  Every June on a Saturday, I go to a place that's outside of St. John Catholic School that's close to South Park, and that is the St. John's Mexican Fiesta. It happens every year in the summer of June on the 22nd. The first time I’ve been there was when I went there with my friend Stephanie. We went there and got ourselves some tacos. I like mine with beef and cheese in them just like the ones from Taco Bell. When I eat a taco at the fiesta, it’s also like the kind you get at Taco John’s once awhile. This fiesta also does burritos and enchiladas too. It even serves desserts and many others. Oh, and did I mention they also serve confetti eggs? Now you do. You crack them on your head though. That time was when I got to meet Dylan and Kaitlin at the Mexican Fiesta. When we got to mess around and have some fun, Kaitlin and I cracked confetti eggs on each of our heads. It was a blast when we all got together that summer. I even got to go to the Mexican Fiesta the past summer wi...

  Every beginning of August, there’s a place that I always love going to when I was a kid. This place is the Douglas County Fair. I’ll never forget my first time I went there with my family. We went on all the rides, go down the fun slide, ate some foods, and had a great time. The first time I went was with my mom and dad. My folks really loved it, especially the farm animals in the showcase. It was in the beginning of August and almost the end of July, the day we went there. It was a really fun time to enjoy it for the very first time. If I could reminisce the second time I went there, it would be my dad and I. We would hang out together, go to the fair and do the same thing we did like last year. Oh, and there’s also this thing that I almost forgot to mention earlier. There’s live entertainment. There’s even games, prizes, airbrushed shirts, and plenty more to think of. In the future, I will plan on going back there for old time’s sake. That other time was when I took my stepsist...

  There comes a time in my life when I finally graduated from high school and got to do C-Tran for the next two years. Before that, I got to meet Sally Martin when I got a part-time job at Westlake Hardward. It was exhausting and a little stressful, but at least I had a lot of fun with it though. And Sally was really happy to see me and it was really nice to meet her too. My favorite part of my job here at Westlake was when I got to water plants on spring and summer seasons, it was fun. Okay? Although sometimes I get stressed out with her, she and I can always take a joke and laugh it out with her. You know something, Sally is such a nice gal with her country music she likes listening to. One time I heard a Dixie Chicks song “Not Ready To Make Nice” once, it was on ringtone on her phone and it was really upbeat in a country pop way. Nice! The first time I met her was when I first worked at Westlake and it was during the summer season. Thank you Sally for helping me out on my job an...
