Student Success Statement - 5/19/2018


there is others way to recover from something hurtful. it is  not always easyto forgive and to just put it in a sentance like that is dumb because they over simplify. it is not like you suddenly tell your brain that its time to stop being mad at whatever and just forgive them. it takes time and it is not always easy. also the example was dumb because we all know, well people with actual knowledge of the harsh realities, tha if this person were black or any other race but white he would have never been able to get out that soon.. he might of not even been able to get out. this guy was privledged because he killed two people and got out after 11 years? that is like 5 and a half years for rach of the girls he murdered. he talks about how bad drinking and driving is but maybe he should have taken his own advice. the amount of years the girls had left are nothing compared to the 11 years he served in jail. it is also kinda weird that the mother said he was sorry for him but never in the video did he say so, he only spoke about still feeling guilty after being let out. also they stated that throughout the time he was in jail he never showed remorse about what he did. also the lady that wrote that letter admitted that at the time that she said she had forgiven him she really didnt and was still mad. 

"When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive." - Alan Paton

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
