When I heard about this blog, I got pretty dang excited. I’ve read Harry Potter before, and as much as I don’t really like Albus, he’s kinda hilarious to be honest. But I chose the quote “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.” By Albus/Jk Rowling. I chose this one because ever since I first read it, it has stuck in my head. My entire life, my dad has always told me that even the smallest amount of light chases away the darkness. So I remembered with quote, without even realizing it. My parents have told me to always be a light, to always help others, and I feel as though this quote sums it up. Whenever someone is in there darkest of times, a small light can be the only thing to keep them going. So I want to be that light. Whenever someone is sad, or depressed, I want to be that light that keeps them going, that makes them happy. In elementary school, I never had a light. All my friends were mean, and the only friend I did have moved away, and I don’t want anyone to feel that sad. So I share my happiness with them, hoping it will make them feel better. It doesn’t always work, but I hope that it at least helps them a little bit. And people may think, “I don’t want to go out of my way to help someone.” But when I help someone, and share my happiness, all I get is more happy. It makes people trust me more and we get better as friends. It’s worth going out of your way, to make someone happy and yourself happier. I hope you remember, that there is always a light in your life. Someone who loves you and will help you through your hard times. Hope your having an aMaZiNg day. See you in my next blog!

This prompt made me sit for a while, because I have two hero’s. My mom, and my dad. I both love them so much, so I chose someone that is a mix of them both. My older sister Lyla. She is a mix of my mom, and my dad. I chose her because she is athletic and strong like my dad, and can be kind and loving like my mom. She also loves books, and has lots of friends. Her strength is honestly crazy. Before she tore her ACL, she would go to the gym all the time and would work out, she would run, strengthen her arms, and get better stamina. I want to be like her so I’m strong and healthy. She also can be really kind like my mom (but my mom is overall the kinder person). When I went up to Utah with my cousin, she was being mean, but Lyla then called me and just talked to me for the next thirty minutes, until my phone died. It made me feel better now that I had another person I could talk to if my cousin starts being mean again. She also loves books. Even though she’s an athlete, she still loves books. She has read lots of books, like the inheritance games, Keeper of the Lost Cities, Jane Austen, and lots of others. I want to be like Lyla so much. She’s also really pretty, she has blonde hair with pretty highlights, she has really pretty hazel eyes, and so many other features. I love my mom and dad, and it’s nice to have someone that’s a mix of them as a role model. I never realized how much I look up to my sister until I wrote this blog. I hope my parents read this is show it to her, so she knows how much I look up to her and love her.

For 2024 I chose my word to be organize. I am really bad at organizing. It takes me a long time to find out where I want it to be, and how easy it will be if it’s in that one area. Over the past couple months, I’ve been working on organizing, but it’s hard. I bought a pencil case that has built in organizers, but I can never find them, I got a ton of mini baskets for my skin care stuff, but I always find them in different places. The one thing I’ve always had trouble on is my room. I have clothes all over the floor instead of in my hamper or drawer, stuff spread out all over the place on my desk, it’s a huge mess. So that’s why I chose organize. To help me do that this year, I’m going to be more focused when I put things away. I’m going to focus to put my clothes away instead of on the floor, I’m going to focus when I put my skincare away, I’m going to focus when I’m just putting my pencil back in its case.
This year I’m going to try my hardest to work towards my New Year’s resolution. I’ll have reminder on my phone to tell me every morning to out my clothes away, so clean my room, and other things. I’ll put my skin care away carefully, and I’ll put stuff back instead of setting them on my desk.

Awesomely Austen Pride and Prejudice

Words bye Katherine Woodfine

doodles bye Eglantine Ceulemans

In December I read a book called Pride and Prejudice, buts it’s not what you think. Instead, it’s written for kids, it has some fun doodles along the way to really picture the scenes and the characters, and it was rewritten to make it less wordy and shorter. It’s about a girl names Elizabeth Bennet who is the second oldest of five siblings. She is determined to only marry for love, not wealth. Her mom wants her to marry really bad, someone that’s rich and proper. She meets a man names Mr. Darcy, and she thinks that he’s stuck up and “haughty.” Over the course of the story she meets more people she think she might love, and slowly begins loving Mr. Darcy.

I like this book because I love romance. It’s funny in some places and romantic in others. The story made me want to keep reading even though it was way past my bedtime. It was a page-turner all the way through. I loved how the word were written to make it more understandable for younger kids like me, and the doodles to make it easier to focus along the way.

My favorite character is Mrs. Bennet. She was more of a side character, but she was really funny. All she would talk about in how much she wanted her daughter to marry, and she kept being totally dramatic through the entire book. She would complain about “her nerves.” And how he daughter must marry or she would never speak to them again.

My favorite quote was from Mr. Bennet. He says, “‘Hmmm. Well, a difficult choice before, Elizabeth. From this day, you will be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins. And I will never see you again if you do!’” (Pg 67) I know, both parents are bing dramatic, but i still love it because of how funny it is. That fact that they will “never speak to her again” made me laughing in my bed. I like the subtle humor put into this.
