Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving all started by a small ship called the Mayflower. The Mayflower was coming all the way from Plymouth, England carrying 102 passengers. They all seeked a new start and they were lured onto the shores of The New World. Once in America, they face brutal winters and they were weakened by malnutrition and illness. They faced many hardships, however they managed to survive. On November 1621, they had their first corn harvest and it was very successful. This was the start of Thanksgiving. I believe that thanksgiving is very important and we should all cherish the good things on life no matter how small or unimportant you think they are.

   Kindness

Ian McMillan is a great and kind young boy. Ian and another young boy were trying to catch a ball that one of the players from his favorite baseball team had thrown. Fortunately, Ian had caught it but, he didn't seem happy. He saw the look on the other boys face and he felt bad because he knew that he wanted the ball too. So he stood up and gave the young boy the ball that he had caught. Everyone realized what he had done and they decided to reward him. They called him over and gave him a baseball bat signed by his favorite player and they also gave him a contract sop that he could go to all of the games from his team for free. That was a great act of kindness that little Ian showed and he got rewarded for it. I believe that all people should be kind like that and if they do act kind towards others, they will get rewarded.

             “Kindness is the essence of greatness.”

                                 - Joseph B. Wirthlin                                                  

I think that quote means that, if you are kind you will be great. For example, people that are not nice are the type of person that other people don’t consider great. If you are mean and you are rude and not ctr person, you will not be considered great by the others around you.

5 seconds of summer from LuisaClifford

             “If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say.”

                                                                  

                                                       Marcus  Aurelius

I think that this quote means that, if there is something that is not true or that is not right, don’t do it or say it because it is not right. You are choosing the wrong and you are not being a ctr person. For example if there is a rumor going around, if you know that it’s not true, you should go spread the rumor even more.

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

 James Freeman Clarke

I think that this quote means that, even if you think that doing the right thing today will not have any effect in the future. You must still do the right thing. It may end up giving a positive effect after all. You should also be a good person and do the right thing because if you don’t it may also end up having a negative effect and end up ruining you.

              Veterans Day

On Veterans Day we celebrate the ending of World War II and we celebrate the service of those who fight for our country. I think that this holiday is really important for us Americans because, it helps us give thanks to the families of the loved ones who they lost at war and give thanks to the ones who survived war. This holiday is celebrated all across America to celebrate the lives of all of our lost soldiers and have a celebration with the ones who luckily came back.

                                                          

Reflection: I am thankful for everyone who has fought for our country and to those who gave their lives for us because, if they wouldn’t have, our country wouldn’t have been the same. I hope that one day all of those families who lost their loved ones can reunite with them someday. 

“Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning 

or losing.” 

Chick Moorman

I think that this quote means that, if you do the wrong thing for example cheat on a test and you get
a good grade, you’re not really winning. On the other hand if you do what’s right and not cheat but
you don’t get a very good score, you are a true winner.

If you hang out with the chickens, you're going to 

cluck, and if you hang out with eagles, you're 

going to fly."- Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically

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

-         Proverbs 13:20

I think that this quote means that, if you surround yourself with good things, you will not be influenced to something wrong. On the other hand of you surround yourself with bad things, you WILL be influenced to do the wrong thing and you will no longer be a CTR person, you will be a CTW person.
