World War II

Throughout the years from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945 there was related conflicts that cause a global war. World War II was fought between two groups of  countries. One side there were the Axis powers who included Germany, Italy, and Japan. On the other side were the Allies. They included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States of America. Events of World War II took place across the globe. Most of the action took place in Europe, East Asia, and islands in the Pacific Ocean. One of the major events that occurred during World War II is when Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939. To honor and show respect  for the World War II veterans we can spread the word about how much good they did. You also shouldn’t do the Natzi sign.

Challenges teens Face Today

Some of the challenges teens face today is frustration in school. Maybe they go through bullying in school. Maybe they choose to follow the wrong side instead of doing what is right. I just so happen to be going through frustration in school. The fact that final grades are almost due makes me nervous and feel rushed. I’m trying my best to keep up with all of my work and concentrate. Being a CTR person helps me get better grades. I can help other people overcome their challenges by telling them to CTR.

Kindness

“Kindness is the essence of greatness.” This was a quote said by Joseph B Wirthlin. This statement means that doing the right thing is you being a good person. You doing good deeds leads you to success. Being kind, responsible, honest, respectful, loyal are all an essence of greatness. For instance an essence of kindness that has came from me is volunteering at a place to give food to the homeless. Sometimes I don’t even volunteer. My mom and I will sometimes buy food, snacks and water to give out ourselves. I have also taken care of my grandmother when she had surgery and my mom was off to work. It was during summer and I would go over her house to help her clean, cook her some soup and do as much as I possibly could. These are the things that give an essence of greatness.

Thanksgiving Week

Last week for Thanksgiving break I joined my aunt to go see her daughter’s soccer game. Unfortunatley the other team canceled and I never got to see her play. The day after I went  shopping to the market to buy groceries for Thanksgiving dinner. When we got home my mom started cooking the food with the help of my aunt and my grandmother. I reunited with the rest of my family. For instance, my cousins, my uncles, aunt, and grandparents. We all sat at our dining table as a big family, gave thanks for all that we have, and ate delicious food. We had ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, pie, etc. We then played a few games all together. I watched a movies with my brothers and cousin while the adults talked in the living room. Then we didn’t go to sleep until two in the morning. The next day we woke up exhausted and didn’t feel like doing much. So we layed in bed all day with our blankets watching movies and it fit perfect with the cold weather. Then I catched up on all of  my homework. During the night i went out to the park and ran a few miles. That was pretty much the overall story of my Thanksgiving break.

Don't do it Don't say it

"If it is not right, do not do it; If it is not true, don't say it.'' This quote was stated by Marcus Aurelius. I agree with this quote because you doing what is not right can get you into trouble. Or saying what is not true will have fatal reprecusions. This statement is informing you not to do something that you later on regret. Or don't do something that you know is wrong but is popular. Don't lie to someone because you don't know what to say. For example, if a group of friends are going to ditch school and they ask you to join, you should not accept because it isn't the right thing to do. If they ask you, you shouldn't even have friends like that. Or if there are rumors spreading around in school about your friend and you know it is not true and if she asks you, you shouldn't continue the rumors, you should stop them.

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies..It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that president Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day on November. For more than two centuries, days of Thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. Thanksgiving is the time to be with your family and appreciate the things you have.

Personally I am thankful for many things. Sometimes it may not seem like it but I appreciate everything I have. One of the many things I am thankful for is having good health. I may not be the ‘’healthiest’’ person but I have good health. I’m also thankful for having the best family. My family sometimes manages to get me what I want, but always makes sure I have what I need. I’m thankful for having a roof over my head. I’m thankful for having another plate with food on my table. I’m also thankful for having supportive, funny, encouraging, loving friends by my side.

Student Success Statement

“Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing.’’ This statement was stated by Chick Moorman. I agree with the quote Chick Moorman said. Doing what is right is being honest, respectful, loyal, responsible etc. When you choose the right you will feel great instead of feeling lousy when you lie or are disrespectful. For instance, if you cheat on a test from a honest hardworking student, having the exact same answers your teacher will eventually find out. Let’s assume she ask both of you if you cheated. You respond with the answer of no when you obviously did, and you get away with it. It is better getting a zero on the test than feeling like a cheater and having that thought in your conscience. If you are honest you will mentally win. If you lied but received a high score, you lose.
