“Every time I’ve done something

that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended

up not being right.”

    Mario Cuomo

Reflection: Every time I have done something wrong, it has ended up being wrong. So every time you do anything you can feel differently for instance, you may have stole something from some one just because it looked cool or because you didn't have it. After, you feel guilty and can't deal with yourself, even if you try your best to not think of it. The same when you do something right you are gonna feel right afterword, why feel guilty of what you have done?

Reflection:   CPCC is a organization for grads who love cytotechnology and want to educated about a aspect of scince, one student says that ever since he was in college he loved learning about genetics and cells. So he went in to this and found a job and is loving where he works at. One day I hope I can find a job that suits me and what I am interested in, like chemistry and physics. I would go in to this because another aspect of science which is interesting to me is biology and this is a more fine asspect of that.

“Only I can change my life. No

one can do it for me.”

 Carol Burnett

Reflection: Only I can change my life, the same goes for everyone no one can do it for me because this life is mine, no one owns you and no one can ever own you. You have to make the change you want to see in yourself not even your parnets can help you, all the change that happens is made by you. Does your mom make you change, does your dad make you change, does your sibling make you change, no they don't. This might come to you as a big responsiblity, but it also comes as an oppurunity for changing in the wrong way, but that is all up to you because only you can change you life, no one can do it for you.

                               ANON

Reflection: I thnkwhat anon is trying to say is that you only get to live once in that body so why not spend the time in that life giving kindness and goodness out to everyone. We should spend our lives giving positive feed back and opinions instead of bad ones. Say your friend worked hard on a project and you give him/her horrible feed back.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

Once you keep choosing the right the more you enjoy the trials you endure and you can have the peace of mind. A clear conscience, choose the right, and enjoy life that is the highway.

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not

               true do not say it.”

                           Marcus Aurelius

Reflection: If you know its not right, if you know it's choosing the wrong, why do it? It's not worth the consequence just choose the right and stay away from  the Low Way of Life. Say for instance you are in the of a game of checkers and you are losing. Then your opponent gets up to do some thing. You can sit and wait for him/her to come back or cheat so you have the upper hand when you your opponent comes back. Lets say you win does it feel good i don't think so, it feels like a hollow victory doesn't it.

THE HONEST FOUR

                         The Honest Four  
When a store is open lights on you think the store is open right? Then you realize that no one is there and figure out it is closed. Well a group of 4 college football players, attending Patterson University in New Jersey, lived through this experience and Chose the right. There was two options avaliable during that experience; 1. Take anything they could take and not pay, or 2. Take what they came for and leave the money (including tax). That' s the path these men chose. They choosed the right and pay for the merchandise. They taught us to be honest and keep choosing the right.
