A Promise

"A promise must never be broken." 

-Alexander Hamilton

I believe that promises are suppose to be kept no matter what. Promises are when you say you are going to do something or you aren't going to do something. Promises are very important. For example this teacher had a made a promise and boy oh boy did he keep it. His promise was to not shave his bread until someone was caught or dead. He kept his bread for more than 3,000 days. He was loyal to his word and didn't break his promise.

Student Success Statement

Goodness

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

-Henry David Thoreau

This is a true statement we make many investments throughout our life. We may invest in jobs, money, stock, or other good offers. Sometimes investments we invest in might fail. However, the only investment that never will fail is goodness. An act of kindness will never fail. But, if you invest in bad things chances of you failing are 85% likely. An example in investing in something bad is harming someone or doing something that isn't prohibited. Your consequences for your bad actions can be jail time, probation, or service community service hours. An investment that will never fail is your good deed. Happiness and success will come your way. All your actions do come with a reaction but it's all in the choices you make that will determine weather it will be a good reaction or bad reaction. If we all just spread love the world will be a happier place and failure would not be in our minds just doing something as small as giving someone a smile down the hall might make someones day. You never know today might be the day you light up someones day.

Refection

 No, I would not want to be a psychologist because I am not interested in science and anatomy and how the body works. This is more for someone who is interested in how he brain and body functions. In fact, I would really want to be a registered nurse and help the sick. However, this profession does sound like a good job but not something I would personally want to do in the future unless I am interested in the brain and how it functions. Though I probably would want to get a little involved in knowing somethings about mental disorders because I have a god sister who has a mental disorder and she has complications talking properly. Due to the fact of her having a mental disorder she was taught sign language and that is how we communicate with her. Even though I don't know sign language I still find a way to communicate with her and I would just want to be a little more involved in how to help families who has kids or young kids in general reconnect or make a connection with a kid who suffers form mental disorders.
