THE BIRTHDAY PARTY    

  Firstly when Tauji asked me whether I want to go to the birthday party. (I thought the party must be like the birthday party we have in India .) And I said yes. He said to get our things ready like our sleeping bags , tooth-brush etc. I asked “Why?” and he said that it is a sleep- over party. Then I understood about  that stuff. But then I thought I don’t know anyone of Sanjeev’s friends. But he told me that he will introduce me to them about me. Tauji dropped us there. Sanjeev introduced me to his friends and Mobeen’s (the birthday boy) parents. When we reached boys were playing video games . Sanjeev and me also joined them. Then we were going to have a talent contest. There were eleven of us in total but one boy ( David) came in  the middle. Everyone had to do something. Whoever wins he will get a prize . I told an Indian joke and believe me or not I won the contest. Then Mobeen cut the cake and opened the presents. We had given him a chess board. He liked it very much. Then again we started playing video games . I was not good at them. Then we watched a movie called “Air Bud”. It was about a boy who teaches a dog to play basketball and later on he becomes a member of a team and makes his team win the match. Then we ate Pizza and watched another movie which was “ Wild America”. This was about three brothers who went in the wild to take pictures of wild animals and have a lot of adventures. It was a cool movie. Then all of us went to bed but some of them were throwing pillows at each other and Sanjeev became very mad at them . He told Mobeen’s parents then they finally slept. When we woke up we ate breakfast . There were pancakes and French toast. Then we again played video games and I was a lot better this time. Tauji came and we went back home . As a return gift Mobeen gave me  juggling balls. I liked this party a lot. 

                                                FIRST DAY I WENT T O SCHOOL

The day before I was getting the stuff ready. I was really excited to go to school. But one thing was rotating in my mind , the children will(may) make fun of me in school. But nothing of the sort happened in school. I went to school in a bus. When I entered the school we went to the office. The kids welcomed me nicely. I wrote a journal and we went to chapel. It is like assembly which we have in India but it is once a week on Wednesday. There we sing songs and say prayers. It was Wednesday. We have to wear a special dress today. When we came back to our class Mr. Sigmon (class teacher) introduced me to the class. They asked me some questions like where I live in India , about school etc. Then in each class Sanjeev introduced me to the teachers. My favorite teacher is Mr. Sigmon and my favorite subject is Science and the Math teacher was Mrs. Parent. I didn’t like the food in cafeteria (where we eat lunch ). I ate only bread and jam. In the break Sanjeev and I just talked. In Art class I made tessellation. Then we came back in the same bus as we came  in the morning. The experience was really amazing. I was really anxious to go to school the next day also.
