Last Shot

My dad is the owner of a soccer team. They are called Arabe Unido. Since my dads team won the finals here in panama they qualified to something called Concachampions. They have played against many great teams that I always see on TV and all that. I never thought that my dads team, from panama would be so much on the news and sport center etc. Today they will play against one of the best teams in Mexico. They won here in panama and if we lose again sadly we are eliminated. Its our last shot.

Hospital

About 2 days ago my mom told me that my grandfather was in the hospital. He has diabetes so his blood pressure goes down or up a lot. I thought that this time wasn't so bad, but unfortunately it is. He has been there for about 3 days. During the last year he has gone many times. Sometimes the doctor tells him to stop drinking, but he doesn't. He just doesn't take much care in himself. he goes to this place called El club español where he eats and talks with his Friends. I tell him to not go there so much but he doesn't pay attention. Well, what can I do. He is like that.

Push ups

Today after practice I had to go to the Dragons practice to go with Sean. After they finished Ricky and Sheren came to where I was. I told him that I could hit him so hard that I would knock his helmet off. So we kind of got in a fight. He threw a stick at me so I chased him and threw it. What I didn't know was that coach Dexter was walking in back of us also. So he got mad and he started to tell us of how we could get injured and blah blah blah. I didn't pay much attention because he is not my coach so...

The only two words I heard were: Both of you, down. 10 push-ups. Later Ricky and I kept on fighting in the car but who cares.

Soccer

Today we went to watch a soccer game instead of P.E. Its of this tournament called AASCA or something like that. Many schools come to play and they are not all from panama. As we got there the team was coming out. When I saw the other team I thought: We can win this game, but I couldn't underestimate them. There were girls painting stripes, people with posters, people cheering etc. I could hear the 10th graders screaming and yelling and stumping. They were pumped up for the game even though they wouldn't play. All the benches were taken so I had to seat in the sun with Alejandro, Brian, Juan Diego and Aaron came later. The game was tight, both teams had the ball a lot but they got closer to the goal faster than us.

When we were leaving the girls were getting ready to play. I wanted to stay because It was a great game, there was still a long time to play and also that we would miss class. Sadly I couldnt.

Field day

Today we had field day. Mrs. Sosa told us that we couldn't wet other people or our team would get points off. Last year the teachers didn't say anything so we all got wet and muddy. As I entered Mrs. Frederick's room with calvo, Jaime and other kids with our shirts like terrorist she said: The same ones as always. She also repeated what they had said of the water.

some minutes later we went down to leave our things and then leave. Our first activity was capture the flag. Sadly we tied in that with Mrs. Trius`s team. It was kind of funny because Gabriel (Mrs. Trius son) is in my tribe and it was mother against son and they started telling things to each other. When the field day was ending Jorge calvo threw water to Jaime inside his pants, but he was stupid enough to do it in front of rs: Sosa so he got himself in trouble.

Math class

Today in math we had to make a triangle with the little blocks mr borras gave us. I tried and tried to concentrate but I just couldnt. somebody was saying stupid things and with a squeeky voice. I waited and waited until the point that I couldnt take it. At the beggining I told him to shut up. He kept on yelling untill I got mad and yelled shut up!!!!! Mrs. Borras had to come and tell me to calm down, but if he had kept on doing that I would probably hit him.

Shot

On Saturday I went to a soccer game with my dad and my cosine. We know this guy who goes to every game. He lives in colon, in arcoiris (its like el chorillo.) He once told me that whe was accidentaly shot, he even showed me the scar. Before the game he told me that he was shot again. Then I asked him what happend. Was he in a shooting? Was he in a gang?

''Nada de eso.'' He told me. ''Estaba saliendo de la casa y bla! me callo la bala justo en la pierna.'' I couldnt believe that. From all the people there the bullet fell on him. I asked him if he called the police or what. He just told me that he fell there in pain and shock. Them he told me that he has four children. He also told me that he wanted to get out from there because it wasnt safe and he didnt want that to happen to his kids.
