This is very true, when you do the right thing it goes with you for the rest of your life. What you do today can influence what happens to you tomorrow and possibly your whole life. This is why doing the right thing is something that we should all be doing because it really does make a difference but we just don’t see at the moment.

                           “Bless You”

Whenever someone sneezes you say “bless you” or hear someone else say these words.

There are many places and reasons where the saying “bless you” came from, one is believed to be that Pope Gregory the 7^th suggested saying “God bless you” so that it would protect a person from death because this was during the bubonic plague. Another is that the soul was form of air that resided in the head, when some sneezed they thought that their soul came out so saying “God bless you” would prevent it from coming out.

I think that Rachel Castillo is a great person who will get what she deserves. Not many people would have dine what she did, and i think she is a very good example of what people should be more like. I would have wanted to keep the money i'm not going to lie, it was a lot of money, but it is so great to see that there are people out there who still do the right thing and think of others besides themselves.

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.”

                   -Otto Graham, Jr.                                         

                 

This is such a great statement. I think that everyone’s mistake is that they never stop to think if something is right or wrong they just go ahead and do it. They do it because their friends tell them to or just because everyone is doing it, I think this is very sad because we should all stop and think even if it’s just for a minute. I think that if people would stop and think even for just a moment, it would make the difference of a lifetime.

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company”

                                      -George Washington

                   

This is such a powerful quote. I think this quote is saying the truth in every way. If you want to have a good reputation and have the right type of influence then you need to surround yourself with people that are of good quality. This doesn’t only make you look good but it’s also a much better aspect for you to have, if a person were to be hanging out with someone of bad influence they are going to end up doing something bad themselves.

“Right is right only when entire.” –Victor Hugo

I think this is true because if your only telling a little of the truth it does not count as the truth because that is a lie. The only way that something can be the truth is if it’s all the truth. I think this is very true and it’s something that I would like to live by because I think that honesty is something that is super important and it opens so many doors.

“In life as in football you won’t go far, unless you know where goalposts are.”                   -Arnold H. Glasgow

  

In my opinion this something true. Knowing where the goalposts are like knowing where your goals are, knowing how far you’re going to go to get to them. Once you know where you’re headed there is nothing that can stand in your way. Sometimes it seems very difficult to get there but nothing is easy and if you really want something, there is nothing that can stop you. 

Basketball

James Naismith is the inventor of basketball.

He invented basketball in 1891, while working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts.

James Naismith invented basketball because at YMCA, they needed at sport to play indoors because it was too cold outside for football or baseball.

In the beginning of basketball every time you scored you had to get the ball from the basket because it still wasn’t an open circle in the bottom.  

At first basketball was played with a peach basket and soccer like ball. Back then there were only 13 rules.

The first game was 9 vs. 9.

   

Tona and Christian 

Tona is an elderly woman who went to go visit her husbands grave, and while she was visiting her husbands grave she was mugged.  Then a couple hours later the mugger was caught they put his picture on the t.v and his son Christian recognized him. Christian wanted to meet up with Tona to apologize for his dad, he felt that she needed an apology. Christian's dad had given him $250 that he needed for a band trip but ha gave them back to Tona. Tona gave the money back to Christian and said that he is and amazing person for doing what he did. I think that what christian did really was amazing what person does this anymore. It really warms my heart to know that there are still good people in this world and that just because your parents aren't the best people in the world it doesn't mean that you have to be the same.

“Only those live who do good.”

       -Count Leo Tolstoy

I think this very true because in the sense of having a good life and living it feeling good about you, the only way to do so is by going what good. If you’re always doing badly then you’re not going to be living a good life because you won’t feel good about yourself and there will always be a sense of guilt following you around. Then are going to be people who don’t want to be around you because they know the type of person that you are and even if you really do try to change, nobody will really believe you because they only see you for the bad thing that you have done.
