"You will never regret doing the right thing"

ANON

reflection: i agree with anon because doing what's right should always be rewarding inside and out. if you help someone who truely needs it you shouldn't regret helping the person, however you should feel happy and at peace with yourself. i believe many people can learn from this quote and help them help others.

"A nation's treasure is in the people who do what's right"

-Adapted Chinese Proverb

reflection this quote is so sincere and to the point. what he is trying to say is that we dont need anything else but a nation's great unity and people who always choose the right. people who always choose the right are great examples of "treasures". A nation can not be won with people who always do wrong and make themselves look bad. therefore you should alwasy choose the right because it makes you look good and it makes the nation look good as well.

Part 3

Study: yeah, that’s right. Study. Read, review and analyze class material so you know it. This takes time, effort and a quiet place. If you learn how to study now, you’ll be way ahead before you start college.

·      Ask for help if you are having trouble. You may need to ask more than one person.

·      Have a special area for studying where you won’t be distracted.

·      Study in small “chunks” and take regular breaks. Try not to cram.

·      Have a regular study routine to make studying a habit.

·      Study with a friend or group and share information.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!!!

summary + reflection 11-1-12

Summary: this article was about 2 young men who chose the wrong. These 2 young men were from Purdue University. They chose the wrong by being at a bar at 3 am. they were too drunk and causing trouble so they were asked to leave. When they came back one of them Kelsey Barlow, was angry and made more disturbance. Kelsey Barlow was then kicked out the team and the 2^nd guy D.J Byrd was suspended.

Reflection: I believe that these 2 young men chose the wrong. If I were the main person who ran then school I would of kicked them out. Why because, what kind of person throws away all they have just for some alcohol or beer? I know better, if you’re in college and playing basketball you’re going to be successful, so that was the dumb mistake those two men did.  dropbox link

How to Succeed in School

Part 1

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get Organized:

ü                Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always  

ü                   Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

ü                   Use scribbles to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü                   Have phone numbers for classmates especially the one who will be your “Homework buddy” this is someone in your class who collect handouts and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

ü                   Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü                   Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

ü                   Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

ü                   Be prepared for each class, bring the materials for class (including pencils and papers).

"Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into palce"

Coach David Diamont

reflection:I believe that this quote is a good example of  people choosing the right. Why because, he states that taking care of yourself will help you in life. What he means is if you tell the truth and choose the right everything else will be much more calmer and peaceful, you won't have to worry about anything. However if you choose the wrong and tell lies eberything will crumble and make you look like the pathetic person you are. Therefore always choose the right. Some ways to take care of yourself would be always choosing the right, telling the truth, do what you are told, and be respectful.
