"Every time i've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."

Mario Cuomo

This statement is saying when you feel something is wrong its because it is wrong. For example, when you talk back to your mom/dad, teacher, or any adult you may feel its wrong but at the end it is wrong. Your mind knows when you are doing something that is right or wrong. When something is right you feel good about it. When something is wrong you feel guilty or horrible about. You always will know from right and wrong.

This quote is saying no one else makes my decisions but me. I choose my own life and what i want to do. If im a good person and i always do the right thing nobody will try and change my life. If I choose to do wrong no one will help choose the right. I need to do know whats right from wrong. The only person who will make a change in my life is me. Only I can fix my mistakes and problems. For example, if a person is addicted to drugs. He/she is the only one who can make a change of it. No one will help him/her try to stop. Its the person decision and life.

"When I do good, I feel good.

  When I do bad, I feel bad."

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: What Abraham Lincoln is stating here is when you do something good you always feel good about it. For example, if you see someone getting bullied and you stand up for them. Later you will feel happy and fascinated that you help someone who was getting hurt. Also just by having a good character and being nice to people you will feel good about that. When you do bad you will feel guilty the rest of your life. For example, if you steal you will always feel guilty. If you see the police you are going to think they are after you. You can also have bad dreams. Your conscience will never be same after you know you did something terrible. So its better to do good then bad. Always do right, instead of wrong.

Basketball

Basketball is my favorite sport. I have played this sport since my childhood. I started playing basketball with my big brother. He was the one who made me fall in love with basketball. Basketball is in my blood. I hope I make the team for my school when we have tryouts. Basketball distracts me from everything. When I play it the only thing on my mind is taking the ball away from my opponent. I don't have a favorite team. But if I had to choose it would be the Lakers.
