Intentions For Next Year

     My intentions for next are to eat vitamins almost everyday. Doing so will ensure that I stay healthy and strong. I will try to take my vitamins after every dinner every day. I already occasionally do it but I need to stay consistent with it. I also wish to stay openminded. This is already a thing I'm starting to do and I want to keep like that. Finally, I intend to ave a great first year of high school and start fresh. Hopefully I will accomplish these intentions. Cheers to 2017!

Best Gift Ever

     Probably my best gift ever was my Nintendo Wii. I recieved it from my parents back in 2008. I still own it to this day and it gave me plenty of great memories. The Wii allowed me to pass time when I am bored and it allowed good times with family and friends. The Wii, in my opinion, has some of. The best video games out there and thanks to a virtual store, I have access to some old classics as well. Hopefully the Nintendo Switch gives me the same feelings as the Wii.

My Name

     My first name is Ethan. My parents named me after the actor, Ethan Hawke. My parents liked the way the name sounds and they chose that for me.  According to sheknows.com, Ethan means strong. My last name (which I'll keep private) comes from Spanish and Italian origin, which makes sense since I have some ancestors from Spain.

Favorite Quote

     "Nothing in life is promised except death" This quote, from Kanye West, reminds me that things such as a good life are not promised and I need to work for those kinds of things since death is promised. I like this quote since it comes from one of my favorite music artists and it reminds me to not really trust a promise since it may be false. But death is promised so I need to make the best of my life.

Gratitude

    I am thankful for many things. The reason why is because many people in the world don't have what I have. So, I am thankful for having a loving family and parents who can afford a house, food, and electricity. Having food is important for everyone and it's sad that many people don't have food available for them, same goes with a house. Electricity is something I'm also thankful for. With it I can have functioning lights and I'm able to charge my phone and power on my gaming consoles. So, overall I'm thankful for having the things that I have on a daily basis that some people may not have due to poverty or other personal reasons.

Election Reflection

     I personally am not involved in politics and I don't plan on being involved in the future. However, my thoughts on the election are kinda scattered. I am surprised that Donald a Trump is our president-elect but I don't want Hilary Clinton to be it either. Hopefully Donald Trump does our country good and actually makes America great again but I'm still salty that Bernie didn't win. Next election in 2020, I will be 18 years old which means I'll be able to vote! If Kanye West was genuine and is running for president, I'll vote for him!

Blogging Tips Reflection

      The two tips that I'm choosing are "Use Images" and "Read and Comment".  I chose "use images" because I feel that pictures and videos really add a personal touch to blogs. It also makes blogs interesting and not bland or boring which is something I want to avoid. Using images, charts, photos, videos, and data can help me as a writer since it can give support to any argumentative writing that I need to do.

     I chose "read and comment" since it keeps me intersted and focused in others' blogs. Reading other blogs can also give a lot of inspiration to me and my future blogs which is always good in order to keep things fresh. Commenting on others' blogs gives other authors feedback in order to improve or it gives them compliments on what they're doing right. These are tips for blogging that I feel are most important for me.
