INMOTION FOR ENVISION KICK-OFF AT BIG MARSH PARK

By Charles A./Rocky I went to Big Marsh on Stoney Island for an event. I drove there with my staff; I think his name was Fred. He told me to go on because he had to leave. He dropped me off and he left.

A lot of clients were there, a lot of CILAs. David was there. Jazmin and Donna were there with me, watching over me. Jazmin was busy that day. Aquillia was there, Janet, Courtney, Marty.

Mark McHugh was there. The guy who did the Fashion Show with me and Jimmy, Z, was there too. We saw Marcos and one of his clients. Me and another client were carrying the water bucket so we could drink.

I rode around the trail. I went fast. I went 40 mph on the bike. I did a world record on that bike, it was so fast. Then we did the walk. I walked one mile. I didn't want to do it no more. I did exercises with David. I was so pooped, I was out of gas!

It was another client's birthday that day. We all ate by the picnic tables. They gave us cookies. I got two cookies! I got to leave with them because they were cleaning up anyways. They took down the flags. We had different staff helping us. We put away the helmets. I was sitting there waiting for my staff to pick me up.

THE FRIENDSHIP VISIT

By Agnes K. The Journey of Hope, they spend time with us to talk about things and BMX and all that. I had a good time to play volleyball with them. I want to visit with them. I want to visit with them and talk about stuff with them. I want to live in Europe with them and have lots of land.

The Westtown Bird

By Willie

There's a bird a Westtown, and I named it Beyoncé. I never had a pet in here. I said, "Don't kill him." I liked the bird. I wanted it to stay in here. They were trying to put it in that net, and I said, "Don't do that."

Her name is Beyoncé, and I said, "Why don't you let her stay in here? Beyoncé didn't hurt nobody." That's what I said. Beyoncé liked it in here.

She didn't like to be outside.

She liked to be in here.

THE SECRET GARDEN

By Agnes K. I like gardening. We should plant things more often in the garden. They should plant weeping willows, pines, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, pumpkins, pansies, daffodils, blackberries, raspberries, corn, peas, and sunflowers.

I was holding the squash. I watered plants. I picked squash. I talk about flowers.

FRIENDSHIP

By Latoria, Latosha, and Valerie We were dancing. We were walking on the 606. We had tacos, chips, and watermelon. Our favorite part was dancing and playing with water balloons. We had fun.

The Short Article about Journey of Hope

By Marcus W. This is a short article about how I am riding the bicycle. I rode the bike on the 606 trail, see lots of kids waving at people, and be on my behavior. I ate tacos, salsa, watermelon, chips, and water. "We had fun," I said. "I wanna go again next year."

MY VACATION

By Jamie P. I went to bowling with my friend. Her name is Katie Kacrz. I was so happy playing with her at bowling. We had a great time together. We laughed and we talked about the past, about the Norwood Park always doing all activities or sports. After we finished bowling, my mom took a good picture. We were smiling at each other.

After that, we went to eat dinner at McDonald’s by Foster and Harlem. I had 2 for 3 bundles. My friend had chicken nuggets with a small drink and medium french fries.

I went to vacation with my sister and my niece at Galena. I had a great day.

There, we went to the hotel at Country Inn. The room was beautiful and amazing with two beds. They had breakfast downstairs. We went to anywhere really. This vacation made me feel happy spending time with my family. On Friday we came back home.

My sister's birthday was July 30, 2021. We celebrated her day and we went to eat lunch or dinner at Superdawg at Devon and Milwaukee. It tastes so delicious. I had chicken nuggets and fries.

KRUGER CENTER, ENVISION

By Lucy P. It was nice. I visited Kruger Thursday. Andi and Marcos and Raul and Andrea - we went to the store and got some snacks. I saw dogs on the walk. We saw the dog walking and it's name was Frazier. It looked like Lassie.

I don't know the other dog's name. I helped prepare their snacks. She cut up the watermelon and I cut up the other stuff. We have pears and goat cheese and watermelon. I felt alright. I want to come back this Thursday. I want to attend both programs, here and there.

Wrestling Discussion with Charles I led the group about wrestling. I like how they wrestle. I talked about their clothing and their music.

I held the pictures up and explained about them. I did Andre the Giant. His manager was Bobby the Brain Heenan. I did Hulk Hogan. His birthday is August 11th. I hope he celebrates his birthday with family and friends. Stallone inducted Hulk Hogan into the Hall of Fame. I did Sting, Steve Borden. I talked about his makeup, his jackets, and his baseball bat. I want to do his makeup for Halloween.

He was in the wolf pack. I did John Cena - rapper, former body builder, song writer, movie actor. He did Marine and Bumblebee. I did the Undertaker. He was known as the Dead Man. Kane is his half brother. Paul Bearer, his manager, passed away. My favorite is Sting.

I was nervous talking about them. I was a little shy a little bit. I was out of gas after talking about them like that. After, they clapped! I was happy after that. I cried a little bit. Jimmy closed it at the end.

Thank you Marta, Anteneh, Hannah, and Jimmy for helping me. Jimmy for putting the pictures on the screen. I don't know how he did that. Marta was proud of me. So was Anteneh. So was Hannah.
