Ms.Grant English 9 Honors / Pd.5/6 February 2, 2012 Four Way Test ‍‍‍‍‍‍Our lives are filled ‍‍‍with stories ‍‍‍on the news about crimes and accidents, but also with positives like people bettering the community for the good of the public or a town coming together to form an alliance against crime. People need to realize that if every person came together and did a little part, it would make a big difference. In all aspects of life, the four way test is a simple, yet strong way to decide and make your life better-rounded. ‍‍‍From racing to the classroom ‍‍‍it provides a strong basis for future endeavors, and can be incorporated into my daily life. I believe the four way test can provide a way to make your life better for racers like me, to your common student in the classroom. In racing, it applies to much more than just your average race. Many times if you have a bad gut feeling about it, the bad feeling is going to happen. So if it is the truth don't ignore it, and realize that life is not always fair. In racing, crashes are going to happen and you are going to be mad. All it takes is one mean word or action to upset‍‍ you ‍‍ parents and not keep your good relationship going. In life overall do not ruin those great relationships with your parents because life is too precious and goes way too fast. Now, when you are racing it gets intense with people crashing,‍ bumping you, or cutting you off ‍. In the car there are things that you should thing about but the one that applies to both the four way test and a racers guide is if this move or action will be beneficial for me and my car. Different people do different special activities like play basketball, ride horses, or collect pins. In my life I race and ‍‍I just showed that the four way test can be applied anywhere. ‍‍ In sports from the time you step on to the court to the time you start playing, the test comes in to play.‍‍ Is the basketball even real ‍‍and if it is, am I good enough to handle the pressure and the ball so that it will be beneficial to all of my team. After you warm up and are in the locker room, do you have relationships with your fellow peers and teammate that allow you to get the ball, and pass it to them too. In everything there will be kids who are cocky and always take the ball, but ‍if you ‍ can control your anger and be friends then you can score points and win basketball games. Then you can see if you are playing the game fair. Ask yourself questions like "are you passing the ball to everyone" or "am I shooting too many shots?" ‍‍‍In the end it will not only benefit you, but also the rest of your team. ‍‍‍ Finally to where every kid must go and learn about your favorite presidents, math concepts, and how to write papers. In school or in the classroom I have made many good friends and have had inspiration for many of my projects from their funny, hilarious, or life changing actions. School can change your life and you need to know how to make the right choices and decisions. It is the truth that people go through tough times and learn and prosper from them. Is it fair that these happen in the classroom or at all, maybe it’s not fair, but in the end if it helps the person it the end I believe in it. The four way test is what it is and helps people through times of struggle, pain, and hard times and tries to flip it into great times where you can grow mentally and physically. Finally in the end the four way test is a great way to realize your mistakes and learn from them and prosper from the great things you can do.‍ My paper shows how from special activities to the classroom how a person can use the four way test to better their life's and make their life unimaginably fun and interesting. ‍
