What am I Grateful For?

     It's almost Thanksgiving, and there are so many thing this year that I am grateful for. One of the things I am most grateful for are my friends, this year has been really tough already and without my friends I don't know how I would be able to pull through. My friends have been there for me through everything, well the ones who actually were my friends. My best friend, Emily, is someone who has helped me through honestly everything since the day I met her. I can not be more grateful to have her,  and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. She's not only like my best friend, she's also like my sister. I can't be more grateful for the friends I have right now, and I'm glad I have them.

Election Reflection

My overall thoughts about the election in general is that it was very intense and very unpredictable.

It really had me thinking about the society, and how many people actually were rooting for someone to be our leader who has said what he said and done what he's done. I'm not trying to be bias, but come on. Really? Someone like Donald Trump is not fit to be our president, he is the bias one here. W

     The book "Flyaway" by Lucy Christopher, is one of my favorite books so far this year. I haven't read many books this year, but with this book I just couldn't abandon it. Every time I thought something good was gonna happen for them in the book, another plot twist would happen. Usually, with things like this, I would get upset because I wouldn't want every single thing being ruined, but the plot twists just kept on making the book even better. This book is nothing like I read before, it had so many emotions and so many elements to it. Even though this book had a lot of things going on, I could still relate to it in so many ways. I think that's why I fell in love with it. Even in the beginning, the book just instantly had me hooked by a thread. As I continued to read, the thread became thicker along for my interest in it.      Moving on from that, I'm gonna start talking about the book and what it's about. In the beginning, everything was fine, th
