" Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew; that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." 
--President John F Kennedy-- 
What this is saying is that physical fitness is not as important but a skill and intelligence function way more better when the body is healthy and strong. Many people believe that a fit body is isn't that important but when your body is fit then your mind works better it is intelligent and skillful and has more capacity because the body is healthy and strong. The more your body is healthy and strong the more energy and and the more your brain will function because it is strong and healthy.

" Kindness is the essence of greatness" 
What this is saying is that without kindness you can't be great. Its like saying that you meet someone new and they don't show kindness like all they'll say would be like a simple hi or a smile at you but that shows you that there a nice person. If they were to introduce themselves and greet you in a kind way and start a conversation with you then thats a kindness and then you will think they are a kind person by the way they greeted you. Without greatness and kindness it would be bad because you wouldn't show kindness or say or do nice or great things and it would show that you are rude and a mean person.  Being kind is a great thing to do showing kindness is also a great thing to do and show, you will make new friends meet new people by being kind to them.

" Thanksgiving Week" 
What i did during my thanksgiving break was help around the house, hung out with friends, watched t.v, watched movies, and did my homework. I didn't really go out that much during the break because i would do my homework. I went to my friends house, went out and eat with my family, went to the mall and go outside with my friends. I didn't meet new people during the vacation. Some movies i watched were pixels, insurgent, the maze runner: the scorch trials, and paper towns. Some sports that i watched during the vacation was the FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid game. I watched the game with my dad i enjoyed watching the game because it was a good game. I guess some CTR experiences i did was doing my homework during the vacation. I didn't read any books during the break. Some homework i did was physiology homework and geometry homework. Other things i did during the break was watch friends and be with my cousin and her boyfriend and their baby which i had a really great and fun time being with them.

" If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it" 
--Marcus Aurelius--
What this is saying is that if something is not right don't do and if something is not true don't say it. If you do something that's not right then you are doing and choosing whats wrong. If you say something that;s not true then it is wrong because what you are saying is not true and its making you look bad because you are lying about something so therefore you are a lair.  For example if you say something thats not true to someone then they will believe you and then they will go tell other people and so on, then rumors start happening and then at the end they will all blame it on you because you were the one who said it first and the one who started it, then you will end up getting in trouble because you said something that wasn't true. Same thing goes for doing whats not right because if you don't do whats right then you eon't get in trouble because you didn't do in the first place. If you do whats not right then you will end up getting in trouble and having consequences.

" Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
--Chick Moorman--
When you do whats right, honorable and fair you are doing it right because you are doing what you need to be doing. Sometimes when you do the right, fair and honorable thing you are not winning or losing because your doing the right thing which doesn't make you lose or win.When you do the right thing and fair thing it doesn't mean you are winning it means that you are doing whats right and not whats wrong. For example finals week are coming up or you have this really important essay or project due and you procrastinate and wait till the last minute to do it or study, lets say you need to study for one class for you big final exam and you decide to cheat to pass the class then you aren't winning there because you weren't being fair or honest. Then for the next class you have to do an essay or a report on something interesting but you decide to go on the internet and find an essay or report on there and then you copy and paste it and turn it in with a couple of word changes and then you get a really good score and you pass the class but you don't say anything to the teacher because you got a really good score and you needed to pass that class, right at that moment you weren't winning nor you were losing because you weren't being honest, fair and you weren't doing the right thing.
