“Right is right, even if everyone is against it: and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”       -William Penn

This quote is true because sometimes we incline to following or doing what others are doing without realizing that what they are doing is wrong and you know that it’s wrong but you still decide to do it because you want to be a part of the cool kids or what not. I agree with it because I even tend to do this at times even though I know that it is wrong I still do it because I want to fit in with everyone else. Our heats will always tell us what’s wrong and what is right all we have to do is follow our hearts and not care what others might think of what we do because in the end the only thing that is going to affect us is the things we do that might jeopardize our future  no one but ourselves can do that for us.

“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency ask the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But, conscience ask the question, is it right? And there comes a time when we must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.” –Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I think that the statement is trying to say that sometimes in life we do have to take risks that are not always in our comfort zone but we have to take them because we know that it is the right thing to do because our mind is telling us that it is the right thing to do. We tend to stay in our little groups where we do not know what happens outside of our group especially in high school because we are so caught up in not trying to ruin our high school experience that we take the easy way out and not take the risks that we should have taken and then we end up regretting the things that we did not do or the things we did not accomplish because we were so busy being scared to try new things and to follow our conscience.

Whats on Your mind?

What’s on your mind?

On my mind right now I am thinking about doing all my homework, doing well in school today, and going home to get some sleep. Sometimes on my mind are a lot of things like what might happen today or what might happen tomorrow. I also think about my cousins and hope that they are doing well and that they don’t make bad choices that later on they might regret.  I want do good in order to become a nurse or a physiologist. I want to make something of myself.

“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me”

                          -Carol Burnett

Reflection:

This quote to me means that I am the only one that has the power to change anything I do not like in my life. If I feel that I am doing something wrong or I do not like the way my life is going I am the only that has the power to change it no one else can do it for me. In freshman year I was struggling and not passing most of my classes and I thought to myself what am I doing wrong or what can I change to make my life better. I ended up changing to a different school and I did a lot better in this new school my grades got better and my life changed little by little and all with me wanting to change how my life is going and now my life is great all thanks to me wanting to do better.
