"Kindness is the essence of greatness" - Joseph B. Wirthlin


  This quote is saying that kindness is a key factor in achieving greatness. This means that kindness is a huge factor in your life. Kindness is a guidance tool to becoming something great and becoming a person who gives back to their community. If you're not kind you'll probably lose a lot of opportunities given to you because of your rude mannerism or something relating to that. Often when you think of kindness, you think of it as a lifestyle choice, but some people are just genuinely kind to others. Kindness has to be genuine or from the heart, you'll be able to tell when someones's kindness or affection is false or without meaning. Kindness comes from deep inside you, it shows how much you will be willing to help others and give a helping hand. This is a life lesson that'll change your life dramatically if done correctly. Kindness is something that brings joy to others and to the good doer. Be a good person and be kind and respectful to others.

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving week was a good week, it held many memories that it felt nostalgic. This thanksgiving made us all feel closer and more united as family and friends. It taught us morals and values that will help us become better people in the mere future. We also learned how to truly appreciate everything we have and all the opportunities given to us. We learned how to give thanks for everything handed to us and to be grateful for everything you have. We also ate so much food. We enjoyed our week by just laying back and enjoying our leisure time. It was a relaxing week overall, we had little to no problems. We just enjoyed our time being with faimly and bonding over this holiday that is meant to bring families closer.

"If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it" - Marcus Aurelius


I agree with this statement. This is saying that if its wrong to not do it. Avoid problems and be a responsible person. Doing the right thing is always the answer, despite the circumstances. When it's all said and done, it'll be too late. Think before and be smart about it, think it through. Doing the right thing will lead to zero problems and a clean conscious.

"These are the main magic keys to living your life with integrity"

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

This quote is saying that doing the right things should be the only thing you should do. It's saying that you should have the courage to turn away drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. This is trying to show the new generation that its bad to be a follower. Be different and do your own thing and be creative. Don't fall into the same hole everyone does by turning to drugs and stacking up truancy.Say no to drugs when offered, and do the right thing. Be a leader and show others that its possible to be a independent person who has their own mind. Now in this generation, everyone is caught up on social media and spending their time conversing through text instead of face to face conversations. Everyone needs a reality check, and maybe then we will start to become aware of what the world really is. Do the right thing and just be yourself basically.

"Right is always right, even if everyone is against it;  and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it"  - William Penn

    This quote means that no matter what the situation is, you should always do the right thing. Like saying if you're at a party where everyone is smoking or drinking, it wouldn't make it right to follow their direction. This means that doing the right thing is always the way to go. Even though everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's okay for you to do it. This is saying that you shouldn't follow others, but instead become a leader. You should encourage others to do the right thing and become better people who contribute back to the community.Don't follow others, instead make the others follow you into the right direction. Right is always right so just get it over with and do it. Do the right thing and good things will arise from your good deeds. Instead of doing wrong actions, do things that'll benefit you in the long run.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it after" -Peter Vidmar


   This means that you shouldn't ruin what you want most for something that you want in that exact moment. This is saying that people usually want the easy way so they take short cuts and look for the easiest way out. This however deters them from pursuing their long term goals. Basically saying to go all the way through with your goals and don't give up on them.A example of seeing your goals through is Peter Vidmar, he said he wanted to be a Olympian and he wrote it down. He then starting working towards his goal, then a couple years later he won a gold medal. This is a true example of working hard to accomplish your goals. Do what actually makes you happy, not something that'll keep you happy for a little bit. Follow your true goals in life, not something that'll fade away and leave you trapped in an illusion.
