Kindness

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin

A person could excel at something, but it doesn't meant that they are a great person. Being a great person means being kind to others, and always choosing the right. A person can't have greatness without kindness because this characteristic is one of the building blocks of being a well rounded person. In my eyes, being well rounded, always choosing the right, and being kind makes a person great. Being kind makes a person great because they feel good and they make others feel that way about them when they do good. However, you can also be really unskilled at doing something or several things and still be great in character. This is all through the power of kindness and the ability it gives you when applying your social skills. Kindness is what makes an individual unique in the way that they express this trait. No matter the style this trait is presented, it can only benefit society and everyone in it. Kindness is the key to greatness, and is the way to lead others to believe that notion themselves.

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week 

On this Thanksgiving week, I din't get no go out no where. Like literally no where not even outside my doorstep since i'm on house arrest. On Thanksgiving day, my family and I didn't eat turkey. (We don't like turkey.) So, instead of turkey, we made Tamales and Pozole. Thanksgiving was pretty lame. I didn't do any homework. I was packing everything up because we're moving to Long Beach in one or two days. I watched a movie called radio and had my boyfriend come over.

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

Marcus Aurelius

I think that this quote is true because why do/say something that is not right/true just so you can get into problems later. An example can be that if your friends invite you to go somewhere and you know that they are going to be doing drugs and drinking, and you know that every time that they go to a party and they tell you about they always say that the cops end up going to the house and they have to end up running away so that they don't get caught . So you know that something bad might happen so you rather just say no thanks maybe next time. Also if you say something that isn't true and you tell someone and then they tell someone and it goes on and on and it just becomes a huge problem.

Student Success Statement

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

 These are the three magic keys to living your life with integrity.
                               W.Clement Stone
                                               

I agree with the quote because integrity means adherence to moral and ethical principles soundness of moral character and honesty. In ethics, integrity is regarded by many people as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can stand in opposition to hypocrisy, in that judging with the standards of integrity involves regarding internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding within themselves apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.. A person with integrity always make the right decisions, choose the right, never lies and is honest. People that don't have integrity are bad people dishonest, always lies , that don't have a little bit of moral, that always do the wrong thing and never says no to bad things. Having integrity is to do the right thing even when no one is watching and means a lot of who you are integrity is a important part of who you are. Here is an example when i was in middle school i had friends that would just use me to copy my homework and always like to push me around, but i thought that they were like that that they weren't just using me they were actually my friends. Then people in class started asking me, why are you friends with them if all they do is use me and i would always denied it because i was afraid that it would be true, and it was so i had to learn the hard way to say no and now i finally i know how to stand up for myself and say no when i know that its not the right thing to do .

Veteran's Day

Veteran’s day

The origin of veteran’s day goes back to the end of World War l. When World War l ended it was ended with the Treaty of Versailles. However the fighting ended on the eleventh month, eleventh day and the eleventh hour. The Treaty of Versailles Was signed on June 28 of 1919 though Germany and the Allied forces had a temporary cessation of hostilities seven months prior to the signing. Every November eleventh we celebrate the ending of all wars. A few ways to honor veterans is to fly an American flag, to donate to an organization for veterans, or you can go to an event for the veterans that are near you.

William Penn

“The best recreation is to do good” William Penn

I believe this means that there is no better thing to do, than chose the right. What ever you do, reflects on you. If you chose the wrong, people are going to judge you. Other from being judged, you will have a bad reputation. To do good is the most powerful and effective way to achieve leisure and tranquility. Doing good is the best way to feel good. In other words when you do something to help your reward is the feeling of goodness. The best thing to do is to do something positive with yourself. For example, if you’re doing good in school like getting good grades, and doing homework everyday you'll be proud of yourself and see the positive impacts it going to happen.

William Penn

"Right is right, even if everybody is against it;and wrong is wrong, even if everybody is for it" William Penn

Reflection: This means that no matter what you do or people say, things are always going to be whether right, or wrong. Don't do what your friends tell you to do. You know right from wrong therefore you can't blame anyone else for your actions/behavior but yourself.
