Good values

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

-Dennis Prager

This is a true statement. Good Values is something that you think is more important than anything else. In a situation such as your dog drowning then a couple of feet over you see a human drowning who would you save? Well some people might say the dog "I love my dog I had him since I was a little kid" While others might say the human "I think I should save him because the human is more important." Well those are values that everyone has. Values play a big part of our lives. Without values love nor will happiness be able to play a part of our lives. For example everyone likes sweets but you know that if you eat it that you will gain weight and if you eat so much of it you will become obese. In this case you value your appearance or the way you look because knowing that junk food can make you gain weight you probably won't eat as much compared to if eating sweets had no side effects. 

Forgiveness Student Success Statement

Forgive

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgives." 

-Alan Paton 

Alan Paton has gave us all word of wisdom.Forgiveness you might ask what does that have to do with me being happy? Well it has a lot to do with your happiness with others and within ourselves. This is a true statement and we all can agree that we aren't perfect we all make mistakes and sometimes we hold other's mistakes done to us inside. Forgiveness leads to happy destinations. When something is done to us we won't heal until we forgive. Forgiveness is he only way to heal. At times it might be hard to forgive but if you want to be happy within yourself you have to forgive. Not forgiving leads to bitterness and resent. To forgive means to not hold anything against someone or something and to let go of a harsh feeling. When we forgive we feel better. A question we should think about is what good does holding something against someone or something that has wronged you help you. The answer is it doesn't it just makes you more upset when you have a gut feeling telling\constantly reminding you of what was done wrong. We all have flaws and imperfections but it's our job to embrace our own and everyone else imperfections. Well why? Because someone might  do something to us not intentionally but accidentally &sometimes some of the things that are done to us for a reason. When one door is closed another one is opened. This relates to what Alan Paton stated because sometimes the things that people do to us are a wake up call to something or sometimes won't benefit us at the moment but later on will. The lesson here is to forgive and without forgiving you don't be happy within yourself, other, or any other form or shape.

Eight Great Reasons To Tell The Truth

- Barbara A. Lewis 

1. Telling the Truth let's everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished 
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learned from what happened 
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the other than for lying and getting caught
5. Other people trust you more wen you tell the truth
6. You don't have to tell more lies to keep your story straight 
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- A trait most people value
8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside  

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.

Stand Alone

"Dare to stand alone. Stand up for what is right even, if you are the only one standing."  

-Thomas S Manson

This is a great challenge for everyone to try to follow because you don't have to go the same direction as everyone else it's okay to be different. For example, we seen a video in class about a girl name Brook who lives in Mexico and who also is 6 ft tall. That's pretty tall for a girl but that's okay its okay to be different. Sometimes being different is the best choice you could have ever made. Not only will it affect you positively but it would influence others to take the same path you are in. It only takes one to make a different and that one could be you, me. our community, or even our peers. Let's make a difference today. Back to Brook, she is noticed everywhere she goes and that's okay stand tall. If you are going to stand tall be noticed and bring awareness.
