Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. When one only remembers to turn on the light. This quote means that bad situations may be overwhelming for a person but the person has the option to face the struggle to find a place where there is happiness. I have experienced this situation when I was in elementary school and toward the end of the school year there was a play for the American Revolution I was scared I would mess up my part and I knew I still had to do the play no matter what I was in it with my friends, so I just pushed through and It actually turned out good and I was happy my friends also did really good we were all proud of each other.

My hero’s are my parents they have raised me since I was born I have food, they take care of my siblings and I. I have a roof under my head, I have clothes and I am lucky for having all that because some kids don’t have any of that, some kids don’t have any parents, no food nothing no clean clothes. My parents work many hours a day just so my siblings and I can have the things we want and be happy. My dad has to wake up very early to attend his meetings he has meetings throughout the day and I feel bad because when he’s done with all his meeting he is very tired and he’s just doing this to pay the bills and to buy stuff to make us happy. My mom also works very hard she cooks for us she cleans the house all the time even if it is spotless she works as a tutor. I am very thankful for the family I have.

This month I read a book called Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling This book is about a young boy named Harry Potter he lives with the Dursley’s his horrible aunt and uncle and their son Dudley. His parents died to an evil wizard Voldemort, his mom saved Harry’s life by getting killed and Voldemort tried to kill Harry as well but Harry survived and got a scar on his forehead the shape of a lightning bolt. Harry’s room is a tiny closet below the stairs. The Dursley’s don’t care for him they don’t celebrate his birthday the last time he had a birthday was eleven years ago. But all that changes when he gets a letter from an owl with an invitation to the most magical place Hogwarts. There he finds friends, learns magic, learns a sport which involves flying on a broomstick, and more.

I liked this book because it’s not a book where once you get 50 pages in you get bored this is a fun entertaining book, I like the characters, I like the magic, and I like the action. I really recommend this book to anyone who hasn’t read this yet. My favorite character is Harry Potter because he is brave and determined. Harry Potter is brave, a quote to show when Harry Potter is brave is when the book states, “Harry then did something that was both very brave and very stupid: He took a great running jump and managed to fasten his arms around the trolls neck from behind.” This shows Harry is brave because he jumped on the troll’s neck to save his friend Hermione from getting hit by with the troll’s club. My favorite quote from this book is,” It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up for our friends.” This quote is meaningful to me because it does take a lot courage and bravery to stand up to our enemies and just as much to stand up for our friends.

This years I am going to focus on the word success. Here are a few reasons why I am going to focus on this word this year. It is important to be successful in life you need it to live its like water you can’t live without water and without success you will have a bad life if you are successful in life you can get a good job and the car you want a house and so on. First I am using success because I want to be successful this year and get straight A’s, last semester I got straight A’s and I want that to happen this year as well. Second to be successful I have to study and pay attention in class and try not to be absent, so I don’t miss important things. Lastly in order to focus on my word, I have to study for all tests so I can pass them all and get A’s on my grades I also have to complete all my assignments.
