The Mother-Daughter Book Club.  This is the book that taught me how to love reading. Before reading this book, reading was the worst piece of my homework no matter what, and I felt like I was obliged to do it. I hated it. Then, in the summer of 5th grade (going into 6th grade), a friend recommended me to read a book called The Mother-Daughter Book Club.  My friend recommended that to me because my mom wanted me to read more. I was dwelling over the fact that I had to do something I hated over the summer. I started reading, and it was then I realized something. I actually understood what people meant when they said they couldn't put the book down, because that was exactly what happened to me. I finished reading the whole series (6 big books!) in 1 month! I love this series so much, I would be fine rereading them 100 more times. The Mother-Daughter Book Club  has impacted me so much, because I now know that if I find a good book, I can read for as long as I want! To this da...

I feel really bad for Ahmed because he didn't do anything wrong, and just because of assumptions people made (with no evidence/proof), he got arrested. I think that many people think that the phase of racism is over, but using this article, you can see that people may have guessed that this clock that Ahmed made was a bomb just because of his ethnicity and race. I am very shocked with the reaction of Ahmed's teacher because Ahmed is just a kid who's hobby is to build things. The lens that I reacted to was definitely shock because in this story, people just judged this high-school student by what other people who have same race. This is really unfair. The police officers said that they weren't satisfied with what Ahmed's definition of what the clock was. Ahmed didn't have any other explanation, other than the fact that he made this clock, and he was proud of it. I learned that I was one of those people who thought racism was almost over, but I can tell that it i...

I agree with most of these, but I think that my perspective, and forgiveness should be lower down on this chart, and I think that bravery and zest should be higher up. By changing some of these, I may become more successful because I can have make a better environment for others. I may want to change the place of where kindness, honesty, gratitude, and humility. These are traits that make people nicer to be around, so if I try to do these more, I think I would be more successful because people would want to hang out with me more. I am also fine with wether they are because compared to other strengths I have a lesser amount if them, but they are still strengths. I now know that I need to value what I can do best, and that I need to value what other people do best (a.k.a. their character). I will always remember this quiz and every time I do something I will think about valuing what I am good at and I won't dwell over things I am bad at, so I won't try to be perfect be...
