    Life is an important part and the people we chose to be our friends. It means that if we want life to go ahead for us you will need friends along the way. The people that we call friends will make impacts to our daily lives that's what we make from it. It matters because we make life as it is it's a part of life. Rivalry's and friends are also part of life that involve us in problems or solution. The people you can trust help you make something in life because they want to support you. I can apply this to my life by helping my friends with support they need so they can give me support. So we can accomplish more with the help of others.

    1).It says we decide what happens to us.
    2).It means you cant blame others.Take responsibility for you're own mistakes.
    3).This matter because you have to be responsible.Don't blame others.If you make a mistake just keep going.

    You can apply this to you're life by taking responsibilities.Don't make excuses.Pick the right people to hang around with.Don't follow others.

    This means that we have to choose our friends wisely because not all of the people are the same.Their are some friends that you could trust and their some that are a waste of time.What you could do is get to know them and if you think you trust them then you could keep them as your friend but one thing i could tell you is never trust no one only trust yourself.

    1. This says that when we make the decisions of friends or life decisions its what we chose for it to be.
    2. This means that the friends we choose is based is based on how we choose them and our life.
    3. This matters because our decisions effect on how we will be in the future and they determine our life's future. This also matters because who we choose to hang around or be with has a big affect on if we will succeed.

    1. This says that your life is split into two with choices one of the decisions you make and the other half is what friends you choose to have.

    2. This means that your life is basically made up of the people you choose to be around. And, the decisions that you make.

    3. This matters because I feel that this quote is so true. Your life is basically made up of the decisions you make. They will matter they might not be important at the time but sooner or later they will matter. And, the other part that is true because the people you hang around reflect on your image as a person. But, they also influence the type of person you are. :)

    Yes I get it because some people let there friends make there decisions for them.But the good friends let you make your own mistakes to learn from them.It is hard to trust your friends because all your life you have been lied to and misguided.When you make a mistake it is hard to learn from them.

    1. This says that you make decisions for your life and the friends you be with can determine how your life is.
    2. This means that your life is based upon many things but part of it is on the people you have in your life. Decisions or limits have to be made when it comes to your friends.
    3. I can apply this to my life because based on the people I be with I have to keep in mind to do what I want to do and not be a follower. I have to make decisions toward my life to make it better. The people you have in your life determines or reflects on who you are . Everyone should be more wiser on who is good to have in their life and who is not.

    - This quote says that you will have a life based upon what friends you choose.
    - This quote means that the company you keep can either be your down fall or your up roar. The company you keep has a huge effect on the choices you choose to make.
    - This quote matters because its true. People tend to act like the company they keep. Whether the company is bad,good, goofy , determined , harsh ; your going to tend to act life them. So the company you choose to keep will PARTLY determine how your life will be and the choices you choose to make.

    1) It says that life is made up of what you make it and what people (friends) make it.
    2) It means that life is what you choose to do and about what friends make you do. Like the decisions you make because of your friends because of influence or peer pressure.
    3) It matters because you make your own decisions but you also do them because of people around you. You see them and you get influenced by them. If its good or bad you tend to do it. I can apply this to my life by doing it but only if what my friends do is good for my life. Otherwise than that I'm not going to do it. I want to live a good life with good friends not a bad one with no friends.

    This is saying life is what we make of it.

    This means life is based on how we live and what friends we choose. If we choose friends that smoke and are drug dealers then most likely thats what people are going to think of you.

    This matters because we are the future. What we choose to do in life is how successful we are going to be in the future. The friends that we make determines how people are going to look at you.

    Part of your life is made up of your own choices but other parts are made up of your friends you did certain deeds because you wanted them to think a certain way about you. It means Many choices are made because of your friend. If you have friends that make you do things you don't like they are not true friends and you should let them go they are not worth it

    1. This quote says that their are decisions you make and some that are influenced by friends.

    2. This quote means that their are some things you do because of friends. And their are other things you do just because you want to.

    3. This quote matters because its true. We do many things because our friends do them or because they told us to. And then their are things we do by ourselves. It all depends on the friends you have. If you have bad friends then that's how you are going to be. So you have to watch out who you hang around with.

    1. This says the people we choose to be in our life will be how our live get base on.

    2. This means your life will depend on many things. Also the people who is in our life will have a major impact on our life.

    3. I can apply this to my niece life because the girls she hang around with they rub off on her and she start acting different. She tends to fight people that just say the littlest things to her. Also she let people get to her head a lot and pump her head up. If she keeps letting it go that way then she not going to get to far.

    Life is partly what we make it. what i think it means if we make the way we want it that's the way its going to be. And partly what it is made by the friends we choose. That means the friends we choose. The things is the things that they do will be the things we will start doing.

    It says that you make part of the decisions of your life and your friends make part of it.

    It means that you have to make sure of the decisions you make.Also the friends you choose to have.

    This matters because you choose the friends you want to have. Your friends make a big difference in the life you choose to have. Your friends can make a positive change to your life but they can also give a negative change in your life. There are friends that will help you but there are friends that will make your life worst.You have the right to choose the life you want to have.

    2) This means that your choices effect your future.
    3) this matters because it is telling us how we make our life and that our choices effect on our future. Also that we are our self in this life.

    It says Life is what you make it.
    Part of what your life is made of is made up of your friends.The friends you/we choose builds up what and how we do things.We don't see life in its full coarse,We don't pay the other side any never-mind.Most people let their friends make decision for them.When having friends have good one, some that will tell you whats Wrong and right, and the best way to make decisions,Basically pick wisely.

    This matters because Your friends determine lots of your outcome.Their influence takes a big toll on you.I can apply this because i don't live my life to the fullest.Sometimes i let my friends make decisions for me.

    1) Life is what we make it and the friends we choose play a big part also.
    2) This quote means that your life is what you choose to make it. You can make it good or bad. But also your friends play a big part, they have a major influence on your life.
    3) This quote matters a lot. This matters because often we blame everything and everybody else for how our life turns out. we need to realize that life is what we make. we determine how successful or how much failure is in it by the choices we make and etc. We need to take responsibility and make our life what we want it to be.
    We also don't realize the influence our friends have on our lives. Our friends influence us sometimes to do bad; but if we have positive & driven friends we will have a totally different outcome. Such as more level thinking and more positive decisions. My mother always told me to choice friends you can trust with your life. she means that if you can trust them with your life & you can trust choices they make then you will know they influence your life and if you trust them with that then they must be good friends. you wouldn't trust a criminal with your future so pick better friends " birds of a feather flock together."

    I think that this say that life can be what every you want it to be if you make the right choose.
    I think that this mean that if you don't make the right choose and see what happen but if you don't make them then see what happen.
    I think that apply to my life because be for I start playing football I was getting in a lot of fights and getting in a lot of trouble. But when I start to play football they told me that if I get in another fight i can't play. So I had to start making the right choose to play.
