'' Only those who live who do good.'' - Count Leo Tolstoy This quote is agreeable. If you live your life off of bad acts, then you have not lived. A life well spent is a life full of good. Without any good in ones life, they would be miserable. You must realize the importance of making the right choices in your life. Every time you choose wrong, your life looses its meaning and purpose. Do not let your life waste away. For example, if someone has been a bad person and done terrible things all their life, then they really did not live. Living is about what you make out of it when good is involved. If someone has chosen the right path and has made the right decisions, then they lived a life of prosperity and welcoming. Live a life of good. A life without good is a life well wasted. Always do good at every chance you get. Train yourself to be better.

''What's  right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right.'' - Albert Einstein  I agree with this quote. Acts of pure good are not usually done. Usually it is the bad influences that are so commonly at the norm. People might not want to do good things because they may be afraid of judgement. They might think they will be seen as weak or too pure. Examples of popular things that aren't necessarily good is binge drinking. It is obviously not a safe or rational thing to do, yet, many people around the world continue to do so. Things are only popular because everyone is afraid of letting the good be shown. You never hear about people randomly doing acts of kindness unless its charity or funding. It is about time we let the good things in the world become that looked upon.   People who have willingly done something or given back when it wasn't called for should be the names to be known. Instead everyone knows the names of those who

'' I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.'' - Dr. Ben Carson I do not really agree with this statement. While it mat be true that poverty can eventually be overcome, many out there do work hard and give it their all at what they do yet they still do not escape. There are two ways to work hard at something. Sometimes you get what you want, other times things remain the same. This quote can not always be held true. There is a key element that breaks this from being true, education. You can work hard all you want but not go far because of lack of an education. Without education your efforts will mean nothing. Education can be in many forms. Education is the real key to success, without it efforts will not do much good. At times poverty is not a choice, lack of education will forever hold a family down. While some may be lucky to mov

'' Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.'' - Russell M. Nelson I agree with this quote. This quote is trying to say to never follow bad examples just because it is the popular example. Never follow others into doing something wrong. Do the right thing, even if it is the unpopular decision. For example, if everyone is doing a certain drug, it does not mean you should join the crowd. It is ok to stand alone, if it means making the right choice. Don't be afraid of the criticism that may follow due to your choice.  The judgement should not matter. In the end knowing you made the right choice should be enough. Wrong can never be right. No one should convince you into believing it can be made different. If you know something is bad, do not wait around for it to become good. Do not follow the crowd. They never lead into anything good. Be alone with the right choice.

'' You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right.'' - Thomas S. Monson I agree with this quote. You can never be right by doing something wrong. Wrong can never be right. You can never go wrong by doing what is right. Right and wrong are like the directions themselves, they will never change. Right will never be wrong. It is important to understand what is right to do. If something gives you happiness and has no negative affect to others or your surroundings, then it is not a bad thing. But if something leaves you with a guilty conscience, then it probably is not the right thing to do. Follow your conscience when you have trouble understanding whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Do not take part in something you know is wrong. You cannot make wrong right no matter how hard you may try. That is why it is important to do the right. Avoid the wrong and all it will put you through. You can never go wrong by doing what is right

''ENTHUSIASM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE'' - by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale Enthusiasm does make a difference. If you feel motivated for anything, then your action will not be a bore. If you hold a positive outlook, then anything will have a positive reaction. If you go into school feeling down and prepared to do nothing, then you will amount to nothing at the end of the day. Having a good mindset can take you a long way. I agree with the quote even if I myself am not very enthusiastic at times. Not only will you achieve your goals with enthusiasm, but you will attract others in a social aspect. People prefer someone energetic than to someone who is always blue. There really is a big difference between the negative and the positive. Be happy and the results will show. Put effort into every action you take. Try to limit the negativity in your life. Be enthusiastic by looking at the positive side. Think of the endless possibilities. Leave doubt behind. Keep moving foward

'' I WASN'T TRYING TO LEAVE A LEGACY. I WAS TRYING TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT.''- DEAN SMITH This quote speaks of humbleness. It is not about having a winning mindset. It is about having the mentality to always try and give it your best. If all you are thinking about is winning, then you are only inspired by greed. You will not get very far if you ignore the journey. You cannot only focus on the ending point. Dean Smith never thought about himself or his pride. He always put his team first above all. He is an example to follow. It is one of the golden rules of life, do what is right. Never mind the results, as long as you do what is right. You can never choose the wrong and expect to walk out free or as a winner. If all you care for is yourself, you will never live life the right way. Do not think of winning, think of doing good. Do not leave a legacy of winning, leave a legacy of doing what was right.

For the three weeks that we were off from school, I did quite an array of things. Even is I remained at home the entire time. The first week was not filled with many pass time activities. Since my parents were working, I was sent to my grandmothers house with my sister. I remained there the entire week. I did not do much at her home besides watch some movies, watch my sister, read some chapters on The Green Mile by Stephen King. I spent a majority of my first week binge watching shows such as Greys Anatomy, Criminal Minds, etc. All the while I counted down the days left until Christmas Day was to struck. My second week was a bit more hands on. After Christmas I spent many days building a 3D model of the astronomy tower at Hogwarts ( Harry Potter). I had received this as a Christmas gift from my mother and had spent approximately three days building it. Through patience I managed to succeed in assembling it, however I must admit I had become frustrated a great many times. During that se
