Bad Company

" It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."

By: Unknown 

What this quote means to me i that if you are going to be surrounding yourself with bad people it is better for you to just be alone. You do not need to have people made you feel or look like a bad person. Some people only hang out with bad crowds because they want to be in on the fun. They feel like if they are with the "cool" kids then they will always be having a good time. In reality my view on this is that you could have fun with those people for a while but afterwards you are just going to be hurting. For example if you got to a party with bad company they will most likely drink and they wont care your "friends" will be doing their own thing and they will not be looking after you. You could possibly get hurt or get into trouble and your that bad company will not be there to bail you or or to help you wnet you need them. In that case i would honestly rather stay at home and watch television on my own all day. I would be at home where no harm could be done to me or where i could not get in any trouble i would be watching a movie and enjoying my night. You do not have to go out and surround yourself with bad people to have a good time. There are many other ways to have a good time and being safe. Being in bad company will only hurt you in the end not only physically but emotionally as well. I understand that being young makes you choose the wrong things sometimes but you have to honestly suit yourself down ad ask yourself what is making you happy what is going to make you succeed in life. I do not think that hanging out with bad influences will help you land a job in your dream career. 

Fear

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear." 

By: Evan Stephens 

What this quote means to me is that if you do what is expected from you should not be afraid to get punished for any wrong doing. If you do as your parents tells you then there is no reason why you should fear getting any type of lecture or punishment. For example if your parents ask you to get good grades at school and you try your very best than there is no reason why you should be afraid when your grades arrive home. Another example would be if your parents let yo stay home alone for a weekend and you do not have people over and you do what is expected from you then you should not be anxious or scared for your parents to get home.If you are not involved in any activities that you are not supposed to be involved with then you should not fear. When you do whatis right then that also helps you become a good person and people will see you as a trustworthy person. When you do what is right then there are no possible bad outcomes the only outcome that you will get is a good one. 

The 3 Questions

1. Can people trust me to do what's right?2. Am I committed to doing my very best?3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

"If the answer to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail."

By: Lou Holtz 

What these questions are asking is what is required to be a good person. If you have these qualities then there is no way you can possibly fail. If you are trustworthy, you try your very best, and you treat others the way you want to be treated then you are set for life. You will have a great experience in life and you will not fail. Well of course you might fail in some projects or experience some kind of failure, bu then you would know you have someone to be there for you. Since you were ducha good person people would want to help you out on your bad days. Being trustworthy is one of the best feelings you can experience. When someone is able to leave you in charge of a very important project or task and you complete the task as they asked you to this is only helping you out. Later on in life if they need someone they will come top you first and you will feel great about it. If you are committed to doing your very best then there is definitely no way you will fail. You are trying your hardest and giving something your best so that requires for your outcome to be great. Finally if you treat other the way you want to be treated then you should be happy. WHatever you give you get back, if you treat someone with respect then they will treat you with respect. If you treat someone like they are unwanted or unimportant it might slide but at the end of the day you will get this returned to you somehow. 

Physical Fitness

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity, The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

By: President John F. Kennedy 

What this quote means is that if your body is not healthy or strong then you are unable to function at your best. For example if your are sick or you had a long night and you have to go to school the next morning you will not function properly because you are not healthy and strong. When you have a fever you do not want to get out of bed to get yourself something to eat or to get medecine. When your whole body aches and you have a some assignments due your next class meeting you feel even worse. Your body is not in a good state and that makes your mind be in bad state as well. There has been many times where i do not feel good and i still have to come to school. On those days I do not perform well in any of my classes no matter how hard I try. Half of the time I am thinking about how bad I feel and I would much rather be at home in my bed. I am not a person that gives up easily but when I am sick it makes my mind weak as well. I begin to give up on the easiest task. Being physically weak makes you mentally weak as well. Having your body function well makes everything else work well as well.

 Paris

Many people always say that Paris is the place they would like to visit when they are first asked where they would like to travel. I myself am part of those people; Paris has always been a place that intrigues me. Being a hopeless romantic makes me want to visit the city even more. Paris, France's capital is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. I would like to go visit the Eiffel tower and would have liked to visit the bridge of love. The Eiffel tower was built as a monument for the 100-year anniversary of the French revolution. The tower was built by Gustave Eiffel’s company, the idea was brought up by Maurice Koechlin one of Eiffel’s employees.  The building took 2 years and it was inaugurated on March 1889, it stood 1,000 feet high making it the highest structure in the world. The bridge of love was a bridge where many lovers would go and attach a lock to the bridge as a symbol of their love. This bridge was recently taken down because of the weight. The locks weight approximately 45 tons and they were messing up the structure of the bridge. The bridge was fist built in the early 1800’s and rebuilt in the 1980’s. Paris is a beautiful city and it was many great places to visit, I would like to drink coffee in one of their cafes and go shopping in their very famous boutiques.

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.
