Kindness Clip

Baseball
In this clip the boy, Ian, chose to give up his souvenir for the sake of a little boy he didn't even know. In the video the boy talks about how he thought it was very important to be kind to others because it will always come back to help you. I agree with him 100%. Ever since I was young I was taught to be kind to people. I always thought that being kind is a necessity of living, because being unkind has always seemed like an unhappy life for me. This is why if I were in Ian's situation I would do exactly the same.

Student Success Statement: Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

 

When you look up the word great you get the definition something above ordinary. That is why being kind makes you great. Now a days no one pays attention to each other and most people are rude. That is why when you or someone you know is kind it's like something you've never seen before.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday that first began to be observed after the first harvest in the new world. The pilgrims went to the New World to practice their religions freely. They went all the way to what is now Massachusetts and settled in Plymouth. About have of the people on board of the Mayflower died before spring due to the outbreak of disease and the harsh weather. Later on these pilgrims were visited by the Native Americans, specifically Squanto who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery by the English. Squanto taught the pilgrims how to grow things and how to fish. With his help the pilgrims formed alliances with other Native Americans. After the first harvest the governor organized a feast. . Thanksgiving was celebrated in certain colonies and states for a two centuries before officially becoming a holiday by Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War.

Student Success Statement: Marcus Aurelius

"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it."
I agree with this statement because it can relate to any topic either modern or historical. For example when you know something is wrong, you have that gut feeling telling you not to do it, don't do it. I have had this feeling multiple times and it always keeps me out of trouble. When you know something a friend has told you or anyone in general don't spread, because then you will be the reason for a rumor spreading and it will just be messy for everyone.

Veterans Day

Veterans day is a day in the US that is celebrated in November 11 to honor those who served in the armed forces. before Veterans Day was celebrated as Veterans Day it was known as Armistice Day only made to honor those who served in World War 1. In 1945 a veteran of World War 2 had the idea idea of honoring not just those who served World War 1, but all those who served in the US Armed Forces.

Reflection: I believe that Veterans Day is very important, and not just because we get the day off of school. Veterans Day is good to help us learn about those who fought for our freedom dating back to the American Revolution. Veterans are a big part of our livers because had they not done what they had down we wouldn't be here.

Student Success Statement: Chick Moorman

"Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
I agree with this quote because it cannot be any truer. Moorman states that winning or losing doesn't make you a good or bad person. Winning is just an accomplishment while losing is a sign that you need to improve. Doing the right thing is what really makes you a hero.

Student Success Statement: Proverbs 13:20

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

I agree with this proverb because i have lived it as well as many others. I have met people who were not good influences on me and at times i wonder how i would be like if i had chosen better friends. Some people were not as lucky as me and didn't eventually figure at that those people weren't good for them, thus destroying their future.
