What Comforts Me
 
There are three things that comfort me. Spending time with my family and friends, listening to music, and going bowling. Spending time with family and friends is key to me because they can make me a better person and make me feel better about myself. My family and friends always support what I do and anything I do. My favorite time with them is probably while we are eating because we can talk about what happened in our days and stuff like that. Listening to music calms me in a different way however. I usually listen to music when I'm laying down in my bed. Music clears my mind and makes me thing of the melody's, harmony's , and the lyrics of the songs. Most of the time I listen to nice and calm music(like Maroon 5 for an example). As for bowling, its a sport where I focus on nothing but what's in front of me, what's in my hand, and what I'm aiming for. Bowling for most is just throwing a ball down a lane and hitting a few pins. My goal in bowling is to knock all ten down. I get relaxed in bowling when I know I'm in control and I know what I am doing.

Poem

Journal Prompt/Poem
When I think of the name Hunter, I think of a boring name. It is normal and blank like the sky on a summer afternoon. With the sun beaming out of its clearness My name has no ring to it, no interesting letters, no interesting sound, and no interesting meaning. 'One who hunts', that is  what my name means. Not trying to be mean, but I could have easily guessed that from a mile away! Speaking of a mile away, my name comes all the way from Poland and Scotland! That is much longer then a mile though. No celebrities are from Poland or Scotland. However, both Hunter Hayes( who is a singer) and Hunter Pence(who is a professional baseball player) share my name! Its kind of cool knowing that people that are famous have the same name as you. I have 2 nicknames, Luchi, and Luciano. Both of my nicknames come from my grandpa. Everyone who knew my grandpa thinks me and him are exactly alike. He was tall just like I am. His heart was also as big as mine too. He was a gigantic tree that could speak, a wise and tall tree that spoke knowledge to anyone and everyone. He took booming steps when he walks "boom boom boom"I take pride in my nicknames because of the meanings behind them. Knowing that I carry his knowledge and wisdom deep down inside.

Journal Prompt 
 
 

If I had to pick between a horse, a chicken, and a cow, id have to pick a horse because of various reasons. Horses can be used for tons of things such as transportation. I could use the horse to get food from my neighbors with money. I could also use my neighbors horse to make more horses to sell. I would then use the money to buy food or animals for food(like chicken or a cow). Cows don't really do anything so it would be hard to get anything out of them besides food. Chickens are a bad choice only because even though I can use their feathers for food, I would have no way of transporting from one place to another. Its like buying a car but with no wheels. I also think horses are better if your just looking for a cool pet(out of the 3 you had to pick from).

Thee most disgusting liquid I have ever had in my life would be a V8 drink. One day I was looking through my fridge and noticed a V8 can. Thinking that it was my favorite kind(strawberry banana) I took the can and I went out the door for school. Lunch came around and I was very dehydrated. I couldn't wait to have a refreshing drink. I opened the drink and I took a big gulp of it. From that moment on, there was a feeling of anguish in my stomach. I almost threw up in my mouth. It tasted like cold chicken broth mixed with expired ketchup. I look at the label of the can and in big black letters it said "TOMATO". I was to frustrated to even speak at the time but inside, I felt embarrassed and pain in me!!
