“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

Brigham Young

I think this quote means, that you don’t necessarily need to ask for freedom or independence, you get through doing the right things. You have the right, independence and freedom to do what’s right and make the right choices. I think people confuse what freedom is because they think freedom is doing whatever they want and being rebels but being free is much more than that. Being free is being able to make right choices and helping whoever is in need or the community or something.

St. Patrick’s Day

1.  St. Patrick was a patron saint of Ireland and is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures. He was kidnapped, and spent six years as a slave where during those years he found God, and planned on making Irish people Christian.

2. The purpose of St Patrick’s Day is to celebrate the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland.

3. St. Patrick’s Day is designated specifically on March 17 because that is the day that he died.

4. On St. Patrick’s Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and or green clothing. St Patrick used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. The color green has been associated with Ireland since 1640’s. The color was just adopted.

There was this football team from a middle school in Michigan where the football players were all popular and cool. And there was a kid named kid, he was sick. So on their game day they decided that they were going to do something special for him. Right when one of the players was about to make a touchdown he stopped right before the line. When they returned back to the game and started where they were, kieth got the ball and made the touchdown.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

George Chapman 

I agree with George Chapman’s statement because some people may ask who in reality is truly great, and some people may think just because they cheated their way to win a game that makes them great. Those types of people aren’t great although they think they are. I think what George was trying to say is that, only if you’re good and you do the right thing, that makes you truly great. You’re supposed to do the right thing to consider yourself great. Someone who cheats isn’t great, they’re just the opposite

"Character matters most." 

Dale Murphy 

To dale winning and getting millions and being famous didn't matter at all. What mattered to him was his own character. I think his character mattered to him because he knows who he is and what he is capable of doing. He knew he was great and was really good at baseball that is something he already knew of. But i think he wanted to show people his character, and how good of a person he is. Character matters, reputation doesn't because that is only what people think of you. I think he is a great example that you should always try your best in everything you do , and his advice is great because character does matter. 

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a great heart exceeds all." 

Benjamin Franklin

I think what Benjamin Franklin in other words is trying to say is that what money buys doesn't have great importance as oppose to an individuals good heart and soul. Some people may think that it's so important to be wealthy and when one is they'll show it off and think they've won at life, but i think it doesn't matter. As long as you make the right decisions in your life and know what's right for you. Also people may make some bad choices in order to rise to the top and be the best, but that isn't necessary. When you do good things, good things will come to you. You won't have to be chasing it.
