It's not siblings day. It's not my brother's birthday. It's not some special time to thank him for all he's taught me. But I'm gonna do it anyway. I was sitting around, brainstorming what to write next for the Odyssey, and this idea popped into my head. So thanks for being a cool thing that I can write about Carson, and thanks for all that you've taught me so far!

My Older Brother has taught me that

4. Being busy doesn't have to be a bad thing

5.The Dark Night Trilogy rocks

6. And so does the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

7. Writing can do wonders for the mind and soul

8. Question things: don't accept them at face value

9. Disciplining yourself is hard but also essential for success

10. Managing money is no joke

11. Traveling and exploring more of the world opens your eyes

12. Try new things

13. Push yourself and you will get far

14. Always try to make a good impression

15. Impress your teachers, earn their respect

16. I'm never going to beat him at video games

17. Or Monopoly

18. Read. Read to expand your mind, your vocabulary, and your perception of the world

19. Blasting music in the car is fun

20. Be open to change in your life. Change is good, and can even be great if you're willing to accept it

Thanks bro, you're alright I guess.
