“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.” This quote was said by Dumbledore from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the movie. I think the meaning of this quotes is to show that happiness can be found anywhere as long as you try to find the good in something. This quote can relate to my life because when we went to Disney world it WBA’s humid and rainy everyday and not much fun, but as soon as we went on the rides we all cheered up because we saw that even though it wasn’t very comfortable we still were able to find fun. Those are my thoughts about this Dumbledore quote. What are yours?

The book I read for December is Blended by Sharon M. Draper. I’m almost done reading I have a few more chapters to go. What I loved about the book so much was how relatable it can be to many people it has such a great plot, and really shows you the characters and their traits. This book is about a girl named Isabella who is mixed races, and her parents are divorces. Her friend Imani finds a noose in her locker and get very scared. Her parent both find other partners and get married. My favorite character is the main character, Isabella. This is because I love her personality she is supper light hearted and caring towards friends and family, she is so sweet and such seems like such a good person based on all the information the author gives. Something Isabella says that shows her personality as a kind and caring person is, “What if next time someone hurts Imani, like physically?” This shows that she is cares about others because at the time in the story her friend Imani finds a noose in her locker and Isabella is scared for her and wants to be there for her. My favorite quote in the book is, “‘Yes’ is his reply. ‘Yes.’” I like this quote because it is when Isabella and her dad are talking about Imani and she asks him if she is black or white, and that is his response, this is my favorite because I think what he says shows that it doesn’t matter what race you are, and that you should be treated any other way because of it.

Instead of making a New Year’s resolution, I am going to focus on one word. That word for 2024 is family. I chose family because I want to focus on seeing family more often. It can be hard to see family sometimes since some live far away and with sports or music it can be hard but I think that it is important to see family and make time for them even if that is just calling them or texting even. The second reason I chose family is because I have so many cousins on my mom’s side and lots of time we only see them on holiday events, so I think we should see them more. The last reason that I chose the word family is because we see my family on my dads side all the time but right now my grandparents are away on a cruise all around the world and wont be back for 5 months, I really miss them already and I hope we can call them when they get on land and have internet! These where the reasons I chose the word family as my word for 2024 have a great year!

Somebody I look up to as my hero is my mom. I see my mom as my hero because no matter what happens she is always taking care of me and my sister, if she is sick or not having a good day she still comes through (sometimes she yells a little while doing it though). She makes dinner almost every night and (almost) every time its good, she is always happy to make food even if its 7 in the morning. The last reason my mom is my hero is because she always takes us shopping and lets us get a treat every once in a while, plus she is always happy to get them for us. These are the reasons my mom is my hero!
