This is my life graph that I made in Mr. Bergquist's class. I thought that it was a pretty cool project to do. As you can see, my life has had many up's and down's. As you can see, when I was about 1 1/2 I learned to walk, then when I was about 3 I got hit in the head with a brick, which wasn't fun at all. Also, when I was about three, me and my parents went to Hawaii, which was very fun. At about 4, I got my dog, Django, who's a German Sheppard. When I was about 4 1/2 I was attacked by two dogs that my neighbor far out in the woods owned. I don't know why, but for some reason they liked to let them loose, and those dogs had no training what-so-ever. My parents got real mad at the neighbors, but didn't say anything. When I was about six, I started playing golf, which was very fun. Now, on a good swing, I can drive the ball over 220 yards! I really enjoy golf. It's probably my second favorite sport after baseball. When I was 7 1/2 I got my finger slammed in a door. When I was 9, money was stolen from me. When I was 11, I accidentally kicked a wasp nest. When I was about 12 1/2 my select baseball team lost the championship game, which was heart-braking. Then, as you can see, I turned 13! You can zoom in on my life graph if you want to inspect in more closely.

About four years ago, I was playing my second year of minors Little League. It was our second-to-last game, and I still had never hit a home run. I really wanted to do it, because I knew that it would make my parents proud, and would also be very exciting. We were playing a Coupville team, which was very good at the time. We didn't have a very good team, and had a winning percentage of only about .400. Being this close to the last game of the season, we really wanted to show Coupville that we were not as bad as our record stated. Our coach had us arrive one hour early, so that we could do all of our warm-ups and stuff. The Coupville team arrived thirty minutes later. I looked over and saw all of their ginormous players. They had a few players that were like '5"10, and this was in minors! What the heck were they feeding those people? Anyway, the game started. They were blowing us away, like blowing dust off of a table. Our coach gave us a very inspiring talk at the start of the fourth inning. We were down 9-1 when the fourth started. But coach's talk seemed to do the trick. Our bats lit up, and, before us, or the audience knew what was happening, we had a tie game. We were the away team, and it was the top of the sixth inning, so we had to score a run, and then hold them. Our first two batters got out, and I was scheduled to be up third that inning. I had the butterflies so badly when I stepped up to the plate, my knees were shaking. They had put in one of their best pitchers to shut us down. But, on the first pitch, I crushed a homerun over the center field fence. So we took the lead, and the crowd cheered. The bottom of that inning, we held them to no runs, and won the game.

It was my first time going to Yosemite, and I was very excited. Me and my dad got up at about 6 a.m. We would catch the 7:00 ferry to get to the other side. We caught a plane to Sacramento, then rented a car and drove down to Yosemite. We arrived at the National Park at about 5 p.m. We located our lot that we had reserved, and went inside of our tent. It wasn't anything special, because both beds were much smaller than Queen size. The first night went pretty well.
The next day we had a lot in mind. We had a big day planned ahead of us. We would go on a huge hike, all the way up by Half-Dome, the legendary mountain that looks like one-half of it was removed, leaving a clean cut going straight down about 6,000 feet. The hike went very well, and the scenery was beautiful. There was so much wildlife there that it sounded like a chorus of squirrels, all chattering at the same time. The rodents were so tame that you could walk right up to one and practically hand feed them. That night, some of the workers at the park got drunk right outside of our tent. They were so loud that my dad went to the main office to complain about it.
The next day we just walked around. Out in the parking lot, there was about 15 deer, just eating off the apple trees. I got to hand feed them.
I went on a pony ride the next day, and it was really fun. It was at a small little camp that the Park offered. I got a really up-close view of Half Dome.
That trip was a wonderful experience for me, and I would love to go there again someday.

Alright, so I just created my first blog ever! How cool is that?
