  “Character is higher than intellect.”

                                      

       

                       Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: I agree with what Ralph Waldo is saying in this quote. Character is higher than intellect. If you have bad character you will not have any friends and people will not like you. If you have good character you will be surrounded by good people and people will think of you as a good person. This makes me agree with him in thinking that character is higher than intellect. It doesn’t really matter how smart you are but how much you try and do it in a good way.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

 In my opinion I think that I would not like to be a health sciences librarian. I think that I would get really bored of my job really fast. I would like to be something more important that just someone who gives out information. They do get paid well annually but I really think that it is something that I would want to work in.

Brigham young university Basketball player Mormon Church Missionary

Reflection: I agree with what Tyler Haws is saying in this quote. I agree with him because after watching the two videos of what he has done and accomplished with hard work it has convinced me that he is right. He has worked really hard like waking up in the morning two hours earlier to go to school so that he can go to church and practice. An example that I can give is if you can imagine a person like him working really hard to accomplish something you will achieve your goal if you try your best. In the other hand if you have a goal but you start forgetting about it and you try at all in achieving the goal you may never accomplish it. It all depends in how much you try.

   Elizabeth Bathory

Elizabeth Bathory was the daughter of George Bathory and Baroness Ana Bathory who were one of the most powerful protestant families in Hungary and numbered warlords. Because of Elizabeth’s sadistic behavior people said that she might have been insane from childhood. Elizabeth fell pregnant and gave away her child in a foster home to be raised by peasants.  Ferenc her husband had shown her many ways to punish the peasants. There are tales of them making diabolical rites patronizing Satanists. After ten years of marriage she had three kids. Because her husband was absent so much Elizabeth started torturing young servant girls for her pleasure. She would beat them with a barbed lash and a heavy cudgel then she would drag them naked into the snow and doused with cold water till they were frozen to death. After her husband died she transferred herself to the royal court in Vienna and spent most of her time in her castle. After striking a servant girl while she was brushing her hair the blood appeared to her that reduced the signs of aging in her skin. It was said that Elizabeth then started taking baths with her virgin female servants to reduce aging. People ignored all these things until January 1611. She was never convicted of any crime but she was wailed up within her bed chamber with only small slits for ventilation and to give her food. After three years Elizabeth was found dead in her castle on April 21, 1614.

Pursuit by Florence

A topic that interests me is what happened yesterday on March 17, 2015. Yesterday I heard a helicopter pass by my house so I had the curiosity of turning on the news. What I saw on the news was that really close to my house by Florence there was a 90 minute pursuit in south Los Angeles.  In this pursuit it involved a suspected stolen red sedan in the Florence area. The pursuit began at like 6:45 p.m. in Norwalk after deputies had spotted a vehicle that had been stolen that same day in the city of South Gate. The driver led deputies from the 105 freeway to the 110. The pursuit continued through south L.A. and Walnut where the driver ran over a spike strip. The driver kept going even after the car had a flat tire. While I was watching this at my house I couldn’t stop laughing because I didn’t know what was going through hat lady’s head. She didn’t give up I think that she actually though she was going to get away with it. What made me laugh the most was when the dark skinned man mad a run for it when he didn’t really have a chance to escape from three policemen. This made me think how many crazy people there is in the world.

“True independence and freedom only exist in doing what’s right.”

                        Brigham Young

                    

Reflection: I agree with what Brigham young says in this quote. I believe that independence and freedom only exists in doing whats right. If you don’t do good things in life your life wouldn't be good and you wouldn't be free. For example if you go into a store and you steal something because you don’t have money. You are doing a crime and for that you will go to jail. You chose to steal from the store nobody was making you steal and because of that you lost your freedom. In the other hand if you are an independent person and you get a job you will have money to buy whatever you want without choosing the wrong and you will still have your independence and your freedom. In my opinion I think that you should always choose the right.
