"Disciplining yourself to do what you know what is right and important, although it is difficult, it is the highroad, to pride, self esteem, and personal satisfaction."- Margaret Thatcher(British politician 1979-1990.)

I believe this quote is a wonderful sermon. I believe  we must discipline ourselves in order to commit a proper action. Compared to many moral codes and ethical codes they mustbe inscribed within an individual from an early and impressionable age. Children experience categorization upon the time they start to socialize with their peers, they percieve the "cool" kids, and some children will desire to intermingle with such children. The child will then alter their moral code in order to "Fit in" they believe this matriculation is necessary because of their impressionability. But these children must be disciplined they must be taught to resist such urges, they must learn to exclude themselves from a group of individuals if they were to participate in improper actions.

Balancing High School and a Part time occupation Part 3

Brad Mac Gowan, of the career center that is located at Newton north High-school in Massachusetts, believes that holding an occupation can be a significant milestone with in a young student’s life, if they are responsible. “you can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says , “iin most cases you can derive a great deal of discipline, and a lot of new sets and experiences.” In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong university recommendation for you, remember academics is your first priority

School work, including homework, and studying for tests, should always be your first priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to acquire an occupation, “if you are rushing through your assignments…..or not studying enough for tests because of your occupation, it is time to shorten you occupational hours or leave the occupation and find an occupation that consumes less of your time.”

Summary and Reflection

                 Summary and Reflection

1. Today we have read an article, the article's topic focused on a child who was imprisoned within a bathroom for six years by her grandparents, the child was only allowed to have contact outside when she went to her academic institution. The child was first imprisoned within the restroom at the age of three. The couple who had imprisoned her have been in police custody since January 27 2013, they are being faced with several charges that can imprison them for at least 20 years. It was stated by the law enforcement that the living conditions of the child were deplorable, she was fed irregularly and was only given a cot and a blanket to sleep with. The motives behind the imprisoment are not clear "there is no viable explination." says dayton Sgt. Larry Trophlin.
2. These grandparents are deplorable individuals, why would they raise a child with in these conditions? These grandparents should be kept in prison for a very long time for their inhumane crime. The child may suffer from mal nutrition and several psychological problems that pretain to social and external interaction, i am deeply saddened by these crimes and i hope no child would have to experience this torture.

This statement tries to convey what is correct and what is incorrect. We are taught what is wrong at an early age, but until we experience the consequences after we have commited that action, do we begin to understand what is proper and what is improper. That can also be conveyed through what is actual and what is not actual, when we are children we expirement with certain actions so we lie whaen we are taught what a inaccuracy is, but only until we experience the catastrophic consequences that manifest after we have shared inaccurate information, do we realize it is improper to share in accurate information.

For more assistance in selecting courses

Use college search to inform yourself about a higher level institution’s academic requirements, in order to be certain you are taking the correct courses that will allow you to attend you chosen institution.

If you are concerned about your class schedule or academic progress, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources that can assist you in this process, and may also assist you with achieving you personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals grant you with a purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion that will allow you to achieve what you want to achieve. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes when they are necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working diligently in order to achieve your desired aspirations.

" In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."-Theodore Roosevelt
This statement is rather profound and i agree with the statement. In a moment of decision we are lost in thought, we calculate the outcomes of each decision and we decide whether it is proper or improper. During the decision making process we try to formulate a choice which will benefit us or the people we wish to protect or benefit, and sometimes we make a decision that may benefit us but we know the decision was incorrect. Many decisions that have an impact upon our lives, sometimes force us to question our code of morals, we then quickly try to calculate the outcomes and we lean toward the outcome that will benefit us, this greed may blind us and assist us in the process of making an incorrect choice. Suppose an individual is presented with a proposition such as he may choose to be promoted but a dozen of individuals will lose their positions with in the company, or he may choose to not accept the promotion and prelong the disbandment of the personnel. The person thinks about the choice and instantly leans upon the choice that will benefit him, if the person were a proper person he would consider the disbandment of the individuals and choose to stay with in his position, if he were a person with no regard toward his companions he will surely lean toward the decision that will benefit him regardless of the consequences.

 "To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice."-confucius

I agree with this quote, when an individual acknowledges what is the proper action is with in that paticular scenario and refuses to take part with in the correct action is a the worst cowardice. We are taught what is right and wrong from experience, but when we experience the same scenario again, you would expect everyone to initiate a proper action right? Well individuals who exhibit cowardice believe the must express neglectance to ward a proper action. Once that individual has experienced a  predicament in which they do not understand what is the correct or incorrect action and they participate in the incorrect action they will either learn to choose the correct action later in life or they cannot fully comprehend or have contradictory views and sxhibit neglectance and cowardice by repeatedly choosing the incorrect action while being aware of the severity of their problem.

An elderly man returned money he had claimed to have stolen from a sears in Seattle, Washington. It was said the man walked in to the sears and traversed onto the second floor, he then proceeded to  hand the sears envelope that carried a letter explaining his crime and a one hundred dollar compensation. The customers reacted by exclaiming "awesome, an act of kindness.

Reflection: This was a kind act.The man must have suffered for many years harboring that guilt, but now he can relieve himself. I now know guilt can constrict around the mind and allow neurological connections to react to such an event for a long time therefore imprinting the event into your memory. I am glad the man had attempted to relieve his guilt. I  believe any miniscule crime can result in the feeling that constricts around your mind and results in powerful reactions known as guilt.

 "Tis the set of the sail"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916
But to every mind there openeth,
A way, and a way,and away,
A high soul climbs the highway,
And a low soul gropes the way,
and in between on the misty flats,
the rest drift to and flow.
But to everyman there openeth,
a high way and a low,
and every mind decideth,
the way his soul shall go.
One ship sails east,
and abother west,
by the self-same winds that blow,
'tis  is the set of sails,
and not the gales,
that tells the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the waves of time,
'Tis the set of the soul.
That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

The academic rigor of your high-school courses is an important factor in the university application admission process. The college admission officers observe your high-school course schedule in order to select a proper candidate. They are searching for an applicant with a proper foundation of education that can be expanded upon in university.

To create the foundation, participate in at least five rigorous academic courses every semester. Begin with basic courses and then traverse onto the advanced. Challenging your ability is an aspect that intrigues many students; but you need a firm understanding of the fundamentals in order to advance onto more rigorous academic courses.

“ A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”- Thomas Carlyle

I agree with this statement, without a rudder a ship cannot be propelled this can be compared to a man without a goal, the man cannot propel himself in any direction. The rudder represents navigational stability, a man without goals wanders endlessly through life at a rather slow pace, he has nothing to expect of himself and no motivation that can ensue propulsion. The rudder is an important part of a ship, if a rudder malfunctions the ship cannot propel itself properly, and therefore a man cannot navigate, propel, or compose himself without a goal. A ship without a rudder cannot sustain stability, such as a man without goals cannot maintain stability within his life. Propulsion is ensued through stimulation from the ships power source and the helmsman. A man without goals has been deprived of a purpose and a motivation and therefore cannot complete or formulate goals, he is left wandering desperately through and endless stretch of sea, with no goals to provide buoyancy or navigation.

Extracting the most benefit from a session

Here are some tips to help your group extract the most benefit from a study session:

·       Decide what you are going to do in advance.

·       Prepare for a session, in order to benefit from your time as a group.

·       Distribute teaching duties in order to reinforce your knowledge.

·       Focus upon the session’s topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you have learned, deepen your understanding of complex subjects, and even acquaint yourself with new individuals.

Remember that a person who is a friend encourages you to exhibit your maximum potential and achieve your goals, one who encourages you to attempt to try a complex and proper activity. If someone tries to corrupt you and attempts to ruin your life, then those are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them. Whoever said learning cannot be enjoyable? Learning is enjoyable and enticing when you study with others.

Guide lines For Working Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and operating a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it is easy for someone to find themselves overwhelmed and smaller groups can easily distract themselves.

Why? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in progression and doing well academically. Observe your classmates and evaluate the alumni who are alert, who take notes, and ask questions and respond to the instructor’s questions. Include someone who understands the material much better than you do and can explain the concepts to an individual who has not grasp the concept in order to be able to explain the concept.

Where? Conduct study sessions in a locale that is free of distractions and that has room in order to spread out you materials such as notebooks and textbooks.

How long? Meet for two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit allows the group to focus. If you know you have a time limit the group’s productivity will increase.

When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week.

Study Groups offer other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study groups to assist you in the deciphering of your notes. Each person incorporates his or her abilities onto the group, such as organizational skills, persistency, or a capacity of memorization.

Review much more. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem that none would have solved individually.

Benefit from a support system. Members often hold common goals, such a good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members,

Which result in producing compassionate members. It is fun to study with others; the productivity allows for interesting study sessions. And because it is fun, you spend more time studying!

 "In life as in Football you will not go far unless, you are certain were the goal posts are.-Arnold Glasgow
This statement is a vivid representation of Arnold's ideals. In life the foundation that form accomplishment are goals. Without goals we are left without a guide, we are not able to translate the aspirations we hold onto goals. We must set goals in order to succeed, we must organize our procedures, if we do not we are left in a disoriented world which upholds no direction or purpose. Goals express the need for organization within an individuals life, goals allow us to achieve they classify and describe our needs. People who have no goals, feel as if they uphold no purpose within life, they feel disoriented and depressed. People with in this category are very disorganized and indecisive individuals, they are rather passive and do not uphold a sense of urgency, but goals promote a sense of urgency in order to motivate the individuals onto completing the goal. Goals can be thought of as markers within your life, they motivate us and create our aspirations, that is why i believe goals are essential toward proper human social and solitary function.

Working Together Assists Everyone

You may have noticed when you are explaining something you have learned to an associate, you begin to understanding the material toward a better extent. This happens because, when you explain a concept, you must formulate a proper explanation and therefore think and produce a speech.

The same principle allows study groups to be productive. Studying with others in a small group because you:

·       Think from an auditory aspect

·       Share ideas

·       Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students organize lesson materials together-explaining concepts, debating about the concept, answering questions pertaining to the subject, and in the process you will likely learn much more relative to solitary study.

Summary:At the start of the video we are prsented with words such as honesty,integrity,respect, ethics, and courage. It then presents a question What is the greatest human challenge? the answer is given and it states "living by our beliefs." The video then presents us with the definitions of every word that was given to us in the begining of the video. The videos text is accompinied by inspirational music and pictures that represent the text.

Reflection: This was a mesmerizing piece of media that presented a proper topic and enlightened my thoughts. The words that were presented built a foundation from which the question arose. We all live and behave through the stimulation of certain beliefs, an example may be an individual who believes in respect, we then expect that individual to respect the populace around him or her. These words presented stimulated my thought, the question presented to me was rather easy to interpret, the humans who are uncommited cannot implement their beliefs upon their lives or even manifest any beliefs.

I agree with this statement, we will never be able to escape the consequences that accompany our actions.

At that moment we are only focused on the compensation that we will recieve from the participation upon such an action. No one ever escape the consequences of his or her action, actions manifest consequences. Consequences either benefit the individual or corrupt the individual.
