Winter break I didn't really do much during winter break. I stayed home alone since my parents would go to work and my sister went out with her friends most of the time. I have 4 kittens so they kept me company. I didn't go nowhere for Christmas or new years. My cousins that live near San Francisco came to visit for Christmas. Every year my family always meets with my aunt that lives 3 houses away from us. We eat delicious food over there in Christmas eve and at 12 am(Christmas) we sing to baby Jesus. My cousins and I watched a couple of movies in new years. We watched two Christmas romance movies, a horror movie, and a mystery movie. I didn't do any work while I was at my house because I just wanted to rest and I didn't have homework.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often." -Peter Vidmar This quote by Peter Vidmar is. He is basically saying to not give up on what you want in life. What he means by don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now is to not really focus on what you want to do at the moment but focus on what you want most. For example, if you want to go to the movies with your friends focus on what you want most before doing anything else. To achieve what you want most you have to write down what you want, That's why Peter says to write down what you want most and see it often. When you write down what you want you have to see it often to remember what you want and be motivated to achieve it. When you write down your goals and see them very often you are very likely to achieve that goal.

"A god name is better than anything you can achieve in this life" Coach K Mike Krzyzewski This quote from coach k means that having a good name is the best thing you can have in life. By having a good name he doesn't mean having a nice name, he means having a name that everyone knows and when they hear that name they would just think good things. They would not think of a criminal they would think of someone that makes good decisions, is loyal, responsible,etc. This is the greatest achievement in life because you would be known as a great person and  as a role model.

"If your so- called friends urge you to do anything you know is wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."  This statement is very true and everyone should listen to it. Many kids hang out with their friends in school during lunch but are they really their friends? If that person tells you to do things that are wrong, he or she is probably not a friend. A friend does not encourage you to do things you know are wrong such as smoking, not listening to your parents, doing bad in school, etc. Always stand up for what you think is right and don't do what these "friends" tell you to do if you know it is wrong. You shouldn't hang out with these people if you know they are a bad influence. Always know who you are hanging out with and who you consider a friend.

Columbus Day Christopher columbus is an italian explorer who was born in 1451 in the republic of Genoa, Italy. Columbus day is a US holiday that celebrates the landing of christopher columbus in “the new world” on October 12, 1492. Many people say that christopher discovered America but that is false, there were millions of people living there before he landed there. This holiday honors christopher's achievements and celebrates Italian - American heritage. Columbus day was not a holiday until president Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed it to be a holiday in 1937. People celebrate columbus day by hosting parades and fairs that have costumes, Italian food, and music. Reflection: I think Columbus day is a good holiday because it celebrates Italian-American heritage.
