"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.
