Memorial Day

Memorial Day

1. Memorial day is the day that we in the United States celebrate to honor all of those who died fight in the military.
2. Memorial day use to be celebrated on May 30th but now it is celebrated on the last Monday of May.
3. One way to show our honor on Memorial Day is by writing a thank you letter overseas to some of the soldiers. Another way is by visiting a local veterans cemetery and showing your honor. Visit and help out in a local veteran’s hospital.

5.Some interestings about memorial day is that memorial day became a federal holiday in 1971. Nearly 620,000 soldiers died during the civil war.

6. Something i might do in memorial day is go to my uncles cemetery because he was a solider who died fighting in vietnam. So we always go visited him on memorial day, we’ve been doing it for 4 year straight.

7. I think memorial day is a great day because it’s a day that we show our support for those families who lost a loved one in war. The only thing is that i think we should have an actual day to honor the soldiers that are fighting for us today instead of just having holidays for soldiers who died already. I also like it because we get to visit my uncle every year.

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed  or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get in less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don’t have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful. Inside.

I agree with Ms. Lewis with some of these reasons, like reason 3 is just plain dumb. But i do like reason 5 because i do think that people do trust you more when you tell the truth. I also think you should always tell the truth even if you know it can hurt the other person. Reason number 6 is kinda true as well because once you lie you more than likely going to keep having to lie. Number 7 is also true because people can start notice that you lie to much. Then they’ll never want to hang out with you or even talk to you. Maybe because they think you’re just going to backstab them or you’re going to do something behind their backs. Number 8 i think is just mental and internal, if you think you’re trustworthy than you wouldn’t think like that even if you really aren’t trustworthy.

good values

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.” -Dennis Prager

I agree with Mr. Prager the best thing that someone can have is their own values because that’s what makes them unique. Also because without them we would all be the same. Everyone would be copying how everyone speaks and talks. The one thing that makes all of us unique is our values. The values that Dennis is talking about are the good habits that you have not the bad ones.

an internal phenomenon

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self-respect, dignity (Self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I can agree with Dr. Schlessinger because when you do something good you don’t always get a physical reward. Most of the time the reward you get is mental. Just like when you do something bad, it’s all mental. When you do something that you know is right, then you feel a lot better about yourself. When you doing something bad, and you’re constantly thinking about it, you feel terrible about it. By doing the right thing you gain more respect for yourself and self-esteem. For example if you made a promise to someone but you know that you’re breaking that promise. When you start to become or aware about it you start to feel bad and guilty. Dr.Schlessinger is also trying to say that the internal reward is way more valuable than the external reward. I agree with her but i also feel that you only feel guilty is you’re conscious aware about it.

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don’t chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

Reflection: I think that these four tips helped me realize that I should be looking for a job that I’m passionate about not only for the money. Also that nothing in life is just handed to you, you have to work for it and work hard. Also do things for others just like you would want them to you. Also that money really isn’t everything. By serving others and putting others before you, you invest in them. Then they’ll know that they can count on you for anything and you can count on them for anything as well. Also by working hard, and doing it all the time you’ll get better results which would make it more fun to do.  In my opinion i rather be a job that i love then in a job that i don’t like but need for the money. If you’re passionate and good at something why not pursue that path and see where it takes you. But not only for the money but because you love what you’re doing.

7. Yes I would like to break Bill Russell’s record for most championships won because to be the best you have to win. That’s what he did and that's why he’s one of the best.

the best thing you can do is the right thing

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: I agree with the former president Roosevelt, the best thing you can do is the right thing. One reason is because why would you want to do something the wrong way, if you can do it the right way the first time. Even if you know that the wrong way is easier than the right way. Eventually the right way will help you in the near future. One example can be cheating, if you decide to cheat on a test instead of doing it the right way. In the future when your teacher wants to do a review on the same thing, you won’t know what it’s about and you’ll end up failing that review. Another good example can be, something like if your friends decide to go to a movie on thursday night but you know you have a test tomorrow. The best and most productive thing you can do is stay home and study for that test. That is what this quote is trying to say, to always go with what you know is right when

Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

This quote shows how doing the wrong thing never takes you anywhere. If you’re not doing something right then you’re not gaining anything. Just like when your doing push-ups, if you barely go down when you do push-ups then you’ll see very little results happening. If you do go all the way down then you’ll start seeing improvement dramatically. Just like when you cheat on a test you never get any smart because you never studied you just decided to cheat. Every time you decide to do something the wrong way you never gain anything. You actually start to hate the fact that you cheat and don’t do it the right way. The best way to do anything is the right way, the way it’s suppose to be done. Without not shortcuts or any kind of cheating involved.

Basketball

Basketball

After not play especially not practicing basketball for 2 whole months because of my knee injury. I’m starting to practice a lot more, I’m starting to make 200 shots everyday. I’m working on my left hand skill so that i can be versatile. My free-throw is getting better and my shot is looking a lot better as well. I’ve been told by my coaches that I should change my shot because of the way I rotate my body when I shoot. They started to tell me to keep my legs and body straight when I shoot. I notice that when I do keep my legs and body straight it makes my shot slower and not as comfortable. So now i’m starting to just keep my old shot. Since then i’ve notice that my shots is becoming quicker and more proficient.

step up and do the right thing at the right time

“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” -Pam Knox

This quote is trying to show us that the best thing you can do is the right thing. Also that by making the right choice you not only make yourself proud but also others. People always remember when someone did what was right when it was needed the most. Coaches always appreciate it when people do what is right. For example if your coach tells you to run 1 hour before practice and the rest of the team decides to not run. But you still run without them, you’re the one that’s going to be more fit than everyone else and the coach will be able to tell during the games. By running your also showing the rest of the team who to follow. Just by doing what is right you’ll always get recognized by someone. It feels good when you do the right thing.

word of honor

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so think, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get Out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”  -Karl G. Maesar

Reflection: In my opinion this quote is trying to indicate that your word is stronger that your must. Only because you’re forced to do something does mean you have to do it. If you give your word and say you’re going to do something then you better make sure you do that. Karl G. Maesar shows that he was a responsible human being and if he gave you his word then he meant it. The quote also shows that if you want people to count on you then you have to show them you can be counted for. He even goes to say that stone walls can’t even hold him entitle. The only thing that can hold him entitle is his word because to him his word is everything. The way people think and feel about him is worth more than anything. He’d rather die before not being able to keep his word. That’s much he honests and respects his word and himself.
