For the first assignment, you will select a quote from a famous person that motivates learning and/or inspires towards success. Your quote will be published on a letter-sized paper, backed by a sheet of construction paper, and be posted on the walls around the classroom for the remainder of the year. You will also need to prepare a 30-second presentation explaining what the quote means and why it is meaningful to you.
Tasks:

- Copy and paste the entire quote in a MS Word document. Put quotation marks around the quote and include the author at the end. Example: “Your education is the single most important investment you can make in your future.” –President Obama
