“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”- William Penn.

To me the first part of this quote means that you must always stand up for what’s right. Other people may not agree with you and it's okay if you stand alone. In other words if you know what’s right stand up for it , and follow your instinct. We know the difference between right and wrong and we may not always make the brightest of choices. So what i’m trying to say is that if you believe in something stand up for it even if everyone is against it. Follow your beliefs and what you think because most of the time you will be making the right choice. An example would be if you're at a party and everyone is making bad choices you either walk away or avoid facing it. Everyone may think things of you if you choose the right but don't mind them. You choose the right and feel good about. Feel good that you trusted yourself in doing the right thing and that you're the only person that actually stood up for your beliefs.

The other half of this quote goes well with the first part of the quote. It’s like a yin yang sign their is always a little good in the bad and there is always a little bad in the good. What is wrong the opposite of good...right. To me this means that don’t follow people because you don't want to be left out. In other words if everyone is doing wrong You must not follow. You must realize that not because everyone is doing it will make the things you do good. An example of this is lieing or cheating not because everyone does it will it become good. Lying and cheating are bad because they hurt people and they hurt the person that does it. So alway choose the right.

“ DON’T SACRIFICE WHAT YOU WANT MOST FOR WHAT YOU WANT NOW. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANT MOST AND SEE IT OFTEN.” Peter Vidmar

To me this means to focus on your future and on working towards your goals. In other words what this quote means to me is that you may want to do many things in life but don't seem to find enough time for it. You must not give up on your goal just because of that you have to keep aiming for it. In our everyday life we have to contribute to accomplishing this goal if we really want it. What Peter Vidmar is trying to tell us is that sometimes we must sacrifice things for the better good. Sometimes we have to stop doing the things we want to do at the moment to focus on the the things that we’ve been working so hard for. We all have control over what we do and with that being said we all have a choice. When making a decision we have to choose what’s right. Don’t give up your goals because they seem impossible, or because their are to hard to reach. Focus on what matters the most and on what you believe in. Don’t forget what your goals mean to you and remind yourself of them often.

Example: SOMETIMES  i want to watch t.v. but i have homework to do. My goal is to have straight A’s. So what i do is finish my homework and then if i have any time left i’ll watch t.v.

Homecoming

A school homecoming is a dance after a football game where couples and friends hang out to have fun. Usually there is a homecoming king and queen that are crowned that day.

History: This all started in a game of 1870. There were three people who were on a tie to making the first homecoming: Baylor, Illinois and Missouri but it wasn’t made into 1910. These homecomings had similar concepts and events like a football game, rallies, parades, speeches and school dances. The purpose of it all was to gather the students up and build school pride in them. It had become widely popular and by the 1920’s there was homecoming in all the U.S. as it was known for tradition.

Why celebrate?: In school we celebrate homecoming to unite the students so that they can make stronger friendships and gain school pride.

What is their?: In a homecoming there usually is a football game, a school dance, and spirit week. Some other school do speeches, parades, or rallies but they alway involve a football game.

Why is it called the homecoming game?: The reason that it’s called a homecoming game is because it’s the first time where the football players play at their school against their rivals.

Homecoming ettique: Buy a corsage for your date.You must dress semi-formal and have fun be with your friends and sometimes witnh your date. As courtesy dance one slow song.

Reflection: Homecoming sounds like a great idea. It’s sounds very fun and very useful. All the events and activities from homecoming sound like an adventure that some people will enjoy.

“A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life."- Mike Krzyewski

To me this means that what you turn out to be is going to reflect what you are. In other words when people hear your name they're going to think about the type of person you are and not of what you have achieved. In life people always seem to notice the things you expect them not to. So coach K’s advice is that be your best so that when people hear your name they think highly of you. It’s true how your name can be strong and it can define you in people’s mind. So what i think coach k is trying to say is that nothing in life will drag you down or bring you up than your name. Your name can have it’s disadvantages and advantages you just have to make your name stand out by doing good. If you think about it there are many people who achieve similar things in life like buying a house, going to college, and starting a business. But, the things that makes these achievements unique is the name of the person who did it. When you achieve in life your name becomes more recognized and you become known as the person that did many things. In conclusion your name can say a lot of things about you. It can even mean more than what you have achieved.

Example: many people at the mention of my name may think right away that i'm a good student. Every thing that i have achieved builds up my name and that’s why they thought that about me. So if i was just another person who has done things in life but because of some bad actions that i did recently people would talk about the past and not about the present.

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Proverbs 22:1
To me it means,that it's better to be yourself than to be rich with a bad background. i say this because where ever you go your name will follow you. You will always have your name but money comes and goes. If you decide to stick with money to represent you then when you run out of it people will remember you as the person who was rich but then went broke. If you stick with your name you dont have to worry what people will say of you because you rather choose the right then have all the riches in the world. In simpler terms be represented by your name and not by money. Your name and who you are has a greater wealth then the wealth that money can ever provide. Be you and always choose the right.
Example: I always stick toy name and it has brought me great things. I'm recognize for who i am and what i have done.

Success statement of the day

“ If your so-called friends urge you to do anything wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you have to stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.”- Thomas S. Monson

To me this is a very empowering quote that tells me if your friends are truly your friends they wouldn’t put you through any danger. In other words your friends, the people who are suppose to be there for are doing the opposite of what’s right then you did wrong in choosing them. Your friends are suppose to be an example for you,someone to look upon for advice, not someone who is doing wrong and that’s leading you through the wrong path.We sometimes miss judge people, people who look like their bad may not be and and people who look nice may not be nice. I guess that when we're making friends we don’t really think about it, and it’s ok. So what i'm trying to say

Is that if your friends aren’t helping you their not really your friends. If they’re putting you into a conundrum the only right thing to do is ebb from the situation. It may feel weird and you may be lonely but it’s better to by yourself then to have bad company, that’s a a saying i once heard.

If i were to think about i was once in a situation just  like this and i walked away from it because i have respect for myself. I don’t want to be with people who want me to do bad but those who want me to show my best.

Example: My sister has some very different friends and sometimes they would encourage her to do bad. What happen was that i encourage her to find new friends and she did. They now set an example for her.

“ A ctr champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself.” Noemi Trigueros

To me this means that if you always choose the right you’ll learn that all those right choices have made you a better person. So i think what Noemi was trying to tell us is that if you choose the right you’ll  grow as a person.In other words your personalitiy will expand and you’ll become a great person. Choosing the right is always the right thing to do and if you do it you’ll make yourself a better person. I say this because who doesn’t like a person who acts right and does the right… exactly everybody likes a person the chooses the right. So choose the right today and be a good influence on someone else.

Example:This year i committed myself to becoming a ctr person and i’m still striving towards this goal. When i actually try to be a CTR person me and my sister get along. The day goes on and everyone is happy.Why? You may think, well the reason why is because when you choose the right everyone gets along because there is no conflict going on. Choosing the right makes you a better person that influence the others to do the same.

"Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get." - Mark Victor Hansen
Everybody has goals that we like to accomplish...right. So in order to accomplish these goals we must set them for ourselves and push towards it. In other words if you want to accomplish your goal you must set your ming to it and strive for the best. what i think Mr.Hansen is trying to tell us is that all our goals can be accomplished if we set them and we work towards reaching them. It's helpful to set a goal because if you don't set it it doesn't become offical to you. Yes we all come with goal but after a while those that weren't firmly set drift away from our minds. What we must do is set our goals, think about them, plan them, and await their arrival.If we don't do such things then we may not take it as seriously and sometimes we may loose all our hopes. I like to connect this with a quote i heard before yet i don't know where it came from "what's now our goals, will later be our dreams". In other words if we don't set our goals today we may never accomplish them and may think they were all just one of  our unreachable dreams.so follow Mr. Hansen's words and set your goals so that you can accomplish them.
Example: Ihave set myself many goals before. Some goals i hardly remember what they were. Some goals slowly drifted apart and some became too hard that i lost hope. I'm trying Mr. Hansen's method and i have many goals in which i see everyday and i work towards them to accomplish them.

Christopher columbus and the columbus day/holiday

Background                                                                                                                                    Who is christopher columbus you may ask? Christopher columbus was an italian explorer who discovered the new world .Christopher columbus was born in 1451 in the republic of genoa, italy. He died at the age of 55 because of a heart attack.

Columbus day:

Columbus day is a legal holiday in most states which is to commemorate christopher columbus and the day he found the new world. This holiday is celebrated on the second monday of october. Christopher’s original landing to the new world was on october 12,1492. Most states didn’t celebrate this holiday until 1937 when it became an official holiday. Today some states still choose not to celebrate this holiday.

Why is this so important?:

Columbus wasn’t the first man to set foot on the western hemisphere but because he did was why it became very important. His great settlement opened doors to europeans for settlement in america.

Interesting facts:

Christopher columbus had set out to map the route of the western hemisphere instead he landed in what is today known as the bahamas.This is where he established his first colony. Columbus day can also be known as discovery day for some people. Not only is columbus day celebrated to commemorate columbus achievements but to celebrate their heritage. They often through parades and parties for and in honor of this cause.

Reflection: this holiday sounds pretty cool wish we could have celebrate it. I would like to have a day off to just celebrate and commemorate such an astonishing accomplishment that happen many decades ago. The only problem is that our district won’t give us the day off and where i live it’s not really celebrated in big.

"when obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irratation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block ." - James E. Faust
To me this mean that once you get use to being obediant it becomes simple to you. In other words when you are obediant it becomes like a part of you and then you get use to. You get so use to it that it's something you automaticaly do. So what i think Mr. Faust is trying to say is that to practice obedience and it will become a natural part of you. That's what he means when he says  that it won't be a stumbling block but a building block, because you can't stumble on something that your great at. so practice obedience and it will get easier to follow the rules. It may be rough to be obedient but once you get the hang of it will be a piece of cake. Don't pressure yourself in trying to be obedient from thr next day to the other. Try be doing small steps, as in following the rules one rule at a time.Remember practice makes perfect and if you try to be obedient you will become an expert on it.
In the words of James E. Faust "when obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irratation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block ." i leave you to think about it.
Example : i sometimes get irratated in being obedient but im going to try. I believe that what james is saying is true. I can prove this by remembering my cousins. They always listen to their parents and their so use to it that it's who they are now.
