" Always do right."- Mark Twain By "Always do right" I think Mark Twain means always do the right thing.Even if we are being pressured to do something bad we need to do the right thing and say no. One example of doing the right thing is helping pick up someones books or papers if they dropped them. You don't need to know the person you just have to do the right. Another example of doing the right is not stealing. There was recently a case where three UCLA basketball players were arrested in China for stealing. They not only stole from one store they stole from three stores. The three players were terminated from the team and they will have to earn their way back. These three players did not do the right thing and suffered a consequence.

They people you surround yourself with is the person you will become. There will be many challenging decisions in life but its all up to you to decided which is right.

Over the week of Thanksgiving break I did many things. The one thing I did the most was watch Christmas movies. My favorite that was shown on T.V. was Elf. I also completed my homework which included reading a book and writing a letter to the author. The book I was assigned was Fahrenheit 451. This book is about a guy named Guy Montag that is a fireman but instead of putting out fires he sets them. The book is set in the 24th century and books are banned because they make people think. After about 10 years working as a fireman he meets 17 year old Clarisse McClellan who makes him realize that his job is wrong. Also, over the Thanksgiving break I attended a Key Club event. In this event I helped out with the counting of how many toys were left over from last years toy drive. This year city council plans to give away 5,000 toys in their annual toy drive so I was asked help with inventory. It was a great experience and I would definatly do it again. Lastly, my family and I met togther at
