  2. My quote is ´Believe in yourself even if they don´t.´-Derrick Rose. I picked this quote for two reasons, the first reason is because over the 10 years he has played, most people didn't believe in him but he proved them wrong and during the 10 years, he has gotten injured so many times and he never gave up and all. It relates to me because in grade 6 in a different school so bad bad but every day I would read it so I would ignore the bullying and encouraged myself. He is also a really good player, he is just came out injure and dropped 50 POINTS!!

  3. "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard." Kevin Durant. The reason i picked this quote is because i play basketball and the nba seasons have started. Also the golden state warriors are one of my favorite basketball teams. I also picked this quote because i can relate to this quote because allot of people have talent but i've seen people who work hard beat talent like right now, Raptors are in the top of the league. They don't have the best players they are working hard.

  4. ¨Be yourself; everyone else is already taken¨-Oscar Wilde
    I picked this quote because there are so many people who try to shift their appearance or personality to fit others, or at least what most people want.People should not push themselves to meet the expectations, people should not put on a facade.This quote represents that being yourself is being prerogative, and getting obliged is spoiling your own personality,and you should not bluff like someone else, since someone is already that person.

  5. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
    -Nelson Mandela

    I chose this quote because it reminded of the first time I went on a roller coaster, I was really scared and I didn’t have the courage to go on. After thinking it over for 5 minutes, I said to myself “ If I never go on I’ll never know what I am scared of”. So then I went on and it turned out I was scared of nothing.

  8. “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”-Harvey Fierstein
    The reason I chose this specific quote was because all around the world people are killing themselves over this exact problem. We just need to remember that we are all special in our own way and there are people in your life that like you just the way you are. Don't let others make you into something you are not.

  10. Life is like a CAMERA
    you foucus on what's important
    CAPTURE the good times
    DEVELOP from the negative and if things don't work out take another shot.-ryancowan quoets.

    This quoet specifically related to myself and our class, because of or relation to thecnology. Especially Instagram we really do what a CAMERA dose, but it suprising that nowdays pictures are everything it's not as much as we're you took the picture what it means or who is in the picture.its more like how many people follow me, how many likes the pic got. So this is reminding us what the meaning behind, real pictures are

  12. “I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

    ~Michael Jordan

    I chose this quote because everyone knows that Michael Jordan is one of the best basketball players to ever play, he’s arguably the greatest of all time. Even though he’s one of the best to ever play the game, Michael Jordan has made mistakes before too. No one is perfect even the people that are the best of the best. I think what Jordan said is very true, you have to fail over and over again in order to succeed. Everyone should relate to what Michael is saying, I know I am.

  13. “Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past in real.”

    This is a quote by Cormac McCarthy, an american novelist. Although I do not know much about him, this quote is really powerful. Scars, whether physical or not can affect us in the long term. This quote has both a literal and metaphorical meaning for me.

  23. "i was born make mistakes,not to fake perfection"
    -Drake

    I chose this quote because this represents that the industry tries to convince you into to thinking that if you make a mistake it's horrible,this is false if you make a mistake it helps you learn not to do it again as you already know the outcome.Not making mistakes does not make you perfect, in fact no one is perfect.Mistakes could help you a lot throughout your journey all though they may seem bad.Faking perfection does not mean you have succeeded even if you may think you succeeded.
