Life Planning Progress

I have achieved 24 out of 106 of my goals. My progress hasn’t been that great because I set a lot of long term goals rather than things I can just do on a normal day. Although, the goals I have achieved were meaningful to me so im still pretty proud. I look forward to coming up with more goals and achieving them.

Do the Right Thing

In a game between Western Oregon and Central Washington, a senior named Sara hit her first home run, but when she forgot to touch first base she quickly turned and torn her ACL. She couldn't walk and her teammates weren’t allowed to help her. Neither she nor the team knew what to do. Until a girl named Mallory on the other team asked the umpire if she could carry her around to touch the plates. He said that would be okay and Mallory and her teammate Liz helped carry Sarah to home plate. These showed very good sportsmanship and they left the game aside to help another person even if it may have hurt their chances of winning.

“A promise must never be broken”

Alexander Hamilton

I agree with this quote very much. Promises are important to me, I have never broke one. Most people find it shocking when I tell them that but it really isn’t all that hard; just don’t make promises you can’t keep. In my opinion keeping your promises shows that you’re a loyal and trustworthy person.

“My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

In my opinion this quote is trying to say that we have a choice to choose between right and wrong. We should not make choices based upon if they are cheaper, more popular, or easier. We should follow this principle so that our decisions will not be wrong.
