April Fool's Day

April Fool’s Day 

This holiday is on the 1st of April. The purpose of it is to prank people by playing tricks on them, sending them on false missions or make them believe silly things. Some people believe it’s a holiday originating from a celebration of spring, and others believe it is based on the adoption of a new calendar type. A pro would be that you are able to pull pranks on people and have the excuse of the holiday to avoid consequences. A con would be that you may be a victim and get offended if they take it too far. Another con would be that you have to be careful on who you target because you never know how they will react. April Fool’s day is a great day to just pull a couple pranks and have a laugh with friends.

"I won't cheat"-Dale Murphy

  This quote means that I won’t cheat because cheating is very wrong and it can lead you down the wrong path. If you don’t cheat ever you will be choosing the right and this will lead you to success. You will not ever have to feel guilty and worried about the consequences if you choose the right and avoid cheating. If you do cheat you will feel guilty and it will lead you to worse things than cheating. It is important to avoid cheating it will help you later on in the future to not cheat.

    There are many examples of how cheating can affect your life. For example, you are caught cheating at a competition and from then on no one feels able to trust you. This will affect you because people won’t look at you the same way as before because of a simple mistake. Another example would be you cheating on a test and you never getting caught. This can also affect you because you will be so use to cheating you will do it all the time and not be able to stop yourself from this. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dale Murphy.

“Character matters most” - Dale Murphy

This quote means that character is important above all. With character you can be lead to do so many great things in life. Without character you will be dragged down in life not being able to accomplish anything. Character helps for others to see you as a good person and make you stand out from the crowd. Good character is what matters most because character is displayed through everything.

There are many examples of how character is important. For example, if you didn’t study for a test but the person next to you did what do you do? Well someone with character would not cheat and just try to do the best they can. Someone without character wouldn’t care if it was right or wrong and go ahead and cheat. This can affect you because you will feel guilty and there is always consequences for every situation. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dale Murphy.

Spring Break

Spring break is a few days away and I can't wait there's so much I want to do. I know for sure I will be staying up late and waking up late. I want to be able to enjoy my spring break not just sleep the whole time. I plan to go out with friends for example for winter break we all meet up one day and spent the day in downtown. This time we are planning to go to the Los Angeles Zoo as a group. We also either want to go to the beach or sky zone as a group as well. Another thing I plan to do is go to the mall with my best friend since I have been wanting to go shopping. I also plan to spend time with my family as much as I can since I'll have a whole week to do anything. We were actually planning to go to Las Islas Catalinas on spring break but haven't made a decision yet. These are just some ideas that I have for spring break and hope to accomplish during my break.

     

        

Student Success Statement: Alexander Pope

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."- Alexander Pope

    This quote means that if you do good then you will stay out of trouble and you won't be dishonored. If you do what needs to be done then others will think of you as honorable. People will want to be around you and you will make friends with good quality people. If your don't do good and you get in trouble then you will be dishonored. This will cause others to not think of you as honorable because you don't do what needs to be done. This will lead to not much people wanting to be around you and you will most like attract bad quality people.

    There are many examples of how doing good will make you honorable. For example, you always do your work showing teachers and other students that you are an honorable person. Not only are you honorable but it will help you in the future when you end up with good grades and graduate. Another example would be you not doing your work ever showing teachers and other students that you are not an honorable person. That will really bring you down in the future when you get bad grades and don't graduate. This is basically what I understood from that quote by Alexander Pope.
