Nate's Reading and Writing Classes

By Nate Feldman A Perfect Day at the Beach One of the greatest days of my life was a sunny Saturday I spent with my friends at a local beach. We woke up early and took a long bus ride, laughing and chatting with each other the entire way. When we arrived, the weather was perfect, and the ocean looked calm and blue. First, we swam in the water and played games like volleyball on the sand.

 By Nate Feldman  Saturday was truly a catastrophic day, and I hope to never experience something like that again.   It all began when I woke up, and I looked at my bank account, and it said I had zero dollars.   I couldn’t understand what happened, so I tried to reach the bank, but it was Saturday, and everything was closed.   After that, things went from bad to worse.   I went to my football games, and we had three games.   We lost all of them.   But, it was worse than that.   I ruptured my Achilles tendon, and now I can’t run for the next year.   I told the boss that I can’t come to work, but he said, “I’m the boss!” so you must come anyway.   So, it was the worst day of my life, and I hope something like it never happens again.
