I think what this quote means is that you always need to do the right thing. You have to set examples for others so they can do the right thing too. Some examples of doing the right thing would be helping someone in need, donating to charity or to an animal shelter, helping someone carry their groceries, or cleaning up around your neighborhood. It sets a good example when you do this because other people know it is the right thing to do and they will begin to do the same thing. I think it is important to do the right thing because it makes other people feel happy and when you see that they are happy that makes you happy so it makes you do more good things. I like seeing people happy because it lets me know that there are still good things in this world. making people happy counts as doing the right thing.

"Its better to be alone than to be in bad company." I think what this quote means is that its better to be alone that to have friends who have a bad influence on you. When you have friends who have bad influence on you then you might start to change and start to act like them because you w+ant to fit in and you don't want to disappoint them. I have had friends like that who acted horribly and disrespectfully to everyone around them even each other. I stopped being their friends because I didn't want that to happen to me and I noticed that i was changing and so did my family. I thought that if I acted like them I would fit in but then I realized that it doesn't matter if you fit in or you don't. I found new friends who pushed me to to my very best. My grades improved and I had people who actually cared about me and I had more friends because of it. I'm still friends with them to this day because we respect and care about each other. We are there for each

My thanksgiving week was fun I went out and watched movies and I spent time with my family for Thanksgiving. I read my book for my independent reading assignment and I did my book report right after. I went to Oxnard to visit family and had a lot of fun with my cousins. I watched my favorite T.V show. I went out with my grandma to the movies because she wanted to go watch the movie Coco so I joined her so she wouldn't be alone. I also went to the mall to go buy some clothes that I have been wanting. On Thanksgiving day everyone brought a different dessert I wanted to try them all but I didn't want to risk it and get sick. Besides all of the things I did I just stayed home and watched T.V or stayed on my phone. I had fun over break I stayed at my grandmas the entire time but I had fun.

"Develop the attitude of gratitude" I think what this quote means is that people need to start being grateful for all they have because not everyone can have all of that. I think that some kids aren't even grateful for all of the things they have because they want more and more and they aren't paying attention to what they really need. I am grateful for all that I have because I understand the difficulty and the importance of gratitude. I think that people who get everything they ask for need to be grateful and thankful for what they have. The people who aren't grateful I consider them to have bad manners. I was taught to be grateful for everything I have. I was taught to treat others with respect and gratitude counts as respect.

1. Can people trust me to do whats right? 2. Am I committed to doing my very best? 3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated? "If the answers to these questions are yes, there is no way you can fail." 1. I think that people can trust me to do whats right because I am always trying to do whats right and I would never let anyone down. I wouldn't want to change the way people see me because I am not that type of person. Yes, people can trust me to do the right thing. 2. I think this is true because I am very committed to doing my best. I would never want to become something that I didn't feel was me. I always dio my work and I never let anyone down because then I wo;d feel bad about it. 3. I think this is also true because i always treat others the way I want to be treated. I have been raised to know right from wrong and I would never

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." I don't really agree with this quote but at the same time I do agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is true that physical fitness is key to a healthy body. What I don't agree with is you need to be fit and strong and healthy in order to be intelligent. No one needs to be fit to be smart because you become smart from learning not by being fit. There are so many smart people in this world and i'm very sure that not all of them are fit and healthy as other people and that's OK. Not everyone needs to be healthy because its life and no one is perfect. What matter is that they feel good about themselves and are proud of themselves for all they have achieved. No one needs to be healthy or fit to b

"Kindness is the essence of greatness." I think that this quote means that in order to have greatness you need to have kindness. People who have kindness live a great life because they are spreading their kindness to others. It makes people feel good and it makes them want to do the same for others. I would want to live a happy life full of kindness because I would want others to treat me with kindness too. People who treat others with kindness are good people because they know the importance of it. They know that there needs to be more kindness in the world.
