          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.

N. Eldon Tanner

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.  

Architect

Duties and Responsibilities: Architects design buildings and other structures

Salary: median hourly wages of $35.26

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.
