Thanksgiving Week Over the thanksgiving break i did not do much. The first two days of the break, I spent them on a trip in Lee Vining. I experience nature and the earth to its fullest extent, and it was a breathtaking experience. I did not meet anyone new over the break, besides the people on the trip, since i did not go out. One show i did watch over the break was Prison Break. I discovered the show over the break, got hooked, and heavily watched it for the remainder of the break.  I did not watch any sport events over the break as there was not much on. My whole break was CTR experience, i visited church and helped my family out. I began reading a part of a book over the weekend. In class i read a short snippet of Walden, and while i was on break i found the full version of the book and so i read the beginning part of it. I did a low of homework over the weekend, i spent most of Thursday through Sunday doing homework, filling out sheets, and reading textbooks. On Sunday I met wit

“Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing” -Chick Moorman Many people often believe that winning is everything. But that is a false misconception, as winning is not in fact everything. It is much more important in choosing the right than to win. If you win by cheating there will be no honor for you. No one is going to look up to you or like you, but instead people will being to despise you and hate you for the actions you did. Now, if you win something by working hard and striving for your best, well there is honor in that and so people will begin to respect you. Same thing with being fair, you will gain respect from other and those around you. Winning may bring happiness to you, but if you yourself know that you cheated, then  you will begin to feel guilt within yourself. There is no way that you can cheat and lie and still feel good about it afterwards. If you are taken part in an event and you work hard but still lose, you will fee

Honesty is the Best Policy Mark Twain Honesty is in fact the best policy. The reason for this being is that being honest is the best way to go. If you lie you will be hurting other people. Even if you lie to yourself, you will essentially just be hurting yourself and doing no real good. Honesty is choosing the right, and by being honest you can never go wrong as it is the right thing to do. By telling the truth you will not get caught up in lies and you will not have to remember things. Even if it means hurting another person, it always best to be honest as the other person will appreciate what you said. By just lying it make yourself better, you are not helping yourself or the other person. Being honest always makes you feel good as you are not holding back the truth. Being honest fills you with integrity. Be choosing to be dishonest, you are only hurting yourself and you will make yourself feel worse.  An example of this would be if a person is doing a project and they ask i

Veterans Day Veterans day is a public holiday that is celebrated every year on the anniversary of the end of World War 1. It is to celebrate any veterans or victims of war The holiday occurs on November 11. The purpose is to honor all of those that have serve and to show our gratitude to them It is an important holiday because Veterans are the one out there in war fighting for our freedom and our safety. It is important to thank them as they are risking their lives in order to protect ours. There are several ways, anything from saying thanks to them to writing a letter or participating in those events such as parades that honor veterans. I find it interesting how Veterans day was going to be moved to a long weekend but people were patriotic enough to make it only a single day to honor the war. I believe Veterans day is a great holiday. The meaning behind the holiday makes it even greater. Everyday hundreds of people lose their life because of war and th

Have the courage to say no Have the courage to face the truth Do the right thing because it is right. W. Clement Stone These are the 3 magic keys that Stone has spoken to us about. By following these 3 special advices, we are establishing ourselves to have integrity. What is integrity, integrity is when you live your life choosing to do the right. The first key is telling us to have the courage to say no. This key is very important as by saying no we can limit ourselves to doing bad things. If someone offers us something that we know is wrong, we can use our words and power to express that we are saying no. The second key is to have the courage to face the truth. This key has to do with honesty and how we show it. We should always be honest, even if it may affect us in a negative way. By being honest we are always choosing to do the right, as honesty is the best policy. Lastly the last quote is telling us to always choose the right. This quote is, for the most par

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. This is a very wise proverb and its statement is very true. The proverb is basically telling to watch who we hang out and who we choose our friends. Then people who we surround ourselves with have an influence as to how we are. Not only does it affect the way we are but it also affects the way other people view us. If we choose to be with people who work hard and are great and choose the right, then we ourselves will become like them. In a way they are rubbing themselves on us. Same thing goes the other way around. If we surround ourselves with people who are up to no good then we will begin doing bad and illegal things. If we surround ourselves with good people than others will begin to view us as so. People will look at our friends and judge us based on them, if they are good individuals then we will be seen good and if they are bad individuals then we will be seen as bad. In the quote wise

Vanguard Vikings versus Gainesville Tornadoes In the very short film it told the story of a basketball team which had zero support base. Now the reason why no one from their school attended and the reason why parents did not attend is because the kids were part of a juvenile detention center. The other prisoners were not able to leave the prison which meant no fans. During one of the Gainesville game they had an unsuspected surprise. When they had their match against Vanguard HIgh, Vanguard felt it was not fair that the other school had no fans or support. So what Vanguard did is that they asked their own fans to come and support the rival school and they did. They even had their own cheerleaders go on and cheer Gainesville. I think it is great what Vanguard did for this school and it is great that they were able to help them. The players left testimonies saying it was an unforgettable memory and I believe it was. It was a great act of kindness.  

“The best recreation is to do good” William Penn William Penn is right about the words he stated. Recreation is something you do to relax yourself and make you feel better. Examples of recreation could be things such as swimming or playing sports. Well what better way to make yourself feel better than by choosing to do good. There is no negative outcomes when you choose to do the right thing. So by choosing to do good as your recreational activity, you will feel better than ever before. If your recreational activity is something bad such as smoking or drugs or something to that effect, than you will feel bad. This all traces back to choosing to do the right and always opting out for the good instead of evil. Penn was a Quaker, an early religion in America, and his religion often stressed the importance of good such as banning slavery and equality for women, so it makes sense that someone like William Penn would come up with this quote. I do agree with what William Penn is sayi
