"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.

"1. Have the courage to say no.
 2. Have the courage to face the truth.
 3. Do the right because it is right. 
 These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity"
                                                                             -W. Clement Stone
Reflection: What this quote means is that these are ways you can have integrity in your life. You have to be honest and not always lie. You have to accept the truth no matter what. And you do the right because it is the right and nothing should change that.
Example: You should follow these steps so you can be a better person. If someone asks you to go and rob something you shouldn't do that. You should say no and no matter if the guy that told you was big and scary you shouldn't be afraid to tell him no. You must be brave to face the truth. If you cheat on a test and the teacher catches you, you shouldn't try to lie to her. Instead face the truth and tell her that you did cheat and face the consequences. You should do the right because it's the right. If a boy falls down you shouldn't be laughing with others and making fun of him. You should go up to him and help him because that's the right thing to do. It doesn't matter if they tease you and call you "Miss goody goody" or "Mr. nice guy" you do what's right for you.
Actors/Actress 
Duties and Responsibilities: Actors duties are too memorize the script that they are given. If failed to read the script correctly they're asked to leave the show. Actors act the scene that they are told to act.
Salary: The lowest paid make about $8.79 a hour while high paid make about $45.39 an hour.
Education: In order to be an actor or actress you must be at least in some collage but you don't need a degree.
                       

Reflection: Would you like to be one? Yes or no?

I wouldn't want to be one because I would suck at acting but it seems like a fun thing to do.
