"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle 

When i read this quote i think of the definition or it is that a a rudder does for a boat. A rudder is the part of the boat that makes it run. Now if you put this symbolism into the words you'll know what it mean. Its basically saying that a man who does not have a goal does not run. A person without a goal will only wonder around without knowing what to do. But if that person has a rudder then they will run and find their path much easier. Its easier to put a goal in mind because it helps a person keep going. Usually when a person loose site of what they want they tend to give up. But if they set a goal in mind its harder to simply gibe up. Because you know you have somewhere to go.

If there is beauty in character, 

there is harmony in the home. 

If there is harmony in the home, 

there will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character, 

there will be peace in the world. 

Chinese Proverb

When i read this proverb i think of the hidden meaning. By this i mean how beauty is being compared to character. They do not mean beauty as in the outside but in the inside. I do believe that the beauty in the inside is what matters and by your character being beautiful then you yourselves are a wonderful person. Because its the actions that speak louder than words.

The Six Pillars of Character 

Trustworthiness:Honesty, don't deceive, cheat, or steal, have courage, be reliable, be loyal etc. For example its just when someone tells you to tell the truth about a event.  

Respect:fallow the golden rule, be tolerant and accepting, consider the feelings of other, deal peacefully with anger, insults and disagreements etc. Its just like what people are always told treat others like you wish to be treated.

Responsibility: do what you have to do, keep trying, think before you act, set a good example etc. If you have somewhere to be and you promise you have to keep that promise.

Fairness:be open minded, play by the rules, don't blame others for your actions, treat others fairly etc.Never take one side over the other its the golden rule. 

Caring:help people in need, be kind, express gratitude etc. If you can help some you should, because you should not ignore the big issue. 

Citizenship: obey laws and rules, be a  good neighbor, volunteer, protect the environment etc. You always want to keep the place you live in a good environment no matter what. 

I believe this are rule to apply because this gives people a better chance. Which is why i want to fallow them in order to give a chance or change.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." 

Sophocles 

When i read this quote i think he mean he would rather take the long road than the short one. If one start thinking the short road is the one that a person takes when they cheat. When someone cheats they automatically go somewhere or fail in life. Cheating isn't the answer to anything because then one knows that you do not deserve what you have, While when someone takes the long road they live a life that is peaceful. This is because they worked to where they are at, they did not cheat they took the long bumpy road. Which so happens to be the best type of road since that is were someone learns.

Memorial Day 

Memorial Day is a holiday held on the last week of May, meaning it is held on May 25. Unofficially this holiday also marks the beginning of summer. This holiday is a type of honor since we honor the life's of men and women who died serving the U.S arm forces. This holiday become official in the late 1971 which so happens to be after the civil war. Many families and people honor and pay tribute during memorial day by visiting the family member or by attending parades. In other cases their are some beaches that place flags on the ground in honor. It is still unclear of where the holiday exactly took place in the beginning but we do know it was for the fallen soldiers of the civil war. During memorial day i usually go to the beach and pay tribute by placing a flag in the sand.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values." 

Dennis Prager 

When i read this quote by Dennis Prager i think he means that having a good morality is what keeps a person stable. Taking into account that every person cannot always be honest or not fall for temptation he means that having a good morality about oneself can help in life. In reality being a good person and doing what fits into the world is what can make something about a person. Meaning as long as you do something with a kind thought then it is good.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong." 

Wilford Woodruff 

When i read this quote i think about what everyone gets when do right. By that i mean action, attitude and such. But what if one person does what it is wrong. Then their entire life can be compromised. By this i mean that bigger issues can arise and the issues can never end. Meaning if someone does what is right then they will be set for life. Because in the end they worked hard to get where they are at. 

LAUSD: Families 

 Parents and Community Resources: This site of the webpage allows parent to download school forms in any language. I know how sometimes it is a struggle for parent to receive papers they understand. 

   Volunteers: LAUSD also provides with the opportunity for parents to volunteer. In this case it allows parents to be closer to the child through education. Also sometimes having parents around in school can help kids focus more. 

ESC: This program is controlled by LAUSD. Through this programs parents opinion are taken into account. Later to be used for school purpose

This services benefit everyone. Due to the fact that the school takes into account outside opinion. My family would probably use ESC simply because it is where LAUSD listens to our ideas.

"Dare to stand alone." 

Thomas S. Monson 

When i read this quote i think it refers to all the bad situations. Its basically saying don't be afraid to be alone in a choice if your know its right. Most of the time people tend to fallow the bad decisions of other people simply because others stand by those decisions. But what if you stand alone then maybe everything in your life will go smoothly. It is not right to fallow bad decisions simply because others are doing them. Which is why a person should not be afraid to stand alone in these situations. 

The Green Mile 

The movie The Green Mile  is a very emotional and heard warming movie. It is about a men who is wrongly accuse of raping and killing to little girls. But in reality god gave him the power to cure people, but when he cures people he feels all the pain they had felt. The problem with this little girls was that it was too late for them to be saved. Later when he goes to jail he is taken into the green mile(reference to the tiles that are green and long, and when someone reaches the end they are electrocuted to death). Which is why it is call the green mile because it seems like walking a mile before death. Anyway while the African American is in this prison, he meets a men. A white men that listens to his story only because he, the African american, cured him from a disease. Later in the end when the white men tries to save him he is too late since the guy was already killed. Now the movie is being told by the young man Paul( main character) since he has lived for more than a 100 years, and as punishment to letting the other man die he has watch his entire family and friends die before him.
