Reflection: Would you like to be one? Why? Why not?

No, I do not think I would like to be one. The reason why is because I am not into medical careers. Although being in a medical career you earn a good salary and save peoples life by treating them, I do not think I’d enjoy this job. I would not like to be in a medical career because it is not what I am interested in. I would not like to wake up every morning and be in a career I do not enjoy and am not happy to wake up for. Therefore I don’t think I would like to be one. Although this is a great job for anyone that is interested in medical careers.

S.S.S

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

These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity." - W. Clement Stone

This quote is saying that in order to live your life with integrity you must do those 3 things. Having the courage to say no leads you to good things. If someone offers you something that you know is bad but do not have the courage to say no, then you'll also end up doing what is bad. Every bad thing you do will lead you to trouble. Having the courage to face the truth is very important as well. If you are able to confront something and say the truth, you are choosing what is right. If you decide to lie, remember that a lie is the starting point of the truth. The truth will come out no matter what and there will alway be negative consequences. Doing the right thing is a last thing that leads to good. If you do the right thing, you have nothing to worry about. If you chose to not do the right thing, everything will soon fall down. In order for no repercussions all you need is courage.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."
                                                                                                                    - Proverbs 13:20             This quote is saying that a person who choses to be with the wrong crowd will suffer the consequences. A person who choses to be with a good crowd that always chooses the right is most likely to succeed. It is really up to you and your choices of with who you want to hangout. Being with the wrong crowd is always bad. It is bad because then you will always get into trouble and you will have less chances to succeed with a bad reputation. On the other hand when you hang out with the right crowd , you are most likely to succeed. The reason for that is because your friends will as well push you to do better than you yourself might think you can. If your in the good crowd, your friends will not lead you to do bad things that they know would not benefit you future. That is why being in a good bundle of good people is better and beneficial. All you need is the courage to tell people that try and persuade you to do bad, no. In my opinion this is a great quote. My reason why is because this makes you think about what type of people you truly want to be having around yourself. This quote also makes you think if you want to succeed or just fail only because of something you wanted for a small while.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World I (November 11). Veterans Day is a time when Americans honor those who have served in the U.S. Military—a time to express gratitude to those who have made great sacrifices to preserve our freedom. The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor US veterans and victims of all wars who have died during wars. This shows respect for those who were willing to give their lives to the country and to serve their country. It is important to show honor and respect on this day because many people sacrificed their life for us and our freedom. Veterans Day is on the 11^th of November. A few ways to show honor and respect on Veterans Day are maybe to attend a Veteran’s Day Event, Hang a flag in your yard, Visit gravesite of a Veteran, Take flowers to a Veterans Memorial, and many more other things. In my opinion Veterans day is a really important holiday, just as the lives of all those soldiers who died risking their lives. I respect and appreciate these people because without them, we would not have the privilege of freedom. Without them we would not have this country

S.S.S

"The best recreation is to do good." - William Penn 

 What this quote is saying is that to do good makes you feel good about yourself. When someone does bad, that is not something they will enjoy getting repercussions about in the future. A recreation is something you feel good about and enjoy doing. Doing bad things cannot be a recreation because how can you feel good when you know what you did was bad. Doing good always bring benefits into your life, therefore at the end of the day or whenever it is, you will feel good about yourself and also have positive things come your way. Recreations can consist of swimming, playing basketball, volleyball, or maybe going out to spend time with family or something. For example, when someone decides to chose the wrong and eventually get negative consequences for their actions, they will not enjoy what they have earned for themselves. Therefore when you chose the right there is always good outcomes which make you end up doing what you enjoy or like the most, and that is what you call a recreation. Let other people do there own thing and let them chose the wrong. If you follow along with people who don't do good, you will not be doing no recreations. All you will do if you chose the wrong is get yourself into big trouble, and you will have to be responsible for the consequences. In my opinion this is a good quote, because it makes good sense, and has a good meaning to it. It is all up to you and your choices.

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
                                                                                                                            - William Penn        This quote is saying that although there could be a whole group of people doing wrong it does not mean they are right because wrong will always be wrong no matter what. Everyone could be against of what is right but that does not mean right is not right anymore. For example, let's say everyone decides to tag on school walls, that does not mean that it is the correct thing to do only because everyone is for it. Wrong is still wrong even if many people are for it. If there's only one person choosing what's right and 10 other people choosing what is wrong, the one person choosing the right is still right. It does not matter the amount on each side, because right is still right and wrong is still wrong. Don't be influenced by other people and have the courage to stand up for yourself and your decisions. All this will help you to create a good name for yourself. Sooner or later everything right you did will pay off in the future. The people who chose wrong will soon suffer the consequences and will regret ever choosing the wrong over right. Also, in order to feel good about yourself you must always keep going/choosing the right way and never look back at other people choosing the wrong.
