                 " Kindness is the essence of greatness."

                                           Joseph B. Wirthlin


                         Theres nothing better then kindness and greatness. Whenever I do something good I always feel so good afterwards. For example the class of leadership organized a day after school as a teachers appreciation day. We cleaned the whole leadership classroom, organized the table and also brought them food from our homes. It was a lot of work and it took timing, planning and preparation but honestly it all was worth it when we seen each and every teacher walk in the room with a big simple and surprised look on their faces. It's those kind of things that make you want and do more for those you care. I have not known my teachers for a long time but the short amount of time that I got to know them let's me know what great teachers they are and how much we should appreciate them for all there hard work even if it may seem we don't care it's always nice to here you are appreciated. We did an act of kindness and it felt great.

                "If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true don't say it."

                                     

     
                                                         Marcus Aurelius



                     This success statement can be pretty easy to follow and understand. The first sentences states "if it is not right do not do it" it can't get no more simpler then this. You know what's right and what's wrong if you know going out with your friends to smoke and drink is wrong don't do it because believe it or not your only harming yourself. Not only will you be lying to you parents about what you will be doing but you will also be harming yourself by lying, smoking and drinking at an age when you should not be doing those things. The second statement says "if it is not true don't say it" everything you hear with your friends or other people don't believe unless there is prove or you have seen it for yourself. If a friend tells you something bad about another person but you know that person has never done anything to you don't go in believing rumors stick to only the truth.

                            Dental Assistant


Duties and Responsibilities: Dental Assistant is the operator in providing more efficient dental treatment, by preparing the patient for treatment, sterilizing instruments, passing instruments during the procedure, holding suction devices, exposing dental radiographs, taking impressions, and fabricating provisional crowns. Dental operators can focus more time on the procedure; the dental assistant then effectively becomes the operator's extra hands.


Salary: $23,550-$47,580


Education:In some states, dental assistants can work in the field without a college degree, while in other states, dental assistants must be licensed or registered.Dental assistants are required to meet the minimum certification to work in the field.The Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association accredits dental assisting school programs, of which there are over 200 in the United States. To become a Certified Dental Assistant dental assistants must take the  Dental Assisting National Board CDA examination after they have completed an accredited dental assisting program, or have at least two years of on-the-job training as a dental assistant. Some dentists are willing to pay a dental assistant-in-training that has a good attitude and work ethic.

Reflection: In my personal view i think that becoming a dental assistant is not that difficult. I know a few people who work as dental assistants and including a family member of mine also works in a dentist office but that wouldn't be a job i would like to do for the rest of my life. The job is easy and not difficult but the pay is not so good. I wouldn't like to have and check peoples mouths for a living. It doesn't seem as important in my personal view that's why i couldn't like or consider myself working as a dental assistant.

   " It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."
                               

       

                             



                                                             James Freeman Clark


  
       

                It certainly will make a difference to all eternity if we choose the right or wrong. If you are a very intelligent person who studied in medication and got his doctors odds are that you will choose the right and help those in need instead of keeping all that knowledge to yourself. You will better our community by helping those who are sick. Another example is if you join the army or any other u.s armed force you will learn many techniques with guns and  protecting yourself. You can choose the right thing by serving your country and using the techniques against those who are harming us or you can choose the wrong and use it against those who have done nothing wrong to you. The decisions you make in life whether right or wrong will affect the future of others and yourself.

It is a federal holiday that is celebrated on November 11 held on the anniversary of the end of World War I.

My older brother served in the marines and died giving his life to our nation, since he turn 18 he left and passed away at the age of 27. That was always his dream to defined our homeland and protect it that's why I know that he is in a better place and that he died doing what he wanted. Not only did my older brother served in the marines but also my second brother joined the air force and as of right now he is actually in training. I know what it feels like to lose the people you love to war but I know my brothers death waste in vain and I know that in my heart he was doing the right thing. That's why I thank each and soldier, marine, air force and navy who are out there risking their lives for the protection of our nation and self.

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

  These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity.

                                                          W. Clement Stone


Doing the right thing might be more hard then doing the wrong thing. Kids and even parents sometimes get influence or under the bad temptation in choosing the wrong. But you have to have to courage to say no, you will make a bigger impact in your life if you say or do the wrong thing, that's called consequences. Believe it or not they will happen if you don't go down the right path. W. Clement Stone stated in his quote to have to courage to say no and face the truth. Trust me it might be hard at that moment but coming clean to someone shows a lot of respect in your behalf.
