Together Everyone Achieves More
ANON

I think that when people work as a team it can open possibilities of new ways to achieve what it is they want to achieve. For example if a girl from basketball wants to quit the team it wouldn’t be the same as when we had her with us so by the team telling her and encouraging her to stay so we can achieve our goal of winning and she wouldn’t quit that could be an achievement. Little ways like this can be a great example just like a group project in school everyone has to work on something if one doesn’t it won't get as good of a grade but together you can get an A. 
·         Teamwork
·         Adults working together
·         A steep hill
·         Blue sky
·         Working together can be an advantage
·         People reaching their goals
·         If a person needs help there are people to help them
·         It might be hard to reach the top but by working together you can achieve it
·         Adults

·         We can do it.

“Your mind is a garden your thoughts are the seeds… You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds…”
ANON
Well if your thoughts are a seed then you can either have flowers which will be the good vibes or you can have weeds which will be the bad vibes. Your mind is a garden so it can be either good or bad. I think an example of this would be if you have bad thoughts like you just want to quit school or do drugs that would be that your thoughts are like weeds which means you have bad thoughts. 
What’s on your mind?

I really just want this day to go by quicker so I can go home and take a nap before basketball practice. I’m also regretting taking a nap at 6 pm last night because I couldn’t sleep till around 2 am and now I am super tired and I just want to go home. 
Histology Specialist

Histologists are also referred to as Histotechnologists which includes both Histologic Technicians and Histologist. They both prepare tissue samples that are used by physicians to determine if a patient has a disease, dysfunction, or malignancy.

I wouldn't like to be a histologist specialist because it doesn't interest me at all and it would also take a long time to become a histologist.

“A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.”
Napoleon Hill



If you have a positive attitude to reaching your goals, you will find that you can achieve them by just staying positive and keeping an open mind about it. For example I set a goal for myself to graduate high school because I didn't get to walk the stage in middle school. This being my last year I am a senior and almost to the point in reaching my goal by being open minded and positive that I will achieve and pursue my goal.

“We become what we think about.”
Earl Nightingale


I think it depends on the person’s perspective. I mean it can only apply to those who are determined and motivated to act on what they think about instead of just thinking about it and not acting upon it. For example many people have a new year’s resolution that they want to lose weight but I know for a fact only have of those who act upon it go through with the resolution while others just give up. But those who are motivated to act on what they think about they can become successful because they always go through with what it is they are thinking about.

I would like to be a health educator if I had to choose something in the medical field because you are going to be teaching others about health and won’t have to deal with seeing blood or even performing a surgery and that is what scares me the most.

“Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit.”
James Allen


I think this quote also reflects to your future families. If you are good and you continue to do what is right throughout your life it will create a huge impact on your families. Your children will know right from wrong. I also think that by having good thoughts you can achieve things you think you couldn’t do. But if you have bad thoughts you might just end up in a wrong direction and you might not be able to achieve what you thought you could when you had good thoughts.
