Hello, my name is Robert and I live in New Jersey. My favorite spot in NJ is Wildwood, because its so nice there and there's so much you can do there on your free time. Also you can walk on the boardwalk or swim in the ocean. I think all of NJ is nice, in Blenheim they use to have this really good pizza shop called Joe's Pizza. It was the best pizza on earth, until the owner died, then they closed down. When I was a little boy I use to go over my Grandmother and Grandfather's house and they would order Joe's Pizza. On November 9 I was born in Voorhees I was raised in my first house when I was a baby, then in 1998 we moved to Medford. Every Saturday I would go to my Grandfather and Grandmothers house for dinner, then my parents would take me to my other Grandparents. (My mom's parents) Every Saturday we would always visit my Grandparents, hear and there we would give them a break though. As a child I grew up with no siblings. I'm an only child. I liked being a only child, I never had to share, I never had to share the video games. I never had to go to sleep the same time they did. I love it! The best video games when I was a child were the Genesis and the Dream Cast. Those were the awesome when I was a kid. I always played sonic 1, 2 and 3. Golden Axe, Jurassic Park. There's so many to list. For the Dream Cast I loved to play all the sonic games, Crazy Taxi, and some weird Japanese game. They were all fun though. Oh! Cant forget the wonderful computer games! Yes, my favorite computer game was Tomb Raider 3! I loved playing it on the Windows 98 system! Our computers were so cheap back then. Cheesy backgrounds, and my choice for the screen saver was the 3D maze! Our family only had one computer and that was upstairs in the spare room, my mom always listened to her music on Jute Box. That was an app on Windows 98. I remember going to Alabama one summer, my dad packed his suitcase with all kinds of metal and shampoos. And he even got to take it on the plane with him. Today you could never get away with that. Security was so little back then I could take anything with me. I also remember me and my cousins took a trip up to our place, so we decided to go up to New York. It was so pretty, but at that time we couldn't walk up the Statue Of Liberty because some nut was trying to climb it. We just weren't allowed to walk up it completely, we could only go to her feet. Then after that we took a look at the World Trade Center. They were so amazing and so tall. I'm pretty sure it was the last time I ever saw them, I only saw them once and that was it. I saw the Towers right before the attack of September 11, the date was August 29, 2001. So, I saw them a month before they fell. I remember, one time I was in Alabama. Me, and my family spent time down there with my cousins for Christmas. I had a really good time. We spent time together, celebrated the new year! Until one day I decided to go shopping with my cousins and aunt. This was New Years Day! We were all happy getting ready to shop. I got my money and they got theirs! So we went in the mall, one of my cousins wanted to go in Bath and Body Works. Bath and Body Works is a store with lots of flower smelling soaps and perfume etc.. I went in, and we were in there for a good 20 minutes. Then that's when things got bad, I started to feel very dizzy and sick to my stomach. I was getting very hot and pal. I said to my aunt, "Aunt Carol, can we go? I feel sick." She said we'll go in a just minute, she had to pay for her flower smelling soap and perfume. My dizziness and stomachache got worse by the second. To pass the time I looked at some lime shampoo, then things just went black. In other words, I passed out. After a minute I was out I woke up on the hard wooden floor. Strangers and family members staring at me, I said "What happened, what happened?" My aunt said I passed out. I was so shocked, I was speechless. My cousin was by my side, the clerk was holding my hand. She said everything was gonna be ok. My mom was a nerves break down and my aunt had a look as if she saw the life before her eyes. Wendy, my cousin got up and called my other cousin. He also was shopping with us, he was buying some CDs and such. I heard Wendy say to my cousin on the phone, "You gotta get over hear now! Were in Bath and Body Works." And hung up the phone, I was so scared. Finally the medical people arrived and put me on a stretcher. My head pounded from hitting my head on the hard dusty wooden floor. People were watching, I saw an old black women. She smiled at me and did the father, son, holy spirit thing. That's where you make a cross on your chest and say a prayer. I did not smile back, I did not show emotion. It scared me, but now that was a really nice thing that lady did. To make a long story short they hooked me up to machines and said I was ok. The date I passed out was January 1, 2009. Good times, I like thinking about my childhood!
