We all hear a famous quote that inspires us and makes us smile. This Dumbledore quote makes me feel this way. “We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” -Albus Dumbledore. This quote means to me that we all have to accept that when we have a problem, there is a right way to do it and there is an easier way to get the problem done. This relates to me because I will usually do what is the easiest thing to do rather than solving the situation the right way. I will usually let all my homework pile up, so I won’t have to do it the day it’s assigned. Instead of letting it start to pile up, I should get it over with and not let it pile up. That’s what Dumbledore means in his quote, you have the decision to solve the problem and do what’s right. Or you can do what’s easy and get it done quicker, but not always the best way to get it done.

Somebody who I really admire is Helen Keller. I greatly admire her because even with her limitations she was able to make the best of her life. She advocated for the blind and the women’s suffrage and co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union. Even though it was hard for her she also learned how to read braille, lip read, and learned how to speak. Helen graduated from Radcliffe College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, becoming the first blind/deaf person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. All of her set backs before didn’t let that stop her, she rose to become a major 20th century humanitarian and writer. One of the overall reasons she is one of my hero’s is because she overcame her disability’s and became a powerful influence and role model for people everywhere.

My word of intention for 2024 is impact. There are a couple reasons why I want impact to be my word of intention. I feel that this word will help me to be my best self. My friends and family are what’s most important to me, and I want to be able to make them happy when they’re sad. My friends and family have an impact on my life, they will always help me if I need them. I want to have the same impact they have on me. My mom has impacted my life in many different ways. My mom is always there for me if I need someone to talk to, and I know that she will always love me no matter what. Even if it’s just a small thing that can brighten up someone’s day, I want to try to do it. I just want to focus on having a bigger impact on the friends, family, and the people around me.
