“Chris Paul Scores For His Grandfather”

To summarize, the theme of this video was that Paul never gave up. In the beginning his only reason of playing, was because his grandfather was always there to join him and cheer for him. However, murder comes to his grandfather, and it’s not long before Paul realizes the horrible news. He thought he was doomed and that there was no more reason to play since his grandfather wasn’t going to be there anymore. This character finds out the truth, that he should honor him by playing for him, even if he wasn’t going to be there. Playing and scoring 61 points was all for his grandfather, and since that was his goal during that day he set it and accomplish

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

~Arnold H. Glasgow

Glasgow is saying that our life is just like a football game( of course not literally). When we start the game you need to know what the rules are. But what are the rules in life? Well that is one question we need to ask ourselves. How do you want to live this life, whether in vain or with reason. Once the game starts all the players need to know where the goal is right. However, do we know what is is in our life? We sometimes wander around as if we don’t have a reason to live. Of course we, but we just need to open our eyes and see it. Just like any game, we don’t know how it’s going to end, but we put our hopes in it that we or our team wins, Let’s do the exact same thing now, and live our change.

Au Pairs

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Being an au pair means caring for your host children on a full-time basis. During your au pair experience you will play with them, be responsible for their safety, and help with some other childcare related duties such as preparing meals and driving them to activities.

Salary: US$13,200 to US$20,400

Education:

• Education Requirement. All au pairs are required to take 6 credits (or the equivalent of approximately 80 hours in the classroom) over the course of their year. Host families will pay up to $250 toward education for a six month stay and $500 for a 9 or 12 month extension on the standard and Extraordinaire programs.

Demand:

• Half a globe away from the EU, another country experiencing a shift in au pair popularity is Australia, where demand has doubled since 2011 due to a child care shortage. The Cultural Au Pair Association of Australia (CAPAA) plans to ask the country’s Productivity Commission to consider shifting to a US-style system, which provides au pairs with dedicated visas.

Reflection:

           My serious opinion about this job is that I love it. My dream has always changed since the first day I wanted to become a nurse, to this day where I want to now become a babysitter. Dreams can change but the thing is that at least our hope doesn’t. Our goals and finish lines are still waiting for us out there, but we must not give up on them. I think this job would help me become a better person of myself since it’s working with children of other families around the world.

“Only those live who do good.”

~Count Leo Tolstoy

Only those who do good will live longer and happier. People with reason are the ones who tend to succeed in this life. No one gets why you have to do good, until the day you need someone to do good to you. This means that in our minds we don’t care or seem to care about anyone else. However, when we need those people (whom we didn’t care about) it’s probably too late. Maybe if we just become more open-minded, maybe we can see the world how it really is. After all the consequences and obstacles in life, I think people, or we, should already learn the things that distract us and the things that pull us towards our finish line. If we don’t be more careful then all these things that we don’t want, will come to us. My advice for everyone is to just become a better person of ourselves, not only for the people around us that we care about, but also for ourselves.

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that. It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

~Dr. Ben Carson

This quote shows us that anything can change and be different if we stand up against it. Many of us want things to be different, but do we try to change it? We might put thought into it and maybe even tell it to another as if it was a plan, but not many of us have the guts to go out and stand up for what you think is right. As humans, it’s okay to make mistakes, but that can’t stop us from doing anything or everything. We’re just afraid, and that’s okay but if we want to make a difference like Dr. Ben Carson or any other hero, we have to show the world and actually do it. Once you’re done what you wanted to change, you’ll just see a big difference inside of you and others, and then later on they might even thank you, but for sure you will receive what you deserve which is not a bad consequence but a god one.

“Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.”

~Russell M. Nelson

With everyone doing it, people start believing that it’s not bad to do wrong. This quotes states that even with seeing humanity being cruel and changing the rules of homicide, it’s never right to believe it, see it, or even try it. There is always a price to pay after doing something you know was wrong. Whether you pay it sooner or later, karma is real. Not only are we talking about karma here, but also being punished. Not obeying the law (any kind) is always going to lead you to failure. As a saying says, heroes always win, and guess what? Thinking of doing the wrong choices isn’t exactly being a hero. So, if you’re mind is telling you that what you’re seeing others do is okay for you to do too, then you should already be prepared for what’s coming.
