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

Unknown

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!

“She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.”

Annie Dillard AUTHOR

Personally, I love books. I am constantly reading. It breaks my heart when someone says “I’ve only seen the movie,”. I don’t know what  I’d do with out books. Going on adventures with Percy Jackson, learning magic with Harry Potter, find all the items of the wishing spell with Alex and Conner Baily. Chris Colfer, Rick Riodan, and J.K. Rowling are my heroes. Reading is magnificent. You learn so much from it. I encourage everyone to read. Find a good book, and start reading!

“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.”

Robert Bresson

This quote means, that is you keep your ideas to your self, no one will ever know about them. Your ideas can make a difference in this world despite what you may think. Even the smallest ideas, can make the biggest change. You can go your whole life without being seen. Or, you could share your ideas end up helping the earth. You choose.

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

Carl Sagan

I think this quote means, that you can do something incredible.  Trying is the only thing that matters, if you succeed, that’s just an added bonus. do what you want to do, be what you want to be, and go where you want to go. Because if you try, you might just make a difference in this world.

“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”

Socrates PHILOSOPHER

I think this means that as long as you have a little bit of curiosity, you can achieve incredible things. You can be the most brilliant scientist in the world, but to do so you have to wonder things. I think we could all use a bit of childish curiosity in our lives.

I think this quote means, even though other people are important, so are you. People often don’t give themselves enough credit for the (amazing) things they do. I myself think that many other people are more important than I am. I quickly remember that I am important by talking to my friends and family, gaining myself esteem. Love yourself!

I think this quote that even though we’re all different in some way, we are all here together. I think a big part of being kind is that you need to include everyone. I love this school so much because the people are so kind. Be nice to everyone you meet and include everybody.
