S.S.S

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influences to make popular that witch is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound" (not good)

By: Joseph Smith 

What this quote means is that we should influence people to do good things. We can show kids that many other things can make you “popular”. Like having good grades, or being funny. They don’t have to smoke weed or start fights with others. Doing stuff like that is not cool. It messes up your brain and messes up your body. Dropping your grades is not cool either. You need good grades to get into a good college. A good college gives you a good career. We should let more people know that education is important. It's better for you to have good grades and be funny than not have good grades and all you wanna do is smoke. Popular doesn't have to mean that everyone needs to know you being popular is knowing what you did and what you learned from it.

Demand for this career: Employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Job growth is projected due to increased demand for healthcare services by the growing and aging population.

Reflection: I think that I would like to be one. I would like to be one because, I like helping people and making them feel better. You get to study new things everyday, you really never finish school when you are in the medical career. That is why I choose to be a physician and surgeon.

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

By: Abraham Lincoln

What this quote is trying to state is that, no matter what you should always tell the truth. What people see in you is the trust and the honesty that you have. Especially what they look for is your character.For example,  Abraham Lincoln walked six miles just to pay a debt he had with a young lady. He was always truthful and was always responsible. No matter what he had to do or how far it was he always managed to deal with what he owed. You have to stand with people who choose the right. If some guy or girl you hang out with chooses the wrong then you could make her realize the bad things about that decision and try to make her understand what to do so she could go the right direction. Another example is who would walk six miles just to pay a debt that they have? no one would because they would think its far, but Abraham Lincoln did that he stayed truthful and did what he had to do so he would be in the right path. Always choose the right and be true and you will be a winner no matter what.

Rihanna 

Something that fascinates me the most would have to be Rihanna. Her actual name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. She’s having her anti world tour already. Her most recent album that came out was Anti. It was released on January 28. She’s coming here on May 3rd and May 4th. Rihanna is 28 years old. She was born in February 20,1988. Her career began in 2003, She was discovered in her home country, which is Barbados, by an American record producer Evan Rogers. Her first album release was in 2005 and is known for her songs “Umbrella,” Pon de Replay,” “SOS” and “Disturbia.” Her labels would be Def Jam, Roc Nation, SRP, and Westbury Road. Rihanna motivates people with her music but sometimes her music can be really depressing. Some people see her as her role model because they have never seen her break down or have any problems with anybody. She is beautiful in and out because she always makes the best out of everything she doesn't let people bring her down with the words they say. She lets other people sing in her concerts and her face expressions are just the best because she thinks that they sing so nice. She helps out a lot of kids with disabilities and she goes back stage just to see them and give them advise. Sometimes she dedicates her concerts to some kids or adults that have disabilities or if they are not okay.

"Character is higher than intellect"

By: Ralph Waldo Emerson 

This quote is correct. Being a nice person matters the most. You can be mean and smart but nobody will like you. Nobody is going to look up to you. An example of this can be Hitler. He was a smart man but had to terrible things to mankind. He had took down so many people. He was smart, but did not have a great character. So no one liked him everyone wanted him gone. This why you need to be and act like a good character because that is all people look for.
