“Right is right only when entire.”        -Victor Hugo

It means that the right thing is only right when it has been complete and you have done everything in your power to make the thing right. When doing right things it makes you a good person because you know the difference between right and wrong and know what to do in any case where they are telling you to do the wrong thing and not the thing. Always listen to yourself and do what you think is the right thing and do not mind what other people may say about it. 

                          

Operating Room Technician

They are also referred as surgical technicians or surgical technologists. 

They help in the operation room by assisting them. They are responsible for having all the surgical tools, and other equipment needed to operate. During the surgery they assist doctors by handing them the instruments they need during the surgery and for counting the sponges and needles before and after the surgery. They also take the specimens to the hospital laboratories for analysis, and after operations they take the patients to the recovery room.

A high school diploma or GED is required, some vocational and junior colleges offer programs in operating room technology, and the training may be taken at large hospitals. The program may be from 1 to 2 years, the students receiving training in medical terminology, physiology, and sterilization methods. When the training is finished the student must pass an exam by the Association of surgical technologists to become certified.

I do not think that I would like to become this because I feel like it is too much responsibility having to hand every tool to the doctor during the surgery.

“Be cool in school-live every rule.”

                                                -Mr. Haymore

This statement might not have a lot of meaning but the meanings that it does have or very good meanings. This means that sometimes being the cool student isn't the one who does drugs or skips class or doesn't care about anything the cool ones sometimes are the ones that do their work and follow all the school rules sometimes those are the ones that are the coolest ones in school because they don’t follow into any peer pressure. Just because you may not have a lot of friends does not mean that you’re not cool, when you have a little friends that care about you makes you even cooler than anything else. It may seem lame sometimes but later on in life you will really see who was actually the cool one for following rules.
