Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal had a interesting life. He is a great tennis player! someday I wish to be like a great tennis player like him. Im a BIG fan of the exciting sport called Tennis. If you don’t know what Tennis is, well GET TO THE PROGRAM but there is lots of ways to explain Tennis. Tennis is not exactly a game. Its a competitive, sweaty, and it’s a HARD GAME. Rafael Nadal conquered it and had became a great tennis player. Now that’s called Grit

 

He didn’t start out liking Tennis. He used to be a pretty good football (soccer) player. His Uncle, Uncle Toni wanted him to play the not so well known sport called Tennis. In the past Tennis was not really a popular sport. Uncle Toni saw an aptitude for Tennis in Rafael Nadal.

 

When Rafael Nadal was 8 Years Old, HE WON THE UNDER 12 REGIONAL TOURNAMENT. I only won my first Under 12 when i was 10 years old. He won it when he was 8!! and then he started losing. He was getting frustrated so Uncle Toni stepped up his training. He turned professional at 15!!

 

When Rafael Nadal was 15, he won ATP world tour!!!!!  He almost lost match and that match was 3 HOURS!!!! thats calledGrit! When I play a match, I usually finish off my opponent in 1 hour or 1 hour and a half but my gosh thats a long match. 3 HOURS!!

 

Rafael Nadal has an interesting life. as I said at the beginning. Now I have told you about Rafael Nadal’s life. I wish someday I could have the skills like him like the footwork, shot tolerance, and agility. Man, thats a lot of skills!

Dear sister,

 

Today is a very bad day, a plane has crashed into the North Tower just ten minutes ago!

Joud, and I got stuck in the rubble, but no one is hurt. Joud is having a panic attack, because she thought she heard a crashing noise, so I peaked through a tiny crack in the rubble, and saw that the South Tower has just been stuck by a different plane!! Please wish us luck!!

 

                                                                                             Sincerely, your sisters

                                                             (Tessa, and Joud)

P.S. please DO NOT tell mom, and dad, we don’t want the to panic. When we get home we will tell them.

Dear sisters,

I am so sorry this is happening, I wish I was with you guys, and so does mom, oh by the way mom knows, she found the letter under my bed, and read it, she was crying all night.  I told her not to tell dad because he is already stressed out, but she told him, I am really sorry!!  Dad was right, I shouldn’t have left you guys in New York alone, this is all my fault!  But everything will be ok!!  I miss you, and hopefully I will see you soon!!!!!!

 

Sincerely, your sister

I’ll remember this day forever

 

 

The People

The brave firefighters who lost their lives

The courageous jumpers who wanted to live

The poor souls that burned to death

The people that live today….
