''You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."
Thomas S. Monson

Mr. Monson is trying to point out that in life choosing the wrong will never ever feel right. In other words it isn't the correct path to choose, or the right thing to do in general. Mr. Monson is also claiming that choosing the right will never be wrong no matter what the circumstances are. This also reveals that choosing the right .


I'll finish later..

People sometimes wonder what President's Day is. Presidents day is a holiday in which it originated after the works of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other presidents. In other words, the holiday's purpose is to recognize the works of these former presidents. Presidents' day also honors the birthday of George Washington. The holiday is celebrated in the month of February. Presidents' day doesn't really have a specific date like other holidays. However, Presidents' day is always celebrated on a Monday.The holiday's origin goes back to 1879, when congress decided to implement the holiday. The first Presidents' day was actually celebrated on Washington's actual birthday. However, since 1971, the dates varied. Over the years, more rules have been implemented relating to the holiday. Annually, students don't come to school on a Presidents' day. Post offices services aren't available on that day. Certain businesses aren't at service as well. Personally it is a great day for a president like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln to get recognition. I feel like ever since presidents' day became a holiday, congress expanded Washington's and Lincoln's legacy. 

''Enthusiasm makes the difference.''
                                                                                                         ~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

1898-1993

Enthusiasm is such a great positive emotion. When someone shows enthusiasm it shows intense interest and excitement. A person who shows enthusiasm is a person who is also open minded. A close minded person won't show any of these emotions. A closed minded person tends to rather be more negative and not willing to try. More people should be enthustiastic because people will notice, and people would want to follow them as well. People with enthusiasm are willing try and go further into the game, while people who don't show any enthusiasm will be left behind. I wouldn't consider having no enthusiasm a CTW person because maybe they are too afraid. Maybe people under estimate one another and it can bring a person down. Sometimes a person doesn't really have enough confidence to show what they truly got. However, they can change and get help. Enthusiastic people is a group of people I would like to be in, because they are the most open minded people you'll ever meet. I myself can relate to this because I use to show no enthusiasm in my P.E. class. People under estimated me, but then it came to a point where I proved them wrong. It is a great feeling to be enthusiastic because goals and dreams are rather accomplished faster, when a person carries an open mind.

''I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."       

Dean Smith
1931-2015

Dean Smith did something great in his life. Througout his life he lived it well. Because he chose the right, he lived the life he deserved. This man was an incredible CTR person and a good person a team could look up too. This quote basically describes how he got to that high point of his career. He choosed the right as a young man. It was because he choose the right, that he left a living legacy behind. He really didn't seem to care if his team won or loose. He simply cared if they played fair. Any coach, should make that a goal. Throughout his career, he probably lost a few games, but he was mature enough to accept the loss. When the other rivals lost the game, he didn't cuss with excitement. He didn't even made fun of their loss. He did a CTR move when he congratulated his rivals. He basically played them fair and right. What Dean Smith really wanted was his team to know what is right and to do what is fair. He wanted his team to play fair. It didn't really matter, if they lost because anyday they are a winner. With this saying, he wants us to do some right, so our future can turn out great. Mr. Smith obviously choose the right as a young person, and so he left behind a legacy, in wich it still lives on.              

Lead Your Life

''It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.''

Randy Pausch
1960-2008

The quote itself is divine and meangingful. Mr Pausch was already dieing, yet he was optimistic and lived his life to the fullest. This man has been blessed. What he said might aim towards our youth and the younger children. I feel like this is something a child should be told, to set them down the right path. A person needs to focus more on how to lead their life, because soon to follow will be a person's achievement. Dreams will become a reality, but if a person keeps dreaming on, their dreams will most likely never see the light of day. In life we must be optimistic and lead our lives the right way, so everything a person ever wanted comes true. Dreams are important, but the way a person is leading their lives is beyond important. The way a person lead their life, determines how their future is going to turn out. An example would be a student focusing about their grades, and then achieve what they are seeking for. What Mr. Pausch really wanted us to know is to, rather focus on how our lives need to be leaded, rather than our dreams. If we think to much on our dreams, the person is not letting it be granted. The person is preventing the dream to come true. Dreams have their time, and we shall rather wait till it happens. The way a person leads their life also shows how they are truly going to live weather, happy or depressed.

''Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the body, the mind, and all the character, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselvesto decide the destinies of the nation.''

Theodore Roosvelt

Mr. Roosevelt said a great statement, because it links into todays society. Every volunteering work in this country is really great. However something more outstanding than volunteering work is to educate the body, mind, and character. In life we also need some spiritual and moral training to, in order to keep the body, mind, and character educated. Doing so will, have such a great impact in people's lives. However, all this goes through a proccess. A process in which a person chooses the right. That means they are educating themselves not to do this or that. Teens do detrimental activities with drugs, but if a person can stay away and resist, then they are educated from the body. If a person denies an offer to take a ciggarette or a drink, than they are mentally educated from the mind. It's the littlest things people don't notice, that can make a person go downhill, for example a drug. A character is built up by the actions a person does. Good character developes when a person knows what's right and chooses to follow it. A bad character developes when a person knows what's wrong, but decides to follow it anyways. When a person is spiritually trained. they are rather full of empowerment and that is really great. Moral training is understanding the consequences and the rewards of life. Having evry bit of it is useful in life because a person can be something in life. That person will be something great in society. Without any CTR people in the world, we wouldn't have any doctors, firefighters, polices, or basically anyone who helps out in society. We are going to be the next groups of these people, and we are going to train the body, mind, character, and spirit to accomplish this goal.

Volunteer Oppotunities

     People can make a difference and volunteer to be part of somethng. Today I was told to look up a medical health related volunteer oppurtunities. I find vetinary volunteer very interesting because, it's basically providing good health for dogs and cats. Several oppurtunities for the animals, are good relationships with people. It also looks good on a college application. A person can interact with either a dog or a cat. Sometimes a person can foster a dog or a cat who's been through rouch times in their lives. Other times a person can go volunteer at an adoption store. They get to organize medical supplies, take care of newborn kittens and puppies, help them find a home, and socialize with any animal. To volunteer in the veterinary field, there are some requirements. The person must commit to a minimum of 3 months of service, must be at age of +14 or higher, contribute at least 8 hours of service per month, and attend at least one orrientation. Locations were a person can apply are Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Westchester, West Hollywood, Brentwood, and Bernice. In my opinion, I will actually volunteer at some point. I want to make a different in animals lives. Some animals don't get the support they need, and I am willing to foster a dog, volunteer at vets, and volunteer at adoptions, over the summer.
