"your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow "
I think that this quote means that the future is shaped by how you act now not in the future. For example if you're good spirited now you will be later on in life, if your not that you won't in the future.

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what
you know to be evil “
I think this means if you know it’s wrong then simply don’t
do it. this means if someone asks you to lie for them, and you know its not good then don't do it. Also if you do something wrong make up for it and tell someone that you did it. Chances are if you man up about it they'll give you a break or a second chance.

When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you further understand the material.

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and
critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a
particular text, do some research and see what recourses have to say about it. In
addition to increasing your comprehension you’ll be showing initiative,
something teachers always like to see.
Make sure you have access to a dictionary. You can often
figure out a meaning for a word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t.
Rather than skipping over the words you don’t know look them up and gain

Reading and writing go hand and hand. The better you
understand a text, the more likely you are to communicate your thoughts about
writing.
1. ANNOTATE
Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text,
take notes about the important themes or morals in the book.
2. NOTE THE AUTHORS
WRITING STYLE
Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods
to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading
look for signs of how the author writes.

Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your
best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you
really care about what you’re doing. Here are 5 ways to stay focused.
1. The key to success
is to stay focused on your course work. Make a list so you get an idea of the
workload before you tackle any of it. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest
tasks first, those take more time and effort and the ones you work most on. To assign
your priorities list your chores in
order of most importance, then devote more time to those chores. For example
studying for a mid-term is more important than writing a essay for English. As you
complete each task, think of it as another great leap towards college.
2. Changing your
approach. If you have a similar project like you’ve done in the past do same
thing.

Build study habits that are essential in college

Get a sense of progress
Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently
and effectively.
Create a good study area with everything you need. If you don’t
have a quite place at home, try your home or local library.
Make a list of everything you need to know, and note all
deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face
them at the end.
Even if you don’t have homework every night, use your time to
review notes. Also you’ll become a pro at using your time productively.

Alcatraz
Alcatraz
Island is located in the San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore from
San Francisco, California, United States. Often referred to as "The
Rock," the small island was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a
military fortification, a military prison (1868), and a federal prison from
1933 until 1963. Beginning in November 1969, the island was occupied for more
than 19 months by a group of Aboriginal Peoples from San Francisco who were
part of a wave of Native activism across the nation with public protests
through the 1970s. In 1972 Alcatraz became a national recreation area and
received designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
Today,
the island's facilities are managed by the National Park Service as part of the
Golden Gate National Recreation Area; it is open to tours. Visitors can reach
the island by ferry ride from Pier 33, near Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco.
Hornblower Cruises and Events, operating under the name Alcatraz Cruises, is
the official ferry provider to and from the island. Hornblower launched the
nation's first hybrid propulsion ferry in 2008, the Hornblower Hybrid, which
now serves the island, docking at the Alcatraz Wharf.

He should of just maned up and admitted it. He had very good potential in his sport, but he had to throw it away by using performance enhancers. It looked as if he was so good at doing what he did.

You may want to take a class that high school doesn’t offer. Under
some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class—through distance
learning.
Distance education means taking a class where you don’t have
to be physically present where it is being taught.
Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning
credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves.
For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home or in the
