Seeing The Lights

by W, Sacramento

My favorite view is LA because it’s my home and everything about it is amazing. I haven’t been to LA in a minute, but everyone loves to go there. I would say it’s very well known. My parents moved to LA and that’s how I discovered this amazing city. 

I love going to Hollywood. The view is just not like others. You can go to the top of the hill and you will see all the city lights. You will see all the traffic lights and all the building lights. To get there, you have to drive up the hill. 

It’s a small parking spot. You can park and see the lights and see all the cars, but you can’t hear them. When I go, I like to throw rocks ‘cause you can’t see or hear them when they fall. 

The best vacation I’ve ever been on is a trip to Asia when I was younger. When I went to Asia, I got on a flight with my mom and dad and my brothers. When I went there, I was about eleven to twelve years old. 

The clothes were so different, the people were so nice and different. I was like, meeting angels. The view was amazing. The food was so good. I wish I could have it again. It was so unique. The music was very different. The thing I will never forget about this place is how whole the people treated us. 

If I’ve never been there, I think I would want to go to Mexico ‘cause the Mexican food we eat in the US is nothing like the food in Mexico. I’m thinking on when a good time and I will be think the right time will be when I’m eighteen because I want to travel the world.

I can play sports and go to college and become someone new and who they look up to. I feel like it’s so hard to love yourself when you have people putting you down and hating on you because you are something special and they all know it. 

You just don’t know because they don’t want you to see it. Loving yourself comes with confidence and a lot of people are the way they are. It takes time.
