Physical Fitness

“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 Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

-John F. Kennedy

This quote by one of the most famous presidents of the United States, John F. Kennedy, Is trying to say that you can only reach the peak of intelligence when  you are physically fit. According to John F. Kennedy, we learned that you can only reach the peak of intelligence when  you are physically fit from the Greeks. An example of this could be to take well care of your body to keep it physically fit. One way you could do that is by exercising on a regular basis. Another way to stay physically fit is by being well nourished. When you eat healthy you will not gain fat which is unhealthy.

Thanksgiving week

During my thanksgiving week I didn’t do much. One of the first thing I did was go to my cousins house. My cousins live in The San Fernando Valley so it took about 1 hour to get there due to traffic. After staying there for 3 days I came back home. The next days leading up to thanksgiving I didn’t do much. All I did was watch a few movies at home. On thanksgiving day I went to my uncle's house. He lives 1 block away so we walked there. I hung out with my cousins and we played video games. We ate turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and corn. The next day I did my homework. All I had to do was my goals journal and a few sections for geometry.

Doing what is right

“Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

-Chick Moorman

This quote by Mr. Moorman is one everyone should live their life by. He teaches us that is more important to be a CTR person other than winning or losing. One of the reasons that i agree with this quote is because it is more important to have a good name than to win. You can win a game but, if it means that you have to do something that isn’t right then it’s not worth it.

3. Do the right thing because it is right.”

-W. Clement Stone

If you are not able to face the truth you’ll just run away from your problems. The third and final magic key is to do the right thing because it is right. This magic key is the most important one of all. If you don’t do the right thing than you are not a CTR person.

What happened in the video we just watched was about a basketball team that was made up of juvenile delinquents. They didn’t have any fans at all. But, when they played against a prep school, they had lots of fans cheering them on. This was a great example of choosing the right. The fans of the juveniles were told to cheer for them because they didn't have any fans. For the juveniles this was a great experience. They said that they will never forget that moment.
