Woolworth Sit-In

The protest took place in Woolworth on February 1, 1960' at 4:30 p.m four students including me from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University sat down at the lunch counter side. Something that was significant but bad is that white race people enraged and began to scream at us. White race people were mad because of the us sitting in a only white people allowed spot so only because of this they began to throw food at us, boiling hot coffee in my partners face, pies and also punched and threw us to the floor. We did nothing wrong but sit down to wait for waiter to take our order and still got accused and token to prison.

This event is important and symbolic to the U.S. because this way we can remember the things that happened in the past and bring awareness for it to not happen again in the future. David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr., and Joseph McNeil began with this movement to encourage African Americans to not be afraid and love their pride, to not show fear and be brave towards white people.

Some conclusions I can make about this event is that evidently this treatment was an act of hate and discrimination. I strongly believe that skin color does not matter when you're a person of good morals and convictions. There is no necessity to threat or incriminate someone just because of their skin pigment. My presence there was completely abolished and truly indignant. What hurt the most besides the boiling hot coffee were the sense of hatred and u appreciation towards African American race.

                    "A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I believe that this statement does not only apply to men but also women. A woman always knows where to go and what to do but when she has no goals she is simply stuck and indecisive. Whenever a man has no goals set in his life he will lose control of himself and will serve for nothing. Goals are essential in everyone's life. Having goals makes us be ambitious and seek for important stuff that we care about and want to accomplish.

"The Six Pillars of Character"

"The Six Pillars of Character"

1. Trustworthiness
    Respect
    Responsibility
    Fairness
    Caring
    Citizenship

2. Trustworthiness is being honest, having the courage to do the right thing. If my mom lends me 20 dollars and expects me to give 10 dollars i will give her that amount of money, she can trust me.

    Respect is about being tolerant and accepting of differences. If someone argues with me, I will be calm and not cuss or begin to lose myself. I will respect that persons argument.

    Responsibility is about doing what I'm supposed to do, being accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes. If I have homework due the teacher can rely in me and I will be responsible and I will turn in the homework by the day it is due.

    Fairness is about playing by the rules, not taking advantage of others. If I'm playing a game and I loose i will not be dissapointed, I will be fair and accept that i lost and simply try harder the next time.
   
   Caring is about being kind and compassionate, helping the ones in need. If i see a homeless person who is hungry and ask me for money i will lend money if I have, i will be caring and kind.

    Citizenship is about cooperating and being involved in your community. If my community is dirty and needs to be cleaned I will help clean to make our community look neat and better of a community to live in.

4.Reflection: I think that the six pillars of character make us reflection about our actions. The way we act will show the way we were raised. Whenever you follow these pillars you will be rewarded with happiness and gratitude inside your spirit and heart. Learning these manners will make you a better person.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles

Reflection: I believe that doing what you want in a correct way will bring you honor. Honor is way more important thank just winning something. Cheating is bad and always brings dishonor and disrespect to yourself. Personally I would prefer to fail and not accomplish anything with honor than accomplish and win something by cheating. I can't stand myself if I ever was to do something by cheating. Finally, I must say that the only one who can think and judge you is yourself. Be conscious of your actions and whatever actions you take you must remember that you must do it the correct way. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day "Land of the Free because of the Brave"

1. Memorial Day is to remember and commemorate those who died in active military service .

2. The purpose of Memorial Day is to demonstrate respect and honor to those who gave their life to give us and keep our freedom.

3. Memorial Day originally came May 30th, but now it has been changed to the last Monday in May.

4. A few ways you can show honor and respect on Memorial Day are having parades and voluntarily keep silence for some minutes and demonstrate honor and respect to those who died for our country. And remember all gave some, some gave all.

5. 

6. Did you know that Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day, for the practice of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags. Federal Law declared Memorial Day the official name in 1967.

7. What I would do on Memorial Day to show honor and respect would be to do a prayer to all the fallen ones that gave it all, and to those who bravely keep fighting and giving it all. This is a special day in which respect and honor are essential to our country. Finally, God bless America!

Reflection: I think that having good values is essential to all of us. When you have good values you demonstrate you are well educated and that you come from a good family. When you are polite and treat people nicely that makes people feel love and nice things for you. Whenever your feeling down and sad there is no need for you to turn people down.            

While watching this video of Dennis Pragger I realized that being honest to your feelings is very important. I realized that we humans do what we think is right and rule by what we are thought by our parents and we don't always turn to do well. But we always have the option to choose what is correct.

Doing something bad doesn't really make you a bad person, it's the action that judges you but if you recognize you did something wrong you will be forgiven in mind and spirit.

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I believe that standing alone is one of the best things you can do because standing alone does not involve anyone else's decision. When you are alone you have time to think and do things yourself. Being alone is good and also makes you think about all the things you've done. Whenever I'm alone i think about a million things, i think about how things are going and how i'm changing physically and emotionally. The favorite thing i like to do when I'm alone is think about my loved one, of how much i miss him, talk to him,  and sing.

He went to prison and was sentenced with 20 years for driving drunk at twice the speed limit and crashed into girls Lisa and Megan which instantly died. Megan was daughter of Renee.

                         "When a deep injury is done on us, we never recover until we forgive."

Alan Paton

Reflection: I think that we know when were ready to forgive or not. Sometimes you probably may never be able to forgive that person for the pain and hatred hes caused in you and that is also fine because only you know how you feel and when you may be able to forget about it instead of forgiving. No matter what people say, you are the only one who is to decide if you forgive or forget. People sometimes cause us too much pain and our hearts are broken into pieces, they sometimes make us cry, make pure tears fall down our cheeks and not because of that they are to let us down. Fight, that is my advice, fight that person, maybe not physically but with words and strong character. Many times people are so fragile and weak that their only defense is to let others fragile and weak also.

Life Planning Progress Report

So far I have accomplished 41 goals out of 84. I feel proud of my self because some of those goals were a bit hard to accomplish but i still tried and tried and I made it. I know that some other goals will take probably a whole lifetime to accomplish but i hope to live to accomplish them and i will wait and i will do all it takes to make them happen.

Some of the biggest goals I have accomplished is passing my algebra class, it was a bit hard and difficult to me since I'm kinda of a slow learner but even then i tried to make it, i stayed for tutoring sometimes, asked my partners for help and everything went well. I know that accomplishing these goals are essential to me because many of these goals are things I have always wished and wait to accomplish.

Abraham Lincoln 
Reflection: I believe that us as humans we must stick and stand next to the people who do the right. People who make us believe in yourself. The people who bring bad vibes and make us do bad things must be said goodbye to. Those who don't believe in you and make you feel bad are people who cant even believe in themselves. Being true is all about choosing what you feel is right and not caring about anything else. Only cowards aren't able to fight for what they want, cowards are afraid of everything and anything, they walk away. Therefore, cowards will never in life be happy and they are committing their life to sadness and many regrets. Hopefully, some day cowards realize that their actions are mediocre and hypocritical and decide to ask forgiveness for everything they have done.

The Smiths 

The Smiths were an English band formed in Manchester in 1982. The band consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce. Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980's.

The Smiths had several singles reach the UK top 20 and all four of their studio albums reached the UK top five, including one which topped the charts. They won significant following and remain cult favorites, although they had limited commercial success outside the UK while they were still together. The band broke up in 1987 and have turned down several chances to reunite.

The band's focus on a guitar, bass, and drum sound, and their fusion of 1960's rock and post-punk, were a repudiation of synthesizer-based contemporary dance-pop - the style popular in early 1980's. Morrissey's lyrics combined themes about ordinary people with a mordant sense of humor.

The group's cover artwork had distinctive visual style and often featured images of film and pop stars, usually in duo tone. The covers of singles rarely featured any text other than the bands name, and the band itself did not appear on the cover of any UK release. The choice of cover subjects reflected Morrissey's interest in cult film.
