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 - 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

"Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right"                                                                                                                                     - Russell M. Nelson  I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is very true. This quote reminds me of peer pressure which is a big problem with people my age, high-schoolers. Many of the people in high school tend to rebel during these years so that means they use drugs, cheat, or are just doing what is not right. It is important that we think about this quote when it comes to making a bad decision. For example, throughout my years of going to school i have always had that kid in the class that is known for cheating. Several times i told this kid that cheating was not the right answer so i would help him. Many people are not used to receiving help which is a big reason as to why i believe people cheat.  I have always been big on doing what is right. Every time that i do
