For my student choice assignment I would like to talk about my New Years which is Laos New Years. Laos New Year is this weekend at out Temple in Northeast Philadelphia. In the morning we pray from nine to eleven and receive blessings from the monk. After praying people like to donate money and food to the temple because they believe that it will bring them good karma. There are so many people from Delaware, New Jersey, and New York Attend Which makes it super packed. When you step outside there are many different tents where you can buy food, toys, and clothes. Lucky for me I don't have to pay for food because my mom has her own tent selling food so that's a good thing for me. Later on in the day everyone gathers to parade around the block as a celebration. My uncle who is in a band with his friends set their equipment up in the back of his truck playing live music as the parade follows them singing, dancing, and screaming! Once the parade is done everyone heads to the back and gets ready to watch the beauty pageant they host every New Year. After the pageant is over there is a talent show for anyone who wants to join which is always fun to watch. As you look around it's nothing but good times and good vibes. Everyone having the time of their life!
