Student Success Statement

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Charles Ketterer

This quote means that our goals are the start of our future. If we don’t have any goals we won’t have a future to look up to. Most people have been successful just because they wrote a goal on a notebook and started working to achieve that goal. So we must create our own future no one else will.\

"Bless You"

“Bless You”

When a person sneezes we usually say “Bless You”. Most people don’t know why they say those words so let me explain it to you. Wishing someone well after they sneeze started about thousands of years ago. Romans said this but in a different form. Most would think that sneezing is a sign of a plaque that wanted to get inside the person’s body. By saying these words you will think that the person will live a long life.  Saying these words will wish a person who sneezes good health in their lifetime. Some people believe that when someone sneezes the body might try and leave the body. Others think that the devil is trying to get in your body and Saying “Bless You” will stop it from “obtaining your body”. Since people say that our hearts stop every time we sneeze bless you is another way of saying welcome back from the dead. Pretty weird don't you think.

But she called the police and said that she had found the bag and she returned the money to the old man. she says that she believes in the bible and that she is christian. also she says that she may have not been rewarded for her honest action, but she believes that the reward will come from a superior source

History Of Basketball

History of Basketball

The person who invented the sport basketball was a man name Dr. James Naismith. It was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts on January 20, 1892. Dr. James wanted people to play a sport during the winter time so he created basketball. He took two tall polls and nailed one peach basket in each poll. Then he put the polls away from each other and grabbed a ball and taught others how to play. Most of the rules Dr. James wrote are still used today but some have been modified or new rules have been introduced. At the start people were still getting used to the new game and didn’t quite understand the rules. The first game was played for 30 minutes and the final score was 1-0. A man named William R. Chase scored the first basket in the game. Over the years the game started to get popularity and more people started to play. Today basketball is pretty much the same but with a few rules added or modified. Now more people like playing the game and famous players like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James have shown how much they love the sport and influence others to like the sport.
