“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

James Freeman Clark

Reflection:

          I think this is a great quote because it is completely true. This is something people should live by because if they know this then they’ll be reminded to right because they never know if it will come back and haunt them. For example if you find money and return it back to the owner then soon enough good things will come your way. But if you do the wrong thing like cheat on a test then it will haunt you all eternity.

A professional photographer usually works to a brief set by the client or employer.

          Yes I would love to be a photographer, because it’s the most exciting job. Also I’ve always been drawn to photography like taking pictures. I have my own cannon camera so this would start me off.   

Student Success Statement

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

Charles Ketterer

Reflection:

          The only way to control the future is to make the right choices if you do then soon in future good things will come your way. But if you don’t make any effort then your future will be dark and dull. The future is what you make of it, that’s why you need to try to make it right.   

“Bless you”

          Wishing someone well after they sneeze probably originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say "Jupiter preserve you" or "Salve," which meant "good health to you," and the Greeks would wish each other "long life." The phrase "God bless you" is attributed to Pope Gregory the Great, who uttered it in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic (sneezing is an obvious symptom of one form of the plague). Some people believed that a sneeze causes the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying "bless you" would stop the devil from claiming the person's freed soul. Others believed the opposite: that evil spirits use the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person's body. There was also the misconception that the heart momentarily stops during a sneeze (it doesn't), and that saying "bless you" was a way of welcoming the person back to life. It originated in AD 590 by Pope Gregory I.
 

                                         

 

                                                                      Video Reflection:

  This video was about a lady name Rachel in Miami who worked at a golf club who found a random bag just sitting under a bench. Little did she know that bag had money inside of it $36,000. Nit only was there money but a ID on a 76 year old man. So she did what was right, she turned in the bag to police with the ID inside and they found the man and contacted him to give him the money bag. She could have done the wrong thing and just kept it or take half but she gave the entire stacks of money back. I liked this video because it shows that no matter what you need to do the right thing.

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than be in bad company.”

 

George Washington

Reflection:

          I agree with this quote by George Washington because if you surround yourself with good people that will rub off on you and make you a even better person. But if you surround yourself with bad people soon you to will become just like them and why even bother becoming that when it’s so simple to just be with good people. Just like he says ‘‘tis better to be alone than be in bad company” it’s best if you just stay way from what’s bad and be with what’s good.

“Right is right only when entire.”

Victor Hugo

Reflection:

        I agree with this quote by Victor Hugo because you have to completely do the right thing not partiality you can’t just do half of it and receive full credit you need to the whole thing. For example if you are in group project and you only do some work and let your group mates do the rest, it’s not right you need to complete your task in order for it to be right.

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where your goalposts are.”

Arnold H. Glasgow

Reflection:

          I agree with this quote by Arnold H. Glasgow because if you don’t what your goals are then you’re  lost and don’t know where to go and can’t achieve. Much like football players without a goalpost they would be lost and confused and wouldn’t be able to make a touchdown and win the game.  

 

                           History of Basketball

             

The creator of basketball is James Naismith. James Naismith was a Canadian American sports coach and innovator. He invented the sport of basketball in 1891. James Naismith created the game while working at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts.  He created the game so that athletes can play during the winter. He published 13 rules for the new game. He divided his class of 18 into 2 teams of 9 players each and set about to teach them the basics of his new game. You basically just had to throw the ball into the fruit baskets, until later on when they removed the bottoms of the fruit baskets so the ball would go through. The first public game was on March 11,1892 they used a soccer ball and two peach baskets. In the begging they had to shoot the ball from the on spot where they caught the ball. Basketball today is way different we now we use actual basketballs and real nets instead of soccer balls and fruit baskets. Also the rules are different before you couldn’t run with the ball you had to stay now we can run (dribble) the ball to make a shot.

            

                         

 

 

Video Reflection:

I thought this story was very touching, because instead of being heartless the boy Christian went back and did what he felt was right to do. He didn't want to be like his father so he stepped up and went up to the lady who grieving. I thought it was nice especially someone that young with a big heart unlike most people who would have not cared and been selfish. He gave up a lot of money and a great opportunity to do what's right but in return he got something better. I think more people should be like Christian and do what's right and not what they want.

Count Leo Tolstoy

Reflection:

          I think what this quote by Count Leo Tolstoy means that if you live a good life by choosing the right then good things will come your way and make you life so much easier.
