I washed my dad’s car along with my brothers and it took about 1 hour because it’s been a while since his car was cleaned and he was so happy we chose to do so.

The other day this old man my dad sometimes visit from time to time gave me this one plant that was a small evolving seed. He told me “ take care of this plant with love and it’ll grow beautifully without a doubt”. I instantly planted it the picture below is the current progress and I gave it to my grandma where I told her, “ take care of this plant with love and it’ll grow beautifully without a doubt” and now the plant is currently in her hands.

This is a photo of my older brother graduating from vista high school (2019) alongside my dad who also attends vista high school for a few months until he had to drop out to get a job in order to sustain a living from newly arriving to this country. I’m grateful that I got to see my father and brother alongside supporting each other and value their efforts that led to this day.

Taking the time to breathe fresh air and look at nature itself makes everything worthwhile. I’m so grateful for what nature had provided us with trees, a bright sun, lake, rivers, I could go on and on. This is a picture of the view I saw when I went hiking with my family.

This is my little brother, Julian, he is such a goofball and has such an amazing personality. I’m a middle child and yes sometimes having a brother is rough but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m so grateful to have him in my life and he makes the effort to bring me up when I’m down. This photo was taken way before the pandemic and he’s much older now but I love this photo of him because it shows his silly side.

"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind." This is a quote by Gandhi. I've heard this quote in a lot of songs and I had no idea that Gandhi had originally created this saying. In addition, I completely agree with this quote as revenge of any sort is never the answer.

"Peace begins with a smile.." This is a quote by Mother Teresa. I really like this quote because I agree with it. Although it's been really hard to smile at someone during the pandemic because we wear masks.

The beach is so beautiful and I’m so grateful to live in California. Though I don’t visit the beach as often as I should, it’s a beautiful place with calming waters.

I made my mom breakfast this morning and really wished I took a picture but I made scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes and tried to make french toast but sadly it failed. My mom was surprised when she woke up but glad I made her happy.

My mom was mad today and for the right reason but I wanted to make it up to her by making vanilla cupcakes. I didn’t put any frosting because she doesn’t like frosting and she loved them!

This is my grandma’s dog. His name is BonBon. I’ve never experienced owning a pet so seeing my grandma get a dog for companionship was amazing. I’m so grateful for him because he brings so much energy to the family every time I go to my Grandma’s house. I love seeing that little furball. I even try to bring him toys from time to time.

I was at the bank the other day. I held the door for a lady behind me and she held the door for two other people and it was so nice to look back at the chain of people holding the door for one another. I’ve never seen anything like that before and it definitely made me smile.

I’m grateful for my dad. He inspires me to become a better version of myself though he may have a different outlook on life that's what makes him special and one of a kind. I value the efforts he makes to push his family forward and I thank him for all he has done.
