One of my favorite places to eat at is the Texas Roadhouse. This restaurant is excellent but far from home. The one I go to is located on 181 Huguenot St, New Rochelle, NY. There are many locations throughout the country because it is a renowned chain restaurant. I only go there once or twice a year because of how far away it is. It is convenient to go to when I visit my cousins who live about twenty minutes away from the restaurant because the food will never disappoint.

The Texas Roadhouse is most famous for their steaks. It is a western themed restaurant that put their meat on display to show how it looks before it's cooked. They also have amazing glazed rolls and corn muffins. My favorite dish is the filet mignon with a mashed potato on the side. The restaurant also is my favorite because the environment. You feel like you're actually in Texas. 

Even though this place really isn't in a convenient location, I really enjoy going there. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. However, if this place was to close down, I would have to go to the next nearest Texas Roadhouse. Another close restaurant would probably be in New York of to the South. Texas Roadhouse will always be my favorite.

Do Now Writing Prompt (Cloak)

If I was invisible for 1 day, I would do some common good deeds, to help people with everyday things. I would hold the door open for more than 1 person at a store. Many people don't even hold doors open now, so this would be a good thing to do. I would also help people with groceries. Many people need help moving groceries to and from the car.
If I were to do something larger, I would help poor people for the day. I would bring them food when they are hungry. I would also drop off some blankets and clothes for the winter nights that are upon us. In addition, I would spend time at the soup kitchen helping poor people feed themselves. There is too much poverty in this world, we need to help.

If I was a teacher I would like to see a ROTC program because it is actually useful for kids interested in joining the armed forces. If I were to teach this class, I believe it should meet towards the end of the day because the student's  mind would be active all day leading up to a class they are interested in. Students would get military training in the classroom. They will learn the same curriculum as some colleges that teach ROTC.
If you were to walk into this class you would see students interacting with the teacher about the certain military division they are studying. I would even teach the students basic military training that soldiers used to prepare for basic training. Students could be graded on participation and tests that would require them to show what they learned. They would also have presentations to document the history of their beloved military division.

The three people I am most thankful for are my dad, mom, and grandma. My dad is the guy I can always go to when I need help in certain aspects of life. He can always give me some tips when I do homework, especially in math. He always has my back in baseball, giving me the best opportunity to play at the college level.
I am also thankful for my mom. She always knows how to make me feel better when I'm sick. She also knows how to cheer me up. I can always speak with her if I ever want a good laugh. My mother is very comical, which is what makes her such a good person, and someone I can be thankful for.
My grandma is also someone I am very thankful for having. I don't think the word "no" is in er vocabulary. Whenever I ask her for something she almost always answers my wish. She is a great role model to look up to, she has so much life experience in the business world which can help answer my future questions when I leave college. Life would not be the same without these three people in my life.
