Journey To Success

Chapter 4

I start off my day with a bowl of cereal.
Then I put the dirty dishes in the sink.

I was bored so I walked around the house and realized there are lots of coins laying on the floor. I began to collect them and put them in my little bag. I had no idea what the values are to the coins.

"Dad, how much is this?" I showed him a quarter.

"It's worth twenty five cent" he smiled.

I found a golden coin that I thought was really valuable. But then my dad told me it's only worth a dollar. He said he got it from the car wash.

My dad wants to take us to the mall to buy some new clothes.

"Tommy! Elena! Are you guys ready to go?" My dad questioned loudly.

"Yes, I'm ready. I'll be down in a sec" Tom says.

I open the door and walk out to a beautiful weather. My brother came out with a jacket, "Tom, are you crazy? It's really hot out here. Why are you wearing a jacket as if it's going to snow"

"Just shut up okay? You might be hot but I'm cold" Tom aggressively answered.

I assumed that he's not in a good mood or he caught a flu ever since we arrived. My brother and I doesn't get along. He's 10 years older than I am. He thinks I'm annoying.

"Wait... Mom isn't going?" I asked.

"She's currently not feeling too good, I have to stop by Drug Mart later to get her some Advil" My Dad closed the door and told us to get in the car.

I kind of figured what happened to my brother, my mom is sick so she must've passed the flu to him. My family is really cranky when they're sick. Especially me.

We're now at the mall. I don't know the name of the mall but I remembered we went through a place called "Dick's".
We went into a couple of stores but there isn't any clothes that fits me. My dad took my brother to a store that sells watches. The one that Tom chose is a white-leather, stainless steel watch.
After Tom got the watch, his face brightened up like a diamond.

We took the escalator to go down to Build-A-Bear. Build-A-Bear is a place where I can build and dress my stuffed animal. I picked out a white-fluffy bear and have her wear a pink dress along with silver heels. I named my bear "Yen Wellan"

My bear can talk and whenever I press the button, she says "My name is Yen!" and etc.

I came home, quickly ran upstairs to show mom what dad bought for me.

"Mom look!! Daddy got me this! Her name is Yen Wellan."

Mom laughed. "Yen is a nice name. I like it"
