      I am most grateful and thankful for my parents. They sacrifice a lot to do whatever my siblings and I ask for them. They are both there for me whenever I need them. I know I can come to them at any time of day if I need them. They push me to do things I think I can't, they don't judge me, and they guide me through life. They have made my sixteen years of life very special, and I am blessed to have them.
     I am also thankful for my sister. She drives me around everywhere and does most of the things I ask. We are together at every minute of the day, even cheering. I know whenever I have problems can talk to her at any time. Her advice is very good and she can make me happy when I am upset. I am going to miss her at collage next year.
    I am also thankful for my brother Luke. We may fight a lot , but we also get along. When we get along we usually laugh for a long time. He is very mature for his age and I can tell him almost anything. I am very lucky to have him.

YOU CAN NOW CHARGE YOUR APPLE WATCH ON A FANCY MAGNETIC DOCK

• The rest of the Apple Watch owners had to settle for an undignified magnetic USB charging cable

• But now, the new Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock went on sale today on Apple's website for the relatively steep price of $79.

• Apple’s kept it simple with a white bubble-like platform with an inductive charger in the center.

      During the break, I did not do much. Mostly, I just cheered. I had double sessions every day of the break from 9 o'clock to 2 o'clock. We got a lot accomplished but I was very tired the rest of each day. The only day I didn't have practice, I had to cheer for the football game. However, we lost. I had to wake up early on every day, and didn't get to sleep in at all.
      Whenever I had spare time, I usually went to eat. I went to the  GSP mall and had food and ice cream with my friends. Also, I went to my friend Kristin's house and ordered food from Red Bowl. Lastly, I drove around with my sister and picked up some friends. In conclusion, it was not the most exciting weekend for me.
