“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” –Charles Ketterer

Reflection:

The best way for anyone to predict their future is to start brainstorming and letting out your ideas of what you would like to do in the future. You only know what you would like to do, who you’d like to be in, and why you want to do certain things in the future. So don’t just sit there and feel like if the future is going to create itself you must take action and decide what you want to do with your life. The future begins with your actions and ends with no determination. The hardest part is starting but you’ll find strength on the way and you will achieve till the end.

“Righteous community unity starts with ONE upright soul, whether it is a community of family members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone.” –Mr. Haymore

Reflection:

 It takes the courage of one person to stand up for unity. The rest will follow if they have the desire for unity. One small step can make a big change. Be the difference and stand up for what you want. Work together and you will succeed.

 “You will become as great as your dominant aspiration (goal)”                   - James Allen

Reflection:We all have dreams when we are children but only those who pursue there dream will achieve it. We all dream to become someone in life but sometimes those dreams are broken by situations in life. We should never give up on our dreams because there the ones that will takes us far in our life. We should become what we dream because even if it seems foolish to others, it means a lot to that individual. Don’t give up on achieving your dream, as long as you keep walking on the path that will lead you to rightousness you will succeed. If you decide to become something little you will become that but if you aim for the highest, the dream that everyone else is afraid to pursue, you’ll be the successful one. Always choose the right.

 “Tell me what is right and I’ll fight for it.”  

–Woodrow Wilson 

Reflection:  This quote means to me that when i know what’s the right thing to do i will fight and do whatever it takes to do it without caring if doing what’s wrong is the right  for others. I must have courage and strength to stand up and always choose the right. 

The Sting of the Scorpion

            Video Reflection
This story was about a 7 year old boy that was on a camping trip at the dessert with his family. While they were in the desert the little boy asked his parents if he could go walk around. His parents told him to wear his shoes while walking. The little boy was too lazy and didn't obey his parents and decided to wear flip flops and went wondering around.While he was walking he felt a sting on his leg and when he looked down it was a scorpion that bit him. He started to yell and his parents rushed him to a near by hospital which was only 2 hours away. On the way to the hospital he had a very severe pain on his leg, when he got to the hospital the doctor injected the boys leg with an antibiotic to numb his leg and reduce the pain he felt. After this situation the boy learned to always do what his parents say and he learned to not let his laziness stop him from choosing the right. 
This situation taught me that every bad decision we make will always come with a consequence that will feel like a sting of a scorpion.

“I have 3 messages:

    1) We should never, ever give up.

   2) You are never too old to chase your dreams.

   3) It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.”

                    - Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

Reflection: These words were said by a woman who was strong and brave enough to reach her goal. This teaches me that along your journey to reach your goal we should be strong and willing to get there and to not give up, no matter what happens. A dream can start at a very young or even an old age but the only way to achieve it is to go after it. In anything you do, you will always need support it could be a family member or even your friend. But most of all you need is Courage and Perseverance. It takes time to reach goals, so be Patient.
