Summary

Summary…

Malik Stewart is a smart kid. He has a father that has terminal cancer so he set himself a goal. The goal was to win a state championship. Not for him but for his Dad. Malik worked his way to the top.He worked out got up early ate the right things and got good grades so that he can accomplish his goals.  Stewart succeeded in achieving his goal. He stripped the other student from the championship. Usually what happens in that situation is that person is so mad and so nerve wrecked that they storm off but not this person. Maliks component is a sophomore student and former wrestling champion. He not only embraced Malik for winning and working hard, he also embraced his father. That's not something you see every day.

The opponent is still a winner and showed everyone that there still are some good people out there. He failed honorably instead of winning by cheating like Roman Chapa. Roman Chapa won by cheating. Is it really winning if you cheated? I don’t think so. People Cheat because they have no hope for themselves. Roman should be like that component.Even if he did lose atleast he would have failed with honor.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”   -Sophocles

This quote says a lot. Not only about honor but about self respect and dignity. You can cheat and have no one ever find out about it. Then that also leads to more lies. Lies that you tell yourself and lies that you tell other people. If you avoid lying and cheating all together then if u win you’ll know it's because you deserve it. When you lie and cheat you're not only hurts yourself but those around you as well.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend

This year I didn’t celebrate Memorial Day. I was too busy moving my stuff into another room so that my brothers and future step brother could have mine. Which doesn't really make sense because now i have a future step sister and that room is too small for all 4 of us. In addition, it’s even worse because i have almost no more patients.

 -Future Dorm Room

I can make this work if i'm in charge. I would like to but in another shelf for my speakers and a banner of some kind. Kinda of how i imagine my future dorm room to look. Although i know they’ll fight me on everything. I already know they have no intentions on making this easy for me. My sisters and future step sister are the main reason i feel like not having kids.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is the last Monday of every May. It is a day dedicated to honoring all men and women who have served in the U.S military. At first it wasn’t called Memorial Day it was known as Decoration Day. ever since 1971 it was made to be a U.S official federal holiday. What some people don’t know is that it's also the beginning of summer.

Some ways to honor this U.S holiday is visiting the grave site where all our military veterans have passed. Or if you have family in the military that has passed or currently deployed throw a little fest in there name. Others might go to concerts, parades, or other family gatherings.

The Civil War claimed more lives than any other conflict in history and should always be remembered with this celebration. It shows honor to them and respect to the families of all those whom we lost.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”        Dan Dierdorf

This quote not only shows that good things will pay off eventually but it also shows that you must have a plan for what you want to be doing as well. If you have bad intentions for everything you do, you won’t go far. This quote also shows that if you have goals and you will stop at nothing to complete them then the odds are ever in your favor. Many people (rich people) get things handed to them. They get cars, houses, parties thrown for them all because 1 person in the entire family worked super hard for it. Even sometimes that still might not be the cause. For people like me. People that live in places like South Central or Huntington Park. We earn our money. We earn everything we have in our houses with hard work. We come from everywhere and become as one to do so. Even when the white man tries to bring us down. We still work for people like them. All for reasons. The reasons live with us. We do it for our families, friends, pets, and neighbors. We are a close community and we succeed all together. As a community that is our goal, our goal is to succeed.

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self- esteem.” -Dr. Laura Schelessinger

This shows that you don’t need to choose the right things for others. If you are choosing the right you do it for yourself. When you do something because you know it's right it doesn't matter what other people think. You know that you're doing good and you know that this is the right thing. For example, let's say i'm playing a volleyball game. The ball is served and it hits the line, but since everyone thought it was out i have two choices. My choices are let them take the fall and get the point or play fair and give them back their ball. I would go with the second choice. Not everyone will agree but it doesn't matter. If we win then we know it's because we are better not because we are cheaters.

“You knew what i was when you picked me up.”

This quote is telling us that although snakes can be sneaky because some have to ability to blend in with their surroundings we all know they are there. For example, people can be snakes, They can be manipulative they can me rude mean and sneaky. The will slither their way into your life and might just ruin it if we let hem. That is why we must really truly know who we surround ourself with. We must know what kind of person they are. If they are mean, smart, funny, playful. All qualities matter. No one wants to be around a snake. Someone who is just here to make everything worse and not better. Most likley the snake will be someone who didn’t like you in the past or someone who seeks for attention. In the end everything will be up to us though. We must know who the snakes are because if we don’t they can ruin everything for us. No one can trust a snake.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”  -Theodore Roosevelt

This quote shows that the right thing is always the answer. There will one day be a choice we must make and we will have to put a lot of thought into it. Not only because it's important but because we must make the right choice.The right choice is sometime the hardest choice. But sometimes the hardest choice is the wisest. For example, let's say you're playing tug of war. The rope is the choices and you opponent is the bad choice. You don't always have to win. Because after that tug of war your hands are gonna be in pain and sometimes the best thing is to let go. Sometime you don’t even have to make a choice. Not making a choice is an optional to. Not all the time but most.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”  -Wilford Woodruff

This quote shows that only good can come from good and only bad can come from bad. This shows that when you do good things you are rewarded. When you do bad things even if no one knows what you did, it will eventually come out. Its best to make good choices so that you won’t ever have to worry about the repercussions of your actions.

A Topic i Desire

A Topic I Desire...

 A topic i desire is Volleyball. I've been playing volleyball since i was in the 5 grade. For freshman year of High School i didn't join because i didn't feel liked by my team mates. If it wasn't gonna be a real team then i saw no reason for me to stay. We are supposed to play as a team,work as a team and win or loose as a team. If they didn't want to accept me then oh well, but now im trying out again and they have no choice. Volleyball has always been my sport. People think its so easy and then when they actually try out they see that it isnt. Thats one of the best parts though. Its not until you meet your match that the game gets exciting. Not only am i good but ive missed playing so much it feels right. The girls that didn't like me before didn't even know me. Now all spots are open and like i said Im trying out again. Only this time im giving it my all. Last time i didn't have to. I was a incoming freshman. My spot was already mine. Not only could i play but i was still in season at the time so i didn't even need to try that hard. I had practice in the mornings 6-12:30 and in the afternoon 1-5 or 6. So i was working at it all day every week except on the weekends. Even though sometimes we still practiced on the weekends just for fun, no conditioning, and then games every Saturday.

“ It's A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”  -Pam Knox

I believe Knox is trying to say that doing the right thing is always the right and good thing to do. I believe in this quote because doing the wrong thing can never be good. A person will always end up hurt. Either it's their feelings that get hurt or its them physically. For example, Let's say a friend was hurt because the guy she liked doesn’t like her back. You hate seeing her hurt so you lie and say that he does. What good can come from that lie? Nothing because she's gonna get happy for a while and then she will get hurt even more and embarrassed when she finds out the truth. That situation can go 2 ways. You can lie or you can comfort her and help her get over him. The 2nd choice is obviously better because time heals all wounds. Physical and emotional.

Speech Pathologist

Speech Pathologist

Duties and Responsibilities:

Assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients.

Salary:

$73,410

Education:

Up to a Master's Degree.

Demand for this profession:

Reflection: Would you like to become one? Why? Why not?

I wouldn’t be able to become one because i have no patients. Another reason why i wouldn’t be able to become one is because i have the tendency to laugh when it's not funny and wouldn’t be able to help myself. I wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings.

The 10 Indian Commandments

The 10 Indian Commandments

• Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
• Remain close to the Great Spirit.
• Show great respect to your fellow beings.
• Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
• Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
• Do what you know to be right.
• Look after the well-being of mind and body.
• Dedicate a share of efforts to the greater good.
• Be truthful and honest at all times.
• Take full responsibility for your actions.

One of the most honorable commandments out of the 10 would have to be “ Work together for the Benefit of all mankind”. I like this commandment because not a lot of people are willing to work with others now a days. It's heart breaking to watch someone leave the room just because they saw another person they didn’t like. Us as a nation should be one and at least get along with each other because if we don’t then we make everyone else look bad. Making everyone look bad is really unfair to the people who help each other and are genuinely nice. Im positive that other countries see our videos and think “wow look at the americans”. People who disrespect others and start fights are the same type of people who make everyone around them look bad.

Reflection: Would you like to be one? Why? Why not?

I would like to be one. I like the idea of cracking bones for pain relief and massaging for money. Besides it’s not bad money either. Another reason why i would like to be one is because i can do it from home.
