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

                                               - Mario Cuomo 

Reflection: As we grow older, our bodies grow, and our minds mature. We look back at all the naive things we said, the bad things we have done and it soon hit's us. What were we thinking? Sometimes, you feel as if something you have done is great and you give yourself a pat on the back for doing so, others, you feel as if you have done something wrong and indeed in fact you committed something wrong. This quote resembles that.

" Only I can Change my life. No one can do it for me." 

- Carol Burnett 

Student Reflection: 

  What this quote is trying to emphasize is that no one can change your life, only you can.  Sure someone can encourage, guide and help you but they can't dot it for you. If you ant to change you have to work for it, you have to push yourself and not be lazy because  in the end all you are going to have is yourself. Someone once said " Life is short" indeed, it is. Why not change your life for something better instead of the worse.

" Goodness is the only investment that never fails" 

                                     -Henry David Thoreau       

Student Reflection: Everything around us, maybe not everything, somehow finds a way to crumble down and fail. You try to invest in money that could maybe end up failing. One way or another things fail. But, there is something that no matter what it doesn't fail, and that something is goodness. Goodness won't fail because when you do great, you surround yourself with greatness.
