Hi guys, happy Memorial Day. Let me tell you the exact meaning of Memorial day and why we celebrate it.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering and honoring persons who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, was most recently held on May 28, 2018.
Hey guys, how are you doing. We all go to school right? Some people enjoy it, some don’t. Anyways, in our class we’re learning about the gold rush so, I’m going to tell you everything I learned about the gold rush.
So, in the gold rush people wore very different clothes than what wear right now. During the gold rush clothing was very important because the clothing of a miner was based on his or her enthicity. Cn you believe that pants were first made in 1848 by Levi Strauss. Back than, everyone called jeans blue jeans. Miners often wore suspenders for comfort.
Normally the 49ers ate a lot of beans, supplemented by dried pork, boiled potatoes, dried apples, bread or biscuits, and sugar when they eat at restaurants. The drinks at restaurants were mostly water, coffee, tea, and brandy. The demand in California was so popular that a cost of an egg rose from 1 to 3 dollars. That was a lot in the olden days.
There were certain things that a miner needed to find gold like…
The California Gold Rush was the largest mass migration in America. It brought about 300,000 people to to California. It all started in January, 24,1848 when a gut named James W. Marshal found gold on a piece of land in California. The news of finding gold in California spread quickly and the Gold rush started.

Hey guys. If your reading this right now you might of noticed that recently we had spring break. Well, I hope you guys had a good spring break. I had a pretty good spring break. Firs,t I was very excited about spring break because my family and I were going to Miami and later we would go to the Everglades National park for a kayaking trip. On our first day we were in the car going to Miami but it was getting late and we wanted to see the clear water beach so my dad checked in for the night. We went to the clear water beach like we wanted to. Me and my sister started building sandcastles. Later, it was 8 at night so we walked around the city and looked at all the lights. We finally chose a restaurant which was very fancy. We ordered new food items that we never tried but I didn’t like any of them. The only sea food items that I liked there were the spring rolls and the mini crab cake appetizers. Later we just went to our hotel, which was called Hotel Express. When we went in, the 1st floor was very fancy with chandeliers everywhere. We saw a place where there was a kitchen. Me and my sister thought it was the place that we eat breakfast at.
Today morning we got a fresh breakfast and headed our way to Miami. The breakfast at Hotel express was amazing. The light and fluffy pancakes were delicious. I also got a cinamon bon bon, which was extremely delicious and creamy. After we were done eating we started driving to Miami. It took us 4 hours to get there. The car ride was pretty boring. Finally, we checked in to this fancy hotel called Royal Palm. We saw the building and it was gigantic. First, when we arrived there this man put all of our luggage onto the luggage carrier. Inside it was really cool with many restaurants and lounges. After that, we went to our room. It was small but pretty. The mini desk lights were beside both of our beds and there were many paintings. We didn’t have a beach view but we had a city view. After we unpacked we went to the beach. The beach was called The South West beach, which was very famous. We went in the water with our new swimming suits and played in the sand. Later, we got hungry and searched for a good restaurant. We went to this Italian restaurant that was very delicious. I got a Pink Alfredo pasta, which was delicious! For dessert, I got a Key Lime Pie. I didn’t really like the Key Lime pie, but my mom did. Later we just went back to the hotel when we realized that our room was right next to the spa. We went to check it out but kids were not allowed. We watched some T.V and went to sleep.
On our second day in Miami we woke up and went to breakfast. I got a yummy panini. I wish I got pancakes though. Later, we went to the gigantic pool. The pool was cold at first but then we got used to it. Later, I was happy that it was cold because it started getting really hot. We splashed and swam. Personally, I liked doing flips and stuff more than swimming. My sister and my mom started getting hungry so we went to lunch. We went to this Mexican restaurant that didn’t really have stuff that I liked, but the Fajitas were amazing! I liked the grilled chicken more than vegetables. I personally think vegetables are disgusting. After that, we got tickets for paragliding. My dad didn’t want to go because he thought it was a waste of money. Me, my mom, and my sister were going together. I was excited and nervous. I have this weird habit of getting stomach pains when I’m nervous or scared. My mom was the one that suggested that we should go paragliding. She was the most excited. We got on a boat with 6 other people. We waited for a few other people to get on the boat. Finally, everyone was on, and the boat started moving. After a few minutes the music started playing. I took a few selfies of myself and the buildings behind me. Each person kept flying into the air and coming back. Finally, it was our turn. My mom, sister, and I put the equipment on and clipped ourselves to the parachute. Boom! Quickly the parachute started lifting into the air. I was so excited! I looked down and hoped that I wouldn’t fall down. Later, it was just boring. All we did was look at the buildings and the ocean from the sky. When we were almost done with the ride the parachute went down and we started touching the water. Our legs went right to left and left to right. Our clothes got soaked but it was the most fun part of the ride. After that, we just took a lot of pictures and went back to the hotel. We started searching for a restaurant for dinner. We went to this restaurant that was sweet, tasty, and amazing. We found this place called Sugar Factory. When I looked at the menu I was stunned by all the sweet and yummy items that I could gobble up. There were milkshake towers, ice cream sandwiches, Goblets of drinks, etc. I couldn’t choose but after a lot of consideration, I decided to get the milkshake tower that was called the Dye shake. The milkshake was vanilla flavored with vanilla syrup and straws that had cotton candy pieces pierced into the milkshake. The milkshake also had candy necklaces on the top with a mug that was made out of chocolate with crushed graham crackers sticking to the chocolate. There were different colored syrups dripping from the sides. It was like heaven in a cup. Not only that but, the food was also great. We got a food platter with macaroni cheese balls, chicken wings, and mozzarella sticks. My favorite was the macaroni cheese balls. I thought that the sauce that went with the cheese balls were great. After all of that food, I felt sleepy. I was in desperate need of sleep. Finally, we got to the hotel and slept.
On our third day in Miami we woke up and ate at the breakfast buffet at the lounge downstairs. It was very fancy! Each group of people had their own large booth. I ate pancakes and cereal with some yummy apple juice. We went shopping at the famous Lincon Street. First, I went to this fruit booth and started off with some fresh fruit. Our first shop that we shopped at was Zara. It was pretty big and fancy at Zara. We bought a lot of clothes there. After that, we went to some other shops and ended at this dessert place, which was really cool! It had marshmallow treats, different types of apples, pralines, etc. I got a caramel apple. We just ate our treats in the car because we needed to go to the Everglades National park. It was a long boring ride but, we finally got there. My dad took a room at this motel called the Everglades City Motel. For dinner, there was only 1 restaurant in town so we went to that restaurant. We went to the restaurant and saw the menu. There were a lot of sea items that I didn’t like. I just ordered some mac ‘n’ cheese balls. After that, we got dessert. There were only a few ice cream flavors but, I liked all of them. I got the pralines and cream flavor. Finally, we went to the park rangers and my dad asked them some questions about when we should kayak because the day after we’re supposed to go kayaking and camp at the wooden platform called Chickee.
When we woke up we just quickly went to breakfast, which was complimentary. We headed straight to the kayak place and got our kayak. We were trying to be quick because if we’re late, the tide’s going to go in the opposite direction, which will make it harder to kayak. We got our 2 kayaks and went to this place that was a good place to start kayaking. We went there and packed all of our stuff for the camping trip in the kayaks. It was hard to fit everything in. After we put everything in we started to go kayaking. There were 2 kayaks that could fit 2 people in each. My dad and I went on one kayak while my mom and my sister went on another . My parents started kayaking first because the first mile is in open waters. Later on, me and my sister started kayaking. It was hard because the wind kept pushing us in the opposite direction. On the fifth mile, I and my sister wrote in our junior ranger booklets. We saw these branches and trees blocking our view of what’s behind it. So we took a turn. We were so relieved. It was the Chicken campsite. We paddled and helped each other get on the dock. My parents tied the roped to hold the kayak in place. We stepped on the platform and started eating snacks. me and my sister worked on the junior ranger booklet and watched the lake for some fishes. I saw these fishes that had pointy noses. I thought it might be a Swordfish but later I realized that they were actually Needlefish. We were starting to get hungry so my mom said let’s eat dinner. Then my dad realized that the gas tank didn’t fit the stove, so we had to eat bread and Nutella instead. I finished all the snacks in one night. We were supposed to camp for 2 nights and 3 days but, since we didn’t bring the right gas tank we only stayed 1 night.
We woke up early and got ready. We ate bread with Nutella. We just kayaked back. We had to kayak 3 more miles because last time we kayaked 7 miles from the spot that we drove, but now we have to go all the way back where we left our car. We were halfway there when my mom told me to look at my right and she pointed to some animals. I was so excited! There were 2 dolphins swimming in front of us. We were going to take pictures but by the time my mom got her phone out the dolphins swam out of our site. It was really hard to push because the weather that day was harsh. If we even took a break for one moment the kayak would end up going the other way and we would have to push miles to get back on track. It was hard so we stopped at the spot that we started our kayaking trip at the day before. After a few minutes, we continued kayaking when I told my mom to stop the kayak. She stopped the kayak when I saw these fishes jumping up and down. We took pictures and continued to kayak when we saw this bridge. The park ranger told us that when we saw the bridge we had to cross it and take a right but when we looked at the bridge there were open waters. We started getting shocked and worried so we asked the fisherman below the bridge which way to go to reach Everglades national park. Just like the park ranger, the fisherman told us to cross the bridge and take a right. We were thanking the fisherman for telling us the direction when I saw a shark swimming at high speeds. I was so nervous. I was praying that we wouldn’t get eaten by the shark. My dad told me not to worry and that as long as we don’t fall off the boat and into the water the sharks can’t eat us. I was scared enough that we didn’t know the exact direction but know there were sharks in the water. When we crossed the bridge and took a right we saw our destination which was the Everglades National Park recreation center. We unloaded the kayak and into the car. We didn’t exactly know where we were going to go because we were actually supposed to stay there for another day but since we didn’t bring the right size stove for our gas tank we had to come a day early. It was 11 a.m and my dad and mom decided that we should stay the night at Saint Peters Burg which was about 4 hours away from where we were. We stayed at a cheap but great hotel. First, we went to the giant swimming pool and had some fun! Later, at night we just ordered room service for dinner. I and my sister shared the fajitas with roasted veggies. Our parents didn’t want room service so we went to the restaurant at the hotel. Lastly, we watched this t.v show which I really liked and was called Last Man Standing and slept.
Today all we did was drive back to home. When we were almost there my uncle called and said that his family was coming back from vacation too. He told us that we should come over to his house since his house was closer to where we were than our house. We went to their house 2 hours late because we went to Starbucks and got frappes. I got a caramel frappe. It was delicious! When we arrived at my uncle’s house I thought my cousins were going to be asleep but surprisingly they weren’t so we played until midnight and went to sleep.
In the morning my uncle took me and my sister back home. I was kinda sad that spring break was over.

I’m an Indian so I celebrate Indian functions. like Diwali, Dasara, or even a Half saree function.
A half saree function is celebrated when you’re 10 or 11. It’s kinda like a sweet 16 but when your 10 or 11.
We went for an India trip for three weeks to celebrate because we also have a wedding, my cousins half saree function, and games day.
First, we went to the airport and our first flight was at 10:00 pm and was from America to turkey. We had 5 hours time in the middle until the next flight, so my dad booked in an airport hotel room and it was like a luxury. They had snacks, cool drinks, and a gigantic bathroom. We were going to go to the spa that was there for a foot massage but we wanted to sleep really bad so we slept.
Then we went to the next flight which was a turkey to Mumbai which is in India. The turkey flight gave books with no pencils or crayons, common sense. The turkey food was so disgusting. We landed in Mumbai, the airport was so cool. It had pictures, cultures, and structure which looks real, like the photo above.
We started the flight from Mumbai to Hyderabad, which is our destination. The flight was only 1 hour and we didn’t have any tv.
We went to our cousin’s house to stay for 3 days. It was quite busy because we were shopping For our half saree dresses and we were very sleepy because of jet lag. We also had to try on all the dresses to see if all the dresses we ordered looked good. For me all of the dresses didn’t fit me, so they had to stitch it tighter again. We did that every single day and came back at night. On the day we were leaving we went to a place called Palamuru grill, which was very sad because ever since I heard that we were going on our India trip I wanted to go to the legendary barbecue nation because it is my favorite barbecue/grill.
After our lunch, we went to my grandmother’s house which is called Penamantra. It was really boring because there was no internet connection there. The next day my dance teacher came and we had to learn 4 dances for our Sangeetham and Mehendi in a week. We got 3 hours each day to practice. Each evening we went to Bhimavaram, which is the place where we used to live when we lived in India. Our cousin lives in Bhimavaram.
When we were in Penamantra me and my sister actually can do our half saree function together, and we did, but we have to have one of our own function to meet and greet everyone we’re close to. I had mine. I had to pray to god for ten minutes. I wore a pink that is topped with gold roses blouse, and a half saree that is pink and topped with Gold jewels.
The next day my mom’s cousin Sujay, had his upanayanam, which is another function that all boys do before they get married. It was kinda boring until my cousins came along. They had a giant balcony which had a big bench that was like a swing.
The day after that we had our Sangeeth and Mehendi, which was when we danced with professional dancers and our cousins. They had our parents dancing too. There were different types of games for old and middle-aged people. It was so cool we had a big yellow and white lighting on top and a snacks place on the sides, which included milkshakes, dosas, and pani poorees, which is a portion of Indian food. We did some dances together with the professional dancers too. I wore a pink dress that goes from pink to blue and for the blouse, it is baby pink with layers of stitching on top.
Before that, was a function called the Mangal snanam. First of all, I wore a doti pant, which was yellow with small red roses on top. First, we had all the old people pour water on our heads while we’re sitting in a big fake flower. Then all the middle-aged people poured water on our heads. After that, everyone poured water on our heads. 30 minutes after that, everyone one by one put turmeric on a leaf and rubbed it on our cheeks. We had our own cameraman so when all of this including the other functions happened the cameraman took pictures of what happened. before that, they took pictures of when everyone was throwing flowers in our direction. The pictures were so cool! The flowers were in the air in the pictures. At last, we bathed because we were wet in our clothes.
The day after that was a function called the main function, where everyone came to bless me for being a young woman. It was really painful because my earings were connected to my hair and the earrings were really heavy because it was real gold with diamonds. I wore fake hair to make my hair long because I need to put flowers and jewels in my hair. I went to My main function, which was decorated with many different types of flowers and the flowers were arranged in semi-circles. While we’re getting ready with our own makeup artist. She actually didn’t, do that well. She put orange lipstick on our faces. First, all the pictures and videos that the cameraman took was shown on big green screens. Later on, I went on the stage and sat down on our royal chair and the bhramahas, who were people that blessed us instead of god sang songs that were related to god. I said the words that they told me to and put leaves with turmeric on the top of my head. After that everyone just gave presents and took pictures with us. I wore a blouse, which was green with a saree that was gold. I also wore a female mooskoo, which is a thing that you clip to your hair and it kinda looks like what you wear at an Indian wedding. I just changed my clothes in normal clothes. My ears were bleeding when i took my earrings out and my Fake hair was really heavy.
The day after that was the big wedding, which was the reason why we planned to do my half saree function now. The wedding was for my mom’s cousin Sujay. First, we went to the entrance, which was gigantic, beautiful, and had a snack bar with spring rolls and delicious creamy butter chicken with steamed and grilled vegetables. When we went inside it took quite a while for the bride and groom to come out of their rooms. When they did we went on stage and took a lot of pictures and the rest of the family came too. Later on, they did the special things that they do at an Indian wedding like Putting a curtain between the bride and groom to throwing flowers at each other. We went to eat dinner at the building because I was starving. We had biriyani and other Indian foods. In the end, we gave the bride and groom presents and the kids got to take all the junk food that the bride and groom didn’t want like, sugar birds to flower-shaped chocolates. Before we went, they had ice cream so we ate ice cream at the end of the marriage.
My cousin, who was born on the same day as me had her function too, but it was different. She only had one function for her Half Saree Function, which was at a resort. First, we all took pictures and gave her gifts. Then, we all went to the place where we eat. The food was really good! I thought the ice cream was curd. Lastly, we went to the water park, which was my favorite part of the function. We went on big slides in tubes and danced in the water with the sick beats that they were playing. I thought that our function was a little bit better though.
We were leaving at last. The bad part was we had to play in the pool for really less time because our flight was on the same day as Ishu’s half Saree Function.
Right before the flight, we had a photo shoot with the cameraman. It was pretty boring but the poses and the pictures turned out great.
We went on our flight from Hydrebad to Mumbai, which was boring as usual because since it was a local flight it didn’t have any tv.
Next, we went from Mumbai to Turkey which was fine and the roasted cashews tasted amazing.
Lastly, we went from Turkey to America, which was a fine flight because we got cool toys like a giraffe and a pilot made out of wood. later on, this very annoying girl kept jumping on our chairs and sitting in our lap and kept changing the channels that we were watching. Even when we went to the bathroom she kept following us so we had to push her away. Finally, the flight ended and we went home and slept immediately.
