My 2023 4th of July

 Recently, the Fourth of July has passed! It was a great time to celebrate America's birthday, spend some time with my family, eat good food, and of course, watch the amazing firework shows. This year, unlike the past few, our family did not "share" our 4th with anyone else. The past few years, we have done fireworks and dinner and everything with one of my friends, either Chloe or Ivy. This year however, we just decided celebrating alone would be best.

This Fourth of July, it was the day that my mom, sister, and I came back from a short trip to Las Vegas. After eating some breakfast, we started the long car ride home. Along the way, we stopped by Barstow to have lunch (Panda Express) and looked around the the shops and stores. My sister and I also got ice cream, before continuing the rest of the drive home.

I did a interesting research about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan was born 1980 in Torrance, California. Her ethic is Chinese and her parents were from Hong Kong. Michelle Kwan started skating at the age of 5 and went to Ice Castle Training Center in Lake Arrowhead in California. She was 18 years old when she went to the Olympics games. Michelle Kwan liked to skate a lot. I think Michelle Kwan has good performance because she is calm and relaxed. I think Kwan is a good ice skater because she made it all the way to the Olympics games. I think i am a good ice skater because i am in Basic 6. I would like to learn how to ice skate like Kwan. I learned some interesting facts about Michelle Kwan and I would like to accomplish something like her.

Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year was created to welcome spring but Chinese New Year does not happen on the same day every year because not all the time the groundhog sees his shadow. There are 12 symbols for the Chinese zodiac. The 12 symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, rooster, Dog and Pig. The year of 2018 is the year of the Dog. I was born in 2010 and I am a Tiger and my sister was born in 2014 and she is a Horse. Chinese New Year is very important because we welcome a new symbol. A Chinese New Year tradition is putting out fireworks and putting up lanterns. Chinese New Year lasts for about 15 days. This is what me and my family do on Chinese New Year this year. We went to Chinatown and we got toys and we got clothes. The clothes I got was ...
