The 10 Indian commandments are a good way of showing or telling you how you should really be. If you follow or do at least 3 or 4 of those commandments a day you’re doing the right thing. These commandments show you how you should really be. The way I relate to them is I always try to have a good mind of set of things, I always try to find the good in someone or something bad. The way I follow or do these 10 commandments is that I when I’m in a situation where I have 2 options but I don’t know what to pick, I try looking at which one is the best/good choice for me and I pick the choice where I know I won’t get in trouble.

Student Success Statement

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

Having investments is usually sometimes the investments fail but the only one that never does is good. Being a good person and doing the right/good thing is good. If you have goodness and treat people with it, it’ll come back around to you. But having all these investments and they’re not good don’t bother using them or trying them out because if you do something bad there will always be consequences. For example, if you help out anyone with anything or use it during school, you’re doing a good thing that means you have a good investment.

Student Success Statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

Doing the right things or making the right choices gives you a good look on yourself. If you’re the type of person where all you do is right and you don’t do them because you “have” to but you do them because you want to makes you like a good person, you make the right choices because that’s just how you are. People don’t always follow by the rules, but if you’re the type of person that does you’ll have that good making decisions for the rest of your life. If your principle is all about doing the right things then you shouldn’t worry about yourself, because no matter what situation you’re in you know you’ll follow by your principal.

Spring break

On spring break I had lots of fun. I went hiking with my cousins and my aunt, we went to Pallo Verdes to hike. Then we went to the beach after because where we went hiking it was close to the beach after. My cousin had her camera and we decided to take pictures of the ocean and the other views we saw. Some other day i would stay home to work on my homework. Then on friday i went to go dye my hair and cut it. On Saturday, my friends and I took an adventure to downtown L.A then to the beach. In downtown L.A we walked around, we went to stores and checked out what they had. After we went on the metro to the beach on our way there we stopped by the 711 to get snacks, after that we went to the beach and enjoyed the water. When we came back we got ready to go to a 15.

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

People always think that being a mean or rude person matters what but what really matters is how you are. You have to understand that things aren’t always going to go your way. For example, if you are a player in a basketball team and you get benched and you think about how getting mad isn’t worth it and you learn how to accept it, that is when your true character comes out and you know you did the right thing than doing the wrong thing because you were upset. Even throughout life you have to learn how to be a good character and choose the right choices because if you end up making a bad choice then you’ll have consequences to face.
