Arthur Ashe was an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam single titles. Arthur Ashe has inspired me because of his perseverance during the Civil Rights movement and his definition of what defines a hero.

"True heroism is remarkably sober, very dramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost." - Arthur Ashe

Today I completed all of my weekly chores without my parents having to remind me. I usually need a little reminder to complete some tasks. I saw all of the chores that needed to be completed and I finished them today.

1.) Family
2.) Food
3.) Baseball
4.) Coaches
5.) Sports

With the COVID crisis taking away sports for months, I'm thankful for the opportunity to be able to return to the baseball fields for a needed stress reliever. I'm especially grateful as many people still aren't able to return to the activities they love, so I'm blessed for the opportunity.

The example I found of Character in Action for this week was from Steve Hartman's On the Road, who found the story of teenager Christian Lunsford. His dad had been in and out of jail, and while watching the news one night he saw that he had robbed 78 year old Tona Herndon at a gravesite. The teenage then met with the women to repay all of her debts from when she was robbed.

Today my parents were busy with meetings and other work related stuff so I made dinner so they wouldn't have to worry about that after their long day. This gave her more time to finish the other tasks she had to get done and not add more stress to herself.

The example I found of Character in Action for this week was from Steve Hartman's On the Road, who found the story of a young boy in a skatepark. To celebrate his fifth birthday, his mom took him to the local skatepark. Once they got there she saw a group of teenagers and considered leaving, because she was fearful of them bullying her son. To her surprise, they pulled her son to the side and taught him some skating tricks.

My gratitude choices reflect the heat that we're experiencing in Vista this week. We've been in the midst of a heat wave and our temperatures have been in the low 90's for the past week. It has been very difficult to cool down, which is why I'm grateful for access to air conditioning and shade which provides a little bit of comfort during this heat.

John Wooden was the head coach of the UCLA men's basketball team. He won ten national championships during a twelve year period with the team, including a stretch of seven titles in a row. John Wooden has always inspired me because he values character over any other ability, which I believe is a great way to live your life.

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden
