"Obedience is central to becoming, being, 
and remaining happy."
- David A. Bednar
This quote is trying to tell us the obedience is the main reason for us to always be happy. Always follow obedience and you will remain happy for the rest of your life. Obedience is choosing the right. Obedience will never let you down no matter what. Choosing Obedience doesn't only make you happy but also the people around you because you are in the right path to success. 
I have achieve many goals in my Life Planning 100+ goals. There some goals I still need to achieve through my life, but one day they will be marked as victories. I have accomplished the easy goals. I need to work on making all my 100+ goals victories throughout my lifetime. I have many goals to achieve, because not many are accomplished yet. Many people are part of my goals I have to achieve. I commit to always read my goal throughout my whole lifetime like I always have now. I always read my goals in class for about some minutes and also read them at home for some minutes too. 
1. What did you like best about this class?
 One thing I like best about this class is you do research about many different types of job you could work in when your older. Also, we would get free time for about just five minutes.
2. What did you dislike about this class?
I dislike about this class is that we didn't do any fun activities once in a while. Also, that we would do the same routine everyday we wouldn't try something new.
3. What can you recommend to improve the class?
Something I could do to improve the class is to not miss one single day, because I missed a couple of days and my grade went down.
4. What will you always remember about this class?
Something I would remember about this class is to always choose the right and always do the best I could throughout my whole life.

Harmful Effects and Consequences of Drug Abuse
Drugs affect you in every sort of way. Drug can affect you all your life, your present, and your future. Drug can also affect you in your job and sometimes it causes you to lose your job. Drug don't only affect you but your family and everyone around you as well. When you use drug you become aggressive with your family members and the ones who love you too. When you do drugs you are in your own little world, you are no longer you. Once you try drugs and you like them you become an addict. You start acting different and they can cause you to let your family members and friends down. You become a rebel, and steel money from your parents like if it's right when it's actually not. Once you do drugs it can also cause you to peer pressure your friends to do it as well. Drugs can actually get you to go to prison for many years. You can kill yourself for doing drugs, and there is no one to blame but yourself. If you really want to quit doing drugs you would go to look for help, and you will try your best to get away from them. Help is just around the corner.

When You Tell One Lie
-Paul Hatch
When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover eachother
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

Most optometrists are self-employed, however many work for hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or universities.

Salary: 78,000
