Activities for week fourteen 12/7 - 12/11 - 2009

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm." Ronnie Lott said of football's Joe Montana, "You can't measure the size of his heart with a tape measure or a stopwatch." This prove that it takes more than talent or brains to create success. It takes passion. This is what I have been trying to get across to you. With passion you can do well in this and every class. Please check Aeries; if there is a problem see me.
