“Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental and spiritual well-being.”

Mr. C.S. Haymore

    I believe this quote means you are your own person, your actions have their own consequences, therefore you make your own choices. You must think for yourself and not let others think for you. You must do things for yourself because in the future its what you did for you. If you let others choose your future you will not succeed. You have your own brain and body, and nobody else controls it but you. You must always choose the right and think before you act. You must take responsibility for what you want because no one else is gonna give it to you. Take care of your body by exercising, eating right etc. Take care of your mind by thinking for yourself and not thinking negative. Take care of your spirit by allowing yourself to be free. That overall makes your well being and you having a good one, will make you a successful person. (:

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education"

Martin Luther King Jr.

        Base on this quote I believe that he is trying to say that just being smart alone wont help you achieve as many things as you can with having your intelligence plus good character. The more the merrier. Having good character can help you achieve many things. By having good character one gets to show of the manners that they have. Having good character and intelligence can help you out run some one that has one whole, but is lacking in the other one. This is very important in the long run because say three people are applying to that same job. Person one has good character. Person two has really high intelligence. But person three is so smart and has great character meaning they have both of what one and two have. Who will get the job? Obviously person three because they're the ones with high potential and they are willing to do more since it is already seen that they have more.  I believe that this quote is true and I agree with it, because having more, will give you more.

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do." 

Richard  L. Evans

      I believe that this quote means that courage will always be needed. It means that you always have to be courageous and nice. I think this because weather its right or wrong you will need the courage to stop something that isn't right and the courage to do things that are right. Examples of  using courage for the right is stopping a bully from bulling or courage to face your fears. Using your courage is always a good thing because you're speaking what you believe and you're showing what you stand for weather its using your voice, expressions etc. Being a courageous person will help you achieve what you want. We will always need the courage to do good thins and the courage to strop bad ones.  

School Break Days

   On December 19, was the day I flew out to Mexico. I went to go visit my grandma that I hadn't seen in a really long time. I went with my cousins and it was my first time. I went Michoacan. At Mexico we did a lot of cool and exciting things, we got wet, went on adventures, we went to parties. I met a lot of family that lives over there and lots of cousins I didn't know about. CTR experiences I had where when some of my older cousins would drink alcohol and I was around but no adults were, they would offer but I always chose the right and said NO. one day we decided to dive out to a little place and go to a movie theater that was there we watched a movie called “No Manches Frida” the movie was super funny and it was cool being around my cousins. It also felt  nice seeing them laugh and enjoy them self. The best part of my whole trip was that I got to spend my whole break with my grandma and away from my parents even though I kinda missed them. Eventually my vacations came to an end i flew back to LA on January 7.
