My Response to...The Compliment Guys!

I think that the video and article about 'The Compliment Guys' are amazing. I think that what they do has a great purpose and makes almost everyones day. I think its ammazing how they spend a few hours a week just to give compliments and make others feel great about themselves. I can understand how some of the people at first thought the comments were insincere because if someone I did not know came up to me and complimented my clothes or something I would think that it was weird and kind of awkward.



I also think that students in our school should compliment each other more. I myself do not really give as many compliments as I think I should. The last compliment I gave was to one of my friends, I told them that they had a really cool necklace and the last compliment I recieved, that I can remember, was yesterday when my peer congragulated me on my Math test. Tommorow at school my goal will be to give at least few more compliments than usual and so how it makes others feel good.

The Best Name In The World...Grant!

When I was younger I used to dislike my name. I thought that it was dull and also made me seem strange and different. I thought it was like an old black and white portrait, Uninteresting. I hated how no one else knew a Grant and that, back then, not many kids were sure that they could pronounce it properly. Grant, which is an English male name, means great. Of course I think this suits me because, well, I am great! At first my Parents were about to name me Connor but they chose Grant instead. My parents told me that they liked it better. They also thought Grant was good because it was too popular but also not that strange. Now, I quite like my name because, for the very reason that I once hated, it is unpopular. Now I love how no one has the same name has me. I enjoy how when everyone hears my name they do not confuse It with another one. Personally, I think Grant is the best name on Earth and I’m glad that it’s mine to keep.

The picture I that I used is a black and white piece of art. I thought that this was a very interesting photo and it looks really cool. I selected this picture because in my writing I said that I used to think my name was dull like a black and white portrait.

My Title

I chose my title "Lessons Come From Our Journeys Not Our Destination" because I thought this was a good title. I think this quote means that our journeys can be more important than our destinations.

I chose this picture because it is a long road resembling a journey and there is a tiny hut showing the destination.
