"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalpost are."

"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalpost are."

Arnold H. Glasgow 

This statement means that if you do not set any goals for yourself then what are you going to be aiming to achieve. Like in football if their is no goalpost then what is the point of playing with no purpose. In the real world you cant just wing everything. You need to have a plan on how you are going to do doing things. You need to set yourself long and short term goals. To be successful in life you have to work hard. If you do not know your goal then where are you going to be doing or going. The goal is going to be easier for you to succeed in life. If you know where the goalpost are then you will get anywhere you want. If you d not know where the goalpost if then you will be working hard for nothing.

"Only those live who do good."

"Only those live who do good."

Count Leo Tolstoy 

     This student success statement means that by doing good you are going to live your life the best. For example how one football player wanted his whole family to be there with him while another football player wanted nothing to do with his family. He didn't attend no celebrations of theirs nit even his grandfathers funeral, not even his best friends wedding. He canceled the day before the wedding that is not the right thing to do to someone. Some people need their life to live the good way. If I want to live the right/ good way I would want my family with me. I would not want to disown them. Another example if of how ones kid father robbed a old lady purse that had $700 dollars in it. He ended getting matched and send to prison. His own son knew that that was not right and had to confront her to say sorry for what his father did. Even though it was not his problem he still did the right thing.

Rightness and Popularity

Student Success Statement 

"Whats right isn't always popular. Whats popular isn't always right."

Albert Einstein 

      The meaning of this quote that came from Albert Einstein means that the right thing to do is not always what other people are doing. If it is not the right thing to do then do not do it. Popularity is not important compared to helping people. A positive example is about a  man named Joe started cutting homeless people hair for free. He was not obligated to do but he did it anyways. All they did to repay him was giving him a hug. He started cutting there hair out of kindness. Another example that is negative is the teens drinking in a party because just because everybody is doing it to. That is not the right way that you are supposed to be doing things. teens should be drinking just because they see other people doing it they should enjoy the time they have peacefully. If they continue on like that they well eventually end up being alcoholics for the rest of there life.

Epidemiologists

Name the topic:

Epidemiologists 

     

Why did you choose this topic: / Describe the topic detail: 

   I choose this topic because it seems interesting how they investigate the cause of a disease on a human. Epidemiologists are public health professionals who investigate patterns and cause of diseases and injury in humans. They collect and analyze data through observation, interviews, and surveys, and by using samples of blood or other bodily fluids to find the causes of disease or other health problems. They also may research and investigate the trends in populations of survivors of certain diseases, such as cancer, so that effective treatments can be identified and repeated across the population.They seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education, and health policy. Epidemiologists work in offices and laboratories, usually at health departments for state and local government in hospitals, and at colleges and universities. Epidemiologists need at least a master’s degree from an accredited college or university. Most epidemiologists have a master’s degree in public health (MPH) or a related field, and some have completed a doctoral degree in epidemiology or medicine. The median annual wage for Epidemiologists was $70,820 per year and $34.05 per hour. Epidemiologists  typically specialize in infectious diseases, chronic diseases, injury, mental health, oral health.

WRONG is NEVER RIGHT

" Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG is NEVER RIGHT."

Russell M. Nelson 

       This statement means that if you see everyone cheating that does not mean you have a pass to cheat too. Cheating is not good under any circumstances. If you start cheating then you are going to get used to cheating which is not the right way to go. Nobody should ever follow anybody. Lead the path for you self. If everyone is going one way you go the other way. Be the leader that you are meant to be. For example the video we seen about cheating mentions that is you get an A on a test your teacher is proud because they think that they are a great teacher because everyone is understanding the lesson. Nobody takes the teaching feelings under consideration when cheating. Then once the teacher finds out multiple of people were cheating then they think that they are not teaching properly and they are being hard on themselves. cheating is not the right/ correct way to live your life.

Never

Student Success Statement 

"You cant be right by doing wrong; you cant be wrong by doing right."

Thomas S. Monson 

    This statement means that if you do wrong you are never going to be right. If you do something that is wrong and you believe it was the right thing to do ten you are wrong. You cant be right by doing wrong. What is wrong is wrong and what is right is right. If you are trying to do something right then you have to do it the right way and the correct way. We should never think/ believe that if we do something wrong we can get away with it. If you do something wrong and you get caught own up to your mistake. We can learn from our mistake. For example if somebody cheats on their test and they get a perfect score. Even though they received a perfect score it was not the right thing to do. That  is not fair because others tried the hardest to get a good grade. While others cheat to get a good grade.

Enthusiasm

"Enthusiasm makes the difference." 

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

         This quote means that having enthusiasm is better than than being boring. Having Enthusiasm makes a huge difference if you are in any kind of event. For example if you in a party just standing in the corner and not having fun nobody is going to want to have a buzzkill person in there party. If people see that you are having fun they are going to want to invite you to every party they have. Being sad and boring is not the way to live your life. You should live you life have the time of your live. Live a little. You only live once so do not waste it being sad over boys or girls. Do not let no one ruin your time.

"Its not about how to achieve your dreams. Its about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma ( good results, destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

Dr. Randy Pausch

    This quote means is to not to focus on the bad things that are going on in life. We shouldn't let anything stop us from achieving our goal. There are a lot of different ways to achieve your dream as long as you do it the ctr way. Your life will be all rainbow and sunshine. You would not have to worry about things you did in the past harm you in the future. If there are brick ways in front of you do not give up try to figure a way to get around it. Do not let anything knock you down from where you are headed. All the hard work that you put into what ever you are doing will pay off in the future. You will be grateful for what you have done. If you have a goal and you want to achieve that goal, then there never should be doubt in your mind. You have to thing positive not negative. If you thing in a positive way then you will get positive outcomes but if you thing negative you will get negative outcomes. Everyone should always try to do whats right because the bad things you did in the past will come back to haunt you.

              On Christmas Winter break I was at home most of the time. The first two weeks I was sick so I had to stay home. While I was home I was babysitting my youngest sisters. While my oldest sister was babysitting me and her daughter. I did go out the house when my parents had to do earns. On Christmas eve I want to my moms sister house for a while because we also needed to go to my dads side of my family. So we ended up going to my grandmas house. They both had tamales to eat. For Christmas I received things that I wanted. Some things I got were a camera, clothes, and makeup. Then on new years eve I went to my moms sister house for a while because we also needed to go to my dads side of my family. With my aunts house we ate pozole and then my grandmas house they made codornices. It was great that I had some time to spent with my family.
