Well the past few days I have been in Washington DC, and today I had a great experience I would like to share. We went on a tour of the Capitol, and we had the privledge of not only meeting our House representitive, but also getting to sit in on a meeting of the House. It was here that something cool happened; we witnessed the appointing of a Representative. It truely was a memory I will remember for the rest of my life.

Dissecting Quotes #19

     This is the nineteenth edition of the series "Dissecting Quotes", where I choose a quote and briefly describe what I think the quote means and how to apply it to our everyday lives. I hope the insight a high schooler can provide can help brighten a day or get you thinking. 

"Winners never quit, and quitters never win" 

- Ted Turner 

      Sometimes, life seems like it favors those who are the "winners" and the "losers" are left out of the loop. When we think of "winners" we think of people like Mark Zukerberg, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Brad Pitt and others. But they aren't necessarily the winners in life, they are just famous. Some other people that are winners are those who help others, those who try to make other lives better. So, some of you may be asking, how do we become these so-called "winners?" The answer is in the quote above; the key is not to quit or give up, but to push through and stay strong. So I hope you all can learn from Turner, and can stay strong through tough times or a hard experience.
