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.

True Wealth is of the Heart, Not of the Purse Most people envision wealth as having lots of money assets and a larger income. Well this is true, true wealth comes from inside and how you are as a person. This quote is similar to that of " money cant buy happiness" as both quotes leverage your emotional power over that of money. From wealth, Pathros means how fulfill you are as a person. If you do things out of your heart you'll be rich in happiness. You will have no regrets as to what you did and you're life will be peaceful. This is what he means by wealth not actual physical money. Sure you may have lots of money and can buy anything you want but that doesn't actually mean you'll be happy. You may still be missing companionship and friendship which is a type of wealth that can only be obtained by the heart and not by money. An example in real life can be seen with families. Some families may be very well off, having excessive amounts of money. The

“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
