Yo Makes

Hey hey! Finally managed to log on to Blogger (the invites were in my Spam folder).  Well here's a video I made for you a few weeks back about my really cool electronic accordion.  Gan Ma and me first saw this instrument on YouTube a couple years back and we were fascinated by how expressive and versatile this instrument can be.  Finally, after a very long time saving up, we bought one early this year just before the pandemic.  That turned out to be a good time because having it during the lockdown gave me lots of opportunity to practice. At first it was really hard because you can't see where you are playing.  But after lots and lots of hard work practicing, I can finally play some songs! Hope you like this video and find it interesting :-)

      A month of school and training quickly passed. Now it was time to apply online to the on-site testing of Space Training Program. First, was the thing the general information form. On day one, we filled out an extensive form with all our information.       The next day, we carefully checked to see if we had made it to the next level. Despite the fact that 23.475% of people had been denied, we were still there. We took the math test. It was so much harder than what he had trained for, which caused me to wonder if I had passed it at all.       The next day, John wouldn't even log in to see if he had passed, so Asher had to do it for him. John was in the top 19.7987%, but he still passed and that was all that mattered. I did much better ranking in the top 15%.       On the third day, we did the science test. When I started the test, I couldn't read any of the questions. After about 30 seconds, I found out that it had defaulted to the wrong language. I was able to find the but

        "Plants Discovered on Mars", the headline read. What??? I raced to tell my best friend, John, the news. John and I wanted to apply to the astronaut training program, but we weren't sure if we would be able to get in. My brother, Asher, had already applied the year before, but had been sent home on the second day. right now, Asher is helping John and me train. We only have a month left before it is time to apply online. The online application is to decide who gets to actually go to the training school for tests to see if we qualify. That is why John and I spend all our free time training.     I headed over to John's house, where we trained together. Asher and John were already there.      "Have you heard the news?", I asked them.     "No, what news?", Asher and John asked.     "The news about the plants they discovered on Mars. Now, the astronaut training school will be more popular than ever.", I told them.     Asher, always the n
