“I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: This means that not everyone will win. Although you can win but you want always win. On the other hand you could always be right and do what is right. The reason that you could always do right is because you can choose to do right but you can’t choose to win or lose. For the reason that it can’t be possible to choose your destiny. Sometimes it’s better to stand alone and be true than to be with a crowd that is always doing wrong and not right. If you know what is right and go for it and choose that path. 

Aprils fool’s day

                April fool’s day is on the first of April. This is April 1, 2015. The purpose of April fool’s day is to have fun and trick people. Also for people to stay alert of any pranks that may happen to them. The origins of April Fools' Day are obscure. The most commonly cited theory holds that it dates from about 1582, the year France adopted the Gregorian Calendar, which shifted the observance of New Year's Day from the end of March (around the time of the vernal equinox) to the first of January. According to popular lore, some folks, out of ignorance, stubbornness, or both, continued to ring in the New Year on April first and were made the butt of jokes and pranks on account of their "foolishness." This became an annual tradition which ultimately spread throughout Europe and other parts of the world. Some pros of April fools are you get to have fun and trick people. Another pro is you get to just fool around and not be serious. Some cons about April fools are you get tricked and look silly. Another con is sometimes a joke can go too far hurt someone. In Italy, France, Belgium, and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, 1 April tradition is often known as "April fish". This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed. Such fish feature prominently on many late 19th- to early 20th-century French April Fools' Day postcards.

“Character is higher than intellect”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: This quote cannot be any truer. I believe it is very accurate as to what it is saying because a person can be super smart but if they have a bad attitude then they will not get attention to like someone with intelligence and good character. For example if you have a candy bar and it your favorite one if you see that it is rotten from the corner then you will not eat it. In this example the candy bar represents someone with lots of intelligence and the rotten corner represents the bad character. A person with good character will shine bright and be outstanding. 

Health Science Librarian

Duties and responsibilities: the job of a Health Science Librarian consists of searching and providing the appropriate books containing the correct medical information the person is looking for. These workers can be found in various places such as informational centers, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, health libraries, and others. Although the name suggest they work mainly with books. They also need to work with computers and searching on them. They do this to get the best possible information. They are also responsible for the organization of books. This is important because then it makes it easier to access any book very easily. They can also provide you with tapes, pamphlets, slideshows, websites, journals, and even multimedia presentations.

Salary: $52,000-116,000

Education: this job requires a lot of education and I will tell you some of them now. You will need to be a high school graduate with a diploma. Also you your high school classes have to include science, typing, and biology. Another education requirement would be a bachelor’s degree which would be a for year college. Two of you courses you would have to take in college are science and computer science.

Add a Picture: 

Reflection: I feel like I wouldn't enjoy this job. I wouldn't go into this career because I want to be a culinary artist and it’s far from a health science librarian. This wouldn't be the ideal job for me. Also I wouldn't want to work in a library.

“I trust that my hard work would pay off”

Tyler Haws

Reflection: This is a very good statement. It shows that hard work really pays off because just like Taylor Haws my friend works very hard and she has straight A’s. If you work hard you can go and do anything you want and accomplish everything you want. For example if I work hard and practice every day on my soccer then I know I will get far. Maybe I will even get a scholarship so I can attend and represent a college soccer team. I know that I can accomplish anything if I work hard and so can you. 

Tony Perry

                Tony Perry is part of a band called pierce the veil. He is a big inspiration of mine and one of my loved idols. I really look up to him because he has gone through a lot of things in his life terrible things as well as good things. We share lots of things in common and I just absolutely love him. His full name is Caesar Antonio Perry Soto but they call him tony for short. He was born February 12, 1986 and he is now 29 years of age. Although he looks like he’s in his early 20's he is going to be 30 already. He joined the band he is currently in, in 2007. His birth place is Tijuana, Mexico. He is a guitarist for the band Pierce the Veil. Before he was in the band he recently is in he was in a band called trigger my nightmare. A fun fact about Tony Perry is he supported for many years the organization Peta 2. This organization takes care of animals and stops people from eating them. Tony Perry is a vegetarian but plans to turn vegan someday. A nick name Tony Perry has is “turtle” because his favorite animal is a turtle. Also because he always said turtle at a young age which became a favorite animal of his. The fandoms of Tony Perry know him as turtle. In Tony’s early ages he was suicidal and depressed. Music helped him a lot just like it did to me. He and I might not know each other but we can tell each other’s stories like if they were the same. To him music is a big inspiration just like me and I plan to never let go of music because music is a part of me and who I am. I believe it’s physically attached to me as I am to it. Tony is a big inspiration of mine and my wish is to meet him one day before I die and move on to another world.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right”

Brigham Young

Reflection: There cannot be freedom or independence where there are wrong decisions and no honesty. To be independent you must make the right choices, you cannot be truly independent by making the wrong choices. This great fact that must be learned the hard way or the easy way. The reason you can’t be independent by choosing the wrong is because when you do bad things then the wont trust you and they will take away your privileges. For example if you steal then you will go to jail and in jail you are in caged in a small space with no were to go. 

Global career opportunities

Outside countries may offer different careers or similar careers to those in America. I would like to work in Japan, New England, or maybe just stay in the United States.

Japan

Now that the Japan Society has been bringing the people of Japan and the United States closer together through understanding, appreciation and cooperation we can work together in peace. There will be more job opportunities and for us and them. A job opportunity that Japan is seeking is a dynamic Gallery Director. A dynamic Gallery Director does the following; they develop and implement engaging and innovative exhibitions of both traditional and contemporary Japanese art and culture. This job requires demonstrated record of outstanding curatorial experience, artistic vision, and leadership skills to be able to engage and inspire American and global audiences and the arts community. Another career opportunity would be an engineer. Many Japanese companies (including those in the electronics, automotive and heavy manufacturing industries) are open to hiring foreign engineers. There are a great number of engineering jobs in Japan — it's not a function most Japanese companies are willing to offshore. They do not only offer this to people from other countries they also have this for the people there.

New England

Some careers in New England that are available are Historic keeper, Physician, Aquarist, and working in health. If you follow the career of a Historic keeper then you will do many things. A Historic keeper does the following; collects and preserves buildings, landscapes, and objects dating from the seventeenth century to the present and uses them to keep history alive and to help people develop a deeper understanding and enjoyment of New England life and appreciation for its preservation. Another job you can follow in New England is a physician. This career is in the medical field. When you follow this career path you usually do the following; they study medicine, find treatments, and cure those in need. In New England you can also take the job of becoming an Aquarist which is someone who works in an aquarium. When you follow this career opportunity then you will do the following; take care of aquatic animals, feed the animals, get training, and also work full time.

Reflection: There are many different career opportunities out there in different countries. Some of them I like some of them I don’t. There are two places I would really like to work at which is Japan and New England. I would like to work in a different country because it’s a great opportunity to meet new places and change my usual every day routine. I think this can be a good chance to learn more of the practices and culture of different countries. Although I might permanently stay there or maybe I won’t. The best part will be to have experienced a career in that country. Hopefully one day I will get to experience working in a different country.

All about me

I am weird and funny. I like to skateboard, food, soccer, football, and read. My favorite subject in school is math. My least favorite subject is English. My favorite thing to do is shop online. The type of music that I like is hardcore, post core, metal, heavy metal, rock, and death core. My favorite bands are sleeping with sirens, pierce the veil, Metallica, slipknot, of mice and men, bring me the horizon, my chemical romance, linkin park, suicide silence, bowling for soup, avenged sevenfold, and relient k. In my spare time I like to read and listen to music. I am also in a sport which is soccer. I also play video games. I have two consoles which are the Xbox and an Xbox one. I also love anime, Nutella, and hot Cheetos fries with lime. Other things that I like are cookies, food, and happiness. I really am pointless sometimes because I like to be weird and crazy. Sometimes I just say random things. I can be funny sometimes but I’m more on the crazy and weird side. Some of my idols are Victor Fuentes, Tony Perry, and kellin Quinn. These are only some of my idols I do have many more other people I look up to very greatly. At first if I don’t know you then I am very shy it really depends who you are. I’m saying it depends because sometimes if I don’t know you then I’m very shy but other times if I don’t know you I might act really weird and creep you out. This is just how I am and I don’t plan to change ever not even if you would pay me. I like to dress a different way from everyone else. I don’t like to fit in because I believe that I would look like a clone next to everyone. The way I dress means everything to me because that is how someone will see me for the first time and probably the last. The way I dress is sort of punky looking and different not like you see every day.  I am sporty but also lazy at the same time it’s pretty obvious that I am weird and outgoing. Sometimes I just like to sit down and answer questions about myself because I think I am an interesting person and I’ve been through a lot more than you can imagine so I have some good stories to tell. My stories aren’t adventurous but they are interesting because it’s something you don’t hear every day. I think they are interesting and telling stories or answering questions about me is really interesting to me and something that I like to do with people. The best for the last right. I have three friends that mean the world to me. The help I when I need them and us all are weird together. I will always have them in my heart and they are something that I will never want to let go. The reason for that is because they have impacted my life in positive way and without them it would be nothing. Their names are Debbie, Selene, and Saul. They are the most fun and living friends any one can ever have. Let me correct myself they are my best friends and my closest friends they are the best and I love them (no homo). 

St. Patrick’s Day

Saint Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with Saints Brigid and Columbia. Much of what is known about Saint Patrick comes from the Declaration, which was allegedly written by Patrick himself. It is believed that he was born in Roman Britain in the fourth century, into a wealthy Romano-British family. His father was a deacon and his grandfather was a priest in the Christian church. According to the Declaration, at the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland. It says that he spent six years there working as a shepherd and that during this time he "found God". The Declaration says that God told Patrick to flee to the coast, where a ship would be waiting to take him home. After making his way home, Patrick went on to become a priest. According to legend, Saint Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish pagans. According to tradition, Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. The Declaration says that he spent many years evangelizing in the northern half of Ireland and converted "thousands". Tradition holds that he died on 17 March and was buried at Downpatrick. Over the following centuries, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became Ireland's foremost saint. The Origins of St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick died on March 17, 461. This day is celebrated on March 17 because that is when this saint died. On St Patrick's Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and/or green clothing or accessories (the "wearing of the green"). St Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. St Patrick's Day, while not a legal holiday in the United States, is nonetheless widely recognized and observed throughout the country as a celebration of Irish and Irish American culture. Celebrations include prominent displays of the color green, eating and drinking, religious observances, and numerous parades. The holiday has been celebrated on the North American continent since the late eighteenth century. 

Something Kind

 A middle school football team decided to do something kind for a student named Keith. The team planned to not score any points during the game. That way, Keith will have the opportunity to score a touchdown. This act of kindness made Keith very happy. The players were also satisfied with what they did for Keith. This is a great example of kindness for someone else. The boys of the football team did not mind scoring any points themselves because they knew they were going to give Keith happiness. The football team acted in a good way towards Keith and made his day better. People should do kind things like this more often because it makes them and the people they are doing something kind for happy. People should follow the example of this act of kindness. I can’t believe someone would do this. This is so kind of any one. That is to prove good people still exist out there.

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

George Mitchell

Reflection: This is very true. I believe that if you cheat then you are not getting the satisfaction that a true winner is getting. You get to win but it’s just not the same. It is better to win honestly than to win by cheating and there is nothing truer about this. For example if you someone gives you half of your favorite cookie it’s not the same as getting a full cookie that is your favorite. In this example the favorite cookie is steroids and half the cookie is you using steroids and winning. Then the full cookie represents you winning the race without cheating. You get more satisfactory when you win without cheating than when you win with cheating.

“I won’t cheat”

Dale Murphy

Reflection: No matter how bad a person wants to win they should never cheat. When you win by cheating you are not really winning. When you get the feeling of winning honestly is better than the feeling of winning by being dishonest. It feels better to be honest that to cheat. People should not cheat.
