"We learn to do by doing."

"We learn to do by doing."

   What this quote is trying to say is that if you don't try anything how will you learn? You learn things by trying it out. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Don't give up after one try. Keep trying and do your best at it until you've learned how to correctly do it. People at first don't succeed when learning something new. That's why you must always keep your head high and say you can do it. If you keep negative things in mind and just think to yourself that you can't make it, then you won't learn. Practice makes perfect.

“Choose the right and get rid of all the negative things in life.”

• By the one and only: Destinee Mendez

What my quote is trying to say is why do wrongs things and live a negative life. Your life is supposed to be happy. Forget the drama and move on. Live the happy life that you want to live. Don’t let other people ruin your day because of drama that is happening. Surround yourself with people that want you to succeed in life not with people that is gonna make you do bad things. Be yourself and make right choices. Don’t change your personality because you don’t fit in with the popular kids at school. If they don’t accept you for who you are then there will always be other people out there that will. Live your life the way you want to live. Don’t let other people be in control of how to live your life. You do you and live on.

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."

This quote means that choosing the right is the key to happiness. If you do something right then you remain with the happiness inside of you. Why do wrong then stay with the guilt feeling the rest of your life. If you do good you feel good. Don't do bad and then expect to get rewarded for it. Do good, feel good and then get rewarded for the good things you do in life.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

What this quote is trying to say is that making the right decisions is how to live your life. Your life is based on the choices that you make. If you decide to make bad ones then your life is not going to be as fun as you think it might be. If you choose to make good choices then you will get somewhere in life. Everyone wants the best for you. If you go out and start stealing then they are going to be disappointed in you because they expected you to act way better. If your going to go look for a job, they wants someone who has no bad record because they won't find you responsible enough for the job.

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."

   What this quote is trying to say is that no matter what sport you are in, all that matters is you being yourself. Nothing should change the way you act towards other people. Be yourself during and after the game. Don't act mean and tough during a basketball game then after start acting nice. If you be the person that you truly are inside, nothing will go wrong.

" You cannot do wrong and feel right. It's impossible"

 

" You cannot do wrong and feel right. It's impossible"

What this quote is trying to say is that you can't get a good feeling by choosing the wrong. If you steal something from the store, you're going to feel guilty about it. You may return it or live with the guilt the rest of your life. Another reason is you should feel the opposite way. When you do right, you feel good. When you do wrong, you feel bad. It shouldn't be the other way around. If you go out and give a homeless person food or money, you're going to get that good feeling in your body. If you go and make fun of the homeless person, you're going to look like a bad person in life and that will make you feel bad. People will judge you probably for years if they see you doing something wrong and you feeling good about it. Do the right thing to feel better about yourself. Don't let your actions bring out the person you want to be in life to feel better about yourself.

" When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

      " When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad." 

   What this quote is trying to say is that every time you do something good, you get a good feeling about it. When you do something bad, then you feel guilty. No matter what it is that you do you're going to get this feeling, whether its a good feeling, a bad feeling, or a mix between both feelings. Every person is different, so some people it can be the opposite. They can feel good while doing bad things. That's how they are. They want to show people that by doing wrong, nothing will happen.

" The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

" The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

    What this quote is trying to say is that the nicer you are the more things you get to do. Good actions gets rewarded but bad actions don't. If you're going to be out stealing then you wont have the freedom that you want. You will probably spend your time behind bars if you don't get caught. Furthermore, doing right things may not get you all the freedom you want but you get some. If you do your chores and everything your supposed to do, Your mom will probably let you go out with your friends. 

9/11 Memories

9/11 Memorials

  On September 11, 2001 Osama Bin Laden workers hijacked four airplanes. He sent two of them to the world trade center in  New York, one to the pentagon just outside of Washington D.C, and the last airplane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The attackers that flew the airplanes were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations. A couple minutes after the world trade center was hit, the south tower collapsed down to the floor, creating a lot smoke and clouds filled with dust. Seconds later the north tower collapsed as well, creating more smoke and dust. My first memory of these attacks was when I was in 8th grade. The principle made an announcement on the speaker and told us to have a moment of silence for those who passed away during 9/11. I remember when i went home i asked my Tia about what happened. She gave me some information but i wanted more. I went online and looked up what happened and started watching videos and looking at pictures. I then realized what my principle was talking about. My thoughts about the 9/11 attack weren't nice. I always had questions like " Why would someone do this?" or " Why go and kill almost 400 people for revenge?" I felt pretty sad for all the parents that lost their loved ones that day.  

Obedience

"Obedience is the great test of life"

I think this quote means that you need to show respect in life. By showing respect to people, you get the same attitude back.
