"set your goals high and dont stop till you get there."

Bo Jackson

This is a great goal that i have always believed in i think it is great to set  high goals as long as you're  going to try your hardest to reach it. You can never give up as much as you might think that it is the hardest thing that you have ever done. I have lived by this quote for many years I do set very high goals for myself some might not think they are attainable but I no I can do it and i wont stop until I do reach it. For example my goal is to get straight A's every report my family didnt think i could to it with my math class I set my goals the highest possible and so far I have achieved and I will continue achieving them until the day that I finish and am not graded on all of my assignments.

It only takes one person to choose the right for other people to take action as well. Such as in the video the man began alone and as more and more people heard the solo artist became a group, a group of random people who wanted to join in choosing the right.

Together Everyone Achieves More

ANON

This statement reminds me a lot when me and my family used to hike every single sunday, It seemed as if when we walked together we could accomplish more. For example my sister in law would always try to give but when we were there she couldnt because we would push her to continue and together we made it to the top. Another example would be if the United States ever actually wanted to have a better economy better society we need to do it as one if not all it will lead to is controversy which leads to disagreements which can lead to things like the republicans taking a break making the government temporarily shut down. One can always do more together 2 is better than 1.

" Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds... you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds..."

Anon

It is your decision whether you want to succeed in life or fail, success is all up to the person if you have achieved what youve always wanted to do then you have gained success. For example if all your life youve had one thing on your mind you will make that dream come true its up to you whether what you have been thinking about is good or bad. For example since my  brother was small he had one thing on his mind and that was going to college he let this dream grow and grow and one day he achieved that goal. 

Far before I entered high school there has always been one thing on my mind going to college. Questions like  which colleges will i get accepted to? will i get accepted? how do i get a scholarship? what will i major in? So far becoming a doctor is my set goal and it is always on mind i believe that i can make it, one thing is saying another thing is doing.

“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship”

By definition sportsmanship is fairness in following the rules of a game. Good sportsmanship shows ones true character. Some examples of good sportsmanship would be congratulating your opponent on their victory, playing by the rules, not getting angry if losing, no cheating. When you show good sportsmanship you will show your character and people will admire you for it rather than being seen as a fool for getting very angry and not respecting the fact that you lost. No one wants to play with someone who has bad sportsmanship that always wants to win and gets angry when they don’t. For example when my nephew was smaller he always liked to race me up the stairs if I didn’t let him win he would start crying and throw this huge tantrum. Another example is my little niece whenever we are all playing hide and go seek and we tag her she gets very upset and starts saying that it I s not fair, that there should be a do over. To this day I will not play with my niece because anything anyone does when we are playing a game they will get upset and after a while the game just isn’t fun anymore. That goes to show that you need good sportsmanship for people to want to play with you because if you don’t everyone will probably want to stay away from you, and you will be seen as the annoying one. When someone has good sportsmanship they are fair players and they can take a loss but they will come back to try their best again. When having good sportsmanship people will really look up to you for it because they see that you are a great person to have a good game with. When you play fair you also feel good about yourself, knowing that you played your best but in the end the better man won.
