"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. 

Never excuse yourself." 

By : Henry Ward Beecher 

What this quote means to me is that, if you are responsible for your actions then you will be successful in life. Never find excuses to not do something because there is always a way to do stuff that you need to do. You are responsible for yourself and no one else is responsible for you. Your responsibility depends on your future. You are always responsible for your own actions and not someone else. For example if you choose to do what other things that your friends are doing and its not a good chose then you are responsible for the negative consequences that will happen. You cannot blame others for your consequences or your actions. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Campanology Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.Throughout that first brutal winter, most of the colonists remained on board the ship, where they suffered from exposure, scurvy and outbreaks of contagious disease. Only half of the Mayflower’s original passengers and crew lived to see their first New England spring. In March, the remaining settlers moved ashore, where they received an astonishing visit from an Xenakis Indian who greeted them in English. Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto, a member of the Paulette tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the settlers forge an alliance with the Campanology, a local tribe, which would endure for more than 50 years and tragically remains one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonists and Native Americans.

S.S.S

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

By: Marcus Aurelius 

What this quote is trying to say is that if you do something that is not okay then you have to say something about it. If you hear something that you don't know whether it is true just don't talk about it. You don't always have to believe what people tell you because you do not know if it is true or not. You always have to speak with the truth. You wouldn't like it if people were to lie to you about something important. That is why you always have to be honest and not do things that you wouldn't like neither.  

S.S.S

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

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

 

By: W. Clement Stone 

What this is trying to say is that if you want to be successful and not do bad things then you have to learn how to say no. You have to learn how to say no to bad things that people offer you to do. For example if someone offers you to smoke you have to say no because smoking is bad and you have to be courageous enough to say no to them. You have to do what you think is the best for you not for others. If you don't think smoking is good then don't do it and choose what is right. Your the only one who could make decisions for themselves and that is it. No one can force you to do anything! Just say no to bad things that you don't think that are going to make your life better. You have to be brave for yourself and your future. Your future is depending on your actions and how you think. If you smoke and do all bad things you aren't going to get no where in life because you are choosing what is wrong for you. You need to do good, you need to make good decisions that you will be proud of when you think about how far you have gotten .   

Science

Health Sciences Librarian

Duties and responsibilities: A librarian is a person who chooses, obtains sorts, categorizes, circulates, and maintains various library materials. Professional health science librarians carry out similar duties by assisting students, patients, and health practitioners and providing them with guidance to find the information they need. To enter this career, you need a thorough understanding of fundamental library principles, along with practical experience in a real world setting. If this sounds interesting, keep reading this career guide to find out if this is the perfect job for you.

Salary: $45,000 - $49,000

Education: a student must graduate from high school, taking classes such as English, math, typing, and science. A four year bachelor’s degree is then required, including courses such as science and computer science. A master’s degree in library science (MLS) is mandatory. Courses include scientific literature, bio medical, communication, bibliographic resource use, library organization and management, and standard cataloging systems. While health science librarians are not required to be certified, the Medical Library Association does offer certification examinations which would help a librarian advance to a higher position.

Reflection: I would not like to be one. I wouldn’t like to be one because all you have to do is organize books. It seems fun because you get to help people but most of the time all you’re going to have to do is organize the shelf's and put the books where they belong. It seems exciting but it doesn’t catch my attention. 

S.S.S

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

Proverbs 13:20 

Reflection: What this means is that if you choose to do correct things then you will be successful and be someone in life. If you choose to be a fool and drink and do drugs you aren't choosing what is right because that doesn't give you a future, you don't get nothing out of doing drugs or alcohol. If you choose the wrong at the end of the day you are just going to be destroyed because you are not going to know what to do. Your going to be lost and get frustrated because you chose not to be wise and just make a fool out of yourself. That is why you have to choose what you think is right for you. It doesn't matter what other people think of you. You shouldn't follow other peoples steps just because they are doing it. The only steps you should be following are your own, your wise choices only not the bad ones. You want to have a future not a bad life. Don't do anything that you know that is not right and that won't get you anywhere in life. always do what you think that is best for you and only you! You are the only person who gets to decide their future and you shouldn't care what others think. The only thing that matters are your thoughts and actions.

You could do a lot of things to honor the Veterans you could say thank you, you could write letters, always remember them on those special days. We should all be thankful because they go out to war and sometimes they have to leave their families behind for years or months. Say Thank You to them if you ever see a soldier. Always be grateful with what people do for you

"The best recreation is to do good." 

By: William Penn 

What this statement is trying to explain is that you might go to do something recreational but the most important thing as that you do good for yourself and pick good choices. For example if you work hard and try your best at everything then you are making a good recreation out of yourself. But if you choose to do something that is not good then you are not making a good recreation out of yourself. Its not always about nature so you could be recreational it could also be about yourself. You are trying to make a better person or human out of yourself because you want to be successful all the time. Do good things that others could do too or they could admire. If you do a good recreation out of yourself everyone will know about it and will be proud of what you did. If you do something that is not recreational people won't like it they would hate it and would try to do something about it. Do your best for yourself and those who you love because you never know if they just want to be like you. 

S.S.S

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it." 

By: William Penn 

What this means to me is that even if everyone wants something that is forbidden its still going to be wrong because it is a rule and it can not be changed. For example if everyone wants to use their phone in class they can't because its a rule and its wrong to use your phones in class its rude because you won't even pay attention to the teacher.For example if  you say that you don't want to chew gum then its right because its a rule that everyone requires. There is always going to be rules in life and some people might not agree with it but nothing can be done because the rules are not going to change just for you and other people. If everyone is against it then nothing could happen. If people want to do something wrong and they are for it, its still going to be the same no matter what.
