Day 2

• The virtue i showed today was resolution, "Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve." In this quote what Franklin means is that you should decide to do the right thing, then whatever the decision you made; you must make a plan so that you can follow your decision and not procrastinate and do something else instead of following your choice. I showed this virtue today because I chose to do the right thing, which was put everything in the past and worry about the future which is, progressing in life and accomplishing some of my major goals which will take time and it is applying for scholarships. My goal that I came up with so that I can achieve my purpose is to look at the scholarships and see their deadlines, then I must use my time wisely and if I have free time I need to start working on writing the essays or filing out the applications. I chose to do this because I know senior year students rarely have time to actually apply for scholarships and have time to apply to college; I am doing this so that I won't be rushing when that time comes in approximately one year and eight months. As a junior i have experience situations which hurt you and damage you, but in order to keep your head up you must forget those obstacle and look forward to the future positively. No matter how hard some situations get, i need to always finish my assignments in time because i know that my work will eventually pay off.

•     Today i ignored the virtue of tranquility, "Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable." In this quote what Franklin means is that no matter the type of situation you might be in or others might be in you must always be calm and relaxed so that you can think clearly. I did not possess this virtue because there were different types of situations where i could not ignore them. These specific students were saying things that were hurting others and they were putting my name in it. I could not avoid hearing about it and I was really disappointed and angry because it is not right when others talk about you and they do not realize their words have an impact on how someone views that certain person.
