“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time”-Pam Knox

It means to do right no matter how, when or where you always have to do right because it’s right and you will always feel good about yourself and always feel good that you did the right thing. Like the kid, he was going to win the G.P.A but he didn’t realize that he had more than 14 golf clubs in his bag, so he disqualified himself because he plays fair, knows what’s right and follows the rules. I know I was in his shoes a couple times and believe me it feels great to do whats right, you just feel like doing it more and more until it’s just a habit of doing it. Example, I had my allowance saved under my cabinet and went out to go spend it on new clothes because I almost grew out of all of them, I decided to go to the mall with my parents and siblings. We ate and then we walked through lots of stores. I had 200$ saved from working hard at work and from the extra change my dad lets me keep for school, i found a young adult, without an arm and a leg, he was mute and deaf he always had a little piece of cardboard and wrote “I have no money, I don’t have a home and don’t have nothing to eat.” i had only spent 130$, so i decided to buy him a good meal and give him the rest of the money that I was going to spend on myself when I can donate to those that are more needy than I was. He was shedding tears of happiness and enjoyed his meal and gave me a hug. After that act of generosity I felt really good and proud that I just helped a needy person.

Karl G Maeser

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone, ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”- Karl G Maeser

It means to keep a promise and never break that promise because that shows the lack of honor and trustworthiness. This will make you become an untrusted person in society. I had that issue many times with my parents, I lied, gave them my word of honor and lied in their faces more than 6 times at least. Now I’m giving it my all at school and now are trusting me and rewarding me with new soccer cleats and more freedom. I WILL keep the word of honor to show that I’m trustworthy. I feel like if like got a bit more easier because I’ve been doing my chores even the most complicated ones or the ones that I don’t like, but I have to do it, in their return their trust.

Henry David Thoreau

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”- Henry David Thoreau

It means that doing good will never go wrong because it’s right and good decisions won’t ever be wrong. I went to a to a tuti fruity by Pacific and found a 50$ bill outside the shop, I said to myself, with that money i can buy a big cup with a lot of toppings, then i saw a lady looking through her purse and the lady asked the cashier if she had change for a 50 $ bill, she said yes and she looked in her pockets and they were empty, I told her that I found a 50 $ bill outside the store and she felt relieved and thanked me many times, she told me that for my act of kindness and generosity she will pay for my cup and after, we went our own separate ways. We both felt good because when you do good you feel good, and she felt good because she found her money and because she bought a children a cup of ice-cream. I came home and questioned myself, Why don’t  people do right, it WILL make them feel good about themselves and about that they did it so then I answered, that's the way of the world.
