Final: Part 1
The students that were chosen to be in my Interdisciplinary Project were Damian Manzo, Monica Munguia, Mariana Munoz, Stephanie Cruz, and Alexandra Toxqui. Our theme of the project was Fitness and Nutrition and our topic was, " Should every citizen be required to work out 3 times a week or face penalties?"
My group and I chose to agree with this topic because Huntington Park is ranked the #1 city with the most obese citizens. This rank helped us make our decision because we need the people that live in Huntington Park to be healthier. After we made our decision, we chose the role we wanted to play in the presentation. Monica chose the introduction, Mariana chose evidence #1 and Alexandra received evidence #2. Also, Damian got the graph, I chose the rebuttal, and Stephanie received the conclusion.
As the week of the presentation got closer, we got more nervous and anxious. Our group was not very prepared because the members did not arrive to the meeting. I spent day and night trying to memorize my part of the presentation and working on ways to sound better. On the day of our presentation, all of the members of the group were panicking because our presentation was scheduled at 4:45 and there was no sign of Damian. I was very nervous because some of the members had not yet memorized their part or had showed up.
It was 4:45 and we entered the room to present. My group and I were willing to present without Damian's presence. It was almost Damian's turn to present when we heard a knock on the door. Damian had arrived to do his part of the presentation. I was nervous and I stuttered a while when it was my turn to present. When Stephanie finished presenting, the panel did not ask any questions and we left the room. We had finally finished after so much work! This experience helped me prepare for the presentation next semester.

"When I do good,
I feel good.
When I do bad,
I feel bad."
Abraham Lincoln
Reflection: I like this quote because it gets straight to the meaning. Either you do good and feel good or you do bad and feel bad. For example, when you help your family do chores, you did good therefore you feel good. Another example is when you finish your homework on time, that feels good. Arguing with your parents is bad, that is why you feel bad after. Robbing is not good and after you do it you feel guilty, bad, and ashamed. It is always best to do what is right and good.

" Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."
-Mr. Haymore
Reflection: I believe this quote is wonderful and amazing because I also believe that people should take responsibility for what their mind thinks, what actions their bodies make, and if we are spiritually active. we should be able to recognize and claim what we think, what we do, and what we believe. I am glad these words were put together to create this spectacular quote.

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."
Richard L. Evans
Reflection: I agree with this quote because I always believe more people should start being courageous and facing what they have to do, not just staying quiet because they are not brave enough. I also believe that if there is a person who has children for example, and is a drug-user and/or alcoholic, they should be courageous and quit for the future of their children. Many people want to make changes and have some amazing ideas the only reason they are not successful is because they are not courageous and therefor they don't accomplish their dreams.

The Sting of The Scorpion
December 9, 2014
One day, a seven-year-old boy named, Patrick and his family went camping in the desert. Patrick, his parents, and others were sitting outside there tent barefoot on a mat when Patrick decided he should go for a stroll. He was debating whether or not to wear his shoes like his parents would always remind him to, or to go for a walk in sandals. Patrick decided to go for a walk in sandals because he did not plan on leaving far from were his family was camping. He had been walking for about 2 minutes when he felt a sudden painful sting on his leg. When he looked down, Patrick saw a giant, black scorpion walking away from his leg. He began to yell in pain and his parents arrived to see what was wrong. His parents carried him to the car, and drove for about 2 hours until they finally reached the nearest hospital. The doctor attended Patrick and gave him an injection on the leg to numb the pain. After this experience, Patrick learned to always listen to his parents and always wear his shoes.
Reflection: I am thankful to have been able to hear this story because it is someone else's mistake, that I learned from. I am amazed and happy that Patrick survived the sting of the scorpion at such a young age. I hope that Patrick nor anyone else eve gets stung by a scorpion again and I thank Patrick for sharing his story.

" Always do right."
Mark Twain
Reflection: I agree with Mark Twain because I believe we should always choose and do what's right. There are moments when you have to make a really hard decision and you have two options whether to choose the right or choose the wrong, deep down you know that if you make the correct decision, you will feel better and be proud of yourself because you did what was right.

When You Tell One Lie it Leads to Another
Paul Hatch
When you tell one lie, it leads to another So you lie without even trying
So you tell two lies to cover each other And each lie you tell will keep
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother, multiplying
You're in trouble up to your ears! Till the whole wide world will know
So you tell four lies to try to protect you you're lying
Then you tell five lies so folks don't suspect Then you'll be
you Suspected
Detected
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect Rejected
A life filled with worries and fears Neglected
'Cause you can't remember how many lies Disliked
you've told And you should!
And half the things you say aren't true When you lie, you're closing the door
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up On everything good
and then
Whatever will become of you?

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another."
Paul Hatch
Reflection: I do not agree with this quote because it does not make sense for many occasions. One day someone can get tired of lying and can confess all their lies; that would not lead to another lie. Some lies are not continuous and end at some point. What I'm trying to say is sometimes, at one point, someone will decide they do not want to lie anymore and will speak with the truth.

Physical Fitness
"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."
President John F. Kennedy
Reflection: I agree with President Kennedy and his words because I think they make complete sense. I also believe that our physical fitness is a very important item in our life and I personally think that people in my community should focus more on their physical fitness. Without physical fitness it is difficult to achieve what we want if we can not make actions due to the fact that we are not fit.

Basketball Game of Kindness
November 20, 2014
I thought the best video was the video about Michael given the opportunity to play in the basketball game. The coach was very generous and kind for have given him the opportunity of playing despite the fact that the team would win or lose. Another fact about the video that I believed was very considerate and amazing was the the opponent let Michael shoot the ball, even if he was in the opposite team. This was a wonderful video I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it.

"KINDNESS IS THE ESSENCE OF GREATNESS."
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Reflection: I don't completely agree with this quote because I can not find how being kind can lead to greatness. I mean you can be really kind but not bright and so I believe that will not help you become a great person. The definition of "great" cannot be explained in one word. Being great is a combination of several ideas mixed together, in my opinion.

“Doing what is

I agree with the quote because I believe
that our virtues are much greater and meaningful than winning or losing. At the
end, winning or losing won’t matter, what will matter is if we chose the right,
followed the correct paths, and treat others the right way. This quote
translates that winning or losing won’t matter to you 30 years from now. In my
