Love and Gelato

The book love and Gelato is a great love story with a surprising plot twist. The book is about a girl named Lina she's 16 and her mother died of cancer. Her mothers dying wish is for Lina to go to Italy to meet her father Howard. However Lina isn't interested in meeting her father because he's missed 16 years of her life but since her mother wanted her to go she went anyway. When she gets to Italy she finds out that her father lives in a cemetery, along with a woman named Sonia (Howard's friend). When Lina meets Sonia she hands her a journal, it was her mothers journal when she lived in Italy. Later on she meets a boy named Lorenzo (Ren) and they go on these adventures uncovering secrets from her moms journal. Lina finds out something that changes everything, but not only for her but for the people living around her she realizes that her life will ever be the same.

Gratitude

Gratitude, it's an emotion that makes people feel good. Thanksgiving is coming up and I would like to express what I'm thankful for. I have many things that I am grateful for but there are some things that Stand out to me. I am so grateful to have a mom, she means the world to me I could never imagine a world without her. She is my mom and dad, my parents split when I was really young and I haven't seen my dad in 6 years, so I am so thankful to have my mom throughout this whole time because she has done so much for me and I can't even explain how much I love her let alone be thankful to have her. Something else that I'm really thankful for is my friends. They are the best friends that I could ever ask for,  they are always there for me and they support me through everything I do. I could never ask for anything better than them. Another thing that I am really grateful for are my two sisters. I never tell them that I'm grateful to have them but they do a lot for me. My sister Elenia always helps me with my homework when I need it, her and I always fight but at the end of the day I know that I love her. My other sister Nadia always works hard to support my family. I don't really see her but when I do she's really fun to be around and I could never ask for a better two sisters that I have.

Lastly there are a couple things that I have to mention. I am very lucky to have a roof over my head and have somewhere to live. Not many people have somewhere to live and they are not as fortunate to have as many things as I do. I will never stop being grateful for having food and water on my table every day, no matter what I never go a day without eating and I am so lucky to have this. Lastly I am very grateful to have a bed. You might think I'm weird to be grateful for this but not many people think of this as something to be grateful for. Having a bed to sleep on every day after a tiring day is something that I would never take for granted. I will never stop being thankful for having these things in my life and I encourage to whoever is reading this to give a big thanks to whoever or whatever you are thankful to have in your life.

Election Reflection

I think that this election was a joke, it took forever to get an new president. I wanted Bernie Sanders to win but he lost to Hillary Clinton in the primaries because she got more votes. I stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch the election results and the they announced that Donald Trump had won. I ran to my moms room crying, literally crying because I didn't want Donald Trump to win. However Donald Trump winning made me want to learn more about politics, I wouldn't want to be involved but I would like to have some knowledge on the topic. I would like to learn more about politics because I want to inform myself about the whole election so that I don't confused on anything and so I know what's true and what's not true. When the next election comes sadly I won't be able to vote, I'd be 17 so the next time I would be able to vote would be to have a new president Donald Trump would have already served 2 terms. Some of the issues that I think are important is that Donald Trump wants to build a wall and deport all illegal immigrants out of the country, however target the criminals first. I think he will have trouble doing this because some people will disagree with him and not let the law pass. Overall I think that if I stay positive about the election everything will turn out okay.

Best Day Ever

My dream best day ever would have to include pizza. I love pizza so much it's my favorite food and I also really like lays flamin hot potato chips they are my favorite chips of all time along with many others.  My whole day would consist of just hanging out with my closest friends and doing a lot of fun things. One thing would be watching netflix because I am upsessed with tv it basically just consumes my whole life. So that would have to be in my best day ever, but that's only one thing I have a whole 24 hours to do things so I have to use it wisely. Another thing I'd do would be going to six flags or an amusement park because I absolutely love roller coasters, I love the thrill I get when there's a big drop on a roller coaster. A mandatory thing that would have to happen on my best day ever would be going to a Llama farm. Llamas are my favorite animals and so are penguins but I love llamas more so I would have to go to a llama farm. Then I think the last thing I'd do would sleep, I love sleeping because I get so tired after I do a lot of things so I would wrap myself into a burrito blanket and fall asleep.

The Election

Tuesday, November 8th is Election Day in the U.S. We will have a new president because Barack Obama has already served two terms and can't be president any longer, soon he will no longer be president. The two candidates that are running to be the new president are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Donald Trump is Republican and Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. So far we have had three presidential debates and Hillary was won all three.

Have you ever had an election where you didn't want to vote for either candidate. Well this year that's what's happening. In the beginning of the election many people didn't like the people who were running. Then as the votes started being counted it was down to three candidates. Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders is also a democrat but he dropped out of the race because he wasn't getting enough votes and lost to Hillary Clinton with the democratic votes. However what's really surprising to most people is that one of the candidates Donald Trump made it this far in the race.

At the moment the most expected person to win is Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is least expected to win because of his reputation. If you were to look up Donald Trump on google you wouldn't see the best things. He is known to be racist towards the hispanic culture especially Mexicans and African Americans as well. He has made very rude comments to hispanics and he is very disrespectful to women. Recently many women have publicly announced that Donald Trump had raped them or verbally insulted them. Then after most people got to know him they were surprised that he was still in the running to be president. However there were still many people who voted for him. We are really close to Election Day so the question is who do you think will win?
