Student Success Statement - 4/18/2018

"Its a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time" - Pam Knox

I agree with this quote, it is really important to always do what is right. When doing the right thing, it doesnt necessarily mean to do a glorious and award winning thing. Doing the right thing is all about being conscious of your actions and doing the right thing without expecting anything in return. For example, the video of the softball players. They did not expect anything in return, they did not expect to win the game, they did not expect any prize for their actiosn. They helped out a person because it was the right hting. They did not have to, they could have left her there at first base and just waited for her to either be replaced or to slowly and painfully get to home plate for the full homerun. Instead of leaving her there, they did what was right. They helped her, they helped a person they had been playing against and could've ruined their chances of winning. They did not let their wanting to win get in the way of being a good person. They carried the girl to home plate so she could get her first and last home run of her career, which was ended due to that injury.

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

"A promise must never be broken." - Alexander Hamilton I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is true. This quote is true because i pormise is made to do something for a reason and it should be completed. I thin k making a promise allows someone to trust you and if they break that promise then so will the trust be broken. Making promises is not something to be used lightly, you only promise something when you really mean it and know you qill complete it. Promises are important to everyone and almost everyone has promised something at some point in their life. Breaking a promise can lead to many consequences and can even lead to the relationship with the person you made the promise to be broken.

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
