Reflection: Well this is in fact true. It's basic knowledge,  

The choices you make in life might be small or sometimes really impactful. But there's some choices people make that weren't the greatest option. The decisions you make today might define your future. For example if one day you wake up and you're like hey, ima rob a bank.

Taking that choice might get you caught and sent to jail for many years which will ruin your opportunity of finding a stable job and might ruin the chance of future relationships. That ONE bad choice you make can define your future in more than one way.

"Bless You" 

 People say "Bless you when someone sneezes because the various of sneeze responses origniated for superstitions. Some people beleived that sneezing caused the soul to leave the body throught the nose. 

By saying "bless you" it would stop the devil from claiming one's soul 

This saying originated a very long time ago, there's a lot of interpertations of why we use this phrase. But It was literally meant as a blessing. 

Pope 1 the great (540-604 AD)  used "God bless you" whenever someone sneezed becasue that was one of the symptoms in the plague so he wold bless them in hope they didnt get the bubanic plague,

The practice of blesing someone after they sneeezed dates back to AD 77. 

In the video, It showed that a women named Rachel Castillo that worked in a golf course, she found a bag that held 36,000 dolllars with an ID of an elderly man. And instead of doing something that almost everyone would do. She chose to do the right thing and return the money because that was the right thing to do. She didnt recieve an award but she was ok with that becasue she believed her award would come from a higher power.

Student Success Statement 

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly." 

Ottoo Graham, Jr. 

Reflection: I don't agree that "this is the greatest question you can ask yourself." There's far greater questions, but that one just isn't one of them. 

Example of a greater question: What's my purpose in life? Whar's the purpose of everyone's life? Why are we here? 

Finding purpose in your life is far greater than asking yourself if something is right or wrong.

Im not going to talk about the video. 

I want to talk about the previous picture about the children from the little league team 

Yes they cheated but calling TWELVE YEAR OLDS pathetic and disgusting isnt exactly my definition of honor. 

You teach us not to judge, yet you're juding little kids just because an action they took when they were 12 years old. .

Maybe they didn't have the same opportunities as other people, maybe they deserved getting a glipse on how it felt like to not be looked down to. Calling a bunch of little african american twelve year olds disgusting and pathetic isn't honorable. 

what do you think that says about your honor? 

This really made me change my opinion on what I choose to believe

i find it sad how grown ups are suppose to teach us how to be kind and non judgemental, yet you're trying to manipulate us to thinking YOUR way

we all have different mentalities. 

shoving your believes, critism and judgments to people isn't honorable.

Basketball History

1. James Naismith invented basketball 

2. In Springfield, Masssachusettes

3. It was invented in 1891

4. It was invented to condition young athletes during the winter, it was consisted of peach baskets ad soccer-like balls. He invented 13 rules for the game. The objective of the game was to throw the ball into the fruit basket nailed to the lower railing of the gym balcony. 

5.So James Naismith could condition his athletes

6.in the beggining they just had a fruit basket and a soccer styled ball. the fruit basket was nailed to the balcony so they had to call the janitor with the ladder to get the ball down but after some time they the bottom on the fruit basket was removed. 

7. In the beginning only his team knew about this odd form of conditionning but James wanted to develope the idea into something more. He would divide his 18 players into 2 teams of 9 players. 

9.  In the start there were originally only 13 rules for the game but it has now expanded to over 100.

also the number of team players were limited, before any number of people could play but now the size decreased to 5 in a team. 

Baskets also changed, we dont use peach baskets, we use "hoops" with backboards. 

11. I think it was fascinating how this game developed over time, rules were added or improved or suspended. But the game came to be because of one man.

Christian And Tanna 

Christian's father mugged an old lady that was paying respect in a cementary to her husband that had passed away 2 weeks before.
Chris found out what happened and realized that his father had given him more than 200 dollars to go on a band trip that he wanted to attend.
He felt awful because he didnt wanna end up like his father so he met up with the lady and returned that money and apolagized. He didnt want to be a bad person and decided he wasnt going to be one.
The lady was grateful so she let him keep the money.
I think it was nice how the guy didnt even have any association with his father but still decided to do the right thing out of empathy and understanding
