          A dress has taken the internet by storm. Millions argued over the true color of the dress, whether it is gold and white or black and blue. It’s said that the dress is an experiment by a college student.  At first sight I saw it gold and white then a couple a minutes later it appeared to be BLACK AND BLUE! I don’t know the true color of the dress or why people see it to be different colors. There are different theories as to why but who knows which is true.

“The true way to honor the past is to improve upon it.”

I think this quote is saying to learn from  your mistakes. Instead of having regrets, call them “lessons learned”. Learning from your mistakes is what makes it worth it. Have no regrets.

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

James Freeman Clark

If you do wrong all your life that’s all you’re ever going to be, another person with bad choices. If you do good and right you may be remembered for some of it. Examples of people who did good and are still acknowledged for it is Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln, Cesar E Chavez and more.

The job of an architect doesn’t seem easy but it’s something I would like to be. Buildings are always being admired in the city, such as in DTLA or New York. I would like one day for people to admire a building I designed. 

Rachel Castillo

Rachel Castillo found a bag full of stacks of money adding up to $36,000 dollars. She also found an id in bag, it belonged to a 76 year old man. Most people in need of money would pretend they didn’t even see the id and keep the money. Rachel didn’t do that, she choose the right and turned the money into the police. It was very kind of her to do that because not only was it the right thing but the man also needed the money, he was sick in the hospital.

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

Otto Graham, Jr.

This quote is telling you to ask yourself if what you think you’re doing is right or wrong. It humbles you because if you’re doing wrong and you know it, the quote says to act “accordingly” and do the right thing.

Valentine’s Day

          Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, even when if I don’t have a valentine. its celebrating the Christian Saint Valentine. I love this day because I like to see the couples get each other cute things. I also just like seeing them be happy together. What I don’t like about Valentine’s Day are all the people that are so sour about it. Instead of being happy for the people sharing the love they get bitter and angry. But if they were the ones in a relationship then they wouldn’t be complaining, hypocrites.

George Washington- Father of the United States of America

 This quote can help you make many right decisions in life. It is saying that if you don’t like the way certain people are treating you then don’t be around them. If your groups of “friends” just make you feel bad and discourage you or make you feel insecure then get some new ones! New friends that will push you to do better and bring you up instead of putting you down. 

“Presidents Day”

        Presidents day is an American holiday, celebrated on the third Monday of February. The purpose of this holiday is to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Some people celebrate now only them but ALL the presidents. A way to show honor on president’s day is by hanging your American flag out.

“Right is right only when entire”

Victor Hugo

 This quote can be referenced when someone’s telling a lie. When someone is telling you the truth but leaving something out then it’s a lie. Just because they didn’t tell you it doesn’t mean they didn’t lie because what if you really needed to know that piece of information. 

Student Success Statement

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where goalposts are.”

Arnold H. Glasgow

 I think in life if you aren’t aiming for something you want then why are you living? If you don’t have something motivating you or pushing you to try harder everyday then you’re going to be stuck. You can only move forward if you want to, that’s why it’s important to set goals for yourself.

History of Basketball

James Naismith a Canadian American invented basketball in 1891. James took a soccer ball and a peach basket into the gym to form a game of basketball. The games consisted of nine player teams, and governed by a set of thirteen rules. In the first game its said that only one shot was made by William Chase. Basketball ball today is different from when it first started because the hoop is opened instead of closed like the basketball net they first used. It’s also not played with nine players anymore just five. Some rules remain the same while others were changed.

“Only those live who do good.”

Count Leo Tolstoy

  In my opinion this quote is saying if you live a life of bad you’re just waiting for your negative consequences. You won’t get to enjoy life properly. If you live doing well you can just relax and live your life in happiness.

“What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”

Howard Cosell

 

I like this quote, it can change someone’s perspective of thinking. Basically its saying the most popular choice isn’t always the right one. Just because many people are making the same dumb decision it doesn’t mean you have to. It’s like when your mom would say, “If ____ were to jump off a bridge you would too?”
