How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! -Maya Angelov. What she means by this quote is that we have so many heroes that we don't even recognize as often. Heroes are also no just male but also female. There are heroes all over we have and we should recognize all evenly. Whether it be male or female of al lages. They all have their own place in our world and some of them even sacrificed their lives for us.

Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society - Thomas Jefferson. What Thomas Jefferson means in this quote is honesty and being truthful is extremly important in society. When one gains another trust its a bond between the two or more. Not being honest to oneself or others can lead to dire consequences in the world. When I was a child and my parents asked me how i was doing in school i lied to them and said that i had 3 As 2 Bs and a C knowing I had to Ds. I felt bad by lying to them about this. Even though it may be a "small lie" None the less its still a lie and should be prevented. Thats how it starts. It may start with a small lie but then the lies will get larger and larger until eventually you start to hurt others around you.  When one lies to another how does it make that person feel? People will eventually lose trust in the person and eventually not even want to be around that person. Being honest and truthful should be a value in everyones life. The world is filled with liers, cheaters, and decievers and its not wise to follow down that path. I dont believe there should ever be an exuse where someone should lie to someone else. If one is scared to hurt the person, just imagine how hurt they would be if they caught the person in a lie. Be honest with eachother and don't let people cause others to make bad decisions and lie.

Quote 2

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other -Abrhanm Lincoln. Everyone has their own goals in life. With great goals comes great obstacles. Alot of things in life arent easy to achieve.  But the main goal that you want to accomplish in life has got tobe the most important
to someone. Always set forward on  goals and dont let any obstacles stand in the way is what Abrham Lincoln means. When people stand in the way of ones goal that person need sto punch through it. Any obstacle that stands in someones way that person shouldnt let it stop you from achieving your goal. When Abrham Lincoln wanted to stop slavery did he ever give up. He pushed through it to his deathbed. When given stress in life someone cant let it weaken you. Even though it may be hard to ignore stress for example just, have to work it through and pace well. Don't try to squeeze everything in at one time cause that would affect peoples goals. There also bad choices people can make that they would regret. Throughought the world is filled with bad choices.  There are criminals, drugs, and even relationships to get in the way. People often tend to fall into bad choices because they want to "fit in". If messing up their chances of accomplishing their main goal is "fitting in" then I certainly don't want to "fit in". People get caught up in drugs for example. Drugs have many effects that lead people down the wrong path. Then where did that goal go that, that person wanted to finish? Their gone because that person would rather smoke weed at the park with his/her so called friends instead of studying for his/her SAT.  Because that person didn't study, his/her score was 967/2400. This person made a bad choice and because ofthat small bad decision hemessed up his/her chances of getting into a good college. That person would most likely end up working at a minum wage job his/her whole life, not being able to support his/her family. I once heard a saying "Girls may want "swag" now but "Swag" isn't going to be paying the bills when your out on your own. Anther example would be: Don't allow other peoples problems to stand in the way of ones goals. There may be that best friend that always has drama and he/she always comes to taht person. Its understandable to be a good friend dont get me wrong. However isthat person going to allow someone elses life affect something thats important to you. If that friend truly is a friend he/she would know that, that person doing something important and they can't be the one to bring him/her down. It may sound harsh to say but one can't allow someone elses life issues stand in the way of ones accomplishments. In my opinion I wouldn't Im one to always be there for people when i can but if it stands in my way of my goals of my test scores I can't let them slow me down.

Quote 1

Things don't have to change the world to be important -Steve Jobs. People assume that just because something they do is small it isn't important. Just because something doesn't effect the world around you doesn't mean its not important. Everyone has their own values, and everyone has their own ideas that are important to them. Ones goals are important to that specific person and that's all that should matter to that person no matter what others might say. People are capable of doing great things and accomplishing much but they cant let the fact that by assuming that it might not "help the world" stop you from pursuing it. If you find something important to you then pursue it and don't let others tell you that it is not important. You never know if it will change the world later. Everyone has their interests and goals. Some people will always be there to try and bring you down and tell you your goals aren't important to the world. That is no excuse to stop. Throw that person out of your life and pursue your dream anyway. It may not even have to be a dream it can be a simple task. "Simple tasks" automatically get people thinking that it's not important. Everything happens for a reason and everything you do and learn will effect your future. Work hard to achieve goals. No matter how small something may seem to you just remember it does not have to change the world to be important  to you.
