She picked up a different photo from the nightstand and handed it to me to look at. At first, I thought it was just another copy of the class picture, because it was exactly the same size as the class picture Dad had in his hands, and everything in it was exactly the same. I started to look away in disgust, but Mom pointed to a place on the photo – the place where Auggie used to be! He was nowhere in the photo.
She looked up. “Oh, right,” she said, nodding. I think she hadn’t expected the conversation about Daisy to be over so quickly. But I didn’t want to talk about it anymore.
It was black and furry, with a pointy little snout and bright black eyes and small ears that flopped down.
Fala agora, ou cala-te para sempre.
For a second, I imagined how cool it would be to be Via and Justin right then, having all these people standing up and cheering for them. I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives.
I was going to like school.
What about: How to make crystal spikes out of Epsom salt?

Your acts are your monuments.
MAY Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as you ever can. – John Wesley’s Rule.
Or, what does a poor man have, a rich man need, and you would die if you ate it?
Being nice is the first step toward being kind.
No one has to be mean. Ever.
Have no friends not equal to yourself!
It’s the shingaling, baby!
We can’t change the way we look, but we can change the way we see.
So what I always say is that it’s always better to err on the side of kindness. That’s the secret. If you don’t know what to do, just be kind.
If you want to be a star, you have to be willing to work harder than everyone else to achieve your goals and dreams ! The way I see it, a dream is like a drawing in your head that comes to life. You have to imagine it first. Then you have to work extremely hard to make it come true.
