The choices we make  are very important because they don't only affect you but also everyone around you. Sometimes you may think that the littlest choices don't matter but when they all start adding up they might turn out to be the ones that have the biggest impact on you. For example, you probably don't think that not doing your homework is a big choice but every time you think to yourself  " oh its just one it won't affect my grade ",  all the assignments start adding up and by the end your grade will have changed so fast when you thought it wasn't such a big deal. All choices lead to actions and those actions will determine how your future will be. When making a choice you have to take your time and  think it through, always think of how it may affect you and  even the ones around you not just in the present but also in the future. No matter what the outcome is good or bad, know that everything you overcome makes you a stronger wiser person.

        From reading self reliance i have learned to always follow your own ideas not what others want you to think. No matter what people think or might say to you, you should never want to change just to fit in because being yourself is always better.

respect my authority

One example of authorities threatening me to not be myself is the principals, security, and teachers for dress code. They don't let us wear what we want. Just for wearing a tank top or a strapless shirt they send us to the office to change instead of letting us stay in class and learn. I doubt our shoulders will distract the teachers from teaching or even any other student. But by taking us out of class to go change they're taking away time that we could be during our work just for showing shoulder. An example of an authority letting me being my best self is a teacher or parent who will always encourage you to do your best and one who has hope that you will succeed.

I was surprised when i saw that i got a B- because i honestly didn't understand the stories. I think i got a B- because i didn't just make things and i actually added good details. At first i didn't think i deserved that grade but once i started to think about it i agreed that i deserved a B- because i tried,compared the theme and tone of the two stories, and used evidence from the story. I didn't get a good grade on my vocabulary test but i have some post on my blog and i do my journals. I think i deserve a C because i may not do all the work but i do some and i try.
