Me Myself and I

   My name is Prab Dhillon and I was born on September 18 1995. I have lived in Penticton all my life but my parents just came to Canada a year before I was born to start a new life. No one in my household was fully fluent in English so I had a hard time learning how to speak English till I got to Kindergarten. My next years plans are to attend Okanagan College and do my 1st year for my Business of Bachelors Degree at the Penticton Campus. After I get my 4 year degree I want to go into banking. I'll probably be majoring in finance or marketing. I enjoy going to the gym after school and I am an assistant coach for a young soccer team. I dont watch TV very often but my life is consumed by netflix every night. My favorite shows are Dexter, Community and Prison Break. I have never owned a pet before because I'm not very big on animals. I don't hate pets, its just that having them is a big responsibility and I just don't have the time to look after one. If I were to get a pet it would definitely be a dog. Either a rottweiler or German shepherd. I only have one sibling who is a younger sister. We don't get along very well so I hardly talk to her. I am stoked to graduate and experience the real world next year!

Shattered

  Ian is the main character of the book and also my favorite character. We learn a lot about Ian through his actions and how he views the world. Even though he is very rich and wealthy, he isn't selfish like you would think. He cares about other people and their needs like when he didn't want to eat at the soup kitchen he volunteers at in case there isn’t enough food for everyone. Ian looks up to Mac who is the person that runs the soup kitchen. I would definitely invite Ian over for dinner because he has interesting story's to tell from his rounds on the streets with Mac and he has picked up on some tips on how to prepare food so he could lend a hand in the kitchen. One of my favorite characters in this book is Sarge. Sarge is a homeless man who Ian meets that becomes friends with Ian. Unlike the other homeless people, Sarge doesn't try to take advantage of Ian's kindness. He protects Ian from harm and cares about his safety which is why I like him. There isn't much said about Ian's parents. Only his nanny is someone who is frequently present in the story. I really enjoyed this book because it really gets you connected with the characters. You get to know them like a friend. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
