Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not? I honestly believe I would like to be one, it seems like an interesting career and I would like to help those who need personal care like the elderly. I would feel great to see them happy and you could learn one or two things from the people you are assigned to work with. Helping with laundry, cooking, grooming, while being nice and keeping a positive attitude would surely grant you success in this career, and I feel I have those qualities. 

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to ______________________."

Student Success Statement (Be True)

"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

What this quote by Abraham Lincoln means to me is that we don't always win in life but we always have the option to be true. Being true is not lying nor cheating or doing anything you know is wrong in order to obtain success. We must work hard for the things we want and we must avoid those who have a bad influence over us.  Being true is always telling the truth and be honest about what you do, always be with those who choose to do the right, and avoid those who choose to do wrong, like people who choose to smoke weed, do drugs, be delinquents in society by breaking the law.

What is higher than Intellect?

Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

What this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson means to me is that good character is more valuable than intellect. You could be the intellectual person but if you have no character, your basically a stone, you won't go far in life. Sure, being intellectual is a great human trait, but don't substitute it for good character. So if your intellectual or not, great! Because what really counts to yourself and to others is your good character. Now I'm not saying don't be intellectual, I'm saying to maintain a balance of both and if you had to choose one over the other, choosing good character is the way to go.

"I trust that my hard work will pay off." - Tyler Hawes

What this quote by Tyler Hawes means to me is that, by doing hard work and by doing things with our heart, we are guaranteed to be successful. In order to succeed in life we must work hard for the things we want, and this principle can be applied to school, work, sports, etc. Always work hard for what you want, because opportunities are not just given (rare), opportunities are set for those who are willing to work hard for them. In my case, I want to be a great soccer player and I know if I really want it, I will try my best in practice, running, and in other key principles in the sport. You work for what you want, (Like I said before), and if you do, don't be surprised with everything you are going to accomplish.  

Personal Interest

Taekwondo

Taekwondo or Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art with heavy emphasis on kicks. Taekwondo was first developed during the 1940's-1950's by Korean martial artists, the most-well known General Choi Hong Hi, as a combination of Okinawan karate, Chinese martial arts, and the indigenous traditions of taekkyeon and gwonbeop. Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. Speed and agility is far more important than strength and power (which is important), and many should relax the body/muscles when performing kicks or jumps, instead of remaining tense. Also, the theory of power is practiced in taekwondo which is set of components which include, reaction force, concentration, equilibrium, breath control, mass, and speed. Usually taekwondo students wear white uniforms and their rank or level of experience can be indicated through their belts color which is tied around their waist. The darker the belt, the higher the rank. Taekwondo is usually practiced in gyms called dojangs, (not Dojos), which is basically a gym where martial arts is practiced. Overall, I believe this is a very interesting form of martial arts, and overall would love to practice it or join after researching it today. Don't be surprised to see me in a dojang anytime soon. :)
