In the summer when I go to Greece every day I go to the beach and I go swimming I love swimming  and snorkeling in the waters and try I to find seashells,  but when I snorkel with my friend and her dad they taught me how to catch  octopus. Octopus normally live in rocks by the reef so you have to swim out far to get to the coral reef . It takes a lot of energy out of you if you swim there but if you snorkel its very different when you snorkel you can look down and see the sand and how perfect each line is and you can see the fishes swimming all together in one lot and you can see the sun shinning into the water making the ocean shimmer when swim you don't focus on that and in my opinion you really miss out. Once you get to the reef its so pretty but scary its darker and deep its around 30 feet down and I gazed around for a minute and when I looked up everybody will be further ahead and a wave of fear will rise over me until I catch up.The way to find octopus is to look for there house they live in rocks and they are very clean the clams and mussels that they eat they always put the shells out side of the house to keep their house clean. After looking in the reef we couldn't find any they were all out getting food so on our way back to shore we were still pretty far out but past the reef  we saw an octopus just sitting in the sand it was probably only 15 feet down so I went down to go get the octopus I grabbed it then brought it up then my friends dad took it and bit it's head and flipped it inside out and a sack containing the heart and organs came out and then Myrto (my friend) told me to put the octopus on my stomach because the suckers still worked and that way I could swim without holding it when we got back to the beach we went to a big rock and threw the octopus on the rock 70 times to make it thicker then you let it dry and then we went to Myrto's  and cooked the octopus in olive oil then when its done you serve it in olive oil and vinegar with a side of cucumber and tomatoes and it was a really good memory.

My Summer

Every summer  my family and I go to Greece. We have a house right by the water, and every day we go to the beach. my sisters and I will wake up every day around 11  and have breakfast and get dressed for the beach by 12 we start walking to our friend's Myrto And Artemis's house to pick them up. Myrto and Artemis are my best friends, Myrto is 15 like my oldest sister and Artemis is 18  they aren't too close to  my age but in Greece nobody cares about your age because its the summer. When we get them we all walk to the beach.  When we are at the beach we go swimming, we tan, we play card games and running games like  one that we made up called NCIS which is basically tag hide and seek tag. We play volleyball and we play a game in the water your partner gets on your shoulders and there are 2 or 3 groups and then you try to knock the others down. Then after the beach we go home and eat dinner and then go to the park and play cards, running games and eat ice cream and we go home at midnight. Then we wake and do it all over again. A lot of my friends ask me why I have to go and if I can stay because I go every year but I honestly would rather be in Greece every summer I love going I wouldn't trade it.

One of the best movie I have ever seen is Frozen. Frozen is a Disney movie about two sisters Elsa who is powerful but scared and Anna who is kind. Anna is trying to fix a problem that Elsa caused but Elsa is just sending her away and closing the door on Anna. This movie is also a comedy even though I have watched Frozen more than 7 times I still laugh at all the funny parts.  My favorite character is Olaf he is a snowman who loves to sing and just wants to see what summer is like. I would give this movie 5 stars.

                                        New Years !!

   For new years eve my family and I went to Cheesecake factory. I had Fettuccine Alfredo and for dessert I had the Godiva chocolate cheesecake it was so good. Then we went home and played a card game that is like black jack but instead of going to 21 you go to 31. My oldest sister Athena started with the most money but my dad and I kept whining her money. My dad won but I was a close second. Then when it was twelve o'clock we had champagne (carbonated juice). Every new year my mom makes a cake and hides a coin in it.The cake is covered in powdered sugar when we cut the cake the first slice is for god and the second slice is for Mary the third slice is for the house and then my dad my mom my oldest sister Athena sister me and Zoe. Zoe got the coin in her piece which means she has good luck for the whole year!    

                                     Debate

For English class we are doing a debate our group is debating if Sex Ed should be taught in high school in my opinion sex ed should be taught in high school because in our age more teenagers are more sexually active so they need to learn how to be safe when having sex to prevent pregnancy and std's.Other people argue that sex ed should not be part of the health curriculum because its a whole different subject and talking about it and even providing condoms at school makes people more inclined to have sex. I understand why people would argue those reasons but sex ed is part of health because it is teaching safety and how to be healthy by avoiding std's.
