As I walk back to my village I can smell the smoke. I run and run until I get to the top of a hill. I see my village It's completely burned down. But I still hear people screaming for their lives. Then I see these sails and people getting on a boat. I know what has happened and I run towards my village. I can see survivors running away and I'm pretty sure they won't come back. I look desperately for my house and hopefully my family is still alive. I run but can't find it, all the houses look the same now.

I finally spot it and I run Towards it. Nothing, but ashes I try to think positive and hope that they survived. I wonder if I could get my revenge, but the sails have already left my sight in the horizon. So then I follow the survivors hoping to see my family. I try to keep up with them, for they too have left my sight. Then I hear voices over a hill, I get to the top and I see people gathering. I thrive to see what has happened and I see all of the wounded. My brother and my mother were apart of the wounded. They were my only family now.

My resolution for the new year is to bring up my grades. Over the last semester I've been getting bad grades and I want to graduate to the 8th grade. And when you graduate you get credit points for high school , then I will go to a good college and graduate high school as well. This is why I want to bring up my grades for the year. My aunt said she will give me fifty dollars if I get a four point 0. To me fifty dollars is a lot. It may not be a lot for some parents or adults, but it is a lot for me

So first of all I want that money, and second of all, I want a good education. Plus it would be nice to say that I graduated with a four point 0. But I don't really care about the money that much, I just want to graduate. A three point 0 would still be good. Or a three point five, as long as I stay in the three or the fours, I think that I'll be happy for the year.
