Autobiography
(11-14)
I then was 11 years-old and I was learning how to play the piano with a lady from my church since the age of eight years old. And it was the three of us my brother Zakir my and my cousin Devin every time that we would complete a lesson we would get freshly baked cookies or a prize. I thought that by having a whole week to practice I would be guaranteed to get every prize or present she gave to me.
And every time that my auntie would ask why I am not playing the piano I would look the other way as if she was not talking to me. And still at this moment I still have the books required to complete each and every course my auntie had then told me that they were just visiting the church for a few years and it was time that they had gone back to live with their family which now we were apart of. She then told the three of us that even when she was gone to keep practicing and playing the piano and which was a way of her thanking us for everything.
She then had decided to invite us to come and live with her which by the way her name was Sister Benson and her husband name was Brother Benson and it had been are summer vacation. As I then was 12 years-old I had went to Utah with the Benson’s and we were introduced and had met all of her family members which they all were in the city of Utah which was Salt Lake City. It had took us 2 hours to get there and another 2 hours to get back and as looking outside of the window I could see that we were very high above the ground it look as though we were out of space.
It had only been my first day there and already I visited many places such as the mountains which was a great view and there had been lizards leaping and crawling every where. And we also visit and played in an indoor water park where their tons of children and where my cousin had almost drowned lucky for me I had seen I life guard and got some help. It had been a week and already it was time to go home. As we were leaving while getting on the airplane she had said that there was something she had wanted to give the three of us.
She top and reached into her purse and gave each of us a crystal rock which you throw it at the ground and crystals come out. I then was looking out of the window as if it was my last glance. I arrived back to Chicago my brother and me got settled and moved back with my mom who was happy to see the both of us. I then had transferred from the school that I had been going to for four years and that school was called Luke O’Toole where mostly all of my friends had attended.
I then had moved to 79th and Cole on the east side where I had went to a school called Adam Clayton Powell I had went their for my six grade year. I was 13 years-old and it was the middle of the school year which had meant that I missed the ISAT test. And as the school year let out it had been a couple of days before I had to go to summer school. I had made many friends and they all were there with me.
As me being a bad kid I disrupted many teachers and students and it was my last strike and right before you new it I was kicked out of summer school. And I had to repeat the six grade, my mom had been very disappointed at me so by my mom being her self she was ready to move. As I packed up all of my belongings I had been worrying where we would moved to. I then saw that when we arrived to are new home that it was on 942 W. Marquette.

“Anthony Benezet”
Anthony Bebezet was born on January 31, 1713 in St. Quentin, France. Anthony’s families were Huguenots. Huguenots were French Protestants who suffered persecution.
When Anthony Benezet was two years old, Anthony received an education that was suitable for a prosperous family. When Anthony Benezet was seventeen years old, he immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, Anthony joined the Quakers. Because his attempt to become a trader failed, Anthony Benezet decided to become a school teacher.
Later Anthony Benezet taught at the Friend’s English School, which is now called the William Penn Charter in Philadelphia. Here Benezet was recognized for being a good teacher. He was also known for his dislike for severe discipline.
In the 1750's Benezet taught slave children after he got off work. He taught these children from his home. In 1754, he left the Friends’ English School to start a school for girls. This school was one of the first public girls’ schools in America. He later started the Negro School in Philadelphia. Benezet taught until he got ill.
What I admired most about Anthony Benezet was his zeal to teach African American Children. I believed that he reached out to black children more than the average person would. He made sure that he educated slave children as well. I commend his act of bravery and I admire his willingness to help children become more knowledgeable.
The thing that I disliked the most about Anthony Benezet was the fact that he opened a school for girls. It always seems that girls always get more benefits than boys. You would think that because Anthony was a man he would help boys. I wish that he would have reached out to help young boys too. His contribution may have made boys more motivated to learn today. I believe that boys require extra support and I believe that boys need positive role models to stand up and assist us in our day to day lives.

The Effect of Soil Type on Earthworm
Population
Earthworms are invertebrates, which mean they don’t have backbones. Their soft bodies can be all sorts of colors: such as brown, pink, and red. Earthworms have a brain, five hearts, and parts inside their bodies, which help them to breathe. The smallest earthworms are about 1 centimeter long and the largest can be 4 meters long. One of the largest earthworms is the Giant Gippsland Earthworm, which is found in one part of Australia.
Earthworm’s hermaphrodite means that each earthworm has male parts that produce sperm and female parts that produce eggs. When two earthworms mate, they lie together, and cover themselves in sticky mucus, and pass sperm into each others body.
Earthworms dig large burrows which let water and air into the soil. It helps stop the erosion and lets the water and air gets down to the roots of plants. The burrows also help plant roots to move easily through the soil and into new spaces.
One important thing that an earthworm does is it plows the soil by tunneling through it. The secret to earthworm travel lies in two things you can’t see by just looking. Their complex system of muscles enables them to not only wiggle like crazy but also to very quickly alternate between being stubby and thick, and long slender, which usually are held inside their bodies. When the worms want to stay in their burrows, they jab their setae into the surrounding dirt, which anchors them in place. Top soil is the upper, outer most layer of soil. Its top is usually 2 to 8 inches. It has the highest concentration of organic matter.
Miracle-Grow is a brand of plant food and soil product. It is commonly used in gardens and household plants and sold by major retailers. The original Miracle- Grow was developed by Horace Hagedorn and Otto Stern in the late 1940’s. Regular soil is packed with all kinds of microbes, which is one of the most important elements that there are to growing healthy plants and vegetables. Dirt contains all kinds of minerals and nutrients. Regular soils are composed of earth minerals combined with decayed or decaying organic material such as leaves, dead plants or critters.

And I had advanced to the 1st grade learning different aspects.
As the years went by slowly I then was 8 years old and for that time since it was my birthday I got to choose where I had wanted to go. I then decided that not being in Gary Indiana for a long time that maybe I should go back so then as my mom called her sister I was packing my clothes.

As I departed form leaving my uncle, grandma, and my auntie I had went back home. I then entered the house not nobody knowing when I would come back. I then saw that no one was home but my mom sitting crying alone.
I then rushed up to her as if a dog was chasing after me and had said mommy what’s wrong she wouldn’t tell me. And a few moments later right before I could hug her a guy walked up to me and said who would I like to live with. And so I had said my auntie which had lived on I 6616S Wallcott and as he took me there he had told her what the issue was and as for me I was confused.

Best Picnic I’ve ever
Been on
I would like to start off my introduction by saying that there are many picnic’s I have been to and there are many places that I have been that seemed like a picnic but since I don’t have much time I would like to start with one picnic.
The time when I went on my best picnic I’ve ever been on was when I was at Washington Park. It was so fun being there at Washington Park I also went to the swimming pool where there’s a water slide. There were so many people there at the pool that I made a couple of friends.
The time when I was there was when I was in between the ages of 11and12. And it was the year of 2005/2006 and my mother had always taken me places like to the zoo and more but this time she had taken us to the park.
The people that were all their was me my 5 brothers my sister my mother and her friend who had a snake and he had brought it with him. And while we were at Washington Park we also went into the swimming pool which was a lot of people their.
In conclusion I show how and why my best picnic was my best picnic and I give three paragraphs showing how.
