" Eleven" short story response

            The short story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros has many reasons why people can still act the way they did at a younger age. For example when I am playing catch with the baseball and brother with my dad and I make a bad throw and he goes up the street chasing it, I feel like I am 10 when I was playing little league. Also I feel like I am five when I am sitting on the couch with my four-year-old sister watching an original Disney movie like Toy Story. When I listen to a country song by Garth Brooks I feel like I am eight singing in the car to the radio with my mom. Even when I watch a scary movie in the dark and get scared I feel like I was six or seven when I would go to bed scared to death and stay awake all night long. Even when I go to a ball game I feel the same way I was when I was going to my first game ever whether it’s a Nuggets game or even a Rockies or Broncos game. Or even when I am watching the Super Bowl very year I feel like I am five when I was watching the Broncos win their first Super Bowl in 1998. At work if I don’t know how to do something and I know I should have learned it by now I feel like I am 16 when first started working. Or when I walk into s store and telling my parents that I want everything that I see I feel like I am six years old again wanting everything. These are some of the things that make me feel like I am younger than my usual age.

one word that describes me

One word that describes me best is sportsminded. I love sports and always know what's up to date. People always ask me something about sports if they don't know something. I know history of sports also. My dad and uncle always give me sports trivia of history of different sports.

No Melo, No Jersey

The New Jersey Nets owner said  Tuesday that the Carmelo Anthony deal is off. The owner said that he never even talked to Anthony in person. The trade deadline is within a month away and Carmelo is still a Nugget. However Anthony's contract is up at the end of the year. The Nuggets have offered Carmelo a 3 year 65 million extension and it is still sitting on the table to be signed. Anthony does want to play in front of his hometown in New York. If Melo waits until the year is over, there is a good chance that he will go to New York.
