             While yes, I feel it is very tempting to get things off the internet or copy off another student to help make cyber schools workload shorter and easier, I try and refrain from it as much as I can because I know it is wrong. I already know a lot of kids that have gotten in trouble for this and written up so now I realize it is wrong and I have not done it since the incident I had in this class earlier on. While it is a hard time for everyone now I feel as if taking short cuts to try and make it easier is the wrong route to pursue. I feel like everyone should take advantage of situations like these to and make the most of it while looking at all of the benefits. One of the more positive things I have been looking at was how much time I get to spend with my family now. Even though my Mom is a nurse I still have been getting to see her a lot more, and get to see my dad a lot more because he is not going out for the inspections on houses because he can't. While it is hard to not let the negatives affect me like not being able to see my friends or the rest of my family I know it is for the best right now to try to get this virus away so everyone can return back to their normal lives.

            I also feel like we should take time in times like these and reflect on ourselves and see how faithful we have been to God. it is also great to pray to him in times like these because I feel like he can help you through this and everyone else. But we need to see ourselves from another perspective and think if what we have been doing is truly good. Like copying off of other kids work, that is very lazy and you are giving in in a time where you have to be the most strong. But at the same time it is hard to stay strong because unlike before we can't talk to teachers directly if we don't understand something. And it is so much harder to find some of your work and do it without being reminded by your teachers everyday on what you have to do. But one thing I do like is the freedom we have on when we want to do our school work, that is a major plus and is making this journey a lot easier.

Phillip II- King Philip II was the king of Spain, he was also known as Philip the Prudent. He ruled one of the World's largest empires to ever exist. His was king as Spain's began the Golden Age, a period of great cultural growth in a different variety of things. He also became the King of England through his marriage to Mary Tudor for four years. Some of the accomplishments he made through out his life time are he attempted to expand the power of Spain, centralize the government and protect the Catholic Church Alexander the Great- Alexander did many great things through out his life, some of the good things he did was brought a whole new way of fighting to the Greeks, and he brought to the Persians some new aspects of life that came from the Greeks. He even signaled the beginning of a new era in history known as the Hellenistic Age.  Which was crazy how one person could bring a whole new era in history. In his 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a single battle wh

I don't really know many things about this topic but just based off reading what mr. schick had to say along with doing some of the research I found out I came to find out how pure their relationship really was. First I saw that he got this horse off a wager with his Dad. The cost of the horse was 13 talents. Which is equal to almost 182,000 U.S dollars now which is crazy. The horse passed away in 326 B.C. and most people agreed the horse died from old age not from battle wounds but no one really knows this for sure. Also from what I read it seemed like this horse was his best friend, sometimes in life you have a animal that you feel like is better then most humans in the world and this is how he felt. This horse went into battle with him, they rode around for fun, when your animal is around you this much and you are always having fun with it, it is hard not to get attached to it like this so I think this is the reason they were so close because they were always doing everything to
