My summer

My Summer
                My summer was pretty amazing this year. I had fun with my friends at their houses because we are a bunch of goofballs and like to play around. I we would usually play video games, talk, dance around, and eat. Those days would be amazing. One of our favorite things to do would be to play the xbox and play Call of Duty. We always lost to my friend Tany but we didn’t care because we always knew he would win.
                Another thing I did on my summer was go do exercise with my best friend Jodi. We would go for a 30 minute run at the gym. After we would finish the run we would go lift some weights in order to gain some muscle mass because both of us are in love with our legs. We really like to compare our legs to each other because we are silly and just love nice and fit legs. Then I would just hang out at her house until My mom would come pick me up.



LotR Lore Part 2

After he is told about the ring Frodo sets off on his journey to Mount Doom with his best friend Samwise. They are told to stop at the Prancing Pony in the main town of Bree. There, they must speak to a man know as Strider. He helps them travel to Rivendell in the Trollshaws. There they meet with Boromir, Legolas, and Gimli. Gandalf the Gret is there with them as well when they finally decide on taking the ring to Mordor and destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom. When they make it to a forest near Rohan they stop for a minute. The fellowship splits for a brief moment and when Boromir is alone with Frodo, he demands that he hand him the ring. Frodo refuses and as that is happening the orcs and goblins from Sauron's army begin to attack and Boromir fends for himself and Frodo to protect the ring. Frodo is then left unconcious and then Boromir must kill the orcs. Boromir is left fighting the Blackarrow orc and is hit by an arrow but still manages to behead the orc. Strider returns and sees that Boromir is left on the floor dying but the Hobbits, Frodo and Samwise, are no where to be found

Student Success Statement #5

"To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice."
Confucius

Reflection: This is true because if one does not do what is right in the face of wrong then that means you do not have control over your own life because you will have fear of whatever consequence will come. For example, when you see some kids at school vandalizing the restroom then you should go report it. It doesn't matter if they tell you not to because then you would be afraid of what they might do to you.

Que Honda?

I wanted to share with you guys my love for The Lord of the Rings. The lore of this world of Middle Earth is amazing. It all started when Sauron was killed by the King of Men. He cut off his hand and the Ring of Power that was forged in the depths of Mount Doom fell of his finger. Those who wear the ring are given an amazing power to be all able to control the world. Sauron returns in the form of an eye in the land of Mordor. There he watches over Middle Earth to find his lost ring and reclaim the land. Biblo Baggins, a hobbit from the land of the Shire comes across the ring and gives it to Frodo in order to destroy it in the same place it was forged, Mount Doom. 

Student Success Statement #4

"Always Do Right."
Mark Twain

Reflection: He is right. All anything one should do in this world is do the right thing. People will view you as an honest person and you will have their trust. An example would be when Abraham Lincoln walked 5 miles just to give change to a customer. He was a very honest person and people loved him for it. It makes one also feel good that they did what's right.

Student Success Statement #3

"Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time."

Arnold H. Glasgow
Reflection: I believe this is somewhat true. I really believe doing the right thing will make you feel better and sometimes will bring you success but at other times it could make you maybe lose your job for example. If one talks about success as a human in knowing one has good character and is morally well in the world then this is 100 percent correct.

Student Success Statement #2

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do"

Richard L. Evans

Reflection: I believe Richard Evans has a great idea. Some people don't think for themselves and do what others tell them to do in order to be accepted by others. It shows you have control for one's own self when you do things on one's on accord. We should be able do make right from wrong and do things we know will only benefit us and make us feel good about ourselves as human beings.

Student Success Statement #1

Student Success Statement

"Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable."

Peter F. Drucker
Reflection: I believe that doing what's right may not always make you happy, but you will always feel good about making the right decision. This is because you know you did the right thing rather than doing an action influenced by others. It gives you a sense that you are in control of your own life rather than doing something another person would want you to do.
