It’s better to fail with honor than win by cheating. After all, if you fail with honor- you’re still a winner.

   

These two stories are a very good example for Sophocles quote. It shows how Malik Steward, lose to state championship, but had honor with him to go and shake his opponents dads hand. He failed, but he didn't cheat, he failed with honor. As to Roman Chapa he cheated miserable, just to win. To win for money, which indeed does not show honor, he choose the wrong and should be punished. He won but by cheating. Which isn't a honorable thing. An in people's eyes he is a cheating person who can't be trusted. Just did it for the money.

Student Success Statement

“ I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Spochocles

What this quote is telling me that i would prefer to fail with honor than succeed by cheating. This quote is very true like it's better to have honor than to cheat. An when you lose with honor people respect that. But when you cheat to win that's not very nice. Some people work so hard to win, for someone to come and cheat them off, and win. It becomes really unfair. And that's not choosing the right. An it's better to lose to something than to cheat your way up. When someone works hard to make it to the top it shows how much passion he has. For what he is doing. But when someone cheats their way up to the top is shows how unreliable, and a sore loser you are. An when people find out that you cheated it's going to be very pain full for them as for you too. It's best just to lose with honor than to win by cheating.

       Memorial Day Weekend

What i did for memorial day weekend was that i went to the beach. What i did on saturday was technically nothing. My family just went to the park to go and relax. And on Saturday we went to church, and came back home, and toward night we decide to go walk at the Santa Monica Pier. We just when to the pier, we went to a nearby mall, window shopping. And we saw many cool and great things at Santa Monica. On memorial Day we went to the beach again. But this time we went to get in. We went to Venice Beach, where we got in the water, and we had fun there. Once we were done getting in the water, we walked on the board side. Were they selled and had amazing things. There was people performing, as well as selling refreshments, and it was just so fun. One cool thing was that we paid to enter the freak show they have there. It was really crazy. We saw the world smallest guy, as well as the world's smallest girl. The monsters performed for us, there was a girl called the rubber girl, where she twistes her arm like five times, And once it's done it goes worse, then she pops her elbow making it go the opposite way. It was really insane.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May. The purpose of memorial day is that we honor men and woman who died during serving for the U.S Military. So they won't be forgotten.  Memorial Day is the last Monday of May, this year it falls on the 30th of May.

Ways to Show Honor:

1. Write a thank you note and send it overseas
2. Visit a local veterans Cemetery or a war ceremony
3. Visit and take cookies to a local Veterans Hospital
4. Go to a Memorial Day Parade, or watch the National Memorial Day Parade
5. Enjoy Freedom by enjoying time with the family
6. Fly the Flag
7. Donate to charity that helps support our Military
8. Volunteer

A few things i would do to show honor to our fallen heros is to display the american flag outside my house. I would also write a thank you note to our soldiers that are in combat. I will also give a moment of silence for our fallen soldiers.

Student Success Statement

‘ If I’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, i’, going to succeed.”

-  Dan Dierdorf

What i understand about this quote is that when you're goals are good and correct. And you keep pursuing them, everything else is going to fall in order. An example would be to get into college. If you work hard and do your best in high school. You are most likely to get a scholarship. Which pays for all of your college. As you can see everything is falling into line. And when you do the right thing make sure to do it right. This mens that say you help[ somebody clean, you make sure it gets clean. An do the job with a positive attitude. When you do something right, but don't have a positive attitude, the job turns out to look bad, and it looks worse than when you got there. That's why is best to choose the right, and make sure it's right.

An Internal Phenomenon

“ The reward for doing right is almost an internal phenomenon: Self respect, dignity (self worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

This quote is very inspiring because it shows how when you choose the right, you have this feelings. And this feelings are the self respect you have for yourself. Self respect means by not harming your body, and you respecting your  body. And example of hurting your body is cutting. The other feeling that you feel is integrity, you value how your personal beliefs, and how you stand up for what is right. Another one is self esteem. Self esteem is the way you talk about yourself. Some people have the tendency of talking about about themselves. Like “ohh i look fat in this” “oh id doesn't look good on me”. People that talk about their body like this is that they have negative thoughts. Which can lead to depression or suicide. Dignity is the same like self respect you need to love and embrace the way you look.

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing
3. Don’t chase after money
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

What i understand about this quote is that you must work hard. Work hard for what you want to be in life. Don't give up when there's no hope, you just keep working, till you reach the light at the end of the tunnel. The second tip is what you want to be in life, have passion for it. Do things you want to do that you enjoy doing. Don't get a career in technology and you not like doing it. Make sure u have that passion for what you want to be when you grow up. The 3 tip is don't chase after the money. When you start your career, the money will start raining on you. The money will find its way to get to you. The last tip is serve others. And do good things for them. It's just like the money, the money will come to you. But in this case when you do something good for someone, someone else is going to do something good to you. It's just like “What goes around comes around”. When you you help a lady out, maybe your friends or family will also help you out whenever you need help. I think this statement is very true.

         World Records

The world record held was oldest gymnast who still competes. The world record that holds it is a 86 year old women by the name, Johanna Quaas from Germany. This world record was broke in Italy Rome, on 12 April 2012.

Another world that fascinates me is The most Body modifications. Most body modifications on a female is held by Maria Jose Cristerna (Mexico) who has a total of 49 body modifications, including significant tattoo coverage, a range of transdermal implants on her forehead, chest and arms, and multiple piercings in her eyebrows, lips, nose, tongue, ear lobes, belly button and nipples.

Maria Cristerna is also referred to as 'The Mexican Vampire lady.'

I am fascinated because it's pretty gross to see someone with a persing. And this woman has 49 body modifications. And she almost looks like a evil witch. It's crazy how people like to look like this. And she has like bumps on her head making her look like the devil/ Vampire. I would personally wouldn't like to break a world record.

“You knew what i was when you picked me up”

This is a story about a Indian youth which, climbed a mountain to reach the top. And in the top he became free. In a sense he was joyful. Until he heard  a rattle. This rattle was coming from a snake, and this snake asked the Indian Youth, “ I am dying up here can you help me down so i can get warm, and eat.” The Indian youth was very surprised because the snake could kill him. And the snake persuade him saying, “ i'll treat you special and i won't hurt you, please take me down to the valley.” As the Indian youth took him down, and wrap him in his shirt, he placed him down. As he said thank you and bit him. Then the snake said “ You knew what i was when you picked me up”! This is metaphorically speaking that when somebody offers you something bad and keeps telling you that there is no harm, you gotta always choose the right for you and doesn't harm you.  Other examples would be alcohol, drugs, stealing,etc etc. Also the snake represents evil trying to get you into bad things, and you have to stand your ground and say no.

The Right Thing

“ In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

What i understand about this quote is that when it comes down to making a decision is to choose the right. When you choose the right that means that you are doing what is best for you. So thats why its best the we choose the right, and when it's a hard decision you must think of the safety of the people and you. An example of a decision would be when your friend offers you drugs. You have a hard decision. You is good to do drugs? No it's not so you say no to drugs. An when you said no you were thinking about choosing the right. This is why we must remind a ctr person, so we don't make mistakes in decision, and when we decide to choose what is best for you and the right. This quote can be advise, you either choose the right decision. Or you choose the wrong which can cause problems, maybe injure you. Choose the right.

Nothing

“ Nothing is never gained in doing what’s wrong”

             - Wilford Woodruff

This statement is really true, like what are you going to get out of doing the wrong. You don't really get anything. The only thing you most likely to get are bad repercussions. It also depends on what you did and how severe you damaged people. But when you choose the right you gain something. You might gain there trust, or you might gaine a reward. You can also gain a good compliment. This is why i think this quote is so true because you really don't gain anything when you do something bad. So remember it best to choose the right, and get a good consequence rather than to get a bad repercussion. This statement really is powerful. And it's best to gain something good than something bad.

Do the right thing at the right time

“ It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right things at the right time”

Pam Knox

What i understand about this quote is that when you choose the right at the right time, in the inside you are going to feel very great. And you are going to have this feeling you never felt before. And people are going to see that you are a good person. An example would be that when an adult asks for a favor you help them out at the right moment. And at the right time. That is why after you're done you have a nice feeling, that you choose the right. You must always choose the right because you never know who is watching you. Also vice versa when you do something bad without telling anybody, there is somebody that watched you do, and choose the wrong. Thats why its always best to choose the right

Student Success Statement

“ I have been asked what i mean by ‘ word of honor’ i will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

What i am understanding that your word of honor is like a circle. When you give your word of honor you are placed into that circle, and say you break your word, is just like walking out that circle, and you will just die. Its also like you are placed in prison because you didn't keep your word of honor, instead you abandoned it which lead for you to get in trouble. You should be very careful how you give your word or when you give it. If you give your word and you do not complete it it's going to look very bad. It's going to show how you ain't trustworthy. And how you should be told anything, because you will open your mouth. You should also know when people take advantage of your word, you can tell because people will be asking you to do it for them. You have to have the courage to say NO.
