I just started this book today and I really enjoy it. This guy has a lot of compassion and obviously has a lot to say. I admire this and the reason why I enjoy this book so far is because I can relate to it. The pages are super long but I don't lose my focus. John has three kids and all of them play basketball. I am excited to hear what he has to say about this game that he loves (basketball).

In the beginning, Day and June haven't talked to each other in 8 months. This is a long time for them because they really care for one another. I think the author is representing a "break" in their relationship. Carefully, Day finally approached June and things weren't the same. Accepting the fact that they haven't talked was super hard. Awkward. That's their relationship now. It's not good and they gotta fix it.

I'm reading the third book in this series and it seems really nice to review the characters and see how they're doing. In my book, a really hard decision came up. Thomas works for the military and so does his best friend Metias. Thomas was ordered to take out Metias by his boss. This is a really good part in the book because Thomas has to get his priorities straight. What's more important, strong friendship or a job?

Jeremy and Lizzy went to Atlantic City to find a fortune teller. Once they got there, they talked to the fortune teller and she said that her grandma was a fake. That's super crazy considering that his dad lived his whole life thinking he would die when he was forty. That's not fair, people all the time think they will live forever but they don't realize they will die someday. Jeremy's dad thought that his whole life

so much. I only realize now that I'm not supposed to have a huge accomplishment. God put every single person on this earth because of one word. Love. He loves us and that's what we need to do. If we all love each other do the small acts of kindness then we are really living our lives to the fullest. Don't expect anything in return. Be yourself. Our world has many problems but we all can still love through anything.

to something great. I think that's the meaning of life for me. It's not that we all have to accomplish something great in our lives. It's not that we have to leave back this huge legacy for our kids. I feel most people misunderstand this and they don't understand until they're way older. But hey, I'm only 13 years old I have a lot of my life ahead of me. I'm glad I started reading this book because it has taught me

realize they're doing something so great when they're doing it. Like this guy named Josh Yandt. He has a really terrible pass and no teenager should've gone what he went through. Josh wasn't depressed his whole life. Every day at school, he opened the doors for everyone to come in and he greeted them with a "hello". He wasn't expecting attention from the news or anything, He was just a small act of kindness that led

I believe that God put me and everyone else on this earth to live; meaning to help others and be kind. But there's something that makes a difference from an average person and an amazing person. An amazing person doesn't expect any great award for doing kind things. They just do what they think is right and be themselves. They don't think that they're doing this for some big reward. Most of the greats don't even

A lot of things have happened; Jeremy and Lizzy met this guy named Simon Rudolph. He really put things into perspective for Jeremy. He has so many quotes that I love. One is "You can count the seeds in an apple but you can't count the apples in a seed. This honestly means so much. Like Mr.Johnson said how there's no huge accomplishment that we're suppose to have. I'm starting to realize something in my life.

Lizzy and Jeremy got in trouble, and they had to go to a small police station for breaking and entering. Now they have to work community service hours for this old guy named Mr.Oswald. He is a pawn shop owner who's moving away. Jeremy's dad and he would've gotten along very well because of their similarities. I feel like it would be really hard for Jeremy because so many things constantly remind him of his dad.
