Brave Knight

"It was Freak who told me about King Arthur. How he got this round table, and how he got the bravest knights, and the whole world to sit at that table. You will be brothers, said King Arthur. And you will fight for all those who ask for help. You will be gentle to the weak, but terrible to the wicked. It was Freak who told me about King Arthur. It was Freak who told me everything." - Max

"By the time we get here, which I guess should be the end, you're going to know the story of Freak the Mighty, who slayed dragons, saved maidens, and walked high above the world." - Max

"A knight proves his worthiness by his deeds." - Kevin

"Every word is part of a picture. Every sentence is a picture. All you do, is let your imagination connect them together. If you have an imagination that is."  - Kevin

"Nothin's a drag, kid. Think about it." - Loretta

A little something about King Arthur.

Make Change

Last Friday, we had the opportunity to watch "Wil the Thrill" do some amazing basketball stunts.  He then gave a powerful message, and I don't want you to have missed it.  He gave 4 points to be successful in life: 

• Perseverence - having the will to complete a task, even when you have no desire to do it 
• Consistency - Practicing your skill over and over.  It could be studying for test or doing what you say you will do.
• Live by your Convictions, not your Feelings - Our feelings change from moment to moment.  Don't make decisions based on how you feel.  Make them based on what you believe.
• Serve Others - Each of us have been given gifts.  Find yours, and figure out a way to use your talents to serve others.  Go out of your way to be nice and helpful.

Of the four ideas that Wil presented, choose one to specifically work on this week.  In a post, explain what you will be doing and post again with the results of your experience.  First posts are due by Wednesday, May 11.  Follow-up posts are due by Friday, May 13.
