DO NOW: Vince Lombardi Qoute

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." 

- Vince Lombardi

This quote is saying you do not have be the strongest, most intellectual, or most knowledgable person to be successful.  Although you can be, that is not what it really takes to succeed. Anyone with the greatest ambition and determination will be successful, everything else is just a bonus.

DO NOW: Richard Sheridan Quote

"The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed." - Richard Brinsley Sheridan 

This quote means that the only way you will fail is if you are not determined to succeed. To succeed, you have to have confidence and believe in yourself that whatever you want to do is possible if you have determination.

ARTICLE: Gay Parents and their Children's Support

Not all Children Raised by Gay Parents Support Gay Marriage

This article was about a man who had been raised by lesbian parents. He went on to talk about how the children of gay parents do not support or go along with gay marriages because of their individual beliefs.  He stated,
"The children thrown into the middle of these moral hazards are well aware of their parents’ role in creating a stressful and emotionally complicated life for kids, which alienates them from cultural traditions like Father's Day and Mother's Day."
From reading this article, I believe that the children are entitled to their own beliefs, whether it contradicts the situation with their parents or not.


QUESTION: What do you think about the stereotype that all children raised by gay parents should support gay marriage? Why or Why not?

Michael Jordan Quote

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

-Michael Jordan

This quote means that the mistakes you make or the failures you experience do not happen for nothing; you experience these things to better yourself and make you push harder to succeed. We have to learn from our mistakes and move on.
