"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended                                           up not being right."

What i think this quote is trying to say is that if you are doing something and you feel its not right it's more likely that its not right. If you think before you something wrong and choose the right instead it will benefit you more than choosing the wrong. An example for this quote is if you see someone drop money and you pick it up and don't return it you will feed bad because it's not the right thing to do.

                               "When I do good, I feel good.

                                 When i do bad, I feel bad."

                                       -Abraham Lincoln 

This a great quote because it means that if you do something good you will get the satisfaction of doing something good. If you do something that isn't good you will get a horrible feeling because you do something good.An example of doing good is going after school with your teacher and help them sweep the floor or clean the tables. An example doing something bad is throwing trash on the floor and then blaming it on someone else.

  I have three messages.
 (1) We should never, ever give up.                                                      (2) You never are too old to chase your dreams.                                (3) It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.
