My Weekend
This weekend I was at my cousin's house celebrating his dad's birthday. Before I went to his house I was at my soccer game. We ended up winning 3-0 and we almost ended up fighting with the other team. After the game was over I stayed to watch ,y cousin Devin play. During 1st half he crashed heads with another player and he was on the floor for a few seconds and he had a bump on his head. We put ice on it and ended up playing and scoring in the last minute. When i got home I took a shower and changed into new clothes. My dad ended up taking me to the party and i was just hanging out with my cousins. We ate food and at night we sang happy birthday to my uncle. The next day my dad was showing me how to drive on an empty street. It was kind of hard at first but then I started getting the hang of it. He taught me how to turn and how to go in reverse I'm still bad at it, but I'm learning
