"Always do right." - Mark Twain I agree with this quote for several reasons. I agree because if everyone did what was right and what they were supposed to do the world would be a better place. There have been many times in my life where i have done the right decision and that has helped me avoid making several bad decisions. Decision making isn't always easy. It can be hard but when you think all your options through it is important you choose the one that is most right and will not get you into any trouble. I believe that when everyone finally decides to do whats right, meaning respect all people regardless of their race, sexuality, and religion, we will all be happy and will find it easy to become better people. When everyone becomes a better person, the world will be a better place. There have been several instances where i have chosen what is right, i often times don't feel good i find it very hard to get out of bed and get read to come to school. Because i al

"its better to be alone than to be in bad company" I agree with this quote because it is true. several times my mom has told me this quote, but in different words. She has told me to not worry about not having friends and that it'd be better if i just stayed out of trouble and did my own thing. I believe this quote is true because i have done what this quote is saying and it really has paid off. i now have friends and they aren't bad company. Before having friends this year i didn't have any because i stopped talking to all of them due to them being what this quote considers 'bad company'. No longer talking to them helped me find myself again and i got myself together.
During Thanksgiving break I didn't do much. I spent a lot of time with my family. My older sister, nephew, and older brother came to visit and came home from college. I went to the movie theater to watch the movie coco. On Thanksgiving morning i went to church early in the morning to donate my time and i helped set up the annual feast at my church. During the break i had to make sure i completed my book report and set up my binder for health. I loved spending time with my older siblings and my nephew. Currently, my sister is going to San Francisco State University and lives in San Francisco with my nephew. My older brother goes to UC Merced. Both of these places are very close to each other but from there to Los Angeles it is about an 8 hour drive. For Thanksgiving my mom made turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and chicken noodle soup which i love. This break as long adn i was definitely ready to come back so i could talk and hang out with my friends and boyfriend.
"Develop the attitude of gratitude." This quote is very simple. It only tells you to start being thankful. Being thankful is very important, thanking someone could boost their self confidence and help them understand their importance. I like to express how thankful i am to people that mean a lot to me. i feel like it really help them feel good when someone tells them how important they are to them. I like when people tell me they are thankful for something i did. I usually get thanked for things i didn't notice i did. I agree with this quote because in order to be a good person you have to be kind to others and respect them. Saying things like thank you are very good manners to have and if someone doesn't have it them i believe they should develop them at some point.
Three questions: - Can people trust me to do the right thing? - Am i committed to doing my very best? - 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." - Lou Holtz I disagree with this quote because it isn't true. Sometimes we strive for goals that are unattainable, for whatever reason we just can't accomplish them and end up failing. God has a plan for all of us but that doesn't mean that the plan we want for ourselves is the same one he has for us. His plan for us, is inevitable, no matter how hard we try to strive for something if he doesn't have that planned for us, it won't happen. I believe that our goals are just things we want to accomplish, we can strive to accomplish them and some of us do accomplish them but these three questions play no role in it. Everyone is going to fail at least once in their lives. If you can answer yes to most of these questions than
"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. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when he body is healthy and strong." - President John F. Kennedy I disagree with this quote. i disagree with this because i have met and seen several people that are very intelligent yet they don't participate in physical activity. I, personally, don't exercise because my body gets tired very fast. I have participated in a sport for several years of my life, yet i have always gotten tired. This quote basically says if you get tired and weak from physical activity then your mind is weak and unable to work to its full capacity. I strongly disagree because the same way i have met people that don't exercise often and are very intelligent, i have also met people that exercise yet aren't very smart. At some point this quote is true but for several peo
"Kindness is the essence of greatness." This quote is important. It is important because greatness comes from several things and one of them is kindness. I remember when i was smaller, i would always try and be polite. I would thank everyone that did something kind and that led to me being kind. Being kind is one of the most important things to be. It is important because your kindness will affect the way people see you and more importantly how you make people feel. During times like these, there needs to be more kindness in the world, For example, today there are racist, homophobic, and other people that discriminate against other people. People are getting mad and disrespecting people that exercise their amendments like freedom of speech. Freedom of speech isn't an excuse to say derogatory things, freedom of speech is being able to disagree with something without people calling them bad people. Kindness is important because it reflects of the way people think of y
