Act of Kindness


In the video, I liked the part when the man in the store gave the lady with her baby money to pay for the diapers because he saw how she was struggling with her baby, had no money because her card was declined, so he just gave her money to pay for it without anything in return. What he did shows true kindness, he made her day.

“Kindness is the essence of greatness.”

 Joseph B. Wirthlin


Kindness is what makes us great. Without kindness we would not be so great, we would be cruel & heartless. Being kind to each other makes people feel good about them. You should treat others however you want to be treated.

Student Success Statement

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

James Freeman Clarke


I believe what this quote by Clarke means is whatever you do will affect you in the future. For instance if you smoke then stop that will affect you later on because it is possible you can develop some type of cancer or any sickness.

A dental lab technician work with dentists to follow a written order or prescription of the dentist. For instance if the dentist writes down the patient needs full dentures who are missing all of their teeth they would get it for them.

Education:
·       High school diploma
·       Graduate from a technical school

Veterans’ Day


Veterans’ Day is the day America gained an alliance with Germany on the 11th month on the 11th day and on the 11th hour of 1918. Since then every November 11th people in America honor soldiers for what they did. Also there is a ceremony held on that day at 11 p.m. to honor and thank them.

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

~Chick Moorman~


I believe what Moorman means is that when you are doing something right you are doing it honestly and fair to others which is what matters the most instead of just winning or losing. For instance you are taking a test and did not study then your friend asks if you want the answers you should just say no because once you do that test you are doing it fairly and honest to others and yourself.

Student Success Statement

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”


Proverbs 13:20


This quote means is that depending on the people you are with or are your friends they will lead you to the right or wrong path. For example, your friends always to their homework and always have high expectations in life and encourage you to too. But if your friends do drugs and don’t try in school they will bring you down with them and lead you to the wrong path.
