  1. 1) This quote is saying that the more prepared you are, the less of a chance you have to fail.

    2) I think it's saying that if you prepare yourself more than the chance of you failing is low because you prepared yourself a lot.

    3) This matters because if you don't prepare yourself for example for a test then the higher of a chance you have at failing. But if you prepare yourself and study then the higher chance you have at not failing.

He did this when he was a junior i believe in high school. He was playing on the football field to play for the marching band.He did this because he wanted to do this this was one of his goals. How he did this was that he had one made for him that was only 6 pounds because he only weighs about 50 pounds and the others were too heavy for him.

  2. 1:To me i think this means that you can learn from whatever you do in life.It means that everything is teaches you what you can door be in life.

    2:It means take chances and go for your dream.Do what you want to do and never look back.Even if you fail you still get to know what your goals to make you work harder and really achieve at it.

    3:You can apply it to your life by making your dreams come true and reaching for them.Even if you fail you still know what you did wrong and can fix it.If you can get even a little bit closer to your drams that is better then anyone else in life.People have tried but failed.That is because they didn't try there hardest.But you could and possibly achieve.

    6:There was a young man who was going thought a life long problem.He haves a rare disorder that put him down in life.But he didn't let it he picked himself up and went for his goals.He found ways to rays himself to the top.To make his life better and do what he can to achieve.

  3. 1.Basically what the quote is saying is that the more belief you have in yourself the more you have a chance to accomplish your goal.
    2.Based upon my understanding this means, if you prepare yourself more you will succeed. That's what I think the quote means.
    3.This matters because its real life situations. It also matters because everyone doesn't have belief in themselves. Some people need to hear quotes like this so they can have more faith. Also some people fail in something and never try again. That's why this quote matters.
    I can apply this to my life because sometimes I never even try because I'm letting to many obstacles get in the way. Also I can apply it to my life because I have someone in my family who always let fear stop them. They don't have any type of belief in themselves. Its hard for some people to believe in accomplishing their goals. That's how I can apply it to my life.
    4.The clip was about taking your mind of certain things. It was about a boy who had a heart disease. Four years ago he had a show on the channel TLC about him and his family. The show was filmed at his parents house he is seventeen years old. He got a show because he was interviewed one time and they liked his confidence and gave him a show. That's what the clip was about a boy with a heart disease but he had confidence and believed in himself.

  5. 1) The more you give and do, the more chances of succeeding then failing.

    2)The more you try the more chances you'll have. If you work on something even more the more chances you have of being successful then being a failure.

    3) This matters because in order to become successful you need to give more effort into it. The more you try and never quit the more chance you have of achieving your goal. If you don't try and give it effort then there are more chances of failing. The more you learn and do something on what you want to achieve the more chances of you becoming more successful.
    I can apply this to my life by if I were to really want to achieve something I will have to give it all my effort. For example, if I want to get an A in my math class I will have to do all that it's asking. I will have to study, do my homework, and make sure that I understand what was being taught. If I really want to achieve something I have to give it effort and keep on trying because the more I try the less chances I have of being a failure.

  6. 1) Basically what this means is that we have a less chance if failing if we are prepared. One way you can be prepared is by going to school and learning.

    2) What this means is that the more knowledge one has the better. If one day one is offered a job opportunity and you don't have all the requirements needed then you won't get the job. This is what the quote means by being prepared.

    3) This matters and I can apply it to my life to make it better by always remembering that being prepare is always a good thing. Just like it's good to always carry around a first aid kit, it's good to also have extra knowledge. This is what sometimes motivates me in school. I know that if I do all my work then I have a greater chance of getting the job I wan't.

    4) Did that.

  7. 1 The quote means education is the best thing in life.You can do more.Follow your dreams.You are educated you can do anything.
    2 Education is the most important thing in life. Nobody can stop you. Work hard now and later work your life free.
    3.This apply for my life is to be successful.To get to college. I want to go to the University to Florida to play football or baseball.
    The thing is my mom is trying to move another state or city that will be a challenge to me.But I go to fight to get a education. To go to the university of Florida.

  8. 1)What this quote means to me is that if you prepare yourself with education then college will be much easier. And that if get good grades in high school then college will much easier for you.

    2)What this means is that if you get good grades then you will be better prepared for college. And that if you're prepared for college then it would be more easy. Lastly it says that if you decide if you're ready for college or not.

    3)This means that if you really want to go to college then you have to be prepared. This also means that you decide if you really want to go or no. You can apply this to your life by start taking hard classes. The reason I say this is because it will get you better prepared. And this will make you more advanced than others.

  9. 1. In my own words, this quote means you have to reach your bottom line which means it can be your last step of your life. If you reach to your bottom line you can have more education for yourself, more preparation for what you can do, and less chance to failing. yourself.

    2. Base on my understanding it is means to do what you want. You can make your dream come true on your way. Reach your goal and reach your bottom line to achieve it, to get what you want.

    3. This is matter to all of us because if you want to reach your goal then you have to reach to the last point of your way. If you want to be success so try to do your best. If some day you want to stop because it is hard with you then think about why are you started and you started that for what.

    4. Watch the video.

    5. Take Corbel Notes.

    6. The video is about a teenager got a disease. His name is Sam Berns and he is seventeen-years-old. When he was a freshman student, he wanted to play football. Each time they play, it can lost four pounds or more but he just fifty pounds. Then he tried to play instrument. But the instrument weighed more than he carry. So his family and him worked in an engineer to make the instrument less heavier. Finally, his dream was success. He tries to give us a message that be OK with what we ultimately can't do, because there is so much we CAN do.

  10. 1)The quote talks about hoe education is key to life.And it is the most important thing you can get in life.Also it talks about if your prepared and you do what you got to do there's no chance that you will fail.
    2)This quote means to try your best.Also TO DO YOUR best.And NEVER give up in anything.
    3)This matters to me because I need to try my best in everything I do.Also the video can also be applied to my life because this kid has one of the rarest diseases in the world.And he was still able to make his dreams come true.And now this motivates me to try my best.Because if a kid with a disease can make his dream come true.Then I can make my dreams come true.
    Also I can not give up.I sometimes get to lazy to do thing.I don't sometimes do what I got to do.Sometimes I don't even do homework.And sometimes I don't even do what to do so my dreams can come true.So now on I am going to do the best I can.I will not give up.

  11. 1) This quote means that when you give yourself more of the things that will help you the less of a chance you have of failing. Being prepared and having the highest of education you will not fail.
    2) Based on my understanding this means that being unprepared and less educated then you will not have a higher chance of succeeding. Also to give yourself more education and being prepared will lead you to a higher chance of success.
    3) To me this matters because I always want to be prepared and have more education. Now that I can get more education and be more prepared than I usually am and that will help me be better in my life. When I go to university I will be able to use this so I will not procrastinate or fail. When I get a job and I don’t understand certain things I will educate myself more and be prepared. Also to help me get a job and work harder.
    Another reason why this matters is because this can help me focus on a great path for my life to succeed. When I get interested into a career I will educate myself about it on my own time not just at school. I will prepare myself and open my eyes wider to get a better view of the world. When I get into a tough situation I can easily solve it because I will educate myself more and be better prepared. I will be able to show my family and teach them things that they need to know about success.
    6) Sam Berns came on TEDx and described how he didn’t give up and found a way to cope with his disease, Progeria. He wanted to play an instrument and be in the marching, so he decided to worked with and engineer to design a snare drum that he would be able to carry. He learned that he can avoid the problems and things he can’t do by focusing on what he can do. He shows how the people he’s around with don’t bring him down or make a bad influence on him. Sam does his best to live a normal life with his condition and is happy. He accepts his problems and he is confident about being successful in the future.

  14. If you experience and learn more, you’ll become more wiser with choices. You won’t fail with the more you know.


    2. This means to me to always take each opportunity as a lesson to become and do better. To educate myself more. Become more wiser and not settle myself for failure.

    3. This quote matters because it speaks about educating yourself more for the better. It makes you more prepared for what’s ahead. The more you know, The better you’ll be to not fail. The quote also matter because it can motivate others to do superior. To thrive others to do better.

    I can apply this quote to my life to make it better by changing my preparation for things and try to educate myself more. To not set myself up for failure. Be more wiser at choices I make. To be more aware of things before they happen. Give myself a chance to achieve.

    6. The video is about a seventeen year old boy name Sam, who is currently suffering from a disease called progeria. He wanted to play in the school band. The instrument he wanted to play was the snare drum. He couldn’t play due to him weighing less than 50 pounds and the snare drums being heavier. He addressed the problem with his mother and was able to get an engineer to built a custom holder for him, which made it more easier for him to hold the snare drums.

    When Sam was younger, he wanted to be an engineer. Now he is one of the leaders in the music class with his friends. He enjoys lots of activity that includes music because he can’t participate in anything that involves adrenaline. He believes if he keeps moving forward and don’t settle to be sad over his condition, that he won’t be in the position he is now. Sam likes to continue his life to be as happy and enjoyable as possible.

  16. 1. The more knowledge you gain the more you can prepare yourself for any possibilities of failure. As knowledge would give you information on what you can or will be cautious on. Thus allowing you to prepare before hand and plan for more possibilities that may present itself.

    2. Based upon my understanding, the quote has really a singular meaning with no other possibilities. That meaning is that as you gain knowledge you are able to see more possibilities of something that may go wrong. This allows you to plan ahead and move pass or decrease the percentage of the unfortunate event to actually happen. This will in-fact decrease your odds of failure.

    3. This quote matters in quite a variety of ways. In one way it is saying that the more we learn or educate ourselves, the more we can prepare ourselves for the possibilities of failure. This would thus allow us to learn from out mistakes and decrease the odds of failure greatly. For example, if you were to learn about many strategies in a game like chess you would decrease the odds of you losing to your opponent. If you do lose to him you can educate yourself on his play style thus allowing your to counter him the next game.

    Another way this may matter is that it provides us with advice on what to do to decrease the chances of failure. It tells us this through the idea of preparation for a percentage of possibilities. Some of which will result in failure, but with preparation it will be negated or decreased. For example, In a game like chess, you would have to prepare for the worst case scenario so that you do not utterly lose ,but retain the opportunity to win.

    I can apply this to my life through a few ways. One of those ways would be to educate myself on certain topics which will benefit me greatly currently or in the future. An example topic would be mathematics or maybe speech. Another way I could apply this concept to my life would be the preparation of many thing like failing. If I were to prepare for the scenario, it would decrease the chances for it happening. For example, to decrease the chances of failing the test you prepare by studying.

  17. 1.Summarize the quote in your own words? (1-2 sentences)
    In my own words this quote means to me that u start from the bottom and go to the top. At the bottom u see everything that u haved learned. You will be prepared for what you are going to do and there is a less chance that you will fail.
    2.Based upon you understanding, what does this mean? (2-3 sentences)
    Based upon my understanding, this means that we can never push away something that we can’t do. Failing is part of life and if u don’t know how to fail than you are in life and risking our chance. We can’t be waiting around for something to happen, we have to make it happen our self.
    3.Why does this matter and how can you apply this to your life? (2-3 paragraphs)
    This matters because failing is something that can stop us from doing things that we want to do. I can apply this to my life by not giving into fear that is in my mind. I think that fear is a dark part of us that we need to take over by taking a chance to do what you want to do. Looking back is a great way to see how to improve in life. Different kinds of people that can teach you many skills and it can be the first step to reach your dream. Every thing that we have been through is really important because if you did not know that if u get something wrong you learn from your mistakes. We are not perfect, we were made to find our self’s a dream and make it into reality.
    6.Write a 1-2 paragraph summary of the clip (who, what, when, where, why, and how)
    It’s about a kid that has a disease and he is talking to all different kind of people. He is trying to motivate other people to follow their dreams. He is doing this because he had a dream to be in a marching band and play the snare. He couldn’t play because the snare was too heavy for him, but he had to make a way to make a snare that is just right for him. He made his dream into reality. If he can make his dream come true then there is a positive chance that we can make our dreams come true too.

  19. 1. You need to keep striving to achieve. Don't ever think that studying for 20 hours is to much, ok maybe, but the more you study and make sure you know something from the back of your hand thats when you know your good to take a test.

    2. This means that when you give up you will be less successful then when you work harder. The more you work hard the better it is for you to have a better life. People give up to soon and in the end they regret it, but, when you don't give and you strive to achieve you go somewhere in life.

    3. It matters because when you don't work hard to be successful you won't probably do your best in the future. Some people do accomplish there dreams but it is rare. When you don't study for a test what happens? You usually don't do a good job on it. Well same with life, you have a less chance failing than you do if you don't do any work.

    I can apply this to my life by using it to get better grades in tests and not give up so easily. I need to keep going and even if I want to stop I can't let the little voice in my head say "do it later". I need the most education in my life and i cannot afford any excuses that my head tells me. The more preparation I have the better I am to be more successful in life but not only in life but in collage. When you have a good experience with collage and studying the easier it will be.
