Student Success Statement

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligent plus character, that is the goal of true education" 
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr


This quote is true and is something many people can learn from. This quote is talking about how receiving true education isn't just all about gaining knowledge on whatever subject you are learning. Being truly educated is also when your educator helps you figure yourself out while also teaching you. This quote comes from a very important person. Martin Luther King was an activist during the civil rights movement and demanded rights for black people. He was a very person and accomplished a lot throughout his life. I believe this quote is true because of my past school year experiences. Throughout my life i have always had mostly great teachers. These teachers all had one thing in common, they were great educators and understood all the students in a way that some people cant.

Student Success Statement - 2/14/18

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act according."                                                                                - Otto Graham  This quote, in my own words, means acknowledge if something is wrong or right and make the best choice. Many times, i have thought about a quote similar to this and i actually make my decisions with a conscious mind and i think about what is right and what is wrong and make sure that drives me to my decision.

I feel like some peolpe make decisions and dont really think about the effects the choice will have on them or whoever in the long run. I feel like if people thought about the choices  they make and focus on how it could negatively impact them or someone else, we wouldn't have so much voilence. But sadly, that is not what happens. Instead i make sure i make the right decisions. For example, yesterday at church class I was sitting at a desk and saw

Student Success Statement - 4/12/2018

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching even far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? NO, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser I dont really u nderstand this quote because its comparing two things that are nothing alike. Also why would anyone ever give their word never to cross it? This statement doesn't make sense and doesnt even tell us what exactly his words of honor are. I think its good for him that maybe he understnads tis quote, but  dont. Also, I dont think he would keep his word of honor if he admits to trying to escape a prison that he was in their for a crime he had comitted. I dont think this quote nmakes much sense because in order to g
