I won't cheat (promise)

"I won't Cheat"

-Dale Murphy

Taking shortcuts is always wrong. Hard work takes dedication and effort. You might not get caught cheating but it will affect you in the long run. Therefore I promise to NEVER cheat. Cheating is wrong and you don't learn anything from it. Cheating is a bad thing to do. People should not cheat. Cheating gets you nowhere in life or in any other aspect of life. I believe that cheating is for people who don't want to succeed in life or learn anything. For example if you are cheating in grade school and you graduate. You are being rewarded for something you didn't do then when it is time to do something you learned or was taught you don't know how to do anything because you cheated your whole way out of grade school. This is why I say cheating is bad. Their is no true lesson behind cheating just pure failure. However, cheating is something anyone should ever want to do. Honesty is the best policy. 

A Right Heart

" Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."

-Benjamin Franklin

A right heart exceeds all. All I can say is that this a tremendous statement true and uplifting. It is a inspirational quote from our good friend Franklin. The beauty of your character is your great heart. For example, if you are a person to always cheat and say you can’t do something without trying that just shows the kind of person you are. That will show that you are just lazy and not very hardworking. On the other hand if you are someone who always is true to your word and very hands on it will show how trustworthy you are. So with this being said Benjamin Franklin “Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all” is a true uplifting statement to follow.

What we do today

" It may make a difference to all eternity we do right or wrong today."

-James Freeman Clarke 

This is a true statement. The actions you make today weather its wrong or good will affect you forever. In class today we had watch two videos. One was of a young man who had potential in school and was very intelligent that later made a decision that would affect his whole life. This young man only in his early 20's is now facing life in jail. He went on a shoot out a a theater and was found guilty of his charges. This is  a great example of what you do today will affect you weather it is right or wrong. On the other hand we watched another video of a couple who lost their son who would have been 9 years old. They were paying a forward in memories of their son like helping people pay for their Christmas presents for kids, paying for people meals, and even giving someone a diamond ring with little notes that reads in memory of Jayden. They are getting so much positive feedback all over the internet. 

Good Quality People

" Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." 

-George Washington 

What George Washington said is a true statement. When you associate yourself with good people their righteousness will rub off on you'. There are many benefits of associating yourself with good people. People have a big impact in your life. According to Jim Rohn " You are the average of the of the five people you spend the most time with." Meaning that if you are always with bad people the chance of you become like them are really high. People and their company have a big impact on your life. With someones quality alone you can determine what kind off person they are.

This is why I would not like having this job in my opinion.

Student Success Statement

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."

-Otto Graham, Jr.

I believe this is a statement we should live off of. Meaning you remove yourself from self righteousness position often embraced by older people. Asking yourself how a committed and honest person would act to certain situations. For example in class today we seen a video about a lady who dropped change into a homeless person cup and accidentally dropped her engagement ring inside. Her ring was worth $4,000 when he went to see if it was real or not. He passed up the opportunity of earning money that could of been his. Instead he kept the ring and returned it back when he seen the owner again. In return he reunited with his family and the couples started a fund me account receiving more that $184,000. A lot of people were touched and wanted to help this homeless man after hearing his tremendous story and his righteousness act.I truly believe that this quote is  an inspiration that everyone should think about before making choices. Is it right or is it wrong?

Intelligence Plus Character

Student Success Statement

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Student Success Statement

"Right is right only when entire."

-Victor Hugo 

I believe that this is a true statement. It teaches you why it is important to be truthful all the time. For example if you are doing a test and if you cheat on one problem because you don't understand it, that id you not being truthful and entire. Many people might ask my is a partial truth still an entire lie? Well because you aren't saying the full story to something. Right is right and wrong is wrong. This statement brings us back to our previous quote that right is right even if everyone is against it and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it. However owing up to your mistakes is an example of being right even if everyone is against it  or if it isn't popular. Victor Hugo teaches us within this quote that being truthful and honest is the right thing to do. So with that being said right can only be right it is truthful and honest. Wrong is wrong even if its's just a little lie.

While a degree is not a degree is not required by all dental schools, it is usually recommended and may give prospects an edge when applying for admission.

Reflection: I would like to be an orthodontist if I am not able to push forward to the career of being of registered nurse. I have braces and every time I go to the dentist or to get a wire change I admire what they do. They are hardworking people and seems to love what they do for a living. However, teeth are a big part of your appearance. It also just seems so fun to work with teeth and make people begin to love to smile. Often times people don’t like to smile because they are insecure about their teeth. I believe smiling brings out your true character and that’s why teeth are so important to me. With that being said yes I would love to be an orthodontics.

Student Success Statement Rachel Castillo Story

" If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."

-Rachel Castillo

If you do whats right and live the right way you'll be taken care of. Doing the right thing makes you richer by far. Today in class our good friend Rachel gave a good example of being a Ctr person. Rachel who works at a golf course found thousands of thousands of dollars laying around. Instead of keeping it she gave all the money back to the owner. She said "This is about the same amount of money I make  in a year." Instead of taking it she believed that returning it was the right thing to do. She continued on and said "Fast money is not good money." she also mentioned that she was a christian and that in the bible she read that lying nor stealing is good. Rachel story was incredible not only because she gave the money back but because not many people would have did what she did. Rachel shows us how to live our life truthfully and the right way.

Reflection:

I would not like to do this because, it takes a long time to accomplish. I wouldn’t want to do something that takes a long time to accomplish because in the process of going to school I might get bored of one thing and decide to change my mind about the career I am interested in. However I feel like if that does happen it would be a waste of time. So therefore I rather do something quick in case I would want to take the path of another medical career. This is a great career to follow if you are interested in the body and learning about new diseases.
