     In the comment section below, I would like you to read and think about the quote written below on Dr. King Jr.'s poster (navy blue background).  In your comment:  First, write your own opinion as to what you believe or think this quote means?  Secondly,  I would like you to tell me and your classmates how you have made a DIFFERENCE  or  How do you plan to make a difference in the nearest future?

    I think it means that not everyone can be famous, but anyone can have greatness by having service. I have made a difference while playing outside with my friends when we were having unfair teams so I said "All the older kids versus the younger kids isn't fair," so we made the teams fair and everyone had a good time.

    i think the quote means to treat others the way you want to be treated because Dr.king want people to be treated equally

    i made a difference by helping others when they need help in class work or making them feel better when they are hurt

      Khayla, thanks for your opinion on the 2nd poster. The question actually asks what do you think of the quote stated on the first (navy blue background poster) "Everyone has the power for greatness..." Your opinion is based on the 2nd poster.

    Service can mean joining the military and protecting our country and families. I think that's greatness. I'm going to school so one day I can join the Navy.

    Aloha Students! Thank you to those of you who completed your first BLOG task. Some of you did not read carefully and gave your opinion on the wrong quote. The question said to state your opinion on the FIRST poster with the navy blue background. I also showed it to you in class and explained it to all of you. I hope you all will continue to be humble and kind to others. I hope you will live out the works and quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We can all learn a LOT from him. Continue to be of good service to your family, friends, teachers, school, community, state, and country. Making a DIFFERENCE begins in YOU! It begins in ALL of us! Much Aloha...

    I think Dr. Martin was trying to say that to be well known is one thing but being well known because of a person doing good not a bad deed .I can make a difference by when my mom is getting frustrated because of me try not to give her a harder time but that is something I need to work on.

    I think power and greatness is to take care of the world and the important is to pick up trash from the ground.
    I can make a difference by keeping my environment clean.
