''I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls--walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground--there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first! Karl G. Maeser


This quote means that once somebody gives you their word then they should be loyal and always keep that promise no matter what the circumstances are. Karl G. Maeser is saying that if he were to be stuck in jail he would try to escape. But if he gives you his word that he won't leave then he'll live by his word and stay in jail forever. In my opinion if someone is loyal enough to keep their promise then they should be respected because it's not always easy. If you trust someone and they disappoint you then that can really hurt you because you lost trust in someone you love

1. Can people trust me to do what's right? 2. Am I committed to doing my very best? 3. Do I treat people they way I want to be treated? ''If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail'' by Lou Holtz If I always do what's right with out people telling me or reminding me then that makes me look mature and makes me gain peoples trust. If your trying to achieve something then why not try your best and put all your effort into what your doing.Treating people with kindness and friendliness makes you feel good because then everyone looks at you differently and with respect.They also start treating you like an adult because they've seen that you've matured. For example if your a rude kid and is always rebellious then people are going to ignore you and not get in your way so they wont have to deal with you. But if you are kind and respectful then people admire you because most teenagers are rude and try to be funny or ''cool

''Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly''  by Otto Graham, Jr. When you know something is wrong then you shouldn't do it even if you think it will benefit you. For example the video of the homeless man shows that you should do the right no matter what because if he would have exchanged the ring for 4 thousand dollars it wouldn't have been worth it because instead the kept the ring and the lady that owned it helped him get money because people wanted to donate. He also found his family and got reunited with them after 16 years and in my opinion that's way better than 4 thousand dollars. Every human being should know the difference between right or wrong. So whenever were in a situation when were tested to do the right then you should just do it. Because something great may come out of it. Making the right choices makes you feel good about yourself because you know that you could have done the wrong but you were being a smart person.
