A: The one that show world trade center

A: Some look like a sketch and some don't.
3.  If you could create a memorial for 9/11 what would it look like?

First off, I want to tell you what a great summer I had.   Not only did I got to the park , but I also . played baseball  One thing that I didn’t do (but wish I had) was go to six flags .  It feels so good to be at school because i wanted to see my friends.
Anyhow, I just watched a Men in Black video clip and it was really funny.  I couldn’t believe that Will Smith was acting like a 2nd grader. Looking at Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list it’s pretty clear this video was talking about # will smith.  This is because he is funny and it was talking about him.
On #4 of Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list he talks about finding what you love. Besides texting, Facebooking, and drooling over my favorite star having fun , I’m into some serious stuff.  Stuff that not everyone’s into– like sleeping. It’s true!  I could spend hours in the park and time just vanishes.  If you gave me access to a computer with a camera, Garageband, Scratch, Photoshop or 3D design software I would make a movie that showed off my talent at good.  But you know, I’m not perfect at my talent yet.  By the end of the year I hope I can i can got college.  Well, that’s all I have time to write for now– goodbye!
