It's the beginning of a new year! A chance to be thankful for everything we were able to accomplish in 2013 and start the year in an even better way. 2013 was a great year and it went by so quickly,but I was thankful for many things in the past year...

- My parents that are always there for me,

- A sister that understands my crazy moments,

- A comfortable home,

- My English teacher that makes sure we never stop reading!

- My friends that are always next to me,

- A healthy family,

- Being able to buy most of the gifts I wanted this year,

- A good education at a wonderful school,

- The chance to travel and experience different cultures,

- A younger brother that keeps everyone active.

   I hope 2014 will be a great year for everyone. There are a couple things that I hope I will be able to do throughout this year. No matter how satisfied you are with yourself, there is always room for improvement. I want to make better use of my time, and not postpone things I should do for later. I want to spend more quality time with my family, travel to new and exciting places.
