" In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."
Theodore Roosevelt
Reflection; I agree with this quote and I think everyone should remember it before they make a decision. An example to this quote would be you and your friend are doing your homework together. Your friend finishes all of their homework but you do not understand it. They try to explain it to you, but you do not understand. It is time for your friend to go home and they forget their homework at your house. You have 2 options on how to respond to the situation. The first option is you get the homework and deliver it to their house immediately , or you copy all of their answers and return it to them the following day. The right thing to do is take your friend their homework immediately without hesitating.
Life Planning Progress Report

The goal that I got super astonished and joyful about was when I achieved getting straight A's in my progress report. Another goal I really enjoyed achieving was when I passed my biology test. The goal I am looking forward to achieve is passing all of my classes this semester. Another goal I am hoping to reach is joining a soccer team. By the end of the year, I hope I have at least 1,000 goals! I hope I get to accomplish all the things I have planned to do and reach. Some of these goals might take a while to reach. One of my goals that I hope I reach when I am older is take my family on a family vacation. Another one is to buy my dream car, a cadillac cts v coupe. I hope I can achieve all my goals.

Mr. Bob was 37- years- old when a peculiar yet wonderful idea occurred to him. Mr. Bob was lived in Albany, New York when his idea started. He wanted to change peoples lives and make them better.

Doctor Bob was different from other doctors. In his office you didn't have to worry about insurance policy coverage. Doctor Bob did not charge a penny, although he would accept donations. His dream became true, he helped people who were in desperate needs and going through difficult times in life. If you didn't have money for your daughter's birthday, you didn't have to worry because doctor Bob would try his best to help. If you needed money for a medicine that you couldn't afford, there was no need to panic because there was hope that Doctor Bob would help. Mr. Bob wasn't just a doctor, he was a friend.
Mr. Bob really inspired me to help others without expecting something in return because he opened up a hospital and didn't charge anyone for his services. I really liked this story and I want to become someone like Bob.

Pam Knox
Reflection: I agree with this quote because I have experienced a few situations in which something similar tot this quote occurs. On the day before I became a 9th grader at Linda Marquez, students had to come to school to meet each other and participate in several activities. One of the first activities required volunteers. No one got up to volunteer and the teachers looked impatient and worried. However, I decided to be courageous and I got up and became the first volunteer. The teachers looked relieved and joyous because it seems as if I inspired others to volunteer as well. I was very proud that I stepped up despite that I was nervous.
