Do Now 11/30

     I am the most thankful for my mother. My mother is the kindest and most caring woman I know. She's always quick to help whoever is in need, and will never put herself before the needs of others. My mother has helped me throughout all the difficulties in my life. Not only has she been there for me, but she has provided strength for me when I couldn't. Even though my mother works two jobs and she comes home late, she always has time for her family and her friends. 

     Although my mother is a very strong woman, she could not do it alone. My father works tirelessly beside her to provide for the family. He cares for my siblings and I, and he provides support for us when we go through difficult times. He gives my brothers advice for issues in their lives, and he provides me a strong shoulder to lean on when I truly need it. My father works hard, provides emotional support, and is the kindest man I have ever known.

     

     Not only am I thankful for my parents, but also my cat Hercules. Hercules has given me emotional support when I need it. Ever since I got Hercules, seven months ago, I have never been happier. Whenever I get home from a restless day at school, I am grateful to be able to come home to my four legged friend. I am very grateful for the people (and animals) that I am lucky to have in my life.

Do Now 11/9

     Over the short break I hung out with my friends, watched Netflix, and slept. I went to the movies with my sister, and we watched the sad movie Miss You Already. We were an emotional mess, we cried and grieved over fictional characters. It was great. Over the break, when I hung out with my friends we went to the park, drank a lot of coffee, and had a good time. I did my chores over the short break, sadly, and it was miserable. At least I got to sleep a lot.

     When I wasn't crying over fictional characters or doing miserable chores, I was watching Netflix and sleeping. Specifically, I was catching up on episodes of Grey's Anatomy, and Criminal Minds. Criminal Minds, if possible, got even more twisted. I watched thrilling episodes and cried when one of the main characters got kicked out of the show. It was terrible. Also, Grey's Anatomy broke my heart into pieces, like always. I was angry, happy, and sad, all at once. The short break was amazing!
