These are 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity:  1. Have the courage to say no  2.  Have the courage to face the truth. 3. Do the right thing because it is right. W. Clement Stone I think that this quote means we should always do right, no matter the situation we are in. I also think this quote means we should learn how to say no. I think it means that because some people get taken advantage of  because they for some reason haven't learned how to say no.  I think that this is a very quote.  I also think this quote means we should be able to face the truth. Some of us can't handle it but, we need to have courage to face it. Some examples of this can be: doing the right thing 24/7. 

“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”

“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.” Henry Ward Beecher I think that this quote means that you should always hold yourself accountable for your actions. I also think it means we should always do right. I think it means we shouldn't blame others for our actions. I think it also means we shouldn't make excuses for your choices and actions. An example of this quote can be being responsible for your decisions. Another example can be to do what you have to do and not make any excuses on why you didn't do it. A example of not following this quote can be being irresponsible. Another example can be like, always making up excuses for your laziness.

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." Proverbs 13:20  I think that this quote means that our pathway on our future depends on the people we hang out with. I also think this quote means we should always do the right thing. I also think that this quote means that we can't blame others for our own decisions. An example of a good crowd is like a group of friends that don't do wrong and do good on a daily basis. An example of a bad crowd is when the people you hang around do nothing but wrong.

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving week  I really didn't do anything during the week. I just went black Friday shopping and I also went grocery shopping. I didn't really meet anyone, I just saw people I already knew during the thanksgiving brake. I didn't really watch any movies. I watched some football games during the break. I was using my skateboard during the break but I don't know if that counts as a sport.  I didn't have any CTR experiences. I was going to try to read a book during the break but, I forgot and I didn't read any new books. I finished my math homework and my gizmos for biology. My family and I had people over for thanksgiving.      

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it." William Penn  I think that this quote means that we should always do the right thing. I also think it means we shouldn't do something if everyone else is doing it, unless it's something good. I also think that this quote means we should always "choose the right". I feel that this is a very good quote. I think that everyone can learn something off this quote. An example of this quote can be the video Mr. Haymore showed the class about the three people who climbed over the fence at Yosemite Park.

The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621, and is held in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. A similar holiday is held in Canada, usually on the second Monday in October. Thanksgiving is Thursday which is on November 22, 2018. The first thanksgiving was celebrated on October 1621. It became a federal holiday in 1863. Some things I'm thankful for: Family Friends Having a roof over my head Food Education Opportunities  Music

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often." Peter Vidmar I think that this quote means we should always have goals. I also think it means we should try and achieving them. I also think that this quote means that We should write those goals down like in a journal and see the goals often. I also think it means that, we should all strive for success.

"If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
