"True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right." - Brigham Young 

What this quote by Mr. Brigham Young means to me is that we have freedom and independence when it comes to doing what is right, meaning, we have to right to choose from what is right and what is wrong. It is up to us if we choose to either do whats right and do whats wrong, which can determine our destiny. So in reality we all have independence and Freedom because our actions make us the humans we are in society. So do whats right, because only that way will you truly obtain tre Independence and Freedom.

El Clasico

I am anxiously awaiting the great soccer game that is coming up on March, 22, 2015, in which two of the biggest teams from Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, will clash in a promising match! I will honestly say I support Real Madrid but at the same time I respect Barcelona because they are a great team, and can really give teams a nightmare.

 Messi, Neymar, and Suarez will lead this FC Barcelona offense and can prove to be devastating to defenses. The mid-fielders consisting of Xavi, Iniesta, and Ivan Rakitic, who have great passing skills, can help carry this team by maintaining ball possession. The Defense consisting of Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, and Dani-Alves who are all quick, smart, and strong when it comes to defending, which will certainly help break down the powerful offensive squad of Real Madrid. The Chilean Goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo, has been giving excellent performances to help this FC Barcelona team receive less goals and overall, can be the difference in a close match.

On the other hand you have Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gareth Bale to lead the Real Madrid Offensive, and can prove to be, “a force to be reckoned with”, as some teams describe it. The quickness, the explosiveness of this offense can certainly give any team a hard time. The mid-fielders consisting of Toni-Kroos, Isco Alcantara, Luca Modric, and James Rodriguez can be very successful in leading in starting counter attacks. The Defense consisting of Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal or Fabio Coentrao, and Marcelo can be very successful because not only are they great defenders but they can be lethal when it comes to aerial gameplay. Marcelo’s skills, speed, and great crosses can come in handy for that reason.

Overall, this is going to be a very close game in my opinion, and well I wish best of luck to both teams. These arch rivals may respect each other but will compete with all their power when it comes to games like these. So tune in to El Clasico, you won’t regret it, the fans, the atmosphere, football (Soccer) can be very interesting once you understand it and what better players to show you the sport like Leonel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale, Suarez, Benzema, etc.

The best touchdown in Middle School!

Olivet Eagles (Olivet, Michigan) Keith, Justice, Parker

In a play nobody would have ever expected the Olivet Eagles from Olivet, Michigan decided to do the most generous thing by allowing a young disabled kid named keith score a touchdown, probably the only and best touchdown he has ever scored in his entire life. No everyone in the team had planned it out, including Justice Miller the wide receiver for the school, who was touched by this experience as he regrets of not have thinking about it himself. A lesson from this video shows how we all deserve to be happy and successful no matter what the situation may be.  

Who is truly great?

Student Success Statement

"They're only truly great who are truly good." - George Chapman

What this quote by George Chapman means to me is that we can all be considered great in a variety of aspects, but those who are truly great are those who are truly good. Yeah, you may be the best player in your soccer team making you a great athlete, for example, but if you lie, cheat, treat others without respect... You aren't so great after all now are you? Choose to be truly great as in helping others, being a good person in society, do not do drugs or alcohol, always tell the truth, in the end, strive the be the best person you can be. Many people will respect and you yourself will feel truly great. As a result, you will live a more fulfilling life, be successful, and overall live the life you want to live.
