Student Success Statement #27

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the bases of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the pea of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong"

                                                                                                          -John F. Kennedy

       What this quote means to me is that to have creativity and intelligence you have to have a healthy mind and body. A strong and healthy body need physical activity, which is what JFK is saying here. He says physical fitness is needed for dynamic and creative intellectual activity. JFK says that physical activity is what you need not just to have a healthy body but to be at the peak of you're intellectual activity

Student Success Statement #26

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

                                                                                                     -Joseph B. Wirthlin

       What this quote means to me is that kindness is what makes a person great. Without kindness, greatness is not achievable. If you have kindness you will have greatness. Doing and saying kind things is part of greatness. Helping people when they are hurt by saying kind things is great. Opening a door for a handicapped is doing kind things. To be great you first need to be kind. There isn't one without the other. When you have achieved kindness, that's when you have greatness.

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

       My week off I got to celebrated thanksgiving with my family. I gave thanks to what I had and the food I ate. I took care of my brother a bit my week off. I watched a movie while I was there named "The Mechanic." I played guitar so I wouldn't be rusty coming back. I mostly slept and played games this break. I got to eat a dinner with my family on thanksgiving day. I thanked that I have a family. That's all I did this week.

Student Success Statement #25

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.“

                                                                                       -Marcus Aurelius
      What this quote means to me is that if you are going to do something stupid think about it before you do it. If it is not right then don't do it. If you know about a false rumor that is not true then don't say it or don't tell others. Then if you do what is wrong something bad will happen to you. If you know something about someone that is fake don't say it. Someone will say something bad about you that isn't true. It’s like karma if you say or do something bad, something bad will happen to you.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations.

Student Success Statement #24

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

                                                                                                                -Chick Moorman

What this quote means to me is that doing the good thing and important thing make you a ctr person. A good person will never do the dishonorable. Will never do the unfair and wont choose the wrong. Doing the right is more important of the outcome of a game or a test. It is better to fail a test without cheating than pass by cheating. Same goes with a game of basketball or any situation that has winners and losers.

Student Success Statement #23

"Honesty is the best policy"

                                                                                                                  -Mark Twain

       What this quote means to me is that no policy is like honesty. Honesty will always be the best policy. Honesty prevent you from doing the wrong. If you are honest 100% of the time, you are choosing the right 100% of the time. Being honest takes guts and not all people can do it. Honesty is never lying, never committing treason and no cheating. Honesty is telling you're mom you'll get home at 7:00 and actually get there at 7:00. Dishonesty is lying and getting there at 9:00. Honesty is not only a good policy but the best.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day

What is Veterans Day:

Veterans day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars.

When is Veterans Day: November 11

Purpose:

This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans are thanked for their services to the United States on Veterans Day.

Why it’s important:

While both honor our military personnel, the former is a day to remember and pay respect to all the men and women that died serving our country in a war, while Veterans Day is to celebrate the soldiers who are still alive and served in the forces at anytime, during peace or war.

How to show honor:

• Visit a wounded veteran at the hospital.
• Offer your home repair skills to a veteran or military family.
• Volunteer your financial, legal, or career expertise.
• Deliver a meal or care packages to veterans.
• Help a veteran tell their story through a project such as the Veteran's History Project.

Reflection: I think that it is very necessary to honor veterans day. If you fought in the war you would appreciate it too. Saying thank you and honoring the veterans is the least we could do.Veterans have risked their lives to protect our freedom and we owe them.

Student Success Statement #22

• Have the courage to say no.
• Have the courage to face the truth.
• Do the right thing because it is right.

                                                                                                                        -W. Clement Stone

       What this quote means to me is that there are three keys to living life with integrity. What the first key means to me is to be courageous enough to say no when its wrong. If something is wrong and you are being pressured, have the courage to say no. What the second key means to me is to have enough courage to know what is right and what is wrong; to face the truth. If you were pressured into doing something and don't realize its wrong, have the courage to face the truth and say no. Do the right thing because it is right means to do right no matter what. If something is right, you do it. If someone has integrity they will never do wrong, they're dependable, and they will always come through.

                                                    

Student Success Statement #21

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

                                                                                                                  -Proverbs 13:20

       What this quote means to me is if you walk with the wise you'll be wise. If you walk with the fools you'll be a fool. This is important because the people around you have an impact on how you act. The people you have around you make you who you are. If you hang with the wrong people you'll get distracted from your goals. If you hang out with the wise they'll push you to complete the goals you had in life. If you hang out with the wise, you'll want to be as good and you'll start to do better towards your goals. However, if you hang out with fools you'll stoop down to their level and you'll get distracted from your studies

Vanguard vs. Gainesville

       What this video was about was a prison school that had a basketball team with no fans. With extremely good behavior, you were allowed to leave a few times a year. Vanguard tried to cancel because of that but the game still happened. Most Vanguard fans cheered for Gainesville and that surprised everyone playing and they had a good game. This proves to me that doing good is the best recreation and you can still have fun while doing it.

Student Success Statement #20

"The best recreation is to do good."

                                                                                                                 -William Penn

       What this quote means to me is that the best kind of recreation is to do good. Doing good doesn't require people to pay or anything. Doing good isn't seasonal like going to a pool or fishing. You can do good at anytime and without cost. This is why doing good is the best recreation.
