"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Kindness is what makes up of a great human. Be kind and people will think great of you they won't think of you as a horrible person. Be obedient when people ask you to do something. For example, if you are the kind of person who is always being rude to others then you going to want to change your personality into being nice. And if you are nice then you are choosing the right. 

Thanksgiving Week

It was a great week with joy, laughter, and families gathered. I spended my week doing projects and essays and finished by wednesday. And on thursday and Friday I had already finished with my projects. On thursday I celebrated it with my family by watching movies such as elf and home alone. Later that evening we waited for the turkey to be cooked and we ate dinner and we gave thanks. After we ate dinner we headed out to black friday at the mall and we bought lots of clothing and electronics. A CTR experience was when an elder wanted to get a television and I got the last one so instead I gave up the television and gave it to him. A book I read was Night and it was about the holocaust. I met family members that live in San Francisco and we spend the thanksgiving with them. On Friday we got some rest and later head to the mall again to go and see if there are better deals than last night.

“Manner maketh man”

                                 ~ William Wykeham

There was this man that everyone loved. Because of the manners he had. When someone needed help he was always there. But, there was always that one negative person that goes against him which resulted to be his older brother. When he ate dinner at the table he always had manners. But his other brother didn't he was always rude and sometimes he decides to eat alone at the table. And when he goes to school he is always helpful. Especially on the first day of school he helps new students find their classes. But his older brother did not have any type of manners he was always rude to everyone. Therefore no one liked him. But one day he was having such a good day that he decided to have manners and everyone was shocked. So, every since he started to have manners he just went with it and he was just as good as the other brother.

 “If it is not right, do not do it; if it’s not true don’t say it”

Never do the wrong thing because when you do then no one would trust you no more. If your heart tells you it's not right then why even bother to do it. And if you hear rumors about someone or something then don’t be a part of the problem. For example, there’s a lady that can’t reach for a box of cereal you don’t just laugh at her because it would be the wrong thing to do. But the right thing to do is to help her get what she needs. Another example is there is a kid that can not talk english correctly and you hear others talking about him you don’t just stand there looking at them bulling him but you stand up for him. And those who do bully him then they are not doing the right thing.

Thanksgiving,

Every 4 Thursday in November, celebrated in Canada and the united states of america. Americans gather for a day of giving thanks and feasting. Everyone celebrates it differently based on religion. It is important to Americans because it celebrates the time when the pilgrims shared food and kindness with the native Americans rather than fighting. The first thanksgiving ever hosted was in the year 1621. The holiday thanksgiving was not a national holiday till the 19th century. My family and I always celebrate thanksgiving and we are thankful for so many things. First and foremost and thankful for me being health, having a free education, my friends, family.I am also thankful for all the materials I have, for the meals my parents provide for me. I am thankful for the house I live in also.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or loosing." ~ Chick Mooran

This statement is very true because if you play fair then you would win fair because you are going by the rules. For example, if you at a golfing game and your opponent is cheating and you are following the rules then you shouldn't feel bad because you played by the rules. But, you shouldn't feel sad because if the people that are watching the game sees that he was cheating then you automatically win. Because you choose the right and did not cheat. Just because the guy cheated doesn't mean you have to cheat also. The key is that you are more competitive by following the rules. And people honor you for being honest and playing fair. And who knows they might have a reward for the person who follows the rules.

Veterans Day,

Veterans is a national holiday celebrated in the United States of America. Veterans day is a day celebrated for the end of World War 1. Honer the U.S. veterans and victims of all wars.  Veterans day is celebrated each year on November 11. It is important to show honor to our veterans because it is a way to show acknowledging the sacrifices the did to serve our country. Without their help most Americans wouldn't have the freedom they have right now. Some ways that we can show honer to our veterans is to save a prayer to the ones serving now, write in a journal how thankful you are for having veterans serving, and volunteer to help a veterans service organization. The purpose of Veterans day is to celebrate and be thankful for their service. And also attend veterans day parades. Also, watch a patriotic movie with family members or even invite some friends over and host a party celebrating our veterans. I am very thankful for the veterans because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here right now. And thanks to them everybody has freedom rights.

1. Have the courage to say no.

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

This statement is pretty easy to understand because it tells us how to live life in a peaceful way. First off by having the courage to say no. For example when someone offers your a cigarette say no. Secondly, always tell the truth no matter what. Suffer the consequences and think again before doing something bad. For example if you do something bad you won't think about the future and you won't think twice but then when you get caught then you will have to go though the consequences. And last but not least do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" 

This quote is trying to tell us that we choose who we want to be. Either we want to be with the people who are the ones who are good play sports. Or the ones who always choose the wrong by staying up passed their curfew. For example, if you hang out with your so called friends and you fail each class or do something bad then they will not back you up because they do not want to get in trouble. And if you don't like that then hangout with the good people. The good people who study with others who play sports and who absolutely don't judge others or bully no one. 

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

 

This quote is trying us that recreation is not only an activity but it is recreating yourself. Recreating our soul. But, the best way to recreate yourself is by choosing the right. For example if you come home tired or exhausted from work or school. That means that you recreated yourself. Or you can recreate yourself by doing what you love.
