“Envy is ignorance”; this is a relatable quote because people ignore or are ignorant about what they already have. What Emerson is saying is that you’re being selfish if you envoy something or someone. “Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words thoughout contradict everything you said today”; is is relatable because in order to set a challenge for yourself you need to set a goal for you today and speak or act harshly about it. Then then next day you do it all over again. “To be great is to be misunderstood”; This is true and relatable because every great person has been misunderstood if you think about it. People like Steven Hawking and Albert Einstein, they’ve all been misunderstood.

“Renew thyself completely each day, do it again and again and foreve again”; this is relatable because If you want a simple life you have to renew yourself each day. This way as Emerson says causes reinvigoration each day. “To be awake is to be alive”; this is relatable because it seems that most people that have their head on straight they seem to be the most “alive” people. And they all seem to be the brightest kinds of people. “It is far more glorious to carve and paint the medium through which we look”; What this means that it is more important to change what we see rather than change what we see. To be able to change yourself you must change how you see.

Our list of virtues is patience, honesty, respect & open-mindedness. To achieve patience you must wait for others, for honesty you need to be truthful to others, for respect you must treat others the way you would like to be treated and the last virtue is open-mindedness and to do that you need to say what’s on your mind to others and listen to what other people have to say without ignoring them.

I playlacrosse at CHHS. Last season we went 4-14 and we missed the playoffs by a number of games. We had lost 3 game sin overtime and lost another 4 by 3 or less goals. That wasbasically the story of our season, never being able to close out our games. ThIs year with a new coach I feel like we can have a much better season than last year and make it to the playoffs. I feel that this year my teammates will be able to never back down and to never give up. On the field I think it’s all about respect; respet for your teammates and the opposing team. It’s also about loyalty being able to go to practice everyday and to give it your all.
