"It may make a difference to
 all eternity whether 
we do right or wrong today."
James Freeman Clark

Reflection: I completely agree with this quote because we may not realize it now, but every little decision we make in our everyday lives if going to affect us in the long-run. For example, if you were to choose to not do one homework assignment because you think you have an A and it wouldn't bring your grade down, that one missing assignment could lead to a habit of not doing any of your work anymore and that really would bring your grade down.

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."
Charles Ketterer

When you visually see your 100+ righteous goals-- you are mentally seeing your future. Now, create your future reality one goal at-a-time, one victory after another.

Reflection: This is a great quote to live by. The best was to know what your future would be or look like would be to create it yourself. For example, if you wanted to graduate high school with an outstanding GPA, you could make it come true by working hard in class, making sure you have all the requirements needed to succeed, and do any extra activities that will make your records shine the brightest above the rest.

"Bless You"

"Bless you"

(Why are these words spoken? 

When did it originate, and where? 

and How did it originate?)

    People believe that this saying originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say "Jupiter preserve you" or "salve" which meant "good health to you". The phrase "God bless you" is attributed to Pope Gregory the Great, who uttered it in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic. These words are spoken because it is used to wish a person blessing in various situations. Also hope of fight off the diseases. They say this when someone sneezes and if you give them something. Or they say that they mean good health to you. People believed a man's soul could be inadvertently thrust from his body by an explosive sneeze. It entered the English language in the early part of the 20th century, brought to the United States by German-speaking immigrants. The various sneeze responses originated from ancient superstitions.

Rachel Castillo

Rachel Castillo 

   A woman named Rachel Castillo had seen a bag on a bench and thought someone had forgotten it. Being the good person that she is she wanted to return it to its rightful owner. When she opened the bag to check for an ID the bag was stuffed with $36,000 and an ID of a 73-year-old man. Rachel thought this was  test of her good being so she did the right thing and called the cops and told them everything that happened. Soon enough, the police were able to identify the money as the elderly man' s and is was returned to him. Rachel did the right thing and instead of keeping all that money for herself she gave it to who was missing it. Because she was raised a Christian, she was taught not to steal and to be a good person.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."
Otto Graham

Reflection: I agree with this quote by Mr. Otto Graham because in situations where you are not sure you must always ask yourself if what you are doing is right or wrong, and if it is right you can continue but if it is wrong you must stop what you are doing and do something else. For example, if you are in a situation where you have to choose between continuing to watch TV or to get a head start on your project, you ask yourself if staying to watch TV is more important that getting a head start and if you feel it is wrong you should start on your project.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to become one? Why or why not?

-I think I would enjoy this job position because all you really have to do is organize files and information and that sounds easy enough for anyone to do. The only down side to this would be the fact that you might stay glued to your chair in front of the computer most of the day.
