Student Success Statement

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

- President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: I think what Kennedy means by this quote is that if one has a healthy, strong body, then one has the intelligence capacity of all oneself can have. A healthy body will not distract you from your goals and it will not interfere with your thinking.Unlike having an unhealthy body that will distract you from your goals because you have to focus on your body more than your work. Having a healthy body will keep you sharp and help reach your maximum creativity and intellect level.

Thanksgiving

       Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated every year on the last Thursday of November. The tradition began after the pilgrims and the native Americans harvested for the first time and had plentiful food in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They gave thanks for their food and harvest and for all their help throughout the year.The first real thanksgiving was said to be in 1623 after giving thanks for the rain that ended the drought.

12 things i am grateful for are:

• My family
• a roof under my head   
• the clothes I have
• the shoes on my feet                          
• the food we have
• the electronics I have received 
• music
• friends 
• Harry styles 
• one direction 
• the beaches of California  
• Education

Reflection on Kindness

In the video i watched a young boy reached for the ball that flew into the bleachers, besides him, many other young boys were also reaching for it. the young boy finally caught it but not without leaving the other kid in tears. The boy who caught it, saw how devastated the other kid looked and he decided to give it to him. Feeling guilty over catching the ball was not in his agenda so he was being kind by giving the other boy the ball. In the end, Karma caught up and his kindness was recognized. He received an autographed baseball bat and the first pitch to their next game.

"kindness is the essence of greatness." 

- Joseph B. Wirthlin

reflection: This quote means to me that being great goes hand in hand with kindness. Giving to charity for example shows your greatness because you are showing your worth and your'e being good. Kindness is                                                              the key to greatness and that is it.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." -Marcus Aurelius

reflection: I think this quote means that one must always think about what you are saying and doing before actually acting. One might say something offensive and hurtful to another if we do not think about what we are doing.If you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all.
