I'm sitting on my brand new comfy chair, drinking hot tea, in my room in front of my computer watching Netflix. I have so much to be thankful for. 1.) I am thankful for my health, for letting me do what I want to do. 2.) I am thankful for my family, for being there for me. 3.) I am thankful for my dog, for adding more responsibility into my life. 4.) I am thankful for my computer, for making my life easier. 5.) I am thankful for my bed, for having a place to sleep comfortably at night. 6.) I am thankful for my home, for having a place that I can call home. 7.) I am thankful for my phone, for making it easy to stay in touch with others. 8.) I am thankful for my school, for having a chance that some kids don't have.

I could see myself compared to Darry because he's hardworking and intelligent. Darry is really hardworking, you can see that in almost every chapter, for example, he works two jobs, cooks, finished high school, takes care of two brothers. I could never work two jobs or take care of my sister full-time but I can do most of my homework before finishing school and then work at my mom's window blinds shop. Darry is also really intelligent, he finished high school, played football and got a scholarship but unfortunately, his parents died and he had to take care of his brothers instead of continuing his education. I don't think that I could get a scholarship like Darry because only the most talented or athletic kids win scholarships but I still consider myself smart because of my test scores.

For a long time I have been watching the "Blacklist" on Netflix, a few weeks ago, season 5 started, and when it did, i re watched all 4 seasons before the fifth.  The "Blacklist" is about a criminal called Raymond Reddington who is one of top ten FBI's Most Wanted, he turns himself in the custody and demands to speak with a new FBI agent, Elizabeth Keen who just started her job, his relationship with the agent is unknown until season 4. The fugitive that turned himself in has a list of criminals that the FBI never heard of, they are the best of the best and the team of chosen elite FBI agents takes them down one by one while making Reddington extremely rich, until in season 4 someone betrays him and almost dismantles his criminal empire, season 5 is focused on rebuilding that empire. 

In exactly 10 years, I will be 24 years old. In that time I want to graduate college, possibly somewhere in New York or Illinois and my degree would be Finances, Business or Math. I would have a job, working for a bank or a company, I know that I would get a job in Eastern States because I speak Polish and there's a lot of Polish people in Chicago, New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In 10 Years I don't want to live with my parents or be jobless.

One of my passions is playing video games. I play video games only on a computer, I use a platform called "Steam", currently i own 36 different games, most of them are single player, meaning that I play alone not online, and I also own a few multiplayer games which I play with random people or my friends.  One of my favorite games of the time is "Thief", its a single player game which main genre is stealth, like the title suggests, "Thief" is a game about Garret, the master thief, Garret's main quest is to destroy his city's baron, and make some money at the same time. One of my other favorite games is Counter Strike: Global Offensive, its a multiplayer game with multiple modes, the main mode is competitive. In competitive mode there are 10 people divided into 2 teams, each game lasts from 20 min to even 100 min, There are 30 rounds, the first team to get 16 winning rounds wins. Like I said before there are two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Ter...

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. - Frederick Douglass This quote encourages me to try harder to do everything for example, read 1 more page every day. A person that never made mistake never tried anything new. - Albert Einstein This quote is important to me because it basically tells me to try more stuff for example new books, video games or movies/shows. A person who won't read has no advantage over the person that can't read. -Mark Twain This quote basically says that if you can do it, instead of wasting time, read a book.
