Video Response: Mitch McKey

In this video, we watched about a teenage boy who did one of the most respectable acts ever to be done. He won the wrestling championships for his beloved father. Before the father's passing, Mitch wanted to win a title and a match and dedicated it to his dad. By doing so, he would get up 6 o'clock every morning just to lift. He worked so hard to lift. He ended up becoming stronger and stronger tot he point where he almost never lost a fight. He was unbeatable. He won his title all for the dedication of love he had for his father. This is an example of hard work that pays off immensely.

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-          Benjamin Franklin

Reflection:

I think what Franklin says is that just because you have better things than other people, doesn’t make you superior than them.  By having a good heart you will exceed most people because they don’t see how good it can be to be nice and caring and diplomatic. You might be rich but that doesn’t mean you are a better person. Actions determine who you really are

There is a lot of debate on the color of the dress. Some people were saying if it was gold and white or black and blue. Millions of teens and young adults have been discussing all day yesterday and all of this morning. Many posts have been saying it changes color due to your mood. People are saying that it’s about a view of perspective. Some say it’s because of brightness adjustment. I see gold and white. What color do you see?

“The true way to honor the past is to improve upon it.”

N. Eldon Tanner

Reflection:

I think what this quote is trying to say is that the only way to honor the past and to improve it, is to actually improve the pros of it. Not the cons. Always choose the right on improving things to make the past seem a brighter day and to uphold a new habit for future memories and recollections.
