Student Success Statement

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

-Wilford Woodruff

This is a tremendously true statement. When you do bad things bad things will come to you. When you do good things good things will come to you. For example if you don't do your homework or something you face the consequences of getting a phone call home or getting a zero on that assignment. You could have avoided those bad consequence if you jut would have done your homework on time when it was due. However, when you do something good like getting good grades all year long you might get honor roll or even a surprise from your parents. When you do bad things nothing will ever come to you. You can learn from that lesson but you won't succeed or get ahead. In addition to that when you do good you elevate and you get one step ahead then where you were. These examples should teach you how important it is to do that right thing no matter what. You can do something bad but what do you really gain. In class we were watching this video of a teen girl getting caught doing drugs. What did she gain? nothing. She gained nothing but jail time plus a $10,000 fine that she now has to pay. Not only was she caught doing drugs but in court she didn't take the consequences that she could have possibly face serious and was disrespectful. Further more in return she faced all these consequences when it could have simply been avoided if she was never doing drugs, if she would have taken the consequences she could possibly faced serious, and if she would have just done the right thing from the beginning. 

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. 

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. 

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?

Student Success Statement

"Only those live who do good."

-Count Leo Tolstoy

This is a very tremendous true statement provided by Count Leo Tolstoy. When you do good you feel good. It really makes you feel as if you are living.It brings you happiness, success, and fulfillment. Doing bad brings you misery and failure. Doing wrong makes you feel as if you aren't living. You can be wealthy and living by materialistic things. However, you can be poor in terms off happiness and success. You determine who you want to be. For example everything that is right isn't always popular and everything that is popular isn't always right.

Student Success Statement

" What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

-Albert Einstein

I think that this a true statement because as we seen in the two videos showed in class today we seen one act of kindness that an older man was doing that people don't often hear of then we see a video of something that is very popular across the world that isn't very good to do. Not only isn't it good but it has bad effects on your body and health. This man in the first video would go to the park once every week and give back to those who couldn't afford hair cuts. This is very important because you don't hear things like this too often and the man was doing it out of kindness with no money in return. The payment was a hug and making someone else feel important. However, in the second video we seen it was a very common thing many people young kids and adults do for fun. Drinking. Drinking is very popular around the world. Not only is it popular but many people do it not knowing how drinking alcohol can damage your body. Drinking alcohol is very common but it isn't something young kids and adults should do.So with this being said what's right isn't always popular. And what's popular isn't always right.
