“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

An example of this quote would be how karma works. If you’re a bad person that’s exactly what you will receive back. If you’re a good person you will receive good karma and be happy and fortunate in life.

World Records

1.Largest collection of clocks

The largest collection of clocks belongs to Jack Schoff of the U.S., who has 1,094 different clocks as of June 17, 2008.

2.Largest chalk pavement art

The largest chalk pavement art measures 8,361.31 meters (90,000 feet) and was created by 5,678 children from schools in Alameda, Calif., for the Kids’ Chalk Art Project between May 27 and June 7, 2008.

The record that fascinated me the most is the street art one. I take interest in this record because it was done surprisingly well by children. It’s not important to me if do or don’t ever break a record in my life but it is nice to be recognized for a special ability. 

Student Success Statement

“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.

Licensed Practical Nurse

Student Success Statement

““It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”

(not good)

Joseph Smith

I think this quote is saying that people should be positive influences on each other. Together we should promote acts of kindness and choosing the right. We shouldnt put negative peer pressure among others such as using drugs and alcohol.  

Home Health Aide

Duties and Responsibilities: assist in the lives of the sick, disabled and elderly by keeping a safe living environment for them

Salary: $22,050 per year

Education: complete formal training

I wouldn’t like to specialize in home health aide. I think it’s a good job for people that like taking care of elderly but in my opinion it seems more charitable than an actual job.
