot as well as my siblings. I also think Sodapop thinks a lot about other people's feelings and he cares for everyone. I also care for my closed ones so I would be protective of them. Sodapop cares so much about Ponyboy and all of his close greasers.  

Family-Free blog of the week

In my family I am the youngest one. I have three other siblings and one of them is in college while the other two are in high school. II have many cousins as well because my extended family is really big. I have more than 100 cousins and I´m really close with most of them. Some of my cousins don´t live here. They live in India with my dad´s brother and mom. My grandma visits us usually once a year and stays here for about two months. I really like spending time with my cousins and they live really close to me so we hang out a lot.

10 years from now

10 years from now, I will be 23 years old and I will be out of college by then. I know college is going to be hard so I´m hoping to get some sort of scholarship. I want to either get a basketball scholarship if I can get one or an academic scholar.

10 years from now I want to live in Chicago. I´m hoping to get married and get a good job. If i ever get an opportunity I would want to go play basketball professionally. It has been my dream to but if it doesn't work out then I would just want to get become an engineer or something like that. I would want to live close with my family because they raised me and I would want to stay with them.

My Idenity

Hello, my name is Ricky and I'm in 8th grade. I go to Golf Middle School and I live in Morton Grove. My favorite thing to do is play basketball and I started playing since I was 6. It feels really relaxing for me. I play in leagues for basketball and it is really fun.I also really like football and really enjoy watching it. I hope to get really far in my life with basketball because I enjoy it that much.

Memory Lane

When I was 5 or 6 years old, My mom brought me to party city for me to get a costume. I got the costume I wanted and my mom told me that she had a coupon with her also. The coupon would only work if you bought items worth of $20. The costume was $17 so my mom told me to quickly go get something cheap. I went and grabbed a really small stuffed animal that I really liked. We bought it and I was really happy. I named the animal Froggy. That's when in one of my family parties, my older cousins all went to my room and they locked the room and was just talking. My brother was with them as well. One of my cousins were sad about something and my other cousin started making fun of him. That's when he took Froggy and threw him at my other cousin. I never found Froggy after that but I think he made me into a lot happier person.
