Reflection

My thoughts on the 8 reasons to always tell the truth are these are some good ideas to influence people to always tell the truth. These are ways to help me cope with telling the truth. Sometimes when we do things over and over gin it becomes a habit. Habits are things you love to do and are hard to get rid of. Habits can be good or bad things. For example if you have a habit of biting your fingernails when you are nervous  all the time that is considered a bad habit because every time you get nervous you always bite your fingernails. An example of a good habit is always taking the trash out when you get home from school. That is a good habit because you are helping your mom around the house even if it's something small you do it without her telling you to do it. These are tips young teens and adults should consider taking. 

Be True

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody who stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." - Abraham Lincoln

This is an honorably true statement. I believe that being truthful is the first step to a happy and successful life. This is a good quote for young people, even for anybody in general. This is good for kids who don't know what kind of people are good to hang around with in school. This teaches you to stand with those who are going to encourage you and lift you up. Only stand with those who have a good impact on your life and who are truthful. Abraham Lincoln was a good man. He was very truthful and honorable. Everyone knew of him as a A student who never told lies and showed intelligence. He was one who everyone loved and he will always be remembered for  his hard work and success that he has had in life. He has taught others the way of living. He was a great man and will continue to go down in history. His name will continue to be passed down generation to generation. 

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.
