The ABC's of Dan Podina

A is for accomplished and authentic, which is what I am. I am one authentic and accomplished Romanian.


B is for Brilliant. Most people ting I’m not the brightest of the bunch but truth is deep down I know many more things.


C is for clever, and I am one clever person when it comes to getting into trouble.


D is for devilish and slightly dreamy. I will sometimes do things that most people would rather not do and somewhat I still dream of owning a Bugatti Veyron.


E is for elegant and eagle-eyed. I will notice something that most people will miss and of course how could I be a good Romanian unless I dress very elegant.


F is for fat and fortunate. I am fortunate that I’m in the United States. I’m not fat literally but sometimes I tend to like to be lazy and eat a lot of food.


H is for hopeful, I am always hopeful of most things even though I know I won’t get my mansion with a Maserati.


I is for independent and most the time I believe I would be able to survive most things by myself with no help.


J is for jolly and at Christmas time it seems like im Santa Claus because I’m so jolly.



K is for kid-like because I act like a kid most the time even thought I’ getting closer to becoming an adult.

Stevenson the First Week

Stevenson the First Week

Some might say that the first time you try something it’s going to be the hardest, and they are correct in almost every way possible. As an example I’m going to share an experience I once faced and thank God I am never going to have to go through again, the first week of High school.

It all started out with the sound of my alarm clock going off. Personally I believe the best alarms are when they start off silent and gradually increase in volume, no mine though. It’s just a plain big siren –not a police siren- more like a siren you would hear if a nuke just went off. Anyway I didn’t entirely remember what time I set it for so I obviously forget to check and I think I am running late so I quickly do whatever I’m suppose to do –shower, eat, brush teeth, and get dressed the whole nine yards- then without even looking at the time I go to my bus stop.

After waiting a few minutes in the dark I finally decide to look at my bus notification thingy. Then I realize my bus is supposed to come at 6:42 I thought to my self “no biggie”. After a few more minutes I check my phone it’s only 7:27, this is where the little saying the first time the hardest comes in. It was cold out and seconds started to feel like minutes and minutes into more minutes. Anyway after what felt like eternity my bus finally came.

After I got to school the second phase of the “little saying” went into affect, having to find my way around with no map or anything to help me. First I had to find my locker, took me about 15-20 minutes to find it (searched the entire A hall for it). After searching the entire school I find my classes and school is finally over. Then the 3 phase started, had to find my locker again enter my combination and mess up a few times. After all that I have to run to the busses I have to find my bus, I think to myself “better begin in the front of the buss line so I find it easier. After about 2 minutes of walking I find my bus the last one, obviously. After all that you can guess what happen the next few days to complete the week.
