For Christmas, the only thing I asked for was hot chips which I did not receive but is very well deserved.

A statement my sister made was "Emily is so hardworking, she helps around the house with dishes, laundry, the dog and guinea pigs as well as her own needs. She stresses over school and working with theater and still manages to get everything complete."

As difficult as it is to focus in school, I manage to keep up my grades in all my classes, including an additional class with zero hour, and learn my lines and choreography for not only the musical, but now on the play.

I am not asking for a lot, I am a simple child with simple needs, I only ask for a little bit of spicy food, please and thank you.

For Christmas, I really wanted to get a puppy but I never got one and I really deserved one!

Evidence: Quote from my daughter Charley: "My mom is the best mommy in the whole world! She always plays with me, feeds me, and she snuggles with me every night!"  (Pathos)

Hard Evidence (Logos): I taught 124 students how to write a literary analysis first semester after reading Of Mice and Men with all of them!

Anecdote: Last year, I gave birth to my daughter, and for that, I feel anyone who does that deserves to get what they want for Christmas!

For Christmas I was hoping I'd get a pay raise. But I guess some other Christmas

Quote: A quote from my supervisor Chris: " Can you close today?" I here those words a lot since I'm the only human who likes closing at my job so when ever they ask 90% of time I say yes.

Also the amount of overtime I tend to accumulate is insane. I am one of their most dependable workers at least top 10 and I'm always ready for what ever they need me to do. Whether it be get boxes from the back or facing items I am ready to do what ever they need me to do. Since I need this money for college.

For Christmas I really wanted a PS5 but never got one even though I definitely deserved it.
Quote from my brother: "I even feel like he deserved it, I'm mostly saying this though because I also want it."
Evidence- This whole year I did my best especially in the second semester of school. I tried extra hard with whatever my parents needed in the house, especially when it came to economic problems with my dad and being his translator since he isn't the best English speaker.
Anecdote- I basically did everything i was told to so I feel like this isn't too much to ask for.
If only they were actually in stock.

For Christmas, I really wanted a PlayStation VR but I never got one and I feel like I deserved it.

(Logos) - I do all my chores everyday without being asked to do so and I always help my parents whenever they need help.

(Pathos) - I feel like I deserve that VR. Being a teen is very stressful and I have to deal with a lot of work so that is why I feel like I deserve it.

Quote from my dad: "Thank you for always helping me cut the grass and the neighbors grass."

For Christmas I wanted a electronic keyboard but I didn't get one

I've had 3  surgery's in the past year.

Also if  I have another surgery the keyboard would keep me entertain in the period of time my recovery would take  and not have me be in my room for a week an a half sleeping all day.

Although the constant doctor visits I've had to go to which causes missing school days I think I have done a good job in keeping up in school and having good grades.

# data[].attributes.body
This past Christmas I asked for a dog but sadly I didn't get one, But I believe I deserved a dog this past Christmas.

A quote I hear said by adults in my life when they talk about me is "He's one of the smartest, most quiet and humble kids I have ever met" Which that alone should be a good enough reason, to why I deserved a dog for this past Christmas.
I was also able to keep up a 3.5 gpa last semester, while playing football in the fall at the same time. Which was very difficult but I was able to do it.
Also anytime anyone in my family needs someone to watch their dog, I'm always the first one they ask because they know how much I enjoy being around dogs. and they also see how good I take care of them. Just showing how good I would take care of a dog if I had gotten one for Christmas, which sadly, didn't happen this year:(

For Christmas, I wanted new shoes but wasn't able to get them because they didn't have it in my size.

I have to go to school for 10 months out of the year and deal with 5 different teachers that each do things differently and all give there students a lot of work. I have to do my work keep my grade up and pass finals twice every year. I have to do all of that at in school while wearing a mask that will hardly let anybody breathe. I do what I have to do at home and school. Hopefully one day I get them even if I spend my money on them I will get them eventually. It doesn't matter how long it takes me to get them I know one thing for sure is that I will get the shoes I want.

 For Christmas  I wanted a puppy but I didn't get one all though puppys make everything better

# data[].attributes.body
quote from my mom: " Youre very responsible, you help around the house and  you help me take care of your sister''

Logos: I've taken care of my sister for as long as I can remember so i think a puppy is well deserved

Pathos: dogs are like puppy's they need as much care, i love taking care of little kids their funny and adorable so it wouldn't be any different with a puppy. Plus a puppy brings joy and who doesn't want that.

Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was an electric guitar.

I believe I should've received this gift for a few reasons, I do well with passing in school, I do whatever my parents tell me to do, and I'm always doing what I need to do.

I've been asking for this gift for a while now and I still haven't gotten it, I do have an acoustic guitar but I really wanted an electric since it sounds way better and I'm really into rock music and I'd love to play some songs I like!

I feel like I should've got this gift since my parents know I play guitar and how much I love music, hopefully they get me one next year, or ill just get it myself!

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, the only thing I wanted was another week off school which I did not receive but I really deserve.

A statement form my sister's were " Jonathan deserves to rest, he does his homework he always helps around the house when asked and always takes out the trash by himself."

I always maintained my grades B's A's during first semester and finish the work I'm given.

this may sound much but I am need of relaxation and I will be forever grateful.

# data[].attributes.body
a gift I didn't get was a dog. we had a dog before but he passed away and I've been asking my parents to get me one. i think i deserve the dog because I've always done everything i had to do, I'm a student athlete i do all my school work and get good grades but I never get a dog. my dad acted like he didn't like our last dog but in reality he really did love him. i told my sister to get a dog for her 10 month old baby and then just give it to me, she said she might do that. But who knows maybe they want to surprise me with one for my birthday or maybe i just keep asking and hopefully they say yes.

For Chstimas, I really wanted to get this camera but I never got one and I really deserved it and wanted it.

A statement my brother said was "Jennifer is really responsible and always helps with things even if she has school, she has long days but she always completes everything."

My job is school and I always manage to keep good grades and focus 5 days a week not only school but also my home responsibilities.

Asking for a simple device is not much it's something unharmful and unexpensive. And will save me space for my phone since I'm constantly being told I have too much pcitures.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
what i wanted for Christmas is red stripes Yeezy 350. i really wanted these shoes because i've  been trying to get these shoes for almost 2 years.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been behaving at home and outside of school not getting into any trouble and that's better than what i have been doing in the last year and a half and i think that's enough for me to get the shoes. i am very disappointed that i didn't get the shoes because these shoes are very hard to get. these shoes are reselling price for about 1,100 dollars very hard to get because of how expensive they are.

# data[].attributes.body
What I wanted for Christmas was a ps5. I wanted a ps5 because when I'm bored I can go to my room and just play my ps5 with my friends. Ever since the ps5 came out I have been wanting it because it is the newest game system. I understand it is a expensive thing though, and it is hard to get your hands on but it would be nice to have one. I hope I can get one some time soon though.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas I wanted Studio equipment.

I Have been recording music on my phone for the past 3 years. If you know anything about production and engineering than you would know that this isn't a great way to record. I need to record music it keeps me sane and helps me stay calm. My phone isn't giving what it's supposed to give.

When I was on youtube once I seen a famous artist give pros and cons on different ways to record unfortunately the way I record was considered to be the worst option.

I deserve it because I do what I'm suppose to do regardless of how I feel about it I follow directions given to me.

I also sacrifice a lot to help others and I feel that should be rewarded.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, I wanted to get another cat but I didn't get. Which I really deserve.

Having another cat is what I deserve. I deserve another cat because I've been helping around the house. Washing clothes for my mom and my brother. I take care of things I need to do.

I've been trying to do good in school to get a good grade. I always try to manage my get my assignment done. I also managing my attendance and tardyness.

I know asking for this is a little to much but my other cats need another company for each other.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas I wanted the biggest pipe cleaners, but I never got them and I really feel like I deserved them.

Evidence: I kinda already had those but the ones I got were smaller which is fine but I love my bigger pipe cleaners because they were not actually used for cleaning pipes, they were actually used for all types of art, I could create almost about anything out of these pipe cleaners, I could make a perfect flower out of them.

Evidence 2: First semester I had 5 A's and 1 B because I worked really hard in my classes, getting help from other teachers, studied for tests with my study guide, and participated in every subject in my classes. (Logos)

Evidence 3: I remember to throw out the garbage without having my mom to tell me because I am smart enough to do my chores in the house, and because of that I feel like it's a nice thing and you can get any present you want for christmas.

# data[].attributes.body
This year for Christmas I wanted a pet rabbit but I didn't get one even though I deserved it.

Evidence:  According to my sister to why I deserved a pet, "Natalia does well in school and if she's falling behind she focuses hard on trying to catch up."

Evidence (Logos): I have younger siblings and I help my mom take care of them when she's busy so taking care of a pet rabbit won't be as difficult since the responsibilities aren't new to me.

Anecdote: This school year hasn't been easy. Therefore, I've been working hard on getting good grades and doing what I'm supposed to do. Therefore, accounting for my handwork I do deserve getting a pet rabbit since it's what I wanted.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I didn't get a PlayStation 5 for Christmas mostly because it was too late to ask for it since i decided to ask 3 days before Christmas.  

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence: Quote from my cousin: You should've gotten it for Christmas but it wouldn't have been easy since they go out of stock quick, but you do deserve it since you passed you're final exams and you've been doing what you're parents say and helping them around the house and all that. So I did my best this year and this was mainly the only thing I wanted so no one else spent so much money for all these other presents.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, I would've liked some new skate shoes, I believe that I've worn my current ones out, they have holes from to bottom!

My sister often teases me for wearing my current ones, "Desteney, your shoes look bogus, even your socks are peaking out."
Hard evidence: Before the winter I went out and skated everyday, I made it home and asked permission when going out.

(not done)

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, I only wanted a a slime licker but didn't get.
I don't talk at all at home, I don't bother no one, I'm always in my room and organizing it and I only eat candy so i deserve one.
I have never even tried one of those and they don't cost that much.
I wanted one just to try one and i have seen them on social media and wanted to get one ever since.

For (depressed not so snowy) Christmas I really wanted a simple 3D model of this awesome VTOL gunship to have displayed on my desk to play around with it. Which I have not obtained on the deadline even though I worked day and night skipping breakfast only to have not received one simple aircraft model

A statement that was remarked by my brother was, "You should 100 percent get that model cause you stressed yourself out for attempting to get 4 A's. You worked and studied day and night for it so why not since your the best brother ever!" (Pathos)

It is said that during the last semester that I have skipped breakfast over 100 times. Nearly never using the bathroom, holding in my urine until I get home. Also counting robotics on Mondays and Fridays where I stay until 5. I always do my work as best as I can and half the time I can be seen studying on topics that catch my interest. I work even outside of school having to take out garbage, fix cars and also fix the pipes to prevent flooding. (Logos)

I wanted to keep things on the budget and just wanted a simple mini aircraft model that costs only about $10 plus shipping fees which isn't a lot. I am grateful for a huge 4k TV that got hooked up to my room but maybe have some decoration to go with it. Living in a depressed room ain't my idea of "relieving stress".

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, really wanted a

Evidence/ Quote:  "M

Hard Evidence- I work 4 nights a week and still mantain my school life. I also have completed my Drivers Ed, and Certifaction for lifeguarding during the first semester.

Anecdote: I had my first inperson semster of highscool and going back to a shedule and being able to keep up is an accomplisment for me.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was a cat.

I believe I should've gotten a cat because of a few reasons.

(Logos) I do all the chores that my parents tell me to do. I also have two dogs already that I feed, bathe, and get rid of any mess they leave behind so I already have experience with taking care of animals.

(Pathos) Another reason that I deserve a cat is because I always work hard to achieve good grades and turn in my assignments. I feel like getting a cat could be a reward for all my hard work that I've done for the first semester of my sophomore year.

I understand that it might be costly, but I would've really liked to have gotten a cat this Christmas.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was a PS5

I wanted this because I was passing in school, I don't get in trouble in school, and I do what in need to do everyday, even my family said this.

sometimes it just makes you feel sad but the ps5 is pure happiness honestly.

I literally had the ps1,ps2,ps3,and the ps4 so why not have the ps5 its been out for 2 years not that new.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, what I really wanted was a brand new house, but I still live in my house instead of a new one.

Ethos - Not only me, but my mom wants a new house. She said, "We need a new house."

Pathos - I would be really happy to get a new house, I would be able to jump around with how much space it has. But I'm sad in my house that is not big or new.

Logos - A statistic shows that 100% of people that get a big new house are happier.

This Christmas I did not receive pencil lead.

Yes pencil lead, I feel like a deserve pencil lead because I like to have extra for school.
The school work that I could have done! (without asking for a pencil).

It's honestly so sad, think about the people without lead. asking for pencils. So inconvenient for any teacher.

I've been asking for this since October. Waiting for the day that I will receive this.

I should have gotten a puppy for Christmas since puppies are adorable and because Ryan Reynolds likes puppies

A puppy is something i deserve i am highly respected and i show that i am responsible for alot of things i do my work i pay for what i need and i take care of my niece and nephew when no one was there for them.

A dog is a mans best friend which means everyone needs a dog in their life or atleast someone who is capable to help them( LIKE A DOG)

This Christmas, I was hoping to get a  polariod camera.

When I was younger, my aunt gave me her old polariod camera. A few days later, it broke and the pictures came out blurry. Getting a new polaroid camera would be nice for good memories.

I know I'll use this camera often with how much I use my uncle's cameras. More than half the photos and videos were taken by me.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wanted to get for Christmas was a new phone but unfortunately I didn't

I wanted to get this phone because I was passing all of my classes my mom noticed that I was but she didn't get it for me because we were low on cash.

Another reason why I wanted to get this phone/Christmas present was that the phone right now I've had since middle school basically and I told my mom that I needed an upgrade, so I showed her the phone I needed to get, she said maybe and I already knew ahead of time that maybe meant no.

Third and final important reason is that the new phone I needed had good battery life this phone that I have right now it can barely last for an hour or two.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I wanted for Christmas was tickets to out of town somewhere.

I wanted to go travel somewhere for the first time so I can get a good experience. And I have been doing decent in school and trying my best so I think they should've surprised me with tickets.

Another reason I think should've got a ticket for out of town is because everyone went somewhere out of town but me and I think that's not far I want to experience what they did.

My last reason is I never been on a plane ever and I think when its time I wont be ready because I waited too long to even go. And maybe I'll try to get even better grades then last time so maybe they would think about it.

# data[].attributes.body
i wanted a vr headset for chrismas but i didnt get it because it's expensive. i feel like i deserve is because i have been out of trouble.

it would also be a good experience because its vr. i tried to convince my parents because they want one too but they say its a waste of time

it can also help with work and learn.

# data[].attributes.body
All I asked for for Christmas was to leave town for just a little while, something I DISASTEROUSLY didn't receive.
The plan had been to visit Chicago for a few days. If that wasn't plausible I would be content with going ANYWHERE else. Break is two weeks long, after all. But alas, I was restricted to my home besides the occasional walks I would take around town.

It has been a hard few months, and I wanted nothing more than a chance to get away to somewhere I could distract myself from my strife. Really, I have been SUFFERING. It is absolutely HEARTLESS of.. uh. the pandemic. i guess. to KEEP ME INSIDE LIKE THIS. Unimaginable cruelty. I'd be crying for me if I were you.

July 9 to July 14 2021 I was blessed with the chance to go on a trip to Minnesota. While nothing insanely remarkable, it was a wonderful experience for me. Because I had been waiting. SINCE JULY 2019. To leave my house for ANY more than a day. And prior to that the only vacation I have good memory of was June 2019. This is a DEEPLY unbalanced pattern that can only lead to desperation and suffering. I clearly require more frequent vacations.

And oh, to make matters EVEN WORSE. ALL of my friends were able to leave their towns for vacations over break, some over thanksgiving break as well. All of these people, of course, pity me and would easily argue for my right to vacation. Most of my close friends live in California too, which, as we all clearly know, must make them famous and therefore credible.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I wanted for Christmas a guitar because I've always wanted to learn to play, and I always had good grades.

I also should get a guitar because its cool and Ed Sheeran Plays guitar and he's famous, so famous people use it

One more reason I should get a guitar is because I once said, and I quote "Mom I want a guitar" and my cousin has one so I need one to show them up.

In the end I should get a guitar because its cool and I want it

# data[].attributes.body
All I wanted for Christmas was huge muscles and I didnt get it even though I deserve them.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson himself stated, "Bruno has worked too hard for so long to have tree trunk legs and 12 abs" Ethos

If I dont have insanely large arms how will I be able to hunt and feed my family, they will now starve without me providing for them. Pathos

I have also put in the hours, 5x a week I try to lift heavy plates in an attempt to grow these weak, noodle like arms. After lifting so much for so long its only right that I have earned some progress but I have not yet reached anywhere near Dwayne's physique. Logos

I needed a battery because sometimes I feel like my phone and laptop drain so quickly.

My school laptop is a 2015 notebook with high battery degradation. It shuts off at 30% because it's really at around 1%.

And when I forget to charge my phone, an external battery could've came in handy whenever there's not an outlet around.

They are popular on Amazon, many can relate to this.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I really want for Christmas but didn't get was an extra pair of hands. And I personal think that a ton of bs. I clear deserved this, and Santa was just being stingy.

One, I have a lot of things to do, and having extra hands could help multitask and get things done quicker. Especially when working on art or writing.

Two, it could make me actual want to participate in sports since have an extra pair of hands is just unfair.

Three, it just funny. Imagine an idiot walking around like they're an freak from other planet. That's comedy right there.

So in conclusion, we should burn the north pole.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was a small little puppy.

I wanted this every since I was like 6 or 5 I wanted to have a little friend with me and to play with but I couldn't get it because my mom didn't want to get me one because she says I won't feed it, take it out for a walk, and clean it.

I been begging for a dog every year but never got one until my mom finally said we will get one when we get a house but then again I know she won't get me one because she will say again I won't feed it or nothing.

But trust me I well keep begging for that damn puppy lol.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was paintball pods

I believe that I should've got the gift for these explanation, I listen to my parents more than I used to which is a good thing and I would clean when told ,also I did get my grades up a little last minute and they would be very useful.

I would use good pods now but it really sucks that they are hard to use while playing and when I look at other peoples gear I would feel a little insecure about mine but I would be grateful that I at least something but it would make my heart explode if I had them.

I need a upgrade because I have been using the same pods ever since I started playing paintball which as been for 3 years and the pods are made from a good brand because it caries more paintballs than the pods I have now. The price for them is a little high but they would help me while in games.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have liked to see family for christmas because that is what we always did but since covid had gotten really bad at the time we couldn't do that. :')

# data[].attributes.body
something that I really wanted for Christmas but did not get was another dog.

I really wanted another dog for my current dog that I already have. The reason why is because my current dog could use a friend similar to him to play with and keep him company when everyone at my house leaves for work and school. During the school day I think about how lonely he may be when we are not home. He deserves a friend to make sure he does not get lonely. (pathos)

Another reason why I wanted one more dog is because I take such good care of my current one. I take him on walks, feed him, take him out to use the bathroom, and I play with him. I can handle taking care of another dog. (logos)

Finally the last reason why I wanted another dog is because I see such cute puppies who need a permanent home. It is very sad how many dogs have no forever homes and I would like to make sure they live in a nice and good home with me because I am a good dog owner. (pathos/logos)

For Christmas I really want to get a car but I did not get what I wanted

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence: Quote from my grand father:" My grand daughter is the best driver I know she has been practicing  driving every since she was 12 she I feel like she deserves a car! she is getting older not younger!(Logos)

I have to take the bus everyday in freezing ice cold weather and wait outside for hours and hours until it comes body almost frozen solid with a car I can drive my car there and back not standing in the freezing cold snow it would make me the happiest little girl in world going placing without having to be in the cold for a very long time.(Pathos)

I literally drive my cousins car all the time I go to the store, and sometimes to the mall I been driving since I was 12 I am 15 becoming 16 in may driving as always bee my favorite thing to do I always drive my family members cars all the time what is the difference now that I am older I should get my own car.( Logos

Something I wanted for Christmas was a longhorn stuffed animal and I never got one.
Evidence: I am a great student who tries their hardest for school. I have never gotten sent to the office in my entire academic career.  I've had multiple breakdowns due to school, so I deserve this stuffed animal.

Hard evidence: I clean the house everyday and cook occasionally. No one has to ask me to clean up, I just do it. Besides that, I take care of my little could and brother when I get home as if I'm their parent. For that reason I feel as though a stuffed animal is necessary as a form of payment.

Anecdote: My dad didn't want to get me this because I'm "too old". As if I tell him he's too old to be watching Madagascar. Therefore if I get my longhorn, everything will be considered even.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, I really wanted a Bored Collie but I never got one and I feel like I deserved it.

Logos- I have been working a lot and have worked 8 hours a day. I have helped with chores around the house and have been doing good in school.

Pathos- I really do deserve a dog since I will be able to maintain it since I've been working, I can finally support it and take well care of it. It will help me with my mental health and not make me feel so lonely at home. It would make me happy if I do end up getting one or I'm going to have to get it myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was an orphanage document for my little brother (this is all a joke).

Reasons why I (cough my little brother cough) deserve it:

-First Reason: My little brother is always loud.
-Second Reason: He makes the room for messier then it already is.
-Third Reason: Since he is young, he can get away with things and blame the older brothers (me and my other brother).
-Final Reason: He is a Fortnite kid and is also the devil.

I wrote this because I never asked or begged for anything for Christmas so I wrote this.

For Christmas I wanted a new car, I slept early just so i can wake up and see it parked outside the house.

The primary reason I should have gotten this because I made sure that I got good grades and actually gave a bit of effort towards all my classes.

Second reason is I made sure I got to school on time even on days that I didn't want to go i got up and got ready.

Final reason is because I made sure I didn't miss a single day in class although I did get to some classes late.

Something that I wanted for Christmas that I didn't get was mac book.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted this and deserved it because I passes all my classed and I passed all my finals. I don't get into any trouble at school.

Second reason I deserve this is that I always help out around the house and clean without being asked. I help my mom out with my siblings. I'm just a good kid in general.

I wanted this because I could good things with this I could search thing i might need to know and i could watch movies. honestly it would be a nice gift to receive and i could use in the future.

something I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was an iPhone 13.

I should get this gift because my phone was broken by someone, I was completely devastated and balling my eyes out for hours. I've always taken well care of my things and its wasn't really even my fault.

I have the iPhone XR and its just old and slow, my camera quality is so bad. Apple was in a $500 million in a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company slowed phones to prompt customers to upgrade to newer ones. I needed the newest one so that I can have a phone that works

Since my phone is so old all my pictures and videos come out blurry and just look bad, Phone 13 is more adept at low light,, it produces clean and detailed images. Having the iPhone 13 I would have better camera quality.

# data[].attributes.body
What I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was the book No Country For Old Men.

My mother even said, "Natalia is a great kid, and I think she should get this book because she's a straight A student and those As show that she is a hard worker. Therefore, she should get this book." However, my father thought the book was too violent.

I am honestly very sad about this because I've wanted this book for so long, and I feel like I deserve it. For example, not only did I get straight As, but I also did my parent's chores and I never complained about anything they made me do and yet my father wouldn't let me have this book.

Yes the book is a little intense, but this book makes me want to read chapter books instead of graphic novels. Also, isn't it better for kids to use their imagination instead of looking at pictures? The answer is yes.

# data[].attributes.body
for Christmas I really wanted a new iPad pro but I didn't receive one .

EVIDENCE 1: I do art so a ipad would help me out try new medias or types of art because it is on a different platform and could help me reach out on what else I want to try.

EVIDENCE 2: The ipad I was looking at is my moms old ipad pro that she DOES NOT use anymore, it sits on her desk and I feel as if I could put good use into it with what I an interested in rather then it going to waste .

QUOTE : "If I give you this one then you need to give your older one to your younger sister" which I did agree to.

Something that I wanted for Christmas and didn't get was DBD. I decided that I wanted to get this because it's a game I wanted for years. I should have gotten this gift because it is a horror game that can be played with many friends and have laughs and scares with each other. I've been getting decent grades up to Christmas time and I should have at least gotten a new game of some sort. I help around in the house, do chores and make food sometimes, and all my parents say is to just do well and pay attention in school, in which surprisingly, I always do, Monday through Friday.

Something that I wanted for Christmas was a drawing tablet, but I didn't get it.

Many in my family had expressed that I had wonderful art skills, stating that I drew beautifully and had inherited these skills from my mother. Even my sister stated, "Ambar's such a wonderful drawer. Sure, she needs to learn a little bit of shading and  learn how to add just a teeny bit more details sometimes, but other than that, she has awesome art skills."

I had grinded and worked my butt of to get the grades I have today. I have almost all straight A's, I studied, I pushed myself to participate more in class, and I even learned how to socialize with others easily, therefore making it fairly obvious that I had made great progress in life.

I am a hardworking sophomore, my family obviously knowing I have distinctive art skills that I can put to the test if I had simply received a drawing tablet. So, it's the least they can do, and I deserve it!

something that I wanted for Christmas but didnt get was a dog

I believe that i deserved a dog because of a few reason

(Ethos) Not only me, but my little sister wants a dog too. My little sisters said that we need a dog

(Pathos) People say that dogs are there owner best friend and there arwe some dogs that dont have any home in they are on the streets getting beating and kill

(Logos)My grandma has a dog in my mom is ok with her dog. In when the dog use the bathroom in the house i was clean up after the dog and my mom said one day that we can get a little dog before

something that i didnt get for christmas was new beats which i did not end up getting.

i wanted the beats because the headphines i have at the moment are missing the left ear bud, due to my cousin dropping it at the mall when i let her use them. another reason i wanted them is because the ones i have right now iritate my ear because of the grip thing and the beats fit pro seem better. the final reason is that the fit pros seem more portable

i wanted this coach bag for christmas and i didn't get it

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted this purse because its cute and fashionable and i was passing all my classes and i stayed out of trouble n jus needed a new purse, and like im a great kid so like i deserve it!
Logos- I nver really ask for anything but like i was doing great in school and had good grades and i was doing chores and what i was asked.
Pathos- i feel like i deserve that bag because i was doing the stuff that my mom asked me to do and like i was being a good kid. I haven't got in trouble in school or haven't got a detention or a call home from school so its like im proving myself and why i should get the bag. (also i keep my room clean)

For Christmas, I really wanted an oculus quest 2 but I didn't get one. I worked most of the summer and on weekends with my dad from 7-4. I feel like this reason should have gotten me the oculus. Another reason I should have gotten the oculus is because I help my mom a lot too. When she isn't home I help her by taking care of my younger siblings by playing with them or just hanging out. The third reason I should have got one is because LeBron James has one and who doesn't like LeBron.

The thing I wanted but didn't get for Christmas was a Pc.

The main reason why I should've gotten this for Christmas is because I got good grades and passed every class.

The second reason I always help around the house, washing the dishes, and doing the laundry.

Final reason I've had restless nights, staying up to do schoolwork, and I think I deserve a reward for all that hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I wish I would've gotten for Christmas was a T.V.
A quote from my grandma. "She is so responsible and works so hard in school, I am so proud of her." I always take care of my stuff while my siblings tend to break things but they just get another one.
Even though it was hard going back to school after being online, I still managed to have good grades in all my classes.
I help out the most in my house like doing the most chores, watching my younger siblings, or even helping my mom cook. My other siblings hardly do anything but they get rewarded more so it should be fair that I get something that I want for once.

For Christmas something I wanted but didn’t get was a telfar bag, and I feel like I deserved it.

Logos- I have been working hard in school and getting good grades. I do all my chores at home and a lot of extra stuff I do around the house, and I don’t get into any trouble.

Ethos- I seen an famous Instagram influencer with this purse on and I feel like I should have because she had it on. She also makes me wants this purse because I have the outfit she have for this purse.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wanted for Christmas is a new Graphics card for my pc.

I wanted this because i needed a new one cause my old one has been acting up recently and I dont know what to do to fix it. I need a new Graphics card so i can get a better experience and ive been doing good at school and trying my best.

Another reason why is so I can play with my friends and have a fun experience with them cause without it I cant play my pc and it makes me really upset that I cant cant hangout with my friends.

last reason I never had a really good graphics card and I want to k now on what I am missing out on and the longer I wait for a new one its gonna be to late because I already missed out all the fun I guess ill try harder next time.

All that I wanted for Christmas is a pug.

Ethos: My mom knows I'm responsible. I always help wash the dishes and take care of my little sister. She knows I'll take great care of my little pug.

Pathos: They are so cute. I am stressed sometimes and with my pug by my side, he will lighten up my mood.

Logos: Dogs have feelings just like humans so I'll never neglect my dog. Additionally, a report from Michigan State University backs up the claim that dogs make us more active.

Something that I wanted for Christmas is pc ram.

I wanted ram so I can have a better experience because the ram i have now is too slow. Like I have been trying my best in school and getting good grades so I thought that they will at least give me new ram.

Another reason I think I should have got ram is because all my friends have good ram and getting more fps and better speed to load things faster they are having a better gaming experience than me.

My last reason is I never had good fps and loaded into games faster. and the more i wait for new ram my friends will have better parts than me meaning their going to out speed me in everything and have a lot better experience in all the games we play Ill try harder just to get ram.

something that i wanted for christmas and i didnt get was a set of wheels.

i wanted this because i would do what my parents asked me to do and i would do.

i've been asking this for a while since its for the truck that i've been building for the past few years my parents know that one of the last pieces that the truck needs.

For christmas i really wanted some sperry's but i didnt get none. i think i deserved them.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence: quote from my mother, " i get you things because you do what i tell you to do and i never have to ask you to do anything". (pathos)

Hard evidence (logos): Ive been wanting sperry's for the longest. I deserved them because i come home from school everyday and clean the house and walk the dog. Idont think its fair that im the only one that has to clean the house but i guess.

Ancedote: I think people who help their parents out a lot like me should deserve what they wanted for christmas. :)

What I really wanted for Christmas this year
was Black Cat 4S.
One reason why deserved I deserve these
shoes was the effort I put in at home. I do
more things then I should be doing and don't
expect anything out of it so I deserve some
recognition for it.

My second reasoning is my behavior. I’ve been staying out of trouble recently and not giving my parents a hard time. I should be rewarded for not giving them a hard time

My last reason is because I never ask for anything big so getting these shoes would make up for all the things I didn’t ask for. I could always get them myself but since I’ve haven’t asked my parents for much, this one time won’t hurt.

For Christmas, the only thing I wanted was a green tree python which I did not get but I feel like I deserve it
Quote from my uncle " Andres always has his room clean, helps around the house when I need help with a job he always comes with to help me"

Asking for a simple snake which I work to feed it and have all the stuff to get it and I could breed it and have more baby snakes.

Plus my little cousins love snakes which they would love to touch the snakes and my sister and brother could help me take care of it when im not home.

Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was a puppy.

(Pathos) - I feel like I deserve a a puppy because ever since I was 10 I always wanted one. I even played with the neighbors dog when ever I get a chance. I just feel worst and worst every year hoping I'll get one.

(Logos) - My Parents won't let me get a puppy because they think I'm irresponsible to take care of one but I babysit my uncles dog for a week straight and I have money I'm willing to pay for the food it needs.

Quote from my uncle: "Thank you for watching my dog while I was Atlanta."

For Christmas i really wanted the new Xbox series X  but i never got one and i really deserved one!

Quote: quote from my little cousin Nathan: ''Since you watch me every night and take care of me also help me with my homework Santa should bring you the new Xbox.''(Pathos)

Hard Evidence (Logos): I didn't fail any of my classes.

Anecdote: I watch and take care of my cousin every night so don't think its to much to ask for, but right now they are very hard to find.

For Christmas, I wanted red converse, but I never got them and I think I really deserved them.

I deserve these shoes because I passed all my classes this year with good grades. I was also able to maintain the balance of student and athlete.

Also, I have an older pair of converse but, they are super dirty and I believe it's time for a new pair. These converse are ripping, have dirt, and are old. Considering these conditions, I believe it would have been fair for me to get these converse for Christmas.

Additionally, Converse are on the pretty cheap side compared to other shoe brands. For example, the average price of them are about $60, which is about half of the average shoe price. In conclusion, these shoes can last me a while and are set at a pretty reasonable price.

something I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was an pc

I believe I should've have received gift because I take out my sister, help clean around the house, and doing okay in school .

I have been asking for one for a year and I still need to keep waiting because my mom and dad want me to do good for the 1s which I did okay on and still didn't get it.

I feel like I should've have got it because I been using computer a lot, missing with them, or mod on them.

# data[].attributes.body
something i wanted but didnt get was a high visibility jacket . its a very odd thing to ask for but i will be getting a job very soon (likely pushing carts or something) and in case it gets foggy, dark, or rainy i would like to be able to put this over a sweater so i dont get hit by any cars. ive seen other people doing this and thought it was a good idea.. i was very good this year and we are actually kind of well off and i dont think these jackets are very expensive. I think i deserve it because its a very responsible thing to ask for and i do pretty good in school.

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas, I really wanted a golden doodle puppy but I never got one.

Quote (Pathos) - A quote from my current dog told me "Miranda I really want a friend, you play with me, feed me, take me for walks and all but I can't always play with you because you're not home all the time so if I had a friend I could play with him all the time!"

Hard Evidence (Logos) - I believe I deserved this gift because I always get good grade, I take care of my other pets, and I always do what my parents ask. I also take care of myself so my parents don't have to do much or worry.

Anecdote - With all my hard work and responsibility I have a lot of stress with how hard I work and having another dog would make everything soooo much better. Plus, I really deserve it.

Something that I wanted for Christmas but didn't get was a Infiniti g35 

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted this because I had good grade for  semester 1 and I didn't get in trouble in school

To be honest I should of got the car for Christmas because I not that far away of going into driver's ed class

The last thing I should of got the car because I help around the house and when I'm asked to do something and I go and do it, also I help my dad get some work done when I'm working with him

For Christmas, what I really wanted was a 12 string acoustic guitar which I didn't receive but deserved
I have been practicing and perfecting how to play songs on a guitar, but due to not having a 12 string guitar, I've only had a variety of songs I can play, due to not having a 12 string guitar.

Something I wanted for Christmas was a ps5. I wanted a ps5 so when I'm done with my school work I can do something else. I've always wanted a ps5 ever since it came out I've wanted to have it since it is one of the best consoles out right now. I know it is really expensive but I hope I can get one soon.

For Christmas I wanted a Marc Jacob bag but didn't get it...sadly

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence: Quote from my brother Tyrell: "I got you, which one you want send it to me and I'll order it" Update: He did not order it *inserts sad emoji*

I feel like I deserved it since I didn't want anything for Christmas this year anyways plus I did good in school and was told by my teacher that she recommends me to do AP next school year.

Plus he told me he'll get me one recently and last year but I still haven't got it like sir why would you hype me up for me to not get it..

Hopefully I get it this year ima manifesting it!

Ethos- I'm not the only person who thinks camo cargos are nice Kanye also does and he made one of the most popular brands today.

Pathos- I really wanted new cargos for Christmas, I could wear them next time I go out or if I wanted to take pictures with them.

Logos- Google shows that a simple act of putting on fancy clothes can boost the mundane day-to-day.

i didnt get a ps5 for christmas and i should have, ive had my ps4 for 5 years and it is on its last straw and it falling apart

something i wanted for chritmas but didn't get was a dog.

I feel like i deserve a dog because I show how responsible I am. I'd always use to take care of my uncles dog while he goes away. I get sad every christmas hoping i'll get one.

My parent's don't want to give me a puppy because they think I won't be responsible for one. I have shown them with my uncles dog but they still think i'm not ready for one. I also told them I had money and I was willing to put money in and they still said "no."

Next christmas im going to try to talk it out with them and convince them. I won't stop bugging them until I can get one.

a gift that i really wanted for Christmas was a new bike but i did not get it.

i wanted a bike since the one i currently have is really old and I'm constantly having to fix the chain and the back tire since ive been using my bike for so long.
pathos- I use my bike a lot when its nice out and my grandparents and family knows that i love to go on long rides it helps me clear my mind and also is a workout and i feel like if my bike i currently have breaks before spring a new one would help me so much.
logos- ive always used my bike to just get some type of freedom or like to just get away since i live in a pretty full house my bike has always helped me leave and just to be somewhere besides my house for a little bit.

I wanted a puppy because it helps ones mental health and brings good companionship to a human.

Another reason why I wanted a puppy for Christmas is because I've always wanted to grow up with one and now since I have so much free time I think it'd be a good idea to use that time to experience a life with a puppy.

Lastly, I wanted a puppy because its a good way to start being more responsible.

For Christmas I wanted these new pair of Jordan's.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been wanting these ever since they came out. These pair of shoes caught my eyes real quick. I have other pairs of Jordan's and just been wanting to start a bigger shoe collection of my own. I love Jordan's I been wearing Jordan's since I was little with me and my family.

When I was little I always had some type of Jordan's on and ever since I been wearing them. I'm not obsessed with Jordan's a lot. I do wear other types of shoes but Jordan's are the top of my list of all others.

I feel like I deserve these because I have been doing better in school then I ever have been. My grades from last semester wasn't bad I passed all my classes. I am on the Varsity cheerleading team which means I'm being more apart of the school and cheering on for Morton. I have not been in any type of bad trouble with anybody really.

I have changed in a lot of ways to accomplish things like this to prove to my parents, and I think i did that and deserve a new pair of shoes.

For Christmas I really hoped to get another dog since it was the only thing I asked for and didn't get. I'm not sure why my parents didn't get one because I follow all of their rules and I don't disobey them. I also keep the house clean and make sure all of my chores are done. I am also very responsible and would take very good care so there I'm not sure i didn't get a puppy knowing I very well deserve one.
Evidence from my sisters: "It would be nice to get another dog so Bella has someone to play with"

# data[].attributes.body
For Christmas i didn't ask for much nor knew what i wanted, I did ask for was more eyeliner which i didn't get.

Pathos- Ever since i started using eyeliner I always have the need to always wear it because i feel happy and it make me feel better since i look better with eyeliner. Since i use eyeliner a lot I feel weird if I don't have any on and it gives me dysmorphia if i don't use it. Even though a lot of people especially my family calls me emo, i don't put much thought into it more like take it as a compliment.

I just need and want eyeliner, that's all i asked even if people gave me money to buy whatever i want, it would have been better to buy it for me since i don't like going out but also because i told them what i wanted. Especially since i know people give money as gift i know they give it to you because they don't know what to get which i told them i only wanted eyeliner.

# data[].attributes.body
The first reason I should've got this was because I work hard in everything that I do. I do good in school and in sports, and I do everything that I need to at home.

My second reason is that it wouldn't only be for me. My whole family would have been apart of the vacation, we all would be able to enjoy it.

My last reason is that I've never been on a real vacation before. I've went to Cancun before but I was only four years old. I don't remember anything that happened, I've only seen a couple of pictures of the trip.
