"Only those live who do good."

-Count Leo Tolstoy

This is a very tremendous true statement provided by Count Leo Tolstoy. When you do good you feel good. It really makes you feel as if you are living.It brings you happiness, success, and fulfillment. Doing bad brings you misery and failure. Doing wrong makes you feel as if you aren't living. You can be wealthy and living by materialistic things. However, you can be poor in terms off happiness and success. You determine who you want to be. For example everything that is right isn't always popular and everything that is popular isn't always right.

Reflection: This is something I would love to do. I have family members who can't see very well and i think me getting more involved in something I can relate to will be a good thing. Family members such as my grandma, grandpa, brother, sister, mom, uncles, and cousins. I think that this is a very good profession and a lot of people tend to have eye problems seeing but can't afford the materials or treatments to get their eyes fix.

" What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

-Albert Einstein

I think that this a true statement because as we seen in the two videos showed in class today we seen one act of kindness that an older man was doing that people don't often hear of then we see a video of something that is very popular across the world that isn't very good to do. Not only isn't it good but it has bad effects on your body and health. This man in the first video would go to the park once every week and give back to those who couldn't afford hair cuts. This is very important because you don't hear things like this too often and the man was doing it out of kindness with no money in return. The payment was a hug and making someone else feel important. However, in the second video we seen it was a very common thing many people young kids and adults do for fun. Drinking. Drinking is very popular around the world. Not only is it popular but many people do it not knowing how drinking alcohol can damage your body. Drinking alcohol is very common but it isn't something young kids and adults should do.So with this being said what's right isn't always popular. And what's popular isn't always right.

Student Success Statement

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that. It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change that." - D. Ben Carson

I agree with this statement 100% it all depends on what path you start with and weather or not you choose to stay on the path you are on or merge onto another. Education is the latch key to success. If you want to be successful you have to work for it. It all depends on if you are willing to cross any road to do what it takes. Hard works takes dedication, effort, and time. Ben Carson had grew up in huge poverty. He took time to learn and become successful.

Drug Issues

Drug use is a very common addiction. Drugs have a huge effect on the body, mind, and spirit. This has become a major public health problem. Many kids become involved with drugs with peer pressure, poor choice of friends, unsupervised time, and family problems and history with drug use. This has taken a big toll on our young teens and kids. About 17% of American high school students are drinking, smoking or using drugs during the school day, according to the National Center of  Addiction and Substance Abuse. The results revealed that 78% of U.S. teens have drank alcohol, and 47% of the group said they'd consume 12 or more drinks in the pass year. That's awfully a lot. Many kids are becoming more and more addicted and are having mental health problems.

"Even if everyone is doing it wrong is never right."- Russell M. Nelson

I think that this is a true statement because people tend to think just because 9 out of 10 people are doing something that it is right for them to do it. However, that isn't the case. Wrong is wrong and right is right. What makes this statement a powerful statement is we see this in our everyday life and experience it 7 out of 7 days out of the week. That'ts a lot. We see that our friends are doing something and we began to believe since our friends are doing it that its right and that isn't always the case. If we see that something is wrong we should follow the crowd we should be the one in the crowd to stand up and say what's the right thing to do. Most people think because everyone is against one opinion that its bad to say or do. Stand up for what is right even if everyone is against it.
