“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

      This quote means that if you only have intelligence that is good, but not good enough. If you only have character that is also not good enough. The true goal of education is to have both of them, intelligence and character. Together they are going to help you find true education and you will succeed in life. This is important because with only one of these or without any, you would be completely lost. This is why you need to have both of them working together to really find the true goal of education. For example it is like playing basketball with only one hand, you can't play properly because you need two hands. It's the same thing with intelligence and education you can't function properly without one of because you need to have both.

“We need to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn’t do”

Richard L. Evans

      This quote means that we need to start and continue to encourage on what we should be doing. On what is the right thing to do and show people CTR. We also need to stop whatever we know we shouldn't do and whatever isn't right should be stopped. This is really important because it shows that we need to start paying attention to the things around us and help out. For example we should do more volunteer work to help out the people in need. Also to help feed and take care of the homeless that need food, protection, and shelter. If we see anything that might need help even if it is the most easiest thing we should still help out because you know that is is the right thing.

      

School Break Days

      During the three weeks of break that we had I did many things. For example my cousin came here for vacation to spend time with us so we decided to make some fun plans with her to enjoy and see all the different things here. We tried doing as much as we can also because she hasn't been here since over 5 years. Then my family members joined together on Christmas Eve to eat and open presents. We had a very fun time talking and spending time with each other and a very special day. During the days that my cousin was here we went to some museums to explore and see what they had. We also went shopping to get some new clothes for this cold winter time. There were also some new movies out in theatres so we decided to see, Moana. On the last day that my cousin was here to visit we went ice skating and we had so much fun but unfortunately she had to leave the next day. A few days after we got the season pass to go to Knott’s Berry Farm and we got on some rides and roller coaster with my family.
