I believe it would be an incredible experience to go to a place where my family heritage lies and experience all the wonders that there are to experience there.

Like my several Irish brethren in the class, Ireland was always somewhere I wanted to go. Both of my grandparents (that I was able to meet) came from Ireland and my grandmother can remember visting family that still lived on the Emerald Isle at the time. I was fortunate enough to go to Ireland in fifth grade and it was really moving to see the decrepit housing that some people still call home. It was a stark reminder of the harsh conditions that forced several thousand Irishmen (including my ancestors) to leave their home in search of a better life. Seeing such poverty first hand made me reflect on how fortunate I really am. This trip was not all doom and gloom, as I also aqcuired the gift of gab and spotted approximately 4.5 leprechauns.
\nAnother place of pilgrimage I visit almost annually is to Ohio Stadium to watch THE Ohio State Buckeyes in action. Being in the 'Shoe on a Saturday in the Fall is a very special experience (especially if you're there on the same day Michigan loses to Appalachian State). Being in a raucous crowd of 100,000+ makes you feel like a part of something greater than yourself every time.
\nA final place of pilgrimage would be to West Dakota State University, but as it does not yet exist, I won't go into detail on that.","dateCreated":"1334197260","smartDate":"Apr 11, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"Gil_Rutledge","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Gil_Rutledge","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"52795390","body":"I would like to go to the Vatican City, as it is not only the center of Roman Catholicism, but a place filled with great art from throughout the ages.

Without a doubt, there is absolutely no other experience that would be more transcending than embarking on a pilgrimage to Graceland, Tennessee.\u00a0Ever since I was exposed to the music of Elvis when as a child, the man has influenced my life as if I were a puppet on a string. Don't \u00a0ask me why, but somehow listening to his music always makes me feel as if I'm the king of the whole wide world. \u00a0To put it simply, Elvis has made me all that I am.\u00a0
\n
\nSuch\u00a0an experience has been always on my mind and I long for the day to put on my "blue swede shoes" and follow that special dream when a nice long legged girl (with whom I'm almost in love) and I could drive down the long, lonely highway to where I've always regarded as my personal promised land. Just thinking about this voyage gets me, for lack of a better term, "all shook up," and to physically be there, I imagine, would feel like being on the very edge of reality or a humbling religious experience, sort\u00a0of like going to church, meeting God and begin crying in the chapel. Oh, how it hurts me to think of this exodus coming to an end!
\n
\nAnd when the day comes 50, 60, or 70 years from now, when my grandchildren ask me how they too can achieve their dreams, what I'd say is my personal mantra for accomplishing anything, "only believe and let yourself go."

Even when you don't believe in what someone is saying always just stay being respectful.
\n2) Work hard- I have learned since a young age that I always need to give 100%. Whether it was sports or school I always had to give it my all to keep up.
\n3) Always Listen to my Parents- This is a tough one because my parents a lot of the time want me to do things differently then what I want to do. Even though this is true my parents always have my best interests in mind so I alway try to listen to them.
\n4) Be Generous - Giving is honestly one of the best feelings in the world. Even if it isn't that big something small can make the biggest change in someone's life.
\n5) Trustworthy- I have learned that without being trustworthy you won't keep any friends or have anyone close to to you. Being trustworthy is a great quality to have to create deep relationship.","dateCreated":"1331350301","smartDate":"Mar 9, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"amreaker4","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/amreaker4","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"51540014","body":"1)Honesty is the best policy
\n No matter what trouble you may be in, or the person you're with, I feel it's best to be honest with everyone around you. Friends and family will learn to trust your sense of judgement. If there is anything wrong with something you see, speak up! Someone else may not want to. You could changing an entire person's perspective for the better.
\n
\n2)Respect others-remember you're not perfect!
\n The golden rule is one to live by: Treat others how you wish to be treated. Respecting others is one of the easiest, most basic fundamentals. No one is perfect, so you are in no shape to be judging others because of their difference of opinion. Each person deserves respect and giving it will prompt receiving it as well.
\n
\n3)Give help to any who need it
\n I've already said that no one is perfect, meaning everyone needs help at some point in time. Just like King Arthur's code of conduct, Might really should be for Right. If you are able to do something when no one else can, what have you got to lose aiding them.
\n
\n4)Live like there may be no tomorrow
\n While this may not be one of King Arthur's rules of chivalry, it's something everyone can abide by. No one knows when it could be their last day, and everyone should have their own sort of bucket list. There may be something very important that you cannot achieve if you do not try.
\n
\n5)Push yourself to the limit
\n Nothing can be achieved if you are not challenged. Breezing through life may seem easy, but there is absolutely no self gratification. A person has no worth if he or she does not push themselves to the limit. While it must be a realistic goal in some senses, the sky really is the limit.","dateCreated":"1331352981","smartDate":"Mar 9, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"Jackiemachesky","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Jackiemachesky","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"51540174","body":"1. Accept that everyone is coming from a different place and has different goals for themselves than I do. Closed-mindedness has always been a pet peeve of mine. To me, it is important to not only accept others without judgement, but try to welcome then with open arms. It's not an easy thing for people to do, but the world would be a better place of everyone had an open mind.
\n2. Kindness\/Empathy-this hits home for me because I know that when I'm having a bad day, a kind gesture means the world to me. Simply smiling, holding the door, or providing a shoulder to cry on could mean more for a stranger or a friend than you will ever know.
\n3. Standing up for what's right-this is particularly difficult in high school, where what's right is rarely considered acceptable. It's taken some time, and it's definitely something I'm always working on. But if you aren't willing to stand up for your beliefs, what's the point of having strong beliefs at all?
\n4. Think before you speak- it seems to me that so many conflicts could be resolved in so many areas if people simply thought before speaking or acting. You may not think your seemingly harmless outbursts do any harm; little do you know they create bad first impressions and conflict that is so easy to avoid. Thinking things through and trying to determine every possible outcome is always a great idea in order to avoid pointless conflict and bad feelings.
\n5. Don't take yourself too seriously- I say and do the wrong thing what seems like the majority of the time. In an age where perfection seems to be the only thing that matters, it is of the utmost importance to realize that you are, in fact, awesome, and that's better than perfect. As clich\u00e9 as it sounds, our imperfections are truly what define us. To be able to laugh at your mistakes and blunders is to be able to accept your imperfections and even embrace them, making you all the more confident and happy.","dateCreated":"1331353557","smartDate":"Mar 9, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"Juliaburroughs","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Juliaburroughs","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"51540232","body":"1.

\n1. The Bible: As a Christian, the most important thing to me is obeying and believing in God's Word. I have been raised to have complete faith in God's word, as well as abiding by his rules and commandments. Out of all of my ideals, this is the most important to me.
\n2. My family: As the youngest in my family, I have been raised to act maturely and always remember my place; furthermore, my parents have instilled in me a strict moral code and have always pushed my to keep to those values, no matter what the consequences.
\n3. My friends: Within the past year, I have begun to understand what a true friend really is, and I have molded my lifestyle to match my beliefs in my friends. I believe very firmly that my friends should be drug-free, mature, and honest above all other things.
\n4. Image reflected on society: Another ideal that has helped me mold is my image that is to be projected upon society. My parents have always encouraged me to present myself in the best manner possible to set not only a good example, but to set my standards higher.
\n5. Maturation: This past year has been by the far the year where I have matured the most; I have had to figure out what I believe in, what values I identify with, and who I want to be associated with; maturity, in my opinion, is under-valued, and those who choose to act maturely impress me more than those who do not.","dateCreated":"1331355411","smartDate":"Mar 9, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"jenniferlacount","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/jenniferlacount","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"51540782","body":"1. Always do what is right, no matter what everyone else does. It seems like people are more likely to follow what everyone else does and ignore a person in need or something that needs to be resolved. People choose to ignore problems because of laziness or the risk of embarrassment. It is important to stand your ground and do the right thing than turn away from the problem and regret it.
\n2. Respect other people's opinions. When someone has a different opinion than you, it is important not to diminish that person's perspective and not argue over who is right or wrong. Showing tolerance for an opposing point of view shows maturity.
\n3. Stand up for what you believe in. Nothing is more frustrating than having someone tell you that you are wrong, but if you cannot defend yourself or someone you're fighting for, you cannot make a difference.
\n4. Don't judge anyone before you know them. It bothers me more than anything when people stereotype or assume things about a person before they know a thing about them. Unless you know where that person comes from, don't talk about them in a negative way.
\n5. Always tell the truth. Lying shows nothing but cowardice and a lack of self confidence.

\nI have always been a firm believer in standing up for what is right. This can mean many different things but i feel that once you take a stance on an issue, you should hold true to your beliefs.
\n
\n3. Work hard
\nMy parents have always told me that they are content with whatever accomplishments I do or do not achieve, as long as I have tried my best. I feel that I would be letting them down if I did not push myself to my absolute limit.
\n
\n4. Stay true to your friends and family
\nThis ideal essentially means that even through the tough times, you support the people you love. I know that when I am upset I can always turn to my family or friends for guidance. If they weren't there, I don't know what I would do. My dependence on my loved ones shows me that I too play a large role in lives of my friends and family.

\n2.) Living in the Moment: I think that dwelling too much on the past or on the future takes away from the wonderful entity of the present and can lead to entirely too much regret or stress. By living for the present, you can actually enjoy life instead of always worrying about what happened in the past or about what might come up later.
\n3.) Grace Under Pressure: Everyone has to go through challenges in life, but individuals have to find their own strength to overcome these challenges and surpass them. Obstacles will always come up, but it's important to face them with a cool mind instead of causing yourself and those around you a lot of strife and suffering.
\n4.) Kindness to Others: You can never really know what a person might be going through, but there is no reason to openly be mean to someone you might not like. Having an opinion is fine, but some thoughts are best left unspoken.
\n5.) Generosity: Most of us don't realize that we have so much in our community, but there are others on this world who have so little. Regardless of how much we think we need, it is important to keep things in perspective and give to those who might not be as fortunate as you.","dateCreated":"1331523262","smartDate":"Mar 11, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"Doris34","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Doris34","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":13}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
