I am Benjamin... whoa I really thought this was way better in my mind. Let's try the old fashion way... Dear diary, I never thought I was ever going to write in here but today I decided to give it a try. Mom bought me this because I start middle school next week, she thinks this will help me express my feelings and feel welcomed. I thought my mom was going insane and I would never get a regular mom like other kids my age have but... I guess not. I do not know how diaries work so I'm just going to try this out and see how it goes. My name is Benjamin Jones... and I'm just 12 years old. I guess I like riding skateboards and playing video games and do all the typical stuff boys do these days. Currently Its 1: a.m. so I'm just going to leave this piece of trash and see when to continue. (Even though this made no sense) 

Dear diary, I just got back from my first day of school. It went great, the only problem is the cafeteria food, it is the worst food ever to be made. Secondly my favorite teacher has to be Mrs. Garcia (my Spanish teacher) she is one of the nicest teachers you would find in my middle school. Moving on the most exciting part of the day was when I got to be seated right next to my crush! In science lab. I have liked that girl since I first set eyes on her like the first day of 1st grade. Her name is Alexia Thompson she is not any typical girl you see at school. She ha- I have to go do homework so I'm just going to leave this. I really think I need to think of a better ending. 

Dear diary, today is my birthday! I'm really happy not only because you get to control your family and do whatever you want but you don’t have to do anything in exchange. I really think I'm turning into a girl now but whatever I actually enjoy writing my feelings down. I'm going to open my gifts and probably make my brother massage my feet while I play video games. Today went great, my brother might probably try to kill me tomorrow for everything I made him do, that’s all for tonight, I guess. 

Dear diary, today is the day before the dance, I'm getting ready to go to school but... I am in extreme chills. I decided to ask Alexia out (and yes, I have a plan B if she says no). Writing about this makes me feel uncomfortable even though I don’t know why. I just got back from school and I must hurry! I have soccer practice right now so I'm going to write fast. I can't believe Alexia said yes, I guess I won't need plan B (It was going with my sister by the way she got expelled from my school.) I can't wait for tomorrow. 

Dear diary, today is Saturday! (aka the school dance day) I'm about to pick Alexia up from her house. See you later. Finally, I get to write again it's been forever, if you're wondering how it went well let me spell it to you G.R.E.A.T I was the happiest man alive in that gym, we danced and giggled and repeat it all over again until it was time to go. This was the best day of my life. 

Dear diary, Today is Valentine's day, I decided I wanted to ask Alexia to be my girlfriend. We have been hanging out so much I feel I have known her my whole life. (which I technically have.) Wish me luck! I hate you; you gave me bad luck! I don’t even know why I'm still writing in this “journal” I'm so mad I could scream right now and even China would hear me. Michael (my best friend) showed me a picture and two people were in that picture, let me guess Alexia and Jason (the most popular guy in the school)  and btw they were kissing this is why I am never going back to school I'm running away. You're lucky I'm taking you with me. 

Dear stupid changer of my life diary, I'm hiding in a super disgusting looking bathroom hiding from the cops (I did nothing bad). Today is my sixteenth birthday and I'm trying to escape. Living on the streets is not that bad but I know there is better stuff, I am thankful I left just because that accident .I'm planning on buying a ticket to go to the great Big apple (New York) and becoming a Musician. It really brings me happiness talking about music. It is one of the best things ever created by humankind. I was kind of lying about buying a ticket thing. I'm actually going to try and sneak in into the plane without getting noticed. (I've learned my lesson no wish me luck) let's try...here goes nothing. Whew I made it, into the plane I'm free. You know when you have that feeling someone or something was watching you well that’s exactly how I'm feeling right now. Oh no there is someone heading my way! What do I do? It's been 2 and a half since I have written here but the person next to me is kind of cute, she claims her name is Charlotte, but we know the drill girls ruin your life so no a big fat NO.  

Dear diary, (I forgive you) it has been a long time since I've written here... lets catch up, I'm 23 today and the girl from the plane became my girlfriend and decided to propose to her... here goes nothing... she said yes! Maybe women are not so bad after all. I think I'm in heaven... before continuing writing about the proposal I got a letter from Quincy Jones! (my last name!)He wants to produce my music! 

Dear diary, today is the 3rd time I'm in the hospital, if you didn't know I turned 46 a week ago and today my wife is giving birth to my 3rd child (it’s a girl this time) the last time they were both boys ( my troublemakers) Jake and James the best boys in the world. Today my wife is giving birth to Chloe my next troublemaker. I was thinking about traveling back to Colorado, but I feel.... never mind that’s my path this is a new chapter in my life, books go forward not back. 

Dear diary, I'm 96 years old today. My kids have grown so much they are in college right now i do not know how they grow so fast except my little Chloe (she got a scholarship to go to Paris for her designs). Talking about achievements I became pretty famous all around the world. Sadly, I'm very ill today and I think my story ends here living as a grateful man with downfalls but managed to get up and start over... I am proud of who I got to be in this world. When I go to heaven i want people to remember me as the men "here goes nothing". And yes I did get a chance to meet with my family, my brother lives in Texas with his family. Tom became a world famous football star, my mom retired and lives with my dad in good old Michigan. I love you guys: Charlotte, Chloe, Jake, James, Tom, mom and dad; you guys made me become who I am today. Before I go I just want to say thank you and never ever let anyone get in the way of your dreams and one last thing... never give up.
