This year I have changed a lot and have learned so much. So many great and new things have happened to me that I am grateful for. I've met new people and my time with people I know are becoming greater. My friend and I have a greater day with each other because we've come to a understanding of who we all are. Not only are my friendships becoming better but my art skills are as well. Ive succeeded goals I've never thought I could succeed for myself throughout this entire year. These are some things that I've always been grateful, and I have always been the one to give back from all these great things. ( Which I’m also grateful for… )

One thing that I'm really grateful for this year me still having a home and my family not falling apart. In the past financial problems were a big problem as well as getting along. However, this year the script has changed, my family is happy and content. Along with that I still have a home, I am truly grateful for this because from how my family always youst to be...this was something impossible to get.

The last major thing that I’m grateful for is the people I met and been with this year. From the amazing people I've met I know that I'm not alone. I know that there are people out there who are as kind and outgoing as me. My friends push me to become a better with my art. My teacher's push me to better with all my subjects. And my family helps me continue to push forward and succeed in life. These are all of the things I’m grateful for this year and I hope for the best there's more to come.

In today's gallery walk, I learned a good amount of things happening in our world. I learned about how Trumps decisions with the country could affect of negatively. Also how the education system is changing in small but important ways. Not only did I learn the importance of theses things but I also found the similarities and relations they have to each other. My overall thoughts on what I learned were to figure out what else is Trump changing in our schools and communities? And who else or what is being changed?

However, things I wished I learned were things about the war in Syria and all the complications in the country, Although, I am very satisfied with what I learned today in all the current events.

My overall thoughts on this year's election is that it was very much chaotic. The election has always been very straightforward to me. People vote for the president and the president runs the country for four years. Then the process repeats again and again. However, this election caught my eye when it truly started effecting the place that i live in. Also the people that i know then that's when i get pulled into the election. After living in a year of violent PEP rallies, people dieing due to having a different opinion of who becomes president. I then was truly worried about who becomes president at this point, I now was worried about how the country will react.

In the next four years the next election will be coming up. Also following that I will be able to vote. I am excited to finally be able to somewhat involved in the future of our country. I being involved in the decision of who becomes president for America truly astonishes me, and makes me feel important. However, I just hope to have great candidates for that election in the future.

I feel some issues about the election is the people who we have run in the election. Also, how they view America, because how they view America truly affects us.The people who ran for president had plans for our country, however, they weren't truly direct to us. Most of theses plans were meant to change our country to keep people outside of America away and to stop small and unnecessary things, but I digress. America isn't truly what it used to be, people are using violence and hate. Instead of our words we use our pain and rage to say our opinion, all because of the influence put on us by the election. Not saying it's the elections fault, but saying the election just fueled a raging fire. Hopefully in the distant future, in the next election we can have a more satisfying and selflessly driven outcome to our country.
