Me and my family's stay at St. Louis for visiting my dad's friend and his family & my wheelchair basketball tournament


On Friday November 8th, me and my sister had no school so, we could have more time to visit my dad's friend and his family. We started at 1:00 and arrived at 6:00 with a break in between. When we arrived at their house, a dog named Miller ran to where we were. (He was excited) In their family room, there was a crib. In there, there was a baby girl who was 6 months old and super cute. From there, we went to the Comfort Inn Hotel which was about 20 minutes away. I just ate dinner, relaxed on the bed and slept. On Saturday November 9th, we first ate breakfast and headed to my wheelchair basketball tournament. On our first game, we played against our own team but at a higher level. Our opponents won 14-10. The next game was against the Rolling Rams. They were a bit easier to manage but our opponents still won, 15-12. Our final game was against the Nebraska Red Dawgs. They cooked us, our opponents won 26-12. While the last 2 games were happening, my mom and sister went in my dad's friend's car to the St. Louis Arch. They enjoyed the ride and came back in the last few minutes of the last game. Then me and my family went to our hotel. I watched TV, ate dinner and slept. On Sunday November 10, we ate breakfast and headed to my wheelchair basketball tournament. That day, our team only played a game against the Rolling Rams. It was a tough fight. In the final 10 seconds, it was really intense. I was on the bench and one of my teammates didn't hold the ball tightly and on of the players in the opponent team took it so, our coach immediately called timeout. In the final 5 seconds, out opponents did 3 passes to a player about 8 feet away from the hoop. The player rushed so, he just threw the ball backwards hoping it would go in the hoop. Instead, it went diving above the hoop. Right after that moment, I screamed in excitement like a howler monkey. Then, some players got some awards. After that, when we went to my dad's friend's house at 12:00. The same thing happened when we visited them on Friday. I then watched the Chicago Bears game which kept going on a down-spiral for the Bears. We then left at 2:00, ate a snack at McD's at 5:30 and arrived home at 7:30.

My Trip to Rio, Brazil 2025 (Wheelchair accessible)

  My Tr ip to Rio, Brazil 2025 W elcome to my wonderful experience of our voyage to Rio, Brazil over my 2025 spring break. On Friday March 28th, I had early dismissal from school. I told most of my teachers including the principal that I am going to Brazil for vacation, out of my excitement. My dad picked me up and we headed home. I ate lunch and then my dad drove us to the airport. When we boarded the Avianca Airlines, I hoped that there will be screens but to my surprise there were none. When the plane departed, they served us snacks. I ate Oreos, Doritos, and Cheese Ramen Noodles. The rest of the time, I had beautiful sleep and observed the plane. Then, we arrived in Bogota in Columbia. In the airport, I noticed almost everyone's skin color was tan. I was starting to feel that we are in Latin America. En route to our gate to Rio, I saw a statue of a lady carrying fruits on her head. The first thing that came to my mind was coffee beans. The accessibility was pretty good. In Chic...

My trip to Branson, Missouri to visit my friends for Labor Day Weekend (Wheelchair accessible)

Image
My trip to Branson, Missouri with my friends & family  (Trip on wheels)     Welcome to my fun and historic experience at Branson, Missouri. We booked an Airbnb in Lampe, Missouri so me, my family, my friend Srihaas and his family can stay. They were heading to this location from Omaha, Nebraska. On August 29th, I went to school but had early dismissal at 12PM. During the eight hour drive, we had two fast food stops. The road in the Ozarks had unpredictable turns; just like a curled snake. It was dark. Just a few minutes  away from our AirBnB, a cop stopped us for an unreasonable reason. We didn't give the car in front of us three seconds to go. The officer explained my dad we have to count 1001, 1002 and 1003. Thankfully, it was a warning only and no ticket. Cop's computer was down so it took 30 minutes in total.  Our friends came to the Airbnb at 230 AM.        On August 30th, we did our routin e. After my dad got me ready, I went outsid...

My Italy Odyssey

  Italy trip- 2024 On August 4th, 2024, my family and I went to Italy. YAY!! We did the check-in and security procedures quickly at O'Hare Airport, Chicago. We boarded the plane that took us to Detroit, Michigan. After waiting sometime at our gate, we boarded another plane to Rome, Italy.   At 8:45 AM the next day, August 5th, we arrived in Rome. We then took a train to Rome Termini, the main train station in Rome,  to arrive at our hotel.  On the train from the Rome Airport to Rome Termini , there was a spark of curiosity about what the beautiful city of Rome was like. Still, when we arrived, I was surprised because the elevator in our hotel was very narrow so, it was challenging to get the wheelchair in the elevator.  Once  my parents figured it out, we checked into our hotel room. They booked this hotel because it was closer to most of the attractions. I then quickly realized that my parents kept telling me that Rome is a congested city. ...
