The English teacher said,
Go home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you---
Then, it will be true.
It can’t be that easy
I am 14 born and raised in Boca Raton.
I went to school in Delray Beach in Gulf Stream School, and now I go to North Broward Prep.
I am the only surfer in the class.
The long lines of traffic on I-95 lead to Boca Raton.
In my sisters car I pass the streets
going faster and faster I read street signs in my head, first street, second, third, fourth,
And then we make a left and we are home: and I write this paper.
It's not easy to know  your expectations for me.
I wonder what you want me to do with this paper? I enjoy surfing and playing lacrosse I often play with my puppy Olivia, a golden retriever.
I am a normal kid, I go to school, I sleep at night.
The color of my page is blue like the ocean I surf in.
I am a part in my society because I affect it in my own way,
Like helping out with beach cleanups.
I have a good relationship with not one but all of my teachers,
Paying attention in class, and doing my part as a student.
This is my  theme for English B.
