   " it may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today" ~James F. Clarke       

      What ever you do today is what impacts what you do tomorrow. Lets say that you fall while playing soccer; you will be injured for a couple of days. Another example is if you do something nice for someone it will come back to you. My mother has always told me that we must always be nice and wise about decisions because we don't  know the type of war other people may be fighting themselves. She tells me this because if I get good grades and do well in school I will be able to go to the college i want to go to. If I am kind to others others will be kind to others. We must know to choose the right because with one moment of choosing the wrong we will be affecting our near future. For example, if we have a really close friend they talk about us behind our back we must let them go because we are only putting yourself down.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly"~ Otto Graham, Jr.

                              On Sunday afternoon a friend and I decided to go to the 99 cents store to buy whiteboard markers for teachers whom markers didn't work. I decided that I should've bought two packs of 3 markers. But I saw a man who only had $1.75 to pay for his stuff and I had a extra quarter so that the elderly man had two dollars, so he could just put 10 cents more. The man was so grateful because instead of buying two packs of markers I bought one so that the man could enjoy his products. I remember walking to the line of the cashier and seeing a old fragile man who was limping without his cane. I felt so bad for the man so I deiced to help him out. Another occasion happened in Sunday too. A woman was asking for money for her kids to have food. I gave her $5 my brother got mad because it was "too much money". But my mom saw how sorry I felt and she told him " if the woman lied then she lied but that Fatima did a right thing by helping other she did the right thing".  Which means that she is right, the woman or whoever could lie but if you have a good heart and give to someone in need you did was right by giving. But they did something bad by lying.

But since multiple holidays came up they changed George Washington's birthday into presidents day; were we get to celebrate all presidents.There are multiple ways to respect and honor the presidents which are cooking for the family and showing up at historic president museums. I show respect by taking a day off of school to honor them and their hard work. 

happy valentine's day

          happy valentine's day 

                         Valentines day is known to be the day that friends and lovers exchange gifts. But it wasn't meant to exchange gifts; on the contrary it was meant to honor a christian and ancient roman saint named st. Valentine. There are multiple background legends about st. Valentine. One takes place in the roman empire where Valentine was a priest at the time when Claudius II was emperor. And at the time Claudius said that men who were single worked better for the war than a man who was married and had a family. valentine in the other hand was continuously marring young lovers in secret. Of course Claudius found out and killed Valentine. In another story it was said that Valentine was put to death because it was said that Valentine helped out Christians who were imprisoned in harsh roman prisons. According to the legend Valentine himself sent the first valentine card to a girl who had visited him while in prison. Basically all his story's have him being heroic and romantic. Back in the day rituals were priest having a feast while the whole city. Soon after later in the day girls from all around the country would write their name in urn and men would then pick one out which is mostly likely to lead to marriage. Now Valentines day is known for the day of romance. There is some valentine cards from back in the day that were found and seemed really cute. Well this all I have soooo HAPPY VALENTINES DAYS !!!!!

student success statement

"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
             





   I personally prefer to be alone than in bad company. My mom has always told me that friends I have zero because if I weren't to be in public school I wouldn't have friends and my only friends would have to be my mom and dad. Which is completely true, but I remember in freshman year I was so stupid that I hanged out with the wrong crowd. Maybe I still do but I do notice that I hang out with more good quality people. For example I have a lot of guy friends at my work at the catholic church and they have taught me a lot. They always tell me that I should always be humble, loyal, kind, smart, etc. But to never be tempted to be in the wrong path. And honestly I take that to to heart because those words have taught me to be a better person. I even talked to my mom about what they tell me and she tells me that they are right. Therefore I rather be with good quality people than with the bad people; because when  I hanged out with the bad I was bad too. But now that I hang out with the good I feel pretty good.

" right is right only when entire" ~ Victor Hugo

        When you decide to do what is might you must be able to it because you want to not because someone else told you to. When I see an older lady at the community church I work at and she is having issues going up or down the stairs I want to help her because she struggles. So I know I do it out of kindness but when I am told to do something because my mom tells me to I know I didn't want to do it out of kindness. And at my church we put up booths were we sell foods and people want to go ahead and cut in line. So after they lie to the bender and say they have been waiting for hours when they haven't. But what is more sad is that they are at church and they are lying. Therefore they are choosing the wrong. Another example is when you don't want to get in trouble so you say some parts that are true and other parts that aren't. You are also choosing they wrong. you must tell the truth so that you are able to be trusted. Therefore you must tell the truth and do something good because its coming from your heart not because someone told you to do it.
