“If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for the right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.”

  -   Thomas S. Monson

I agree with this saying. If you believe in something you have to make others listen. You may be the only one but that's fine because if it's something that you truly care for it doesn't matter. If others are going to do something that is wrong, don’t be a part of it. You can’t let others influence you. You have to be a person who chooses the right. Make a stand for yourself and do whats right. Speak up. Do what you believe in. It's important to focus and not mess up your path just to have some fun. This can include being friends with the wrong people.

                     ”Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get.”

                                              Mark Victor Hansen

I agree with Mr.Hansen is this statement. When you set a goal you have to go get it. You don’t set goals to not do them. Setting goals is to determine when and how you’ll get something. You have to do what you set your mindset to. Not only that but accomplishing them will make you feel proud of yourself. When setting goals you shouldn't be thinking “oh maybe i’ll get it”, no its thinking “i will get it”. Setting and accomplishing goals shows the kind of person you are. It shows that you are someone who actually does what they say they’ll do. And if you don't do it, it also shows that you are someone lazy. Someone who doesn’t mean what say and aren't true  to their word. You must always be true to what you say and accomplish your goals.

Columbus Day

This holiday occurs in many countries in the Americas. Columbus day became an official holiday in Colorado in 1906. It became a federal holiday in the United States in 1937. Columbus day is used to teach ideals of patriotism. Columbus day celebrates the landing of Christopher Columbus in a new world on October 12,1942. This holiday honors both Columbus’ achievements and celebrates the Italian-American heritage. Columbus set a route to China through a western sea route, instead he landed in the Bahamas. He became the first European to explore the Americas. Later that month he landed in Cuba which was believed to be china. In December the expedition found Hispaniola which he thought was Japan. There he established Spain's first colony with 39 of his men. He returned to Spain in March 1943 in triumph, bearing gold, spices and “Indian” captives.

Reflection: I think that this was a very successful man. He guided men to countries they didn't know. They were able to leave their home, go to a whole different country and explore it. They were able to come back feeling “triumph”. I think that's why he was such an important person. Because he guided 39 men into somewhere they didn't know. They had very limited resources and were able to come back home. Although i think that it was wrong that they intruded a person's territory and claim it to be there's. Not only that but he took some of them captive and took them to their own land for their own pleasures which was wrong. This was their land and they decided to come, take their land and their people.

                                            Obedience

“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block.”

           James E. Faust

At first being obedient can be a hassle. It isn't something you're used to. At first it can be an “irritation”. This is why he says this. You can find it hard to do the right thing and be obedient with it. Overtime it’ll become easier. When you stop thinking of being obedient as a bad thing and start thinking it’s good, it will bring good things. It will start paying off. It can bring you things like material things but it can also bring you knowledge. It will bring you farther in life. It can take you to a peaceful and happy mindset. For example, being good in your job can bring you a higher level or it can bring you more friends. It can also bring you happiness, knowing that you’re doing good. This is how it will become a building block.It will bring you higher up. Not being obedient will only bring you down. It’ll just take you lower.

Student Success Statement

                                          “We learn to do by doing. ”    

I agree with the statement being said. The stuff that we know in life, at some point we didn't know. Everything we know we learned by doing it and having practice. This is kind of like saying you won’t know until you try. In many parts of our lives we hold ourselves back and say that “we can't do it”. But maybe we can. We just don't have the confidence to do it. Because you don't know whether you can do something until you try it. And even if you do try and fail, practice makes perfect. So this is where that saying takes place. “We learn to do by doing.”  We can’t underestimate ourselves. But also you can’t expect to do something and have it at the first try. Because overtime you’ll learn. And you will learn by doing. If we were never to try anything new, we would have no knowledge. Trying new things is important. And it is important not to give up. Even if after many tries something is still difficult, the more you practice the better you will get whatever you want. I think that just as long as you have confidence and patience you can do anything you set your mind to. And by doing it more you will be better at it.

“Being your own person will take you further than what others want you to be.”

                                                                    -Allison Carlos

The reason why i thought about this is because it is truly what i think. You have to be your own person. What this means is that you need to be whoever you want to be. Do whatever you want to do. Live the way you want to. If you go your life by what others want you to be, you will live unhappily. You won't be satisfied with who you are because it isn't truly you. In reality the opinion of others doesn't matter. What matters is being confident in who you are. Being yourself will only cause happiness in your life. Having people like you for what you aren't will only turn onto a hassle later on. You have to be constantly aware of the way you're being because you’re acting as someone you’re not. When you’re truly yourself you can be carefree. And if people don’t like you for you well it doesn't really matter because at least you're being the way you want to be. And you will have your true friends which do like you for who you are. Also you will have lots more fun. Being your own person is better. Be you.
