POST #19

Hello Scholars,

I hope this finds you all in good sprits and health. This week we are going to work on building "Our Perfect House."  We will be working with Google Slides and realtor.com. ALL of the houses we will be using will come from realtor.com.

As we focus on the work, I want you to continue to think about the person you are evolving into, the life you want to create for yourself in the future, and the type of leader you are becoming.  Continue to focus on creating a life you will be proud of now and in the future.

Please continue to make up missing assignments. We are getting close, but the game isn't over yet.  
Keep pushing forward!

Have a blessed week,

- Mr. Nunley

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO SPELLING, CAPITALIZATION AND GRAMMAR.

  1. 2. The video and quote are similar with their own message of things they do and how you have to be aware of your future. They difference with the quote is that it is specifically talking about simply those who look at the past and present will miss they're future. The video talks about fighting through life to get to where you want to be. They are both about fighting for for the same cause.

    3. The quote is to think about your future and you should always pay attention to it. The video is talking about fighting for your life no matter how complicated it may be. They are both very similar with their positive message and outlook. Never give up on your dreams. You have to mold it to your liking. You are the one that is going to be living through it. And, those people you decide should join you on your journey.

    4. I would not be so sure of what I consider myself, because in order to be a success achiever you have to be a failure avoider and I do those both. I am not so great with being successful, so I would think I am more of a failure avoider. I just really don't wan to fail.

    5. I believe something a leader should have as a characteristic is being understanding. They should be able to understand people's situation's. they should be able to help them as a leader should always do for their people.

    6. In my opinion the most important quality of a leader is their will to help people, because everyone needs help. They would have to be able to understand and help people. Be kind and generous. And, not let people out. They should let people also take care of them.

  2. 1. Watch video and take notes

    2. The video and quote are similar because they both explain to you how you can not give up when their is an obstacle blocking you from it. You have to push yourself to do more every time than what you did before. Giving up is not the way to do and it will not lead you into the path that you would want to be in.

    3. Giving up will not lead you into the correct path it will only make you fall behind instead of being ahead. You should push yourself to do better every time and not give up every time, pushing yourself to do better will make you accomplish your goal and make you be ahead. You should not look back at your past and still be concern about the mistakes you made before because those mistakes have already been made, you need to focus on the future not the past. 

    4. I consider my self a success achiever because I always push myself to do better than what I have done in the past. I push myself to do more every time in order to achieve my goal. Set goals for myself and I make sure to go in the correct steps in order to accomplish my goal.

    5. An effective leader should have positive influence towards others and be a great role model to others. They be able to communicate well with others and have a connection with the people that are struggling. They should  also want the best for others and make them become better in order for them to succeed. 

    6. In my opinion the most important quality for a leader is they should have positive influence towards others. The leaders should be a great role model toward everyone. They should inspire the ones that are struggling to do better and become a better person. A good leader should be able to help out a student or a adult to do more and do better each time. Give others advice that will inspire someone that is having a hard time.  Explain to others that giving up should not be a option and tell them giving up will not lead you into the path you would like to be in. A great leader will want the best for everyone and will help others to succeed and not fail.

  3. 1.) Watched.

    2.) The video and quote are similar because both are talking about fighting your way through life. They are different because the video was talking about how there is a point in life when we are ready to give up/ stop trying. The video says we are a warrior, there is that warrior inside of  us and we need to fight because there is victory on the other side. The quote talks about how changing is life and for those who look back to the past or present that they only look at that they are certain to miss their future. Also the quote talks about how to words, Leadership and Learning are indispensable to each other.

    3.) The video is basically saying we have a point in life which we are ready to give up, stop trying, and we take in a lot of pain, but we have that warrior inside of us that makes us fight , to never give up. It tells us that we can beat it, we have to fight back. We need to stop giving up when it gets difficult. When you are weak you quit and when your strong you fight. The quote is basically saying change is part of life and those who keeps looking only at the past and present are for sure to miss their future. Also how leadership and learning are indispensable to each other which means leadership and learning are important for each other. We have to stay focus and try not to miss our future.

    4.) I consider myself both success achiever and failure avoider because sometime I try to my best to successfully achieve things and I also try to avoid failure. If I can't successfully achieve things then I would try to avoid failing. For example if I didn't successfully achieve what I wanted then I would at least try not to fail what I wanted to do.

    5.) When I hear the word "leader" or "leadership" I think of someone who made a change to someone, a group of people, or the world. Or someone who made a big impact onto someone who needed help or just needed someone to help them pick themselves up from the ground. Among the examples I thought of, I think to be an effective leader  you have to help someone pick themselves off the ground, give them a hand, or give them good advice, or make them have a big impact in their life.

    6.) In my opinion the most important quality of a leader is to have a piece of mind. Make change to the world, make history or future. Make a huge impact into someone's life. Be the one who helps those who needs help, make them have a voice. If you want to be a leader, be a great leader, but if you want to be a follower, observe what you see from those who follow and are leaders.

  4. 1. Watch Video & Take Notes.

    2. The video & quote are similar and different in many ways. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about your future. The quote also says you need to think about your future, when it says change is the law of life. The video says you need to fight to get where you want to be. The video and quote are also different because in the video it talks about how you need to fight your way out of it & get to where you want, and the quote just talks about how to change.

    3. In my own words, the video talks about how you need to fight. You can't give up no matter what or no matter what anyone says to you. It's time for you to not give up & to keep going. If you fight, you can beat it & get to where you want to be in life. It's possible to get to the other side, you just have to push yourself and fight. Victory is on the other side, and you have what it takes to get there. If you fight, you will succeed & get to where you want.

    4. I consider myself a failure avoider. I consider myself a failure avoider because sometimes I don't make the best choices & I make mistakes. I'm not perfect so, but I try my hardest to get where I need to be.

    5. I believe that being honest, being positive, being humble, and being helpful are the best qualities for someone to be a effective leader. If you want a leader you want a leader, who's going to tell you the truth. You want a leader, that's positive & see's the bright side of things or else they would just bring you down. Also, you want to have a leader who's happy & happy to have company around them. Lastly, you want a leader who is going to helpful, and be there whenever you need their help.


    6. I think the most important quality of a leader is being honest. How can someone be a leader, but lie to people & lie about things? In order to be a leader, you have to be honest. People are looking up to you, so you need o set a great example. You can't go off lying to others, people will think that's okay & it's not. If people are asking for help & asking if something looks good & you lie, people will look bad at you because it wasn't good, but you lied to that person. You have to be truthful because once you lie, no one will believe you about anything, because they saw you as a liar.

    2. I guess the way that there both similar probably cause they both said somethings that are very important and talk about how you have got to fight your way through the hard times and not become a weak person that will not stand for nothing and do nothing about anything.

    3. There were both interesting cause just as Kennedy said about how you must look towards what the future might look like if there weren't rules set out for people then you wouldn't be looking forward you would be looking backwards. And as for the video was almost the same as the quote except that he talks about how you must fight because you must always fight as a strong person but as a weak person all your gonna end up doing is quit on finishing up what you had started.

    4. I feel that I'm kind of in the middle between those two cause I do finish once its time to finish but at times its kind of not me and I don't finish and become weakling that had done nothing to improve what I did not finish that I had started at times.

    5. I guess that what comes to mind is that an effective leader has to have the trust of the group and the strength to keep them together as one, and would have to be a great role model so that they could look up to them and would once become just like them a  "leader." 

    6. I think there are so many qualities in a leader, but I guess that one would have to be that the leader has a positive attitude threw the worse things that might be going on in there personal life and for them to not take out on others, that is the only thing that important to me cause I wouldn't want a leader that is very rude to others or there team. I just don't want to be in a group that has a leader that has very hard issues that they go through and that are very weird or mean.

  6. 1. Watch video and take notes on "Fight Your Way Through"

    2. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about how you need to push yourself even though the task may be hard which makes you want to give up. You need to push yourself in order to complete that task because it is the only way you will be able to succeed. The difference between the quote and video is that the video talks about fighting for what you want in life.The quote I think it mostly talks about change.

    3. In my own words I think the video is talking about how you need to push yourself. You can't just quit and leave everything behind. It is possible for you to accomplish something you just have to push yourself even harder because there is a side of victory and you can get there. Therefore if you fight and push for what you want then you will succeed.

    4. I consider myself a failure avoider because sometimes I don't make the right choices therefore I make mistakes. But i'm not a perfect person so if I do fail I'll try my hardest to be where i always wanted.

    5. To me "leader" or "leadership" means to always lead yourself to the correct path throughout life.If you want to be a good leader you have to never give up because then later you will succeed.You also want the leader who doesn't think they can't do it, you have to be determined and say you can do it. Last of all for there to be a good leader they always have to push you to strive for the better.

    6. In my opinion I think the most important quality of leader is is to always push them selves for the better. I think that this is a good quality because by pushing yourself you will be leading yourself towards the correct path. You are going to be successful at the end of every part of hard work you did. Therefore pushing yourself is the best most important quality a leader can have.

  7. 1. WATCH VIDEO/NOTES

    2. The video and quote are similar because they both say that you are capable of fighting for what you want. They are both different because the quote is saying that if you are to stuck on what happened in the past, then you are going to miss what happens in the future. Change is not a bad thing, it is something that is supposed to happen in life. The video is saying that you are a warrior and you are supposed fight for what you need to. Even if it is hard you have to push though and you need to fight.

    3. The video was saying that you may think a specific task is hard but you can't give up because you can get through it. You can't just wish your way out of something you have to fight to get to it.Always keep in mind how you are different from the weak and notice how you are stronger than what you think you are. The quote is saying that you can not be afraid of changes happening in your life because that is something that is certain to happen in life. If you are to thinking about stuff you have done in the past you can miss out on a lot. By focusing on that too much, you aren't able to focus on what is happening in the present and about your future. When you are a leader, you are always certain to learn something new.

    4. I consider myself a failure avoid-er because I am not always succeeding in things but I am always trying to make sure that I do not fail. There is a difference between failing things and completing something. I rather complete something than actually fail it by not trying.

    5. Bravery and honesty is a absolutely necessary quality for a leader. You are supposed to be the one to stand up for your people when they aren't able to, you are supposed to be brave. If you are not honest with your team than how will they know to trust you?

    6. The most important quality of a leader is to not be selfish. If you are a leader than you are supposed to be thinking about the whole people you are leading. They are trusting you to be there for them, so if you are just trying to protect yourself, why be a leader? A leader is supposed to be the person that thinks of his people first than itself. If they are only thinking of itself then what would be the reason to be leader if you know aren't really capable of leading people though conflict. Suppose there is something going on and you and your team is in danger of being hurt, they will look up to you to be safe. The leader is only thinking in itself and won't help the people at all, a leader is supposed to be there for its people for guidance.

  8. 1. Notes & Video

    2. The video and quote are similar by how they both talk about change. Change happens to everyone as we grow older and become more wise. They differ because in the video it mostly talks about how we should never give up no matter how difficult the obstacles we come across get.

    3. The message the quote and video give are referring to how we should let change happen but for it to only make us stronger. By us coming across obstacles and facing them we become stronger and better prepared for what is coming next. This why we should not give up the first time around. Everyone should keep trying and move forward.

    4. I consider myself a successful achiever because of how well i have been doing in school. I really do try to keep my grades as high as i can. Although I do push myself to do better than the last time so I can grow into a knowledgeable person. By effort being put into my work now, my future will be very wealthy and successful.

    5. The first words that come to mind when i think of the word " leader " are knowledge, sacrifice, integrity. I think the only reason why those words come to mind is because every leader should have that in themselves as a person. Every leader should value the place as leader because that means having all the qualities a leader should have. Such as responsibility, respect, knowledge, and being a kind heart person.

    6. In my opinion the best quality a leader should have is a great mindset for the future and being equal. By equal I mean not having to discriminate someone for their race or the bad reputations their family has let. I say this because usually a lot of people are being thrown shade for something their family member did. Not everyone is the same type of person just because they have the same blood, a person because the way they are for past experiences and how they were raised. Our families past should not affect us in the present or our future reason being for we are NOT them, everyone is a different individual with different intentions.

  9. 2.) The video and the quote are similar. In the video it discussed that you have to fight if you want to succeed. This is similar to the quote, because the quote says that people who only look at what has happened and what is happening, instead of focusing on the future, are going to miss out on what can potentially happen. They differ because The quote focuses on change and the video focuses on fighting and never giving up.

    3.)The video was about how people need to understand that whatever is happening in your life now is going to pass. You need to look into the future, because victory is on the other side. The quote tells you that you shouldn't worry about the past and the present. What's happened in the past isn't relevant anymore. You shouldn't try to change the unchangeable. Instead, start focusing on the future.

    4.)I would like to consider myself both a success achiever and a failure avoider. in my opinion, people who achieve success would avoid failure.

    5.)The qualities of an effective leader would be that they're able to guide their followers to the right decisions. Another quality would be that they're not willing to give up easily. If they give up, it brings everyone down. They have to be able to make the right choices as well.

    6.) I think the most important quality in a leader is that they're determined. For example, a team leader is someone who guides their team to win. The leader must be determined to win/achieve. If the leader gives up easily, then it will only bring their entire team down. Another important quality in a leader is that they have to be respectful towards the people in their team. They have to be willing to listen to what others have to say, whether it's agreeing with them or going against them.

    2. The video and the quote is similar because they both are saying to make sure you don't give up so easily and keep on working. Fight back and give it all you got even though its so hard to accomplish nothing is impossible. They are different too because the quote is saying there could be a big change in your life if you commit to leadership. The video is saying there could be a big change in your life if you don't give up all the time.

    3. The video and the quote is saying that don't give up, don't quit, you are a warrior. Fight back, don't give up every time it gets harder or difficult. Don't focus at the past, focus on the future. If you fight and don't give up you'll beat whatever is keeping you for quitting. Victory is just in the other side. You got to fight your way out, you are a warrior. There could be a big change in your life if you don't give up all the time.

    4. I consider myself as a success achiever. You are a warrior, beat it and don't give up. Even if it's hard to achieve something it's never impossible.

    5. The first thing that comes to my mind when i hear leader or leadership is that a leader trying very hard not giving up to keep their team together. You would think it's hard, but its not impossible nothing is impossible. Don't give up so easily know that anything is possible.

    6. The most important quality of a leader to me is never giving up no matter what. Don't ever give up so easily you'll never achieve whatever you want to accomplish. Don't give up, don't quit you are a warrior. Fight back, don't give up, every time it gets difficult and hard. There could be a big change in your life if you don't give up all the time. Try not to give up fight it and give it all you got to get it done. Even though its hard to accomplish, nothing is impossible. Don't give up and put effort in your work and you'll keep your team together.

    *your are a worrier it's time to fight
    *this is not the time to tap out
    *if you fight back you can beat it 
    *you can get through this 
    *you can't wish your way out of this
    *If the strong does not have any more they fight 
    *the weak don't fight they run away 

    *stop giving up

     

    2.The video and quote are only similar in one way to me. I find them similar because of the key word leadership, learning, and change. In the video it's telling you to take a bigger step in your life to become better and that's exactly what a leader does. A leader changes for the good and learns more as they grow. They differ more to me because the video is talking more about fighting through a situation to make it through and to not give up and the quote isn't talking about that.


    3. The video is about staying strong and not to give up. Eric is explaining and motivating you to not give up when things get hard. But to fight through it all so you can make it. The quote is about willing to change for the better and becoming a leader and learning everyday. It's an inspirational quote by John F. Kennedy on a few important things that can help you realize and grow. 

    4. I think of myself as a successful achiever because I've fought through the most difficult time in my life and am still here today. I also try my best to accomplish my goals and that to me is myself's success. But I'm not settling for that, I'm still aiming higher.

    5. When I hear the word "leadership" or "leader", the first words that come to mind are bravery, courage, and kindhearted. I think the word "bravery" is absolutely necessary when it comes to leadership because you have to be strong and willing to try new things without hesitation. And to be brave comes with so many admire able qualities that'll make you a leader. A strong leader as a matter of fact.

    6. 
    The most important quality of a leader is kindness. Without kindness your words won't touch anyone. Without kindness your words won't be heard by anyone.

  12. 1.How are the video and quote similar? How do they differ? [3-5 Sentences] There are both the same in a way because they both talk about how victory is and to be better so you won't give up. how they are differ is that the video is a video and the quote is a quote. another way that they are differ is the fact that the video is talking about not giving up. An the quote talks about how being a leader and to control your life. what the quote also talks about is that the law is the change of you.
    2.Summarize the video and quote in your own words? [3-7 Sentences] There are people that give up when life starts getting hard and never goes thru the way there suppose to. What they try to do is to find the short cuts in life and never go thru what is the right way. An also they try to tell you not give up and to not be like the people who just give up. in order for you not be in the path way to not success.
    3.Do you consider yourself a success achiever or a failure avoided? Explain in detail. [2-3 Sentences]I think I am both at time because at times i can be very productive and theirs times when i just say i don't feel like doing anything any more. Theres a chance that i'm a success achiever because i getting stuff done don't like things undone.
    3.Think of the words that first come to mind when you hear the word "leader" or "leadership." Among the words you thought of, which do you believe describe qualities that are absolutely necessary for someone to be an effective leader? [2-3 Sentences] In order for to be a good leader is to know that people can trust you in what choices you make. Don't be selfish and to be loyal to who ever your leading.
    4.In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a leader? Why? [1 Paragraph] a third and perhaps the most important and respected leadership is integrity. trust is the quality that binds all relationships together. why i think that is the answer is because with out trust where is the respect. The other reason why is because with out having a relationships why hang out if there is no getting along with each other.

  13. 2. They are similar because they both talk about how you wont go nowhere in life if you don't work hard.They differ because the video talks about not giving up and fighting while the quote does not. They also differ because the quote talks about how looking into the past will give you no future.

    3. The quote is saying don't always focus on what already happened focus on what good things that may come to you in the future.The video is saying don't give up when times get tough don't tell yourself i quit get back on your feet and try harder. The video is also saying believe in yourself your not weak if you really put your mind to it you could accomplish anything.

    4. I would have to say i'm both because i try to avoid failure and also try to achieve my goals and dreams I avoid failure by trying to stay away from negative people so they wont influence me to give up.I am a success achiever because even though I messed up m y first semester i am doing all i can to improve my grades so i can be successful later on in my life

    5. One word that come to my mind when i hear the words leader or leadership is responsible. Another word that comes to my mind when i hear the words leader or leadership is respectful

    6. In my opinion the best quality in a leader is responsibility because if your not responsible what makes you think you are able to lead other people. If your not responsible how will you help the community you are leading and how will you do your duties.An example of a irresponsible leader is someone who keeps making promises to your community and not keeping them or not remembering them.Nobody wants that type of leader because if had to chooses someone to lead me I wouldn't pick someones like that.The reason why i wouldn't want that type of person to lead is because he/she could make the whole community angry by not keeping their promises.The anger will then form in to riots and the whole town will get destroyed and the leader might end up dead or severely hurt.

  14. 1. Cornell Notes

    -You are a warrior
    -Its time for you not to give in
    -You have never been pushed like this
    -Its time to fight, make a decision
    -If you don't give in, you will beat it
    -fight back instead of giving in every time
    -you have that warrior inside, activate it
    -Fight your way out of it
    -the difference between the weak and strong: weak retreat, strong fight
    -fight your way through it because victory is on the other side

    2. The video and quote are different because they are talking about different topics. The video explains that the strong ones are warriors. The warriors are presented with something they never have been presented before and they beat it. The quote tells us that change is part of life, and we should never look back. We shouldn't pay so much attention to the present or past because there is so much more to look forward to in the future. the quote also says learning and leadership are "indispensable", which means its absolutely necessary.


    3.The message in the video focused on the strong people or the weak people. It tells the difference in what they strive for. They are very different from each other, especially their habits. The weak always end up giving up or retreating from a bad situation. Instead, the strong are called warriors because of their determination. Warriors fight their way through until they end up beating it. Warriors understand that victory is always on the other side of pain. On the contrary, the quote tells us that in life, things are going to change. We can't focus on what already happened or things that we are worried about right now. we have to focus on a bigger picture and to think outside of the box. We have to look at our future.

    4. I would consider myself a success achiever. I was always considered smarter in elementary in my class, but that's because I was always interested. I was always very excited and I loved learning. Because my parents are strict, I always had to get good grades. In 6th grade I was considered a teacher pet because of my over-achieving. However, as I get older, it was go away or still be a big part of me.

    5. When I think of leader or leadership, I think of determination and confident. When you are a leader, you are most likely to be maybe extroverted and confident in what you say. When you are determined, you know what you want and will do anything to get it.

    6. I think the most important quality in a leader is rejecting the status quo. You strive to be different in a good way. You don't want to follow trends or do what everyone is doing. You are the one who sets the trend. You are the one who takes charge in a situation. Leadership is also the person who is there for everyone, if you have a problem or in need of company.
