“ATTITUDE is the mind’s paintbrush. It can color any situation”

-Anonymous

Reflection: I believe this quote means that if you have a good attitude towards things than you will be a very fun and outgoing person but if you have a bad attitude towards things than you will be a dark and gloomy. For example say your friend wants you to meet someone, if you have a good attitude things will go well but if you have a bad attitude than things will go bad and you won’t become friends. So your attitude determines the kind of person you will be if you have a good attitude than you will be a good person but if you have a bad attitude than you will be a gloomy person.

You’ll need a minimum of 2 years of college level pre-dental education before you can be admitted to dental school.

A Proverb

Reflection: I believe this quote means that if you hang around people who always choose the right than you will become like them. If you hang around people who always doing wrong than you will be like them. So it all depends on who you decide to hang around. For example if you hang around people who are smoke, drink, and skip class than you be like them. If you hang around people who are always on time for class, who have good grades than you will be like them.

“You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you”

-Jim Rohn

Reflection: This quote means that no one is going to do anything for you and that you have to do it. For example say you have a test to do no one is going to do that test for you you have to do it for yourself. You must learn to do things on your own because people aren’t going to do it for you.

                Matters of Integrity

I think that what this video might have said or try to say was that it only matters if you have integrity. If you want to be a better person one quality you must have is INTEGRITY, you must have integrity. If you don’t have integrity than you won’t have the power to stick to a promise.  Integrity is everything without integrity you will break promises easily and falter but if you have integrity than you will go the extra mile.  I can relate to this because I have also promised my mom something and I would never dare to break it.

“Visualization- Imagination: What you see is what you get.”

-Anon

Reflection: I believe this quote means that what you see in your eyes is what you will become. For example say you look in the mirror and you picture yourself going to college than you will go to college. If you picture yourself dropping out than you will be a dropout. You should always picture yourself being someone in life and not some dropout.
