Wiring to Canada

Wiring to Canada

Close to the end of the school year of 2008.

Like every other normal day my parents are going to put my Sis Daria to sleep. Just before they went my mom said:”Katty we need to talk about something really important!”.
I couldn’t think of anything really important and I knew
nothing important was going on in my family. Well, not as far as I knew .I watched TV while brain storming what could be the “important thing”. Finally when my parents came out of the room
trying to be serious but failing after a couple of seconds bursting out laughing .When they sat in our “ kinda messy “ living room
My dad said:” We got a choice from my work “.Would you like living in Canada? Finished my mom. Without thinking I said “YES!” Then I ran to the computer searched up “Vancouver”
and found a water park .I was more and more excited till I noticed that I won’t see my loving sweet family that often any more. When my parents told the whole family of course they were sad and even kind of mad. After about 2 month of packing there came the day before I was moving when I went to sleep I realized that this would be the last time I would ever sleep in this apartment but then I remembered that my grandparents from my moms side are going to live in this place! So, I felt a bit relived .When I woke up in the morning my parents told me that they were up the whole night .I felt bad for them they had they had to carry Dasha the whole day! When the evening came the streets are dark we went to my grandma for a “snack”. My grandma loves to cook so she made mini sandwiches with fish eggs, and other stuff like salads.
When I was full I looked at the clock and I got more nervous I went to the bathroom because I felt a bit sick but I was fine
. Finally when it was time to go I went into my grandma’s car with
My mom and sis. Than we
Came to the airport .We places are stuff into the plain and went on. When we came to check place we had to say goodbye to the whole family. Of course my mom burst into tears so did I my dad didn’t cry at all well, my sister didn’t either I don’t think she understood what was happening .When we past the security check we had to do a passport check. When we were done the passport check we were to go to the waiting place. We waited another 30 min and went onto the plain. After we were in the air the workers (stewardesses) turned on the mini TV’s.
After like 2 hours we landed because one of the stewardesses
didn’t feel well . On the plain I saw 3 movies and slept for most of the time. We landed in Toronto in 10 hours. After this short connection we flew to Vancouver. After 5 hours we landed in Vancouver. We got a car from Avis which was a Hyundai Santa Fe.
Soon we were in port moody. My sister was sleeping for the whole car drive. When we arrived at the house we were supposed to live in for 2 month I already liked it. It looked fancier and newer than our apartment In Israel. We got into the garage and found our place, parked the car and got out. We got into our apartment , my sister was still asleep , my mom went on the couch , I went onto the carpet , and my dad actually ….. Umm I don’t remember
I think he went to buy medicine for my mom and than went to sleep too. When I woke up everybody was already up .
On the next day I we went to explore the area we found out that
There is a park near by too. Everyday we went to that park . Once we came to the park and went some other way though there was a
Pole with the sign that said:” Caution bear near by. Last seen
July 5th”.My mom and I got freaked out we stood there for a while thinking should we go or shouldn’t we? But we decided that we will. When we got there we saw mom’s with baby’s younger than my sis! We were so surprised! It was so unusual for us to read signs that say “ Bears in the area” and past that sign people are not afraid of bears! After a week from July 7th the date of our arrival was my birthday! July 16th.When I woke up I knew it’s my birthday. I got out of my room and saw a baguette of flowers and a cake! I was so happy. I didn’t need any present my present was to be with my parents and sister! Still we went to a really fancy restaurant called Cannery seafood restaurant. We had a wonderful time. After a week or so my parent’s wanted me to go to
To summer school to learn some English before going to the real school. I had a test and I didn’t have the worst class I had a pretty high level! After I finished summer school we found our own apartment to live in because the one we lived in before was from my dad’s work. The apartment was in SFU . We found out what schools we connect to and they were Westridge or Sperling. We
Picked westridge because it’s English emersion. I was really excited and bought all the stuff. That is my life , my happy , exciting , and interesting life!

Strange but Loving

One amazingly bright day my brother, dad and I went out for a walk in our neighbourhood Collage Park, Port Moody, when all of a sudden I saw this strange orange dot in the distance. I started to wonder what the orange dot could be. As we got closer I saw an orange tabby cat. I started to walk closer to this eerie cat. Wondering if I should pet it or not. I made the choice to pet this eerie cat. So I started to pet it then it stared at me in silence. My hands started to sweat so I started to walk away. The cat followed. So I stopped walking away hoping that the cat would stop following us. But no, the cat was still following us. Like your shadow following you at sunset. I started to get frightened. About half-an-hour later the cat was STILL following us! We were at home we had to rush into the house and shut the door immediately. After we shut the door the cat was pawing the door I felt like a racoon was trying to get into our house. A week later we went out for another walk. She followed us again! A month later we started to get to know her so we called her Jeanie. Every walk we went on Jeanie was there. Her fur was so soft and she was so nice and gentle. But a year later we had to move from Port Moody to Burnaby. I was so sad; Jeanie and I were like best friends. I never got to see Jeanie again, and that's just too bad…



THE END

Stitches

On the night before Valentines Day, I was running across the house trying to escape from Nerf dart tag bullets. Running to my room as fast as I could and ducking as well, I looked up and the doorknob was right below my eye I could feel the skin spreading a part right below my right eye. I hit the floor but luckily not to hard, I started to cry I could barley breathe but only for a couple seconds. I got up and ran to my bed it hurt so much. My brother realised I was hurt. He asked me if I was o.k. I did not answer. Then my dad came in I told him the story. My mom was in the shower when this all happened. When she came out she was shocked I told her what happened. We hoped into the car and went to the hospital, we were waiting in line for so long…the time passed I don't know how long we were waiting but all I know is that it took so long, I was sitting in the chairs with nothing to do I wonder why it took so long there was not very much people. Finally the said are name I was so glad it was are turn, we went into the room. They were holding a needle I was so freaked out. First they placed the freeze. In I could feel them putting it in it barley hurt then they started to place the stitches in I couldn't’t feel a thing. The good thing is I only got 2 stitches. But i have to admit it wasn't really as bad as i thought it would! Now i know not to run in the house! The end!!!

The Fight to Canada/The Final Day

The Fight to Canada

“Mommy, where are we going?” I asked. “Just into
Town,” she said. When I was little, I never knew what
“WAR” was. I loved to read books; I didn’t care what type of what I read, as long as I read it. Until one day I finally found a book about war it was called WW1 and WW2. I never knew what it standed for, I just knew when I saw some of the pages it involved a lot of guns. After I finished the book, I figured it out, we were going into war, and nobody could stop it only our army.
My mom told me we were moving out, but I sincerely doubt it, she just tried not to make me scared. I remember reading a sentence it said “Serbia started World War 1”.

I never believed it, and it wasn’t true also. “That’s a lie son, we never started it was Germany.
Another sentence said that over 70% of the people in Serbia die because of war. I was wondering if I was one of those 70% people or my whole family. My body shivered I usually don’t know this much, but I figured it out. I loved my family, and I would do anything not to lose them






Part 2 The Final Day

Today it all started, my dad turned on the car. “Were getting ready, load the packages and the luggage,” my dad said.” We started the car, and we went, when it was about 4:00 in the morning, my dad turned on the radio and checked if there was any news about our country getting war, but their was nothing yet.

When we finally came to a different town, my mom and dad realized that that's where our grandparents lived. So my dad picked up my grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles but one uncle didn’t want to go, he said he’s lived here all his live, and he’s not moving one step. From that point, I never saw him again.

Then after my dad picked up my grandparent’s, cousins, aunts and uncles, we drove at 5:00 in the morning hoping tanks wouldn’t detect us, for me and my family, it was scary, for me I didn’t know what tanks did in that time, so I wasn’t as scared as my family was. We finally landed in a place called the “Kotor” I realized that’s where I was born, so I loved the place.

Everyone was talking, playing, and having fun like nothing was in their way every time I was at some place I like I always started giggling since I was only a baby. The funny thing was, no one ever knew that the war was about to go on. My mom and dad ran to the airport so they can get tickets for me my mom my dad and my brother.
My brother understands this more then me, because he’s been through more than I have.

I decided to stay calm and not to worry, but it didn’t work that good. When we finally went to Canada, I knew it would be a long time to learn English and make friends, but at least I didn’t have a chance of dieing.

My First Birthday Party

When I was grade three I was having my first Birthday party! Usually at Taiwan, there’s no Birthday party because there’s lots of people and will rob you quickly. We can’t even come over to some ones house! Since I moved to Canada with my family, I’m having my first Birthday party! My Birthday party was on Sunday! I was so excited. My mom and I went to the Dollar Store to buy the balloons and piñata. We went to Safeway to buy candies to put in the piñata. On Saturday my heart was pounding really fast I can’t even sleep. When the day same, my heart was pounding faster then ever. I invited Aurelle, Eleanor, Kacaja, Jennifer, Germaine, Paige, and Hallie. Unfortunly, Paige and Hallie didn’t come. When I heard the door bell ringing, I was jumping up and down. Finally, someone’s coming! I opened the door. All of them arrived. We played wii. After when were done wii, we went to a room that was empty, but there’s a bed. We jumped on the bed and there were balloons on the ground. I was afraid of jumping on the balloons because it pops when it’s broken. After were done jumping on the bed, we went to Westridge. We played grounders, pole tag, and swung on the swings. After that we went back to my house. We had some snacks. We ate ships, and candies. We played hide and seek, after we ate snacks. We have a water balloon fight. Jennifer pored water on Kacajas back! How mean of her. She even tried to pop a water balloon on top of her hair!!! We had Popsicle sticks. When were done eating Popsicle sticks, we went hitting the piñata. It was so hard! The piñata finally opened. There was candy all over the place. People were screaming all over the place while they picked up the candies. It was weird! After the piñata, finally the best part ever, its CAKE time! The creamy, icy, big, delicious cake was so yummy! It was pictures of butterfly! We draked7up while eating cakes and chips. After the CAKE, I get to open he presents!!! Aurelle gave me sand box. Kacaja gave me a teddy bear. Eleanor gave me a thing that you put pencils in it. Jennifer gave me $20dollars. Finally Germaine gave me $25dollars. I was happy that I got those presents, but I am sad that the party was all over. To bad that I have to wait till my next Birthday.



THE END!
