one of the most beautiful film I have ever watched is called “The Children of Heaven, Bacheha-Ye aseman (1997)”. This film shows that being poor does not direct you to unhappiness but give you hope to move forward.

I think of myself as an at least ok baseball player who absolutely sucks at basketball (unless it’s a video game). What is this paper? This is a paper over my life, the Nick Fow life. I am thirteen (oh boy a teenager) and was born at the Floyd Memorial Hospital on September 22, 2003. I like to think I came out talking about random things that nobody cares about, as that is one of my favorite hobbies. My favorite

reminded him of the cinemas in Europe his father had taken him to as a boy. In those days there had been an intermission for the ushers to bring ice-cream and candy down the aisles, an interruption that would be unthinkable in today's action packed blockbusters.
