   "Only those live who do good."- Count Leo Tolstoy 

This quote, in other words, is saying people that make bad choices don't live to their fullest potential and aren't happy. I partially disagree with this quote because not everyone that makes bad decisions are unhappy. Most people that live a bad life are miserable but very few do not live miserably. I know several people that use drugs, which in some peoples eyes is a bad choice, and they live a happy life, they are intelligent, and get good grades. Also, not everyone that makes bad choices understand why their choices are wrong so they don't even realize and don't feel guilty which helps them live a normal happy life. Another reason why i disagree with this is because many people i know live in discomfort and are unhappy even though they make good choices. For example, my mom. Throughout my moms life she has always chosen the right, she has never been disrespectful, she looked after for herself and siblings, and she was obedient. Now, she is sometimes unhappy and it isn't due to anything she has done. My point is, you life is planned for you. Yes it is true, if you don't do what is right it will come back to you but just because you make a bad choice it wont always reflect on you unless it is destined to. Things happen for a reason and life will go on whether or not you make a bad/good choice because you can do good your whole life but there will always be bad in the world which can one way or another affect you.

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 like this quote because it is something people don't always do. 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
