“ True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s  right .”

Reflection~ This quote means that the only way a person will have freedom and true independence is by doing what is right their is no other way through it than choosing the right path. You can start choosing the right path by your actions like being a positive person and not doing drugs. The best freedom you can ever have is being yourself for example not trying to fit in with other people who make the wrong choices.Freedom is basically being you with nobodies permission. You can simply have the freedom you deserve by choosing the right. It is simple when it comes to making the right choices for you and your life. An example of this quote would be like when you have a certain curfew with your parents you need to be a responsible child and get home at that time not later.If you have a curfew you should follow that curfew so that your parents give you more freedom and so that you become more independent. If you get home late your parents will not give you freedom. You should never deny freedom to anyone else because we all deserve the freedom that we have. A lot of people don't like freedom because it takes lots of responsibility but you should give up and not try. Freedom is a big part of our life’s.

QUOTE~ “ Many think that the short term gain will be, worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating,and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater.Don’t do it.”  by George Mitchell

Reflection- This quote means that being a cheater is not good at all. This quote defines why cheating isn’t a good thing. When you cheat once you will forever remain recognized as a cheater because that will be the way others will see you. When you cheat once everyone will be against you and your future choices. A big part of a person’s life is knowing how to not be a cheater. An example, of this quote would be a student in class who is taking a test and decides to take steroids right before he is going to take it this will define him as a big bad cheater because he chose to do the wrong thing by taking a drug. This will ruin his health, get him into trouble with his parents and even make him get suspended from school. This will make this student be seen as a cheater forever it follow him into his future. This will affect his future in many ways because he decided to be a cheater. Then no college will want him. His future career maybe ruined and he won’t be able to get a job and support his family. Being a cheater is something horrible to ever be in your life. You should never be a cheater because it will follow you. Being a cheater will affect your whole life. When you cheat it will be harder for you to not cheat again since you have been a cheater before.

“ I won’t cheat”~ Dale Murphy

Reflection~ This quote by Dale Murphy to means choose the right in your life so that you won’t be recognized as a cheater. Don’t take shortcuts in your life that might lead to problems and only get you into trouble. For example, there are people who run marathons fairly but there are also those who take drugs before their big day and that right there is cheating. It can hurt their health but also it can affect their future career as a marathon runner. You shouldn't cheat because it isn't your hard work. Hard work pays off when it is done by you and no one else.  You will never regret working hard but if you cheat that is something you will regret. When you cheat the only person you’re truly cheating on is yourself. Doesn't matter when or how you cheat because any type will still bring you consequences. Cheating at school isn't being successful and it will not get you far in life. Another example would be cheating on a science test at school by peeking over to your classmates test. This will get you in huge trouble with your parents,teachers,and even your principal it may get you suspended from school or even from all districts so really cheating is never going to be a good thing. You should think before you cheat, think about the consequences behind you cheating. Cheating feels awful at last. You shouldn't lie, or cheat to anyone because it is really you cheating on yourself. I personally think cheating is the worst thing to do at school or anywhere else. Cheating will affect your life. A last example of cheating is when you have finals in college and you decide to take advantage by taking a picture of the answer key when you have a substitute and send it to your friends this will get you expelled from college and then no colleges will want you because you are known as a cheater.

Quote: “Character Matters Most” by Dale Murphy

Reflection~ Character matters most because it is what really counts in a person. Without our character we wouldn’t really be anyone. Character is needed anywhere. A person’s character plays a big role in their life. Character matters when you are socializing with friends or family, character matters at a job interview, character matters when you’re meeting new people and making friends. Character is really a part of our everyday life. Character makes you who you are inside and out. You can’t have a bad character and have good things in your life. In order to earn good you need a great character.For example, when i had my first interview I was expected to have a great character and be positive so that good outcomes would result like getting the job and passing my interview. At this interview it was important for me to have character because without it I wouldn’t be able to communicate with the professor. Having character benefits you in many ways for example since I had good character at my first interview my results were positive I got accepted to the internship. Having character and being honored for it feels good.

“ Great beauty,great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.” -Benjamin Franklin

This quote means that nothing other than a right heart , basically a heart that only goes for  the good things is what really matters. A good heart that only chooses the right is what truly matters. Even if you have great strength and potential in you but you choose the wrong your great strength isn’t the thing that matters.For example, it is like if you are the most athletic person in your school and the best player in your team but during your final game you cheat that’s the part in you that matters having a right heart is what truly matters not only because your a great player does that make you better than others. What truly counts in a person is there good heart. You can’t be a cheater and have a right heart. You have to be a good person inside and out at all times in order to have a right heart. Its really like if you have a right heart that is what makes you better than others. Having a right heart beats all other categories. Being a person with a good heart makes you the person you truly are. You can never do bad things and have a right heart because doing bad things makes your heart a wrong heart. Your heart plays a big role in who you are and the things you do in order to be a great person.

Quote: “ Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.” - Otto Graham,Jr.

Reflection: This quote means that when acting a certain way you should remember to act right. No matter what it is acting right is the only thing that truly matters. At anytime in your life whether you're out partying with friends or at the park with your family you should remember to think twice about the things you do. If you decide to choose the wrong it will only ruin your good name. When you're put into a situation for example maybe you're at a party and friends offer you to take drugs but you aren't really sure what to say you should think according to your actions. If you know it is wrong and there will be consequences for you then why take the risk of getting yourself into trouble when you can simply tell your friends no thank you and get away from the crowd that is just choosing the wrong. Choose your friends wisely to be at a lower risk of making bad actions.When you’re out at the park with your family you should know what good from bad is an example of this quote is like if you are having fun with your siblings and then a friend sees you and dares you to do something you know isn't right and you do it that is putting yourself in many issues with your family because you decided to not think about that action and just do it but you knew it was wrong. Always look back and think twice or even more than twice if you need to the important part is you being able to realize the bad from the good. The only way for you to realize is by thinking according to your actions.  The good actions will only bring you goodness. Bad actions that you decide to make will only bring you bad consequences. Nobody desires to have a bad life. The actions you make are depending on you. Every single action you make can either affect you or support you in a good way. It is better to make good choices and feel proud about yourself.It really is impossible to do bad and feel good.

Quote “ Act well your part , there all honour lies” .

By~ Alexander Pope

Reflection~ If you learn to act right when doing things you feel honored when you do those things in a good way. When you do bad you can’t feel good. If you choose the right when making actions in your life at the end you’ll only feel honored about. But, when you do bad you can not ever feel honored about that. Its like you should only feel honored when you choose the right choices in your life. An example of this would be if a young teenager decides to cheat on his/her test by giving other classmates the answers to the test this not only affecting his education but the other classmates as well because they aren’t learning anything by cheating on the test. So they all decided to choose the wrong and when the teacher honors only those who did the test on their own and studied hard for the test there not going to feel honored only those worked hard will feel honored by the teacher since all the others chose the wrong theres no possible way they can feel honored. They will feel unhonored since they were cheaters.The choices you make is what will reflect your good name. Even if you choose the wrong only once that will ruin your good name. Choosing the wrong will never get you close to feeling honored in your life. You have to choose what you want in life but choose the right. Choosing the right will keep you busy and it would benefit you because you won’t get into problems. At times it can be hard but it shouldn’t  be if it is something you love doing. Acting well should be a thing that makes feel honored. Really you should prefer being honored by others while you live your life because it is amazing. Being honored makes you feel proud about yourself.
