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.

The History of Thanksgiving 
Thanksgiving was first celebrated when a group of pilgrims in the year of 1621 started a tradition of giving thanks because they were so delighted due to the fact that they had survived their first harsh winter and have created a successful harvest with the help of Native Americans. From then, others began celebrating for the same cause and in 1863 President Lincoln named Thanksgiving an annual celebration.
