"Its not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." - Dr. Randy Pausch

                      What this quote is saying is that it doesn't matter what you need to do to achieve your dreams. What matters is how you are leading your life. If you are leading your life the right way, the karma (ex: Good luck, destiny) in your life will take care most of it. He says the dreams will then come to you. An example for this quote is when people know who you are and what kind of person you are. If you're not a very good person they will most likely don't want you in the workplace even you worked pretty hard. But if they heard all the good you have done and they know you have a spirit, they will most likely want you to work for them. In the end, your character plays a important role when trying to achieve your dream

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation."- Theodore Roosevelt

What this quote is saying is that the most important thing you can do for this country is educate someone's body, mind, and his character. The reason to this is because in the future there is a chance those people will make the important decision that will effect everyone. For example you don't know who or what kind of person might become the president of USA. So that is why people should educate their body mind and character. Another example is you don't know who might become a cop. A person that is suppose to protect the innocent and he might be corrupt. So this is why Roosevelt said we should educate our mind, body, and character because anyone, probably in a few years will decide the destinies of the nation.

This one is called “Yum Yum!” where you interview hospital patient satisfaction and then you inform them about healthy choices. To apply for volunteer work on this website you have to give them your name, zip code, and email.

"Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well- being." - Mr. Haymore

               What this quote is saying is to take responsibility for your own wellness. For example, taking responsibility for your body involves avoiding anything that will harm it. Doing drugs and taking anything else that is toxic for your body for example. For your mind make sure you will avoid anything that will stress or anything that will harm your mind. You should always have a good spirit because it will help people know who you are. It is also important you also have a well maintain physical body and mental health.

       In LAUSD.net they give you a couple services and that includes stuff called Welcome Students, Student life, Student tools & Resources, Graduation Requirements, College & Career info, Online learning in LAUSD, and Student email Access. In welcome students, obviously it begins to welcome LAUSD students and start to say how we matter, we can become smart, and we are our future and they also said they will help us get in into college or enter a career we love. In student life there are some links and some of them are called Code of conduct with students, School menus, student health & human resources, and school safety. In student tool & resources they give us some useful links and that include LAUSD Facebook/twitter, Digital Library, pupil services, and parent student handbook. In graduation requirements they say will make new graduation plans for 2016 into two phases by raising the standards for LAUSD graduates by moving forward with implementation of A-G college-prep requirements for LAUSD graduation as adopted in 2005, and reestablishing the minimum number of credits to graduate from 230 to 210 (including Health) so students have more chances to prepare for and pass A-G courses and lastly raising the current passing grade for A-G courses to a “C” or better for the graduating Class of 2017 and beyond so students who apply to any public California university can automatically be considered for admission.
