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

 What I think this quote is trying to say is that its be tter to be fair than to win or lose. People shouldn’t have to win by cheating, they should just be fair. No one is going to want to play a game with a cheater.  I believe cheating is wrong and everyone should win by playing fairly. Choosing the right is another thing that is more important than winning or losing. People who don’t play fair go through the consequences. The best thing you can do is try your best and try to get better. Cheating will get you nowhere in life and it will just make you look bad. So play fairly and don’T cheat even if you’re trying to win. Always choose the right and you’ll continue to be a good and happy sport.

“Honesty is the best policy”
      - MARK TWAIN  

What I think this quote is trying to say is honesty is the best thing to do. Being honesty is better than telling a dirty lie. When people tell lies, they feel bad when they do it because it’s wrong. Some people make lies to make them look “good” or try not to get in trouble. Telling a lie doesn’t make you look good, it makes you look bad. No one would want a friend that’s a liar. They would just lie to you all the time and be a really  bad friend and no one would want that. It’s better to be honest and whenever you get in trouble, to face the consequences. Telling the truth is better than telling a lie because people will believe you and trust you. Don’t drop down to being a liar and continue to be honest .

                            Veterans Day

A public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War l to honor US veterans and victims of the wars

Friday November 11th

The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor the end of World War l

It is important because it is a way to acknowledge the sacrifices they mad to serve their country

• Donate
• Ask someone about their service
• Visit a VA hospital
• Fly a flag

• Today , there are about 1.6 million female veterans
• The median income for veterans for 2009 was $35,000 a year
• California has more U.S. military veterans than any other state

I think Veterans Day is a really interesting and nice holiday . It’s nice to show people caring for the people who served for our country. This is probably one of my favorite holidays. I hope people continue to celebrate this holiday.

                These are the 3 magic keys to living

                          your life with integrity

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth
3. Do the right thing because it is right - W.Clement Stone

What I think this statement is trying to say is to follow the steps to live a life with integrity. Have the courage to say no to the wrong thing.Don’t say yes to anything that is wrong.Have the courage to face the truth.When you face the truth, you must confess that is was right and not to lie about it. Do the right thing and keep on doing it.It is always good to choose the right and to never choose the wrong

             He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion

 of fools shall be destroyed

What I think this quote is trying to say is when you hang with the wise people , you are wise . Don’t hang out with the people who like to smoke pot or drink. Both of those actions won’t make you wise. The wise do the opposite from smoking pot and drinking, they’re really nice people. You can actually call those wish people your friend. The companion of fools don’t care about their school work , they just want to have fun. The wise people do their school work and help out others. Don’t end up like the foolish companions and be a CTR student. Sure others might think the fools are “cool” but they really aren’t , not one bit.

In this story , it talked about the Gainesville Tornadoes. They were a basketball team that played without no fans. They didn’t really mind it because they loved to play basketball, but the Vanguard team did. They felt that playing basketball without no one to cheer for them is weird. Vanguard wanted to be nice and did a little something for them. When both teams were going to play, a bunch of fans were there cheering for The Gainesville Tornadoes. This made them really happy knowing there were people there to cheer for them. It didn’t really matter who won because who cares. This made me feel kind of happy because the other team was so generous to do this for them.

            “The best recreation is to do good.”

What i think this quote is trying to say is the best thing to do is to do good. In sports or activities, you should always try your best. It doesn’t matter if you’re bad at the sport or activity you do. When you do good , you feel good. People like to do recreations to help them calm down like before doing homework. Some recreations can be really fun and can make you happy. Let’s say you’re going to go play soccer and you want to be really good at it. If you try enough , you’ll start getting better. One recreation you should do good on is school . If you don’t do good in school, you won’t achieve a lot. Continue doing good and never do bad.
