Thanksgiving week

During my thanksgiving week I did my usual work I took care of my siblings while my parents were at work. We had a yard sale at my house during the my first weekend . But over all I pretty much stayed home during break with my family. I practically just spend my time with homework, late work, extra credit, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of my siblings. A good part is that I did have a partial timer to myself and I watched my TV shows. I did not meet new people but on my first day back i met my moms friends daughter that came from Mexico and now studies at Libra.I did not go out much, but if you consider going out to the market or to the store than yes I did go out. Well we did go out and watch the new movie Mona. I had to finish reading a book for English as a homework assignment called  “Night” and I had to write three essays during my thanksgiving week. I would have preferred a nice thanksgiving week where I didn’t have to work as much and relax. Yes well we watched a soccer game America against Chivas  it was a great game. It was my mother's birthday so we spend time together as a family. I watched the Flash, Vampire Diaries, Super girl, and other shows during the week.

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”

-Marcus Aurelius

This quote means that if you know what is the right thing to do do it. But if you know it's wrong and unjustifiable than don’t do it for if you do it than you will be making the wrong decision.If you know something is not the truth  than don’t say it because if you do than it can affect someone very deeply. But if you know something is  true then make an effort and say it. Making the right decision in choosing the right is very important. An example for this is that some people make up lies for their own benefit like a girl tells her friend that her boyfriend is cheating on her just to make them get into a fight. Another example is that if you know that drugs are bad for yourself than don’t do them.

“Doing what is right,fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing”

-Chick Moorman

This quote means that it is more important to do the right thing and honorable thing than thinking of  winning or losing.Winning or losing is not what is important but doing the right thing is very much so the most important thing you can do in life. This quote also means that as long as you make the right decision of doing the right thing the right way is you are no winner nevertheless no loser. Taking the honorable step in winning or losing  is more important. As long as you make the right/honorable decision and play fair you are a winner. No matter what happens at the end  of all this you are taking the right / honorable decision for yourself. For example if you find 100 dollars in a restaurant and just take them without asking the lady/ man in the restaurant you are doing the wrong thing.

You will make something more important and  just a simple person with no courage in yourself to take a stand in life.Saying no is a main key in integrative because this way you don’t accept the wrong in life. Staying true to yourself is also a main key in integratie because staying true to yourself helps you be true to you and to other people. Choosing the the right things to do in life is the third main key in integratie. For example if you have the courage to say no to a friend who insists, tells you to do drugs in your life and you are able to say no than that is a great start in saying no to some. This person  is making you do the wrong and be a CTW. Another example is facing the truth in life to make a better self. If you stay true to yourself than that will help you forgive and move one in life.
