"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basic 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 peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."
                                                                                                     -John F. Kennedy
Reflection: I do not know what this long quote means. Mainly because it's so long and utter confusing. But from what I understand is that order to reach your highest limit of smartness is for you to be strong and healthy. In order for you to be smart is that you must have a body that can work with it's mind. Not being healthy nor strong can effect or affect your mind. 
Example: From my understanding of this quote is that without having a healthy and strong body your mind will not focus. So for example, let's say you do drugs and get into tons of random and useless fights. Your body will get injured and hurt. By being hurt your mind will tend to focus more on the pain. Instead of thinking regular thoughts your mind focuses on the pain. So therefore having a strong and healthy body can help you think faster and help you think smarter without a problem. Well that's from my understanding of this quote.
I don't know.
Savannah, GA.
I selected Savannah as a place I would like to visit. The reason I chose this place is because it is simply gorgeous. I like how it has this nature kind of look. There seems to be a lot of trees and it's something I like to see in places. It seems relaxing. Not only does it seem relaxing but it looks pretty creepy. Savannah has this park that seems to be very eye catching. The name of this park is the Forsyth Park. There also seems to be many historic museums. In a island midway from Savannah there's a water park that seems like a lot of fun. The name of the park is Summer Waves. There's also a cemetery that is known to be very beautiful and is worth seeing. The name of the cemetery is the Bonaventure Cemetery. 
                                           
                                           
Why did I select this place? I just loved how it looked like.

"Kindness is the essence of greatness"
                                                -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Reflection: What this quote is saying is that being kind is great. Doing nice things matter. Being kind also means you're great.
Example: An example of being kind is that you can help people doing their math homework. You can help your mom with anything like: helping her wash the dishes, or perhaps helping her babysit your little brother or little sister or maybe your baby cousin. You can also help someone else if they're being bullied. Helping others shows that you are indeed a kind person. And again being kind is what makes you a great person. Another way to be kind is by helping an elderly person with their grocery bags or to cross the street. You don't have to be just nice to humans, you can be nice to animals too. Just remember, being kind is what makes you great.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."
-Marcus Aurelius
Reflection: This quote is like every other quote we have been given. It repeats the same thing about being "nice" and being "the right person". You shouldn't do bad things. You shouldn't say bad things. That is all there is to this quote. 
Example: Just be good, do good things. Say good things. Be a good person. Live a good life. Don't spread rumors about another person because you dislike them, for it is "bad". Don't bully another kid because he/she is a nerd and likes math or doesn't enjoy what other's enjoy. Because it's mean, it's rude, and if you were in their position you wouldn't like that. Just be a good person by not saying anything bad or doing anything bad. Do all of this and you'll get a "great life".

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day
In November of 1621, after the Pilgrims' first corn harvest had been proven successful, Governor William had organized a feast and invited a group of Native Americans. This feast was the very first Thanksgiving and it had been for 3 days. In 1827, New York became one of the very first to celebrate this day. 
          
What am I thankful for?
My family
My dog 
My life
Having food 
Having a house
My education
My friends
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing"
                                                              -Chick Moorman
Reflection: What this quote is saying is that it doesn't matter if you win or lose all that matters is that you tried your best and didn't cheat. This quote is also saying that you should always be fair.
Example: This quote doesn't have to always relate to sports. It can relate to tests too. Let's say that you want to ace the test but you didn't even study.You see that the kid next to you seems to be doing well so you decide to copy him. So the next day you guys receive your test back and you get an A. It can be good but it just doesn't feel like it huh? You weren't being fair with yourself. It's not right to copy off of people. You can't cheat your way to life. So having that A doesn't feel like anything and it shouldn't because you did something wrong. It shouldn't matter what grade you get, as long as you try and put your effort in it.
