Tennis

Tennis is a fun sport. For me the scoring is just… strange. In tennis there are a few types of shots and they are backhand (I’m not good at it), forehand, volley, overhand, serve, half-volley, drop shot and lob. For tennis all you need is a net, a racket, a ball and maybe a person. If you’re playing alone for me and other people that I know would have our opponent be a wall. I used to play tennis after school on Fridays at the Hope Valley Country Club in my neighborhood. I would do it with some of my friends. In the summer of 2023 me, two of my friends and another girl that we met all had fun at Duke to play tennis. I’ve been playing tennis since I was six I think. Here are the pictures of the places:

Cooking

Cooking is one of my hobbies. I love to cook. One morning in the summer last year I made breakfast for my parents and me out of one of my cookbooks. I think starting in December after Christmas my mom would order two different meals from fresh market for me to cook for dinner twice a week. Last night my dad made one of my recipes that had noodles, a white creamy sauce, broccoli and chicken. Tonight he’s going to make the other one. If you order for five weeks straight so you would have ordered ten meals then you would get three extra boxes to give to friends and family. I cook, my dad cooks, my mom cooks and my brother is just the taste tester. I’ve been cooking since I was eight. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Here are some recipes that I have made:

History class

Every afternoon noon when I have history we start with a song that connects to what we are doing today. While me and my classmates are listening to that we are also completing the firecracker of the day and writing down are homework. Then our teacher turns off the music and asks us what the name of the song/ song writer is. Then we tell him what we wrote down for the answer to the question. On the first day of the week when we have history and the last day we would watch the WEEK IN WRAP (WIWR). Then we will go straight into whatever we are doing today. Near the end of class sometimes we would have time to do our homework or no time. Then we leave and head to are next class or break.
