Month: January 2024

The title of the book is a quote from Dumbledore, a character from the book Harry Potter, By J.K. Rowling. This quote means a lot to me because it is a reminder to not to be lazy, and to work hard for the best outcome. This relates to me because I am not much of a hardworking person, and I don’t focus on what I need to focus on. This quote can inspire me to work for what I want for myself, and therefore, is perfect to me.

My hero is my lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I look up to Jesus because he has done nothing but good to the world, and is a reminder to be more positive. person. I pray to him at night, and I feel more safe. Jesus is a reminder to make sacrifices for the life of other people, and is my ultimate role model. Also the songs at church are bangers.

For the month of December I read the book Thunderhead By Neal Shusterman.

Thunderhead is a sequel to Scythe, a dystopian where humans are immortal, and death is controlled by people called scythes. The ruler is a being called the Thunderhead, who has divine knowledge that humans coded. The Thunderhead can’t communicate with the scythes or cause death. The two main characters, Rowan, and Citra, become scythe apprentices at the start, and become scythes at the end.

My favorite quote was on the first chapter,

“The world is a flower I hold in my palm. I would end my own existence rather than crush it.”

-The Thunderhead

This quote is meaningful to me because it demonstrates the power that the Thunderhead has, and makes me think if the artificial intelligence we have today could evolve into something like that.

Summary

I only read half of the book, so I can not provide a summary

My favorite character in the book is Rowan, because he uses his power to hunt down the people who abuse theirs. A trait of Rowan is that he is a Crusader.

My word of intention for 2024 is “focus.”

I want to commit myself to focusing on school more than playing video games and watching movie series. A lot of the time I ignore my homework and procrastinate until the deadline, which leaves me with a bad grade. I also doze off when some of my teachers are talking, which makes me forget what they were saying, and leaves me with no direction on what I need to do.

Starting now, I will focus on school and get my G.P.A. to at least a three and a half.
