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

Theodore Roosevelt

  What is the right thing you may ask? The right thing is when your friend at the age of 14 offer you some alcohol at a party and you say “no thanks I am underage.” That is the right thing your friend chose the wrong by drinking alcohol at a very young age when their brain has not been fully developed and could create some permanent damages later on.
Life Planning progress Post

       

    In my life planning book, so far I have completed about 7 out of 148. This is a very small amount and my goals just keep growing and growing yet I have not completed at least half of them. Mostly because I do not have the time or my parents do let me out so often. I cannot seem to manage my time. I really need to learn how to manage my time wisely and convince my parents to let me out more in order to complete my goals.

Doing the Right Thing

In the video, Sara has not had any homeruns but then the day comes that she finally makes one with a problem. Sara makes her first homerun but while she runs to second base she hurts her leg and cannot not run anymore or walk. The 2 players from the oppose team, Central Washington pick her up and help her get to the bases.
I thought this was very kind and so thoughtful of them, especially considering since they are from the oppose team.

The 10 Native American Commandments


1.        Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.

The 10 Indian Commandments are somewhat interesting and inspiring because most of these commandments just say to respect others and mother nature. Only one this commandment has to do with religion. The commandments basically say to that you should respect the earth and mankind, to share, respect, be honest, truthful, help, work together with others and  look after yourself and know what’s right from wrong.

Student Success Statement
“A promise must never be broken.”

Alexander Hamilton


A promise is an assurance to someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something; undertake or declare that something will happen. If you make a promise, you should never break a promise to anyone because then that person will thing of you as if you do not care or you do not respect them. Then when you make a promise to yourself do not break it because it will be as if you do not respect yourself. Unless of course if you promise to do something bad or wrong then it is okay to break it because you made a mistake making it and you knew now that it is the wrong thing to do.

“What you see is what you get.”

Anonymous


I really like this quote because it is true if you see yourself as say a musician then you will try your best to achieve that goal. I see myself becoming a dermatologist and then working for CDC. Also see myself playing the violin and piano on my free time. I will try very hard to achieve this goal of mine by focusing, studying for exams, never give up and not going down the wrong path when it comes to making decisions.

Professional Violinist


Duties and responsibilities: Violinists are expected to be highly skilled musicians. They gained practical experience through performance and formal education. In concerts violinists hold a variety of positions including section member, concertmaster, soloist, or guest performer.
Salary: $32.10-$68.63 per hour
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in music theory or performance
Master’s degree in fine arts or music
Many years of practice and skill on violin




I would really love to be a violinist because I play the violin myself and I just enjoy playing it, although in my advance band all we play mariachi music I kind of like it but would very much prefer orchestra classical music or jazz or rock or metal. Mariachi is okay for now. Professional violinist is like somewhat a dream for me, that and a professional pianist I just enjoy how it sounds.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau


Thoreau states that goodness is always the right thing to do. You cannot feel bad or wrong once you have done something good because you know in your heart it was the right thing to do. 
World’s Largest Chocolate Bar

World’s largest chocolate bar was made by Thornton’s PLC, a chocolate factory in Alfreton, Derbyshire, UK. The record was made on September 7, 2011 with the chocolate bar weighing 12,770 lb. 4.48 oz. with the measure of 13 ft. 1.48 in. by 13 ft. 1.48 in. by 1 ft. 1.78 in. Creating the chocolate took 10 hours to do and 3 days to cool off.

This is one of my favorite world records because I love chocolate and seeing this is absolutely mouthwatering and surprising. It is fascinating how a company decided to create such an enormous chocolate and also to celebrate their company’s 100th anniversary. Making a world record does seem interesting, I would want to consider breaking one but not exactly sure which one.
