I woke up on Christmas day with a smile on my face. My usual routine followed. Brushing my teeth, eating breakfast, then just hanging out with my cousins. Most of the time families open their presents right when they wake up, but my family has a huge Christmas party with all of my cousins and uncles and aunts at night on Christmas. At the party we relax, eat delicious food and just have fun. Then the time comes, where all my family members gather around the humongous Christmas tree. One by one our names get called to receive our presents. I was waiting anxiously for my name to be called. Then finally, my name was called by Santa. I happily ran and danced my way to Santa. I got my gift and immediately sat down. While the rest of my cousins were getting their gifts, I was shaking my gift and all sort of things trying to figure out what was inside this box. Finally the countdown came to open our presents. 3...2...1... OPEN YOUR GIFTS NOW!!! I ripped up the the box so bad, pieces of it flew to the other side of the room. I ended up getting a pikachu talking toy which made me tear up because how happy I was. I will never forget this day.

Gun Control

The main question for this is "Should everyday normal citizens be able to own a gun. Some people say they should be able to own a gun if they want to. Others say people shouldn't be able to own guns. I am neutral about this topic. I think normal citizens should not be able to own a gun because people say they would use a gun for protection. But the thing is most of the time they are used accidentally, Criminal assault wise, or they are tool used in suicides very often. In 2014, Chicago alone had 432 gun related deaths which is not as large like the 1960's to the 1990's but it still a insanely high number. But now on the other side, I think normal citizens should be able to own guns because lots of people use guns to hunt animals during hunting seasons. Even though there are murders and homicides, people have to be more very careful and have common sense that it isn't safe to have one around young kids or let people mishandle and kill someone on accident. Also people should know that they have at least something they can use to defend themselves from attackers or malicious animals. 

motivation

The quote "Believe in Yourself .... All things are possible" in my opinion connects to me a lot because if I get into something I really like doing like sports, I motivate my self to practice a lot so I can better. I never say to my self that I cant do it. A goal may be hard and really hard to complete, but its never impossible. If you dream and work hard, you will be one step closer in accomplishing your goal. Also, I believe this quote applies to everyone who is trying to accomplish something very important in their lives.
