Action Hero: Jackie



Jackie Chan

"Do not let circumstances control you. You can change your circumstances."

Here is Sherri's Asian Culture Celebration Month quotation contest, week 3!
Like we did with African History Month, this month the vocabulary contest will be quotes from famous Asian people. You are being asked to describe what the quote means to you. Remember to include in your answer:


something you know about Jackie Chan, (click the post title to check your info)

your interpretation of how he might have meant this in his own world, and

how it means something to you in YOUR world, right now.

Sherri will get your answers straight from this blog!

I think Jackie Chan is saying is do not let someone boss you.Your the boss of your self.This reminds me of one of my friend bossed me around so I walked away. One time my friend was being a boss so I walked up and I said you are being a boss of me and she stopped bossing me.
