and gave it to Lieutenant Daily.The reason for him doing this was because his father was a solider as well and he was thanking Daily for his service as a solider.He then went to his fathers grave alone and told his father about it.This was a great act of honor and for a kid his age his actions are surely surprising and impressive.If more people would just take a second to appreciate others and be more giving than we'd all be better off.This is definitely something we all can learn from.

Reflection:Honor to me is a lot like respect.It's kind of like abiding by your own code or law.Do what is just and not letting others actions or opinions affect you or your choices.Honor is a matter of respect not only to others,but to yourself and your beliefs.Without honor people will not fully come to respect you.

Would you like to be one?Why or Why not? I would be ok with this occupation though it's not something I'd be really into.It kind of seems pretty cool though how you go and inspect stuff.I also believe you rate the cleanness of restaurants as well.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation;for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."
*Nothing says Merica' like Washington on a Dinosaur*
George Washington
Reflection:Sometimes hanging around people with poor character can affect you and cause you to subdue to their poor behavior and habits.Surround yourself around the type of people you want to be.As for being alone instead of being in the company of bad people it is better.Choose out the people you hang around carefully because if they do something bad it can and possibly will come to you.

Reflection:So what I get from this that even though it's mostly true it's still a lie if some of it isn't true.The real question is,is right always right?Define the meaning of right.Now what is that meaning?I could ask you and several others the same question and not one answer would be the same. Yea,similar,but not entirely spot on.We all have our different opinions on what is right and sometimes lieing isn't always a bad thing.Sometimes we do it ,but with all the good intentions.

Christian Lunsford & Tana Herndon

This was a very touching story,even if it was just a little act of kindness.

    A boy at the age of 15, by the name of Christian had wanted to go to a band trip. A few weeks prior to this, Christian received $250 dollars from his father, paying the full extent of the band trip price.
    Then, as luck would have it, it turned out that the father had attained the money by less than decent means. He'd stolen the money, from none other than an old woman, mourning her husband's death in the cemetery. In total, he'd taken $700 dollars from the unsuspecting 78-year old Tana Herndon.
    As soon as Christian found out, he went ahead and returned the money, to the surprise that Tana was so grateful, that she let him keep the money to go on that band trip he wanted.

What the boy did was a very kind thing.I'm not so sure that I can say the same for myself.  $250 dollars isn't just something you can give a way just like that,yet he did it.
It's stuff like this that puts my faith in humanity back on track and hoping for the best.
