Game Changers


 The author of this book is Mike Lupica. This book is about a kid named Ben he likes football a lot. He is short he always wanted to be the quarterback. One day he tries out for the football team and makes it but not as a quarterback he is a wide receiver. Some of his friends are on the football team they know how much he wants to be quarterback but Shawn has that position so he deals with it for now. The coach for that team happens to be the father of Shawn. But later on he gets his chance when they are losing so the put him in the game and he does really good. Bens dad gives motivation to not be mad that he is not the starting quarterback. The overall team that Ben is on is pretty good they want to make in the championship. So I recommend this book to anyone who likes sports and realistic fiction.

Election Reflection


    My thoughts on this election in genarall is I am very surprised by the result of this election. I can see that America wants something different instead of the same old thing. A lot of people also are scared of what Donald Trump will do to America. Some other people are excited to see what Donald Trump will do. Some people have hope and will what America to be a great country. A lot of people wanted Hillary Clinton to win since she would've been the first women president in U.S history. I also think that this election wasn't really taken seriously in the media some people thought that this wasn't as seriously as it is. My thoughts on this election is people now have to see what Donald Trump is going to do for America and see if he was the right choice to be the president. The news and media where shocked to see the results the predicted Hillary to beat Donald in this election but as you can see they were wrong.

Tiki Barbers Career


   The book that I read which was a biography it was called Tiki Barber. This book talks about the career of Tiki Barber the first part talked about his college career. In college Tiki was very good and really smart including his brother Ronde Barber which was a also a football player. Tiki Barber had many good games in college many people thought he would be picked early in the draft. When draft day came Tiki Barber was selected later then many expected he was picked by the New York Giants. His first year in the NFL was not outstanding he struggled a little bit. When the years passed by he improved on his running back skills. It took a while for them to reach the playoffs and when they did the Philadelphia Eagles would always beat them. But one time they beat the Eagles and went to the Super Bowl but sadly they lost to the ravens 34-7. The following years that came Tiki had some good games and even good years. Tiki Barber no longer plays in the NFL sometimes he broadcasts games. His brother Ronde Barber also no longer plays in the NFL he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So in conclusion Tiki Barber was overall a great running back.

My Best Day Ever



 My best day that I ever had was when it was birthday when I was turning 10 and me and my family went to safari land. Me and my family went I felt a rush of exciment. I went with my brother mom, dad, and grandma the first thing that I did was play the variety of games. Me and brother also went on rides after the games. After that we played even more games to get slot of tickets for big prices. Once we finished we went to go eat the place that I choose since it was birthday was wings and things. We ate wings and fries. After the day was almost over we picked up a chocolate cake and ate it in my grandma house. This day was very special to me I had alot of fun and that day was memorable.

Oktober Fest Fun and Wonders


The sun was shinning the ferries wheel was spinning the leafs were falling the wind was nice and breezy. People knew the Oktoberfest was here. The variety of activities you can do there are go on rides and play many games. You could also purchase different kinds of foods like Chinese,hot dogs,lemonade and many more. This event only comes once a year so the people of Berwyn enjoy it while it is here. The people of Berwyn attend this event with excitement and eagerness.

The Okoteber fest was on September 16 and 17. This event is good for Berwyn because it draws people to visit our community and what it has to offer. It also gives people the opportunity to enjoy the fest if it's there first time. The lights and music and just the feeling of being there in the event are breath taking and has a great experience. The Oktoberfest is attention grabbing when seen from a distance. The lights seen on the rides and all the noise from the music really grabs you in. Where you can find this event and where it is located is by Windsor Ave and Grove Ave by the Metra train tracks. Many people are excited for it to come back next year to enjoy it again. The Oktoberfest is a really nice and enjoyable way to open up the fall season.
