Keith, the Life Changer 

                          March 12, 2015

                     There was a student at Olivet Middle School named, Keith. Kieth had a disorder but that didn't stop him from liking football like all the other guys at his school. One day, the football team members decided to do something extra-ordinary. Secretly, Justin, Parker, and the rest of the team members decided to do something very special for Keith. Behind the coaches back, they all planned to make sure Keith played in the game and made a touchdown. it took a few tries, but the time came when the referee blew the whistle, Keith catched the ball, and he did a touchdown!! Everyone was screaming with joy and keith's parents couldn't beleive this was real. the whole team got influenced by this experience. Some say they will never make a selfish decision again, and others say that keith changed their lives.

  " They're only truly great who are truly good." 


                      George Chapman 
                                            

Reflection: I believe this quote is very inspirational and honest. Only the people that choose the good, truly act and are good, are the real great ones. The great people are the ones who act with kindness and do not judge. In addition, I really like this quote because it clearly tells me you can't be great if you're not completely good, it inspires me to change.
