Without a Rudder

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

This quote is truthful on what it says. Everyone has to have a goal in life so they can move forward. When we do not set goals for ourselves we have nothing to do. When we have a goal we have a reason to move forward and progress in life. An example of this can be once you graduate from high school. If you don't plan ahead and have goals set, then you will no more forward.

Memorial Day Weekend

During my 3 day weekend I did some things as going to collect oysters, going to the San Fernando Valley, as well was watching the soccer game. On Saturday i went to the San Fernando Valley with my sister, mom, and niece. We went to go visit my grandma and also so my grandma could see my niece. We were there from about 11am-7pm. The following day which was Sunday we had a barbecue outside and brought a TV out to watch the soccer game, which Chivas won. It was me, my parents, my cousin, and my brother and his wife that were outside watching the game while eating. The next day which was Monday, me, my dad, and my cousin went to Seal Beach which is in Long Beach to go collect oysters. We were there from about 11am-3pm. We collected half a buckets worth.

Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton

In this quote we are seeing that to truly recover from an injury we have to learn to forgive. If we stay mad and vengeful our whole life, we will have had never truly recovered from that event. We seen an example of this moments ago when Mr. Haymore showed us a video that had a woman forgiving a man who had killed her daughter in a drunk driving incident. She stated that when she forgave him she felt free as if she had finally recovered from that event. The man also felt better when he was forgiven. He said that it had felt like all that guilt was finally taken off of him. Another example of this can be when a friend says something behind your back. At the moment you might feel like you have to get them back for betraying you will learn that is better to forgive than to get revenge.

Memorial Day

Memorial day is a holiday in the USA in which we remember those who have died in active military service. It use to be on the 30th of May but, now it is recognized on the last Monday of May. Some ways to truly show honor and respect on Memorial Day is by writing a thank you letter to a soldier overseas, visiting a local veterans cemetery, visiting and taking cookies to veteran hospitals, going to or watching a Memorial Day parade on TV, and also by enjoying your freedom and spending time with your family.

Do Right

“Dare to do right.”

-Rex D. Pinegar

Moments ago Mr. Haymore read us a letter from an old friend of his. In the letter he talked about how he was dared to run across the street as a car was approaching and foolishly he accepted the dare and was hit by the car. He then talked about how it is foolish to accept any dare that ask you to do something your parents or teachers would disagree on. He told us, “Dare to do right.” meaning to only accept a dare that ask for something positive. An example of a bad dare can be when a friend dares you to juggle knives. This dare will only bring pain to you because if you mess up, you will be seriously injured. An example of daring to do right is when someone dares you to pass a test at school. This is a great dare because you should already be aiming at passing any test. You should not fall into peer pressure when your friends call you chicken when you don’t accept a dare that is wrong such as, being dared to smoke a cigarette and accepting the dare. Accepting bad dares will make you feel bad, accepting good dares will make you feel great.

We just finished watching a video about a girl named Brooke. She is 6 feet tall and she is a CTR person. She lives in Mexico and even though she comes from somewhere else where the culture and religion is different, she still manages to fit in and be a CTR role model. All of her friends say shes a CTR person ans she is always trying to make her friends CTR people also. She stands up for herself even if shes the only one who dressage with something or someone.
