“Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

I think this means that, even though you don’t know what gonna, you have to have faith that everything is going to be alright. Trust that whatever happens, someone will have your back. No matter what happens, you’re in good hands. faith is vital  for any relationship.

“Be strong. You never know who you are inspiring.”

I think this means, wheather you know it or not, you’re inspiring someone. You might know them, they migt know you, but they think you are brave, or kind, or a good cook, or an artist, or a good student. But the point is, they think your good at whatever it is you do. They’re inspired by you. So be strong.

“Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.”

Ziad K. Abdelnour AUTHOR, FINANCIAL ADVISOR

I think this means, to earn ones trust, you have to be loyal, you have to be kind, you have to know when to keep your mouth shut and you need to trust them. If you break someone’s trust, you prove you aren’t loyal, which in turn proves you can’t keep your mouth shut. To keep someone’s trust you are saying “I can handle this friendship”. If you break the trust of someone, they won’t be able to respect you anymore, it’s just a lose ,lose situation. Be loyal!

“Loyalty is what makes us trust, trust is what makes us stay, staying is what makes us love, and love is what gives us hope.”

Glenn Van Dekken

Loyalty. A simple word, and yet so powerful. Loyalty means trusting the people around you, letting people in even when your scared. It means allowing people in to your life. When someone is loyal, they never give up on you. They sit by your side through all the trials, they make you feel loved when you feel alone. They give you hope when you feel like there’s no one left in the world there for you. To have a loyal friend is such a blessing. Loyalty. Not so simple.

“Everybody wants loyalty, consistency and somebody who won’t quit. But everybody forgets that to get that person, you have to be that person.”

This quote means, to have good friends, you need to be a good friend. If you want a kind person to be your friend, be kind. You want someone loyal, prove your loyalties to them. If you want to have that one friend that is always there for you, be the friend that is always there. Best friends, are just second family, so treat them with respect, kindness, and always be there for them. If you do that I guarantee you’ll find good friends.

“You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.”

Richard Branson ENTREPRENEUR, PHILANTHROPIST

I think this means, that sometimes you have to fail to learn.  If you don’t try, you’ll never learn. If you fall, get right back up and try again. You have to fail to learn, and you have to learn to succeed. Always persevere!

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” ~~ Plato

I believe that this means, you never know what someone is going through at home, so be kind to everyone you mean. There is no way to tell if someone is going through loss, or hardships. I believe that, even if you really don’t like someone, because they might have a rough life. Be kind! Be positive!

Do you think students should be able to stay up as late as they want on weekends? Why or Why not?

I think students should be able to stay up late on weekends. We are in school for seven hours a day, five days a week. While school is sometimes very fun, it can also be stressful. There’s the pressure of the dreaded math assignment, the fear of people not liking your writing, and making sure your doing well in all your school work. The weekend is a time to unwind from all of that, a time to hangout with friends, to watch movies with your family, and, most important, stay up late! It’s crucial we get our late night time, or we’ll have a break down!
