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

This quote means that kindness is greatness. If you are kind then you are great. Being kind is when you are nice to everyone. Kindness is when you treat everyone with respect. Kindness is when you are willing to help when someone needs help. If you are a great person then you are kind. Being kind is a great characteristic to have. Many people lack kindness. An example of kindness would be volunteering to help at a children's hospital you are doing it by heart because you want to. You wont get payed. Another example of kindness would be being there for a friend in good and bad times. Sticking by there side no matter what. Having their back and being loyal and honest with them. A CTR person is always kind.

                             Thanksgiving Week

On thanksgiving week I had many stuff going on. I had a soccer game with this school vs. Southgate and we the varsity team tied 3-3. The JV girls lost I don't remember by how much. I still had practice the next day and Wednesday we got the rest of the week off. I had a lot of hw to do. I had to finish a book for English called '"Night". For PBS I had to organize my notebook. For health I had to do a pamphlet about infectious diseases. On thanksgiving my mum made posole which was very good. My whole family came over and each brought something. It was really fun because we got to spend time as a family and we got to eat a lot . On Saturday I went to a carne asada with my friends and we had a lot of fun.

"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." ~Marcus Aurelius

This quote means that if something is wrong don't do it. Even if you are pressured do not do it. Stand up for yourself and do what you truly want to do and what you know that is best. Stand up for yourself even if you are the only one doing so. If you do something that is not right then you are going to regret it later. It might affect your life majorly. This quote also means that if something is false don't say it. If you do say it you will be a liar. You have to be honest and say the truth. The truth can hurt sometimes but it is better if they hurt you with the truth than comfort you with a lie. For example, if you want to cheat do not do it because it is not right. Another example would be if you say you are going to study to your friends house but instead you are going to a party say the truth because if something bad happened to you no one is going to be able to find you because they will be searching for you at the movies.

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

    This quote basically means that doing what is right is more important than winning or losing the game. It doesn't matter if you win or lose what matters is that you played by the rules and you obeyed them. If you lose the game but you followed all rules and showed good sportsmanship then you should be proud. Not everyone can show good sportsmanship. Some players are too bombastic. If you win a game but you cheated and you showed bad sportsmanship then you should be disappointed in yourself. You did not deserve to win. The other team deserved to win. The score of the game is just a number. What matters most is how fair you played. 

1. Have the courage to say no.

2. Have the courage to face the truth.

3. Do the right thing.

These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity."

~ W. Clement Stone

      This quote is telling you the 3 keys to live your life with integrity. If you want to live your life the right way then you got to follow these steps. By following these steps you will live a life with honesty, trust, respect, etc.. The kind of lifestyle you have is up to you. Your decisions will affect if you have a good life or a bad one. For example if you have the courage to say no then that's a really good feature to have because if you cant say no you will fall in the bad path. You will get influenced to CTW. You will get peer pressured to do stuff you don't want to do. People will take advantage of you. You have to stand up for yourself and do what is right. You also  have to have courage to face the truth. Its better if they hurt you with a lie than comfort you with the truth.

          Veterans Day is formerly known as Armistice Day. It was originally set as a U.S legal holiday to honor the end of World War I. It officially took place November 11, 1918. It is important to show honor on Veterans Day because it shows respect for those who were willing to risk their lives to serve our country.
