    The quote I have chosen is, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm”. This is one of Winston Churchill's most well known quotes. This quote was said during his reign as the Prime Minister of Great Britain. It is unknown as to where this quote came from but I found it to be very captivating. I feel like Churchill is trying to get the point across that in life it is normal to not be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes and each failure shapes you as a person. Churchill is saying that if you put your mistakes in the past without changing who you are, it makes you stronger and more successful than someone who fails to do so. Being afraid of failure gets you nowhere in life so Churchill is stating that everyone should strive with great enthusiasm in order to be their best self.…

    I know we all keep up with the Kardashians, but are we keeping up with Bruce Jenner and his gender transition? Slowly and slowly Bruce Jenner is becoming more womanly. We all see it and have questions of our own whether it’s true or not. But because he is a celebrity and it might not be acceptable to some people in society, it is kind of put on the back burner. This example with Bruce Jenner only leads to bigger problems between intersex children who are actually both male and female but are forced to pick which one at birth they want to be basically formed into. Although Bruce Jenner was born male he later decides to transition to female, but the man word I will stress is “decides”. Intersex children should not be “assigned” a certain gender but rather allowed to go undecided until they decide which path they want to go in for themselves. The same thing applies to transgender individuals, who shouldn’t be ridiculed for deciding to go in a different path.…

    This quote can be applied to many different circumstances in your life. This is why I believe it stands out so much to me. When I first read this quote I thought about football, but then I started thinking about it in a more broad perspective. If you apply it to your job, family, sports, etcetera, it all comes back to what the quote clearly states, no matter what the situation you always have a chance to succeed. Even when you think you've hit rock bottom, if you work to better yourself and your circumstances then you have succeeded. I also see it as when others think you've failed, you can truly judge yourself on how you respond. I always judged success on winning or…
