“Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Geeks knew: That intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”-President John F. Kennedy  


It is important to take care of yourself. You'll feel better if you do. When you're sick or when you have a headache, you can't concentrate. You don't feel like doing anything. Now imagine feeling that for a real long time just because you didn't take care of yourself. It would be terrible wouldn't it? That's why you have to take precautions and take care of yourself. If you don't im sure many thing will change. You grade will go done, you'll be frustrated, you'll feel pressured and many more things that aren't good. You can start making a change to your life if you don't want this. Eat healthy; vegetables,fruit, grain and etc. Stop eating so much fast food or junk food, it can make you sick. Junk food and/or fast food can make you gain weight, that's not good. So if you do feel like you are overweight you should exercise. Even if you're not overweight you should still exercise, its good for you. Start making changes to your lifestyle, changes that will benefit you.

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."
-Joseph B. Wirthlin 

If you're kind to others, you're already a great person. Being polite and having manners shows that you are an amazing person. Being respectful to others and to yourself is very important. This shows who you truly are as a person. Doing random acts of kindness also makes you a good person. I'm going to give you an example of kindness. My friend brandon went to the store a few weeks ago and he saw a lady with her daughter, they were selling flowers outside the store. The flowers were a dollar. The lady tells him that she is trying to raise money to buy her daughter a wig, she had been diagnosed with cancer. The wig costs about $250 and she couldn't afford it. Brandon gave the lady $320, they were so happy. The little girl started crying of joy but the mother didn't want to accept that much money from him. He finally convinced her to accept it. It's so easy to be kind and to give if you're not selfish. People get so happy when they receive the help they need or when someone randomly compliments them. Little things make people very happy and if you don't do this how do you expect people to do it to you? You actually should never expect anything in return but a smile. Maybe ask them to pay it forward but never pay it back to you. If you want something in return, you won't succeed in this aspect. You'll only succeed if you do it to be kind and a great person to others.

Thanksgiving week 
I spent most of my thanksgiving break at home sleeping or doing nothing. I really needed a break. During this week I went to the mall this week with some of my friends from band. We ate and we walked around then we we went to buy donuts. I didn't meet anyone new, like i said i spent my time inside doing nothing and when i do go out i don't pay attention to people. I spent some of my time practicing my music, i'm going to be in a parade on friday. I didn't have much homework, i just had homework for english and health. So i did that. I also spent time with my family. On thanksgiving i went to my grandmas house and we went back for her birthday two days later. I don't really go out during breaks, sometimes i do but usually i don't because i like spending time with my family or by myself. It's been a busy semester and i actually needed to rest and do nothing for a whole week. Sadly i came back to school very tired.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
-Chick Moorman 
Image result for right and wrong
You can win or lose but that doesn't make something right. Winning and/or losing doesn't matter. If something is wrong it's wrong, if something is right its right. Getting treated fair with respect and honor is way more important than being a champion. For example Donald Trump won the election but that doesn't make it right for him to be a racist person. He's supposed to be a leader, a role model and look at what our generation is dealing with. He’s discriminating people of different races. He's putting labels on them like they were objects. Hes calling them bad people just because a small portion of that race did something bad. It's not fair that all of them have to deal with this, they did not do anything to deserve this. He wants respect and honor but how can you receive such thing if you yourself don't do the same to your people? And don't say these are not your people because once you became president all these people from different races become your people, even if you don't want them to be, even if we don't want to. At the moment this is the situation and sadly we have to deal with this. I went off topic but my point is choosing and doing the right, being fair and honorable is way more important than winning.

“Honesty is the best Policy”
-Mark Twain
Being honest is always the best thing to do. Nobody likes liars. Lying will get you nowhere. If you do lie people will find out sooner or later. Lying is like cheating. You can lie and cheat your way all through high school and college but at the end of the day you're just playing yourself. Its like you were going around in circles and then you came to a stop and guess what? You hit your Initial spot, you're in the same spot you started. If you cheated your way through both high school and college, you can harm yourself and others. That is not good. Choose the right. Make the right choice. When i lie i feel horrible about it. I don't like to lie to myself and other people. Even if it's to protect them and their feelings. I try to be as honest as i can. I always choose the right.
Veterans Day is a celebration to honor veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Veterans Day is always on November 11 regardless what day it falls on.
This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans are thanked for their services to the United States on Veterans Day.
It is important to show honor on veterans day because it shows respect to those that went to war to protect us. We didn't go to war and see such horrible things, they did. Those men and women fought for our freedom, they risked their life for us.
Here are some ways you can show respect and honor:
  1. Visit a veteran at a hospital and tell them thank you
  2. Volunteer with an organization, such as Canine Companions for Independence, that provide therapy dogs to veterans.
  3. Donate to your veterans
  4. Write them letters
  5. Attend to parades
I think this is a very special day. But we shouldn't just honor our veterans on November 11th, we should honor and support them everyday. These men and women have families of their own and they are risking their lives out there just for us, just for our freedom. These people deserve the best for doing so but sadly they don't receive the best. After they get back most get treated like they are nothing. I was reading the article US military veterans face inadequate care after returning from war – report  and it states that “Almost half of the 2.2 million troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan report difficulties on their return home, but many receive inadequate care from the US…” Do you think this is fair? Because i certainly dont. The sad part is that i can't really do anything about it because i'm underage but if you're reading this right now, help them. They have done so much for you and me and the whole US but the they doesn't treat them like they should be treated.

These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity:
  • 1. Have the courage to say no
  • 2. Have the courage to face the truth
  • 3. Do the right thing because it is right
-W. Clement Stone
If you have integrity, you'll live a happier and positive life. Everyone will remember your name and the good things you did because of your integrity. You should never let others take over you and your choices. If you don't want to do something say no, don't say yes because you feel pressure or because itll make you look cool. It totally won't look cool on your record. If you did something wrong and you're aware of the harm it caused you or others, say it was you. Don't lie about it, the truth will eventually come out and it'll be worse for you. Always ctr 24/7. You can never go wrong with ctr because it's always the right thing to do. Do something good and don't expect anything in return. Pass it forward and hope others do the same.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”
-Proverbs 13:20
If you talk to/ hang out with bad influences, you will become a bad influence. People who are bad influences usually have bad grades, do drugs, drink alcohol, and are basically failures. If you choose to be around these people, sooner or later you'll become one. If you hang out with wise people, you won't be a failure. Wise people help you, support you, care about you and they would never let you do something bad or something that is completely wrong. Choose to be around these people. They value you for who you are, not for who they make of you. If you are a bad influences, choose to change for the better. Do it for your future. Don't become someone you don't want to become just because others want you to become that.

The Gainesville Tornadoes thank their unexpected fans
These guys can only play basketball a few times a year because they ctw. There is never a crowd of fans when this team plays against other high schools. Two players decided that they wouldn't play unless there was a crowd on the bleachers. They invited a crowd of people and these two boys asked them to cheer for the opposite team. The fans did cheer for the opposite team and the opposite team was so confused. They all said they would remember this day forever. I think this is a good idea in a way. It's a good idea because you avoid conflicts between the two teams and it shows respect and support. It's not as good because not everyone will agree with this, cheering for the opposite team and not caring about the score. These two boys ctw at first but then realized their mistakes and ctr. Which is good. This should be a motivation to others.

“The best recreation is to do good.”
-William Penn
If you want to change, you should do it for the better. You should change by ctr always. Don't hang out with people who ctw. Those people are not good influences. Hang out with people who ctr 24/7 and who motivate you to do the same. You may not be a ctr person yet but you can change that right now. It's never too late to become a ctr person. If you want to get straight A's on your next report card, study, work your butt off. Do anything possible to raise those grades. Start being a ctr person, it'll help you improve in your academics and in your personal life. You should always  ctr. If you don't yet make sure you start ctr.
