“Kindness is the essence of greatness”

This is a true statement because you will be able to reach greatness through kindness. This happens because kindness will lead you in the right direction. The right will always give you something good in return. If you are not kind then you will most likely end up choosing the wrong. There is no way you can chose the wrong without repercussions. These repercussions will hold you back on your way to greatness. So kindness will only puts you it the path to greatness wil not being kind will not.

Thanksgiving week

It start off how i expected it would just me relaxing at home. Then on Saturday night my parents just announced that we were going to visit my brother in TJ. which was fine because my sister and i hadn’t seen him in a while. We drove there at night because my dad was working during the day. It was dark and raining which i really enjoyed. When we got there we did a bunch of stuff we went out for food, we bought movies, went to a park, and visited other family. The park was really fun because it had go carts which we got on and golf carts which we rented. On thanksgiving day we took food to my grandpas house and made chicken (since my family doesn't like turkey), mashed potatoes, salad, and some crane molida. So overall this was a good thanksgiving break.

“If it is not right, do not do it: if it is not true do not say it”

These wise words can keep any one out of trouble. It will do that because you can't do right and get wrong. So if you do the right course of action you will be rewarded. The only way you won't be is by doing the wrong. If you do the wrong you will have to suffer the consequences which are never good. Plus saying things that are wrong won't ever get you anything. You won't ever get anything good if you speak wrongly. Plus that and choosing the wrong will only make people think less about you. You might not be invited because people will know how you choose the wrong and say wrong things. But do right and say true and good things and you will be know as a good person. And doors open mostly just to good people. So do right sand speak the truth.

Thanksgiving

The first thanksgiving occurred when the pilgrims decided to share a meal with the local natives in 1621. This thanksgiving was not a one big meal though it was a three day event the ate, had entertainment, and hunted. The natives killed five deer so venison was first on the menu while turkey was not. The tradition did not continue the following year though. In 1789 george washington declared thanksgiving a national holiday every november thursday november 26. This did not become an annual tradition until the 19th century. Sera josepha hale was inspired by a dairy of pilgrim life to recreate thanksgiving. She started protest in 1827 and finished in 1857 during this time she passed the recipes for pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, turkey, and cranberry sauce. Then in 1863 during the civil war abraham lincoln decided that thanksgiving would be on the final thursday of november every year. But in 1939 president roosevelt decided to move it up a week. This decision was widely criticized so in 1941 the put it back to the fourth of every november where it stays today.

“Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

This is true because winning by cheating or being dishonorable isn't winning. It isn’t winning because if you have a conscience it will destroy you. It won't let you think about how you aren't worthy to be called the winner the champ because you cheated your way to the top. Plus only the true winners get the praise and respect of others. Dirty and dishonorable people won't get praised only people who are fair, choose the right, and are honorable. Plus it will only feel great if you make your way to the top through hard work.

Veterans day is when you honor american troops both alive or dead. That what makes it different from memorial day which only honors the dead. Veterans day occurs every november 11th. It is important to show respect because these men and women went to hell to fight for our freedom and rights. We can show honor and respect to veterans by simply saying thank you because it's such a small but very significant thing to do. You can also donate or support the uso who was been taking care of our troops for 70 years.

I feel that veterans day should always remain as long as america still stands. I feel this way because these brave women and men all fought to the end for america so america should remember them to the end. I also believe that this holiday is a great thing for veterans. Veterans day will also remind us what war was like since veterans talk about it. They tell us how terrible it was but they also tell us if it was worth it.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”

This quote is true because who you hang out with will affect you. You may not realize it but people will have an influence on you. Like having a friend who choose the right thing you will see the good results. Therefore next time a situation that is similar you will be more inclined to do the right thing. Then you will be rewarded and you won't soon forget that so you will get nothing but good. But just like good impressions can influence you so can the bad ones. They are even more influential because they are so easy to do while the good ones will always be harder. Only those who don’t realize the greatness of doing good will follow the bad. This bad will only bring repercussions so eventually it will destroy them.

“The best recreation is to do good”

This is true because when you want to start all over again you best do good. If you don't then how is it going to be any different the second time around. For example when you do drugs and you recreate yourself but you don’t stay away from drugs you will be in the beginning all over again. You recreated yourself wrong but if you would have done it good then you stay away from drugs and drug users. That is doing good and choosing the right. And by always choosing the right and doing good you're  recreating could never go wrong.  Also if you are a gambler you going to want to do good by you and your family. You would want to stop wasting that money on useless things and want to use it on you family. That would be choosing the right and doing good. Doing wrong would be recreating yourself and still waste your money on useless things like alcohol and drugs. You stop gambling but you did wrong in a different way.
