If I could change places with anybody in the world I would choose Elon Musk. Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire with a net worth of 225.2 billion USD dollars. Elon Musk is also the founder of Tesla, an electric car company. One reason I would switch places with him would be so I could know all of the secrets about what his plans are to do with his money. Another reason I would switch places with Elon Musk is so I could go to my house and leave 15 billion dollars hidden in my bedroom. I could become rich and it would damage him too much. Elon Musk also owns Twitter, now called X, so I would want him to give me his ownership. I would love having ownership of Twitter, it would have so many perks. I could contact any other famous person through twitted sense I’m the owner. Switching places with Elon Musk would be fun and it would make me rich, that’s why I choose him.

It would be a dream to have a day like this. As soon as I wake up, I would get a bunch of calls from my friends and all of them would tell me they got e-bikes. I was happy for them, but I would also be a little sad because I don’t have one. Then my parents would come in my room and tell me to go look in the garage. I would go look in the garage, and I would see an e-bike with $10,000 dollars on it. I would be frozen with shock as I slowly walked over to it. “Is-is-is,” I would stutter over my words. “Is this for me?” I would ask my parents, “yes.” I would almost pass out from shock. I was exhilarated. My face was gleaming with happiness. Then my parents told me, “We actually have one more surprise for you.” “Go outside,” my mom said. I was shocked, all of my friends were outside with their e-bikes. I was so happy. “You ready to go riding?” my friends asked. “Yes,” I said. I rode for the rest of the day, came home, ate dinner, showered, and crawled into bed, and shut my eyes.

If I had a to pick an age to be forever I would pick to be twenty-five years old. The reason I would pick to be twenty-five years old would be because you are still young, yet you are an adult and still have freedom. Although it would be nice being a child, and having no responsibility’s, I wouldn’t want to have no control over my life. Twenty-five would be a good age to still hang out with friends, have a social life, and go out partying. You could get a decent paying job, and have a family. Everything would be nice especially sense I’m a male and I would have a good body if I went to the gym. Overall twenty-five would an awesome age because you are at the peak with your body, and you have freedom and responsibility’s.

It was July 21rst, and I woke up so excited for my 13th birthday party at the beach. Almost all of my friends were going. My dad and I went early to set up our stuff and my mom went to get the food. The fun started when my first few friends arrived, and we got in the water. My friends kept arriving and each one showing up made it more awesome. After about an hour we went to go eat then play football, it was impeccable. We ate Jersey Mike’s, sodas, and brownies for lunch, everyone loved them. We went back in the crystal water then played football. After a while, everyone slowly started to leave one by one. I got a bunch of money and gift cards for my birthday presents. Overall it was a blast and probably my favorite birthday party I have ever had.

In September I read the book, Refugee by Alan Gratz. This is a historical fiction book about a Jewish boy named Josef who lives in Germany during World War II. His father gets taken into a concentration camp for disobeying the Natzis. They later meet up with his father who is a different person when they find him. They take the St. Louis to seek refuge in Cuba but after being denied they go up the American cost to try and find somewhere they can go to get away from the Natzi’s.

I liked the book at first but it wasn’t anything crazy until I got sucked into it. The book was so awesome with all of the events and the suspense it builds. I also loved how detailed it was and how unpredictable it was. Alan Gratz is one of my favorite authors ever because I love historical fiction, and his historical fiction books are so good.

Josef was my favorite character, the reason for that is he took care of his family when they needed it most. He was also very kind and did his best to help his family. One of his biggest and best personal traits was how he was always so brave. I can prove the with the quote on page 4, “He struggled in the men’s arms, trying to break free. I’ll be a man soon enough, Josef told them. I’ll be a man in six months and eleven days. This proves he is brave because he is standing up to the nazis to protect his family.

My favorite quote from the book was on page 170. “Someone yelled, Man overboard! and the ships siren shrieked. Josef’s father had jumped into the sea.” The reason I loved this quote was because even though it isn’t the best for the characters, I feel like that’s when the book really shifted moods in the characters and was just overall a very important part of the story.
