Kindness

"Kindness is the essence of greatness." 

By: Joseph B. Wirthlin 

What this quote means to me is that id you are kind then you will have great things come your way. I am not saying that you should be kind only because you will  receive things in return or becomes of what someone could offer you.You should be a kind person because you want to and becomes it comes from your heart to be a kind person. Being kind makes you feel great and brings you great joy to your life. Being kind should not be a task for you every day it should be something that comes naturally and that you do not even notice you are being kind. You should not expect someone to give you something in return or expect someone to acknowledged what you are doing. Being kind will bring you great things to your life not n physically but also emotionally. You should not expect to receive material things because you are k  ind. Throughout the course of your life you will be compensated for your greatness, Maybe sometimes it may take a long time for great things to come your way but they will come your way and you will be able to see and feel it when they do come your way. Being kind bring greatness with it you will feel great and be great. 

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

          This thanksgiving week I spent it with my family. My uncles came down here to Los Angeles to celebrate with us; my uncles come from Oregon, Sacramento, and Bakersfield. It had been a while since they all came down so it was nice to see them all again and have fun as a family once again. Despite the fact that there were still some family members missing we had a really good time. Most days we would go over to my aunt’s house and cook and spend time together, but we also went out shopping. I still had class on Tuesday for AP government and went out with my boyfriend on Wednesday. I went out to dinner and then went to watch the movie Frankenstein; it is honestly a great movie. On thanksgiving I helped cooked we never have turkey because we do not like turkey so we make chicken. My mom made roasted chicken I made hot wings and lemon pepper wings and helped make some desserts. We went over to my aunt’s house once again and had dinner there, we had music karaoke and of course lots of fun. Friday we all helped clean up the house and get our families belongings together as they prepared for their trip back home. Saturday was my only day to relax as to I stayed home cleaned and watched a show for the rest of the day. Sunday well yesterday I went to Disneyland for the first time in my life. It is a really magical place I got o many rides and enjoyed watching the parade, firework show, and fantasmic. I would not ask for abettor week than what I had I enjoyed having my family over and Disney was like the cherry on top of the ice cream it just made this week really incredible.

Don't do it...Don't say it

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true do not say." 

By: Marcus Aurelius 

         If you are aware that something is not right then do not risk your name and do something wrong do not do the wrong. If you know that what you are going to say is not say it, you saying something that is not true may make someone loose their trust on you forever. Do not put yourself in the position where people have to question everything you do because you did something wrong. Do not make them believe that you will always choose the wrong thing. When you are caught doing something you should have not done you will feel guilty and you might regret the wrong thing you did. The thing is, the person who caught you doing the wrong thing might never believe in you again; or they might but they will question you every now and then. If you say something that you know is not true you have no idea how you could the person you are telling this too. You might say something that could make them feel great but later on they might find out that you lied and that will make them loose all their trust in you. Lats say your friend asks you if she looks good in a dress and you told her she did but she went to this event and everyone told her she looked ugly. Your friend will no longer come to you and ask how she looks she will loose her trust  in you. If you lie about something the truth always comes out so be aware that sooner or later you will have to say the truth. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a national holiday that is celebrated not only in the United States but in other countries as well. The first thanksgiving ever celebrated was celebrated by the pilgrims in Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1621 after they survived a long winter. The colonist and Indians shared a meal or in better words shared dinner together. They shared this meal after their autumn harvest. It wasn’t until 1863 in the midst of the civil war that president Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national thanksgiving day to be held each November. Thanksgiving is celebrated by families gathering and doing their traditions. Some families go out on adventures while others stay in and cook ad have dinner together. Then the next day its Black Friday so many people go out and do their Christmas shopping. In my family we usually get together and have dinner. Family from Oregon and from up state come down to Los Angeles and we have our family dinner. 

I am thankful for:

v Family

v Health

v Friends

v Boyfriend

v Food

v Shelter

v Clothing

v Books

v Coffee

v One Direction

v Done with college applications

v Those who made a positive impact in my life this year 

Doing What is Right

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important  than winning or losing."

By: Chick Moorman 

            Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing because you will be a better person by doing the right thing. By doing the right hing you are choosing to become a better person. You are proving to yourself and to others that you are capable of being an honorable person and that you can be trustworthy. Doing what is right will make you feel great knowing that you did that test all on your own and you did not need anyones help will make you feel great. Knowing that you helped out your fellow team members or your opponents will make you feel good even if you loose the game. It is not always about winning or loosing or about passing or failing what you do in between is what counts the most. If you cheat your way through everything what are you really gaining? You are not only cheating other syou are cheating yourself from experiences that could really impact your life. You could cheat your way through every test, game, competition. etc. but you will not be proud of yourself. Maybe inn the moment you might feel on top of the world, like you are the greatest person in the world bt years from that moment you will wish you could have actually earned that prize, medal, grade. You will be wishing that you had actually earned it.

Integrity

"These are the 3 magic keys to living with integrity." 

1. Have the courage to say no
2. Have the courage to face the truth
3. Do the right thing because it  is right 

By: W. Clement Stone 

   Having the courage to say no is very important because it can keep you out of a lot of trouble. For instance if you are a good that comes to school everyday and one day your friends decide to ditch and ask you if you want to come you may say no but then peer pressure will come in. That is where you have to keep your ground and not let people change your mind on what you know is right. The people that ask you to the wrong thing those are not your friends and you should try to stay as far away as you can from those people. You should keep your integrity and not let others make you look bad. Just like having the courage to say no you must also have the courage to face the truth. If you do something that you know you did wrong on and someone confronts you for it you should have the courage to stand up for your actions. If you are caught doing wrong do not be afraid to say the truth. For example f you are caught chewing gum during class and your teacher asks you to spit it out just do it. Do not it there and try to lie to the teacher and tell them you are chewing gum, they already saw you. Sometimes when people are caught doing the wrong thing they get really defensive but they really should not. Lastly do the right thing because it is right. Do not expect to be rewarded every time you do the right thing. At the end of the day what you are doing it is only going to affect you whether you are doing the right thing or you are doing the wrong thing it is only affecting you. Do the right thing because it is right not because someone tells you to do it or because yo want to be rewarded.

I thank all those who have died while they were fighting for us. All those who have fought for our country you are heroes.

To Do Good

"The best recreation is to do good." 

By: William Penn 

The best thing you can do when you are not busy is to do something good. When you finally have a break from your busy schedule you should try doing something good for someone, the feeling of doing something nice for someone might bring  you great joy. Doing something good can make you feel great about yourself and could be a nice source of energy. If you have been having a bad day or a bad week the best way to get yourself back up on your feet is  by doing something good. Go ahead and take some time off to get yourself some energy and you make you feel great, as long as what you are doing is something good. By doing something you enjoy doing you will feel happy and full of energy. For example lets say you had a bad week so go out that weekend and treat yourself. Go out and buy yourself something  you normally would not buy. Or you could choose to stay home and do absolutely nothing one day. Doing good could mean you doing something good in your community or just doing doing something good for yourself. 

 

Always

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it: and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it." 

By William Penn 

 What this quote is saying is that something that is right will always be right no matter how people interpret it. In the other hand something that is bad will always be bad no matter what people say or how bad they try to make it seem like it is a good thing. For example if you try to give a kid an artichoke they will not eat it no matter how much sugar you put on it. The kid will not be willing to eat because they think it taste bad. Many student complain about having to wear uniform yet that is the correct thing to do.Wearing your uniform to school everyday is the right thing no matter how many students are against it. Just like the students are against wearing uniform many will try to wear regular clothes but it will be wrong no matter how many people do it. Another example could be how many people eat fast food, everyone knows that a home cooked meal is healthier but many still eat out. Just because many of us eat and we support the fast food restaurants it does not mean that it's right. Something that is right will always be right no matter who is against it and something that is wrong will always be wrong no matter how many people are for it.
