Thekid1

Hello, my name is thekid1. I live in a small town named New Baden in Illinois. I have lived in Trenton, IL, Aviston, IL, Phoenix, AZ, Mesa, AZ, Tempe, AZ, Scottsdale, AZ, Buckeye, AZ, and some where in Colorado. I have 2 brothers and one sister. I go to school at Wesclin Sr. High School. My first time going to California, I went with my dad and sister. We got to California around dinner time. The next day, in the morning, there was fog, and it was cold outside. After breakfast we went to an old bar my dad use to hang out at as a kid. One of his friends taught my sister and I how to feed a groundhog. Later, we went across the street to an old, run-down, dusty gas station. We looked through the window and saw a grand piano, chairs, and a table. The table, chairs, and part of the piano had a white cover on it. While we were looking, we saw one of the chairs move to the piano. For dinner, we cooked crawdads my dad and I caught in the creek. Music is important for this trip because we listened to a lot of the Beach Boys while we were there. When I was 8 or 9 years old, my dad took me to a restaurant we know by the golf course in Arizona. While I was in the bathroom I saw an add for an indoor go-kart track. I told my dad about it so he went to read the add. The next day, my dad took me to the go-kart track. My dad asked if you needed to be a certain age. “You can be any age, but if you are under the age of 16, you have to take a 1-hour class to get your license,” said one of the officials. I signed up for the class and watched the current race while I waited. When class started, I was scared and excited at the same time. In the class, we went over safety, track rules, and the go-kart. We took a test and then we got to go for a practice race between each other. I think I got in 4th place for the first and second race we did. After each race, you get a score sheet with your time, place, and car number. It was a bright sunny day. On Friday August 6, 2010, my mom drove me down to Nashville, IL to get my driving permit. My mom quizzed me all the way there from home. When we arrived, I singed my name on the sign in sheet. On the sign in sheet, I was 5th in line. When they called my name, I gave them all my papers. They checked the work then they gave me an eye exam. I passed the eye exam then they had me take the written exam. The exam was hard, because I was nerves, but easy, because I studied. When I was finished with the test, I went up to the front desk for the results. I passed the test with a 98%. I was so excited so my mom let me drive to McDonalds for lunch. All in all, these events have changed my life. My trip to California changed me because, I would have never seen California if it wasn’t for my dad. The go-kart track also changed me because it tested me with how much speed I can handle in a go-kart. Getting my permit definitely changed my life because of the fact that it is one step closer to getting my license so I can drive by myself. Music is important because all of the events, I listened to music.
