Over the winter break I did not do much, i mostly spent it at home with my family. I did go out here and there for example i went ice skating with my sister. I also celebrated my 17th birthday so there is that. I visited L.A Zoo Lights, which was fun and interesting to see the park lit up. I did not meet any new people over the summer as i stayed for the most part at home. One movie i do remember clearly watching is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. it was a great movie and i really enjoyed it, I found it on Netflix and decided to watch after being recommended to watch the movie by several friends. I did not attend any sport events and also there were not that many sports events on television over the break. I only watched Cleveland play golden State on Christmas day. My whole break was a ctr experience i did nothing but good. One book i read over the weekend was The Awakening by Kate Chopin. There was a lot of homework left for me over the break, mainly due to my English and history class. I had about 17 different assignments to do for history, and a research paper, as well as a power point presentation on gender. Other than that i did not much over the break, but it was well spent.
“Character is Higher than Intellect” Ralph Waldo Emerson Good character is one of the most important attributes a person can possess. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a visionary during his time and he makes a good point in this quote. Other attributes such as talent and intellect are important too, but character completely overshadows them. To have good character is to show integrity, honor, discipline and other similar traits. Even if you are the smartest person, if you show no good qualities in you then it is useless. There is a very simple path to having good character. It is one that anyone can partake in. In order to have good character, one must always choose the right. Choosing the right is a way to guarantee a path to success. Also you will be liked more by those people around you and they will respect you. A great mind will only lead you so far, it takes a great soul to reach your full potential.
