Reflection

These ten tips can benefit me because i will improve in being honest and trustworthy to people. I think that these ten tips can help change a person who lies onto a person who is honest and reliable. Each tip will improve your ways of telling the truth and decrease the amount of times you lie. Nothing would be better to live in a world where people do not lie because then you wouldn't have to worry about untrustworthy people. One example of me applying these tips to my life is by watching out for silent lies. There always silent lies but we just don't know because they are silent so you will not find out until someone tells who knows. Another example is using the first tip which is to make a commitment to tell the truth. I then that by following this tip you wont ever lie again because you are already committing to it.The third example is by following tip ten in this tip it just tells you that when telling the truth you feel good about yourself because you are doing something good. Which is a good thing when trying to improve your trustworthy skills. My last example can be is tip four, many people who tell stories or events get carried away and start to input lies into there stories to make it better but in reality that is not the way to go so it better of not to do that and just stick to the truth. These ten tips are important to live with because it will change you as a person either internally or externally.

Spring Break

    During my spring break i did a couple of things, for example i played basketball everyday around 6:30 pm. I also played some video games and cleaned my house from time to time. Some of the places that i went to is a wedding, my grandma was getting married and she invited me to come. It was very cool and fun. A couple days later i go eat at Albert's with my parents. What i really like from that restaurant is that the food they serve is really good. 3 days pass by and i go to downtown with a close friend of mine. We went to check out a new store that was there and it was a interesting experience. Some of the movies that i watched are Boss Baby and Fate and the Furious. Boss baby was a funny and cool movie to watch. i watch it with some cousins of mine that were younger than me. Then Fate and the Furious, i have to say this movie was an excellent movie it was filled with emotions and a lot of action that just thrilled me. Then there was a fair that was going on so i went to it with my aunt.  Some of the sports that i have been watching are basketball. I think that basketball is cool to watch because you never know when it can go down during a game. Some of the ctr actions that i did over the break was when a person that i knew ask me to go and steal with him but i refuse to go because i knew it was wrong so i just left home. The only homework's and project that i did over the break were math homework and a project for computer class. They were not to difficult to complete i only had a few problems in the math section but that is it. Other than that i stayed home and sleep or watch YouTube because this what i mostly watch. The last thing that i did was catching up the episodes that i missed from The Flash.
