Student Success Statement - 2/8/18

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington


I agree with this quote because it is something all of us need to learn and i have experienced things that have convinced me that this quote is true. Several times my mom has told me this quote, but in different words. She has told me that it is best to not have friends because sometimes it is for a reason. Now that I think back maybe the reason why i didn't have many friends at the time that she told me this was due to this quote. I think i did not have many friends throughout middle school because they'd be a distraction towards what i was going to school for, an education. Also when people have friends that don't make a positive influence on them they tend to get into more trouble which can follow them throughout their whole life. I agree with this quote because sometimes many people don't realize how their friends affect them. It is important that everyone knows this quote and that it helps them think about what kind of life they are leading and how their friends are contributing to that.

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

Student Success Statement - 5/8/2018

" If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing, I'm going to succeed." - Dan Dierdorf I think this quote means that if you know what you want in life and are determined, you will succeed and continue to strive for greatness. I agree with this quote because when you are focused on doing something bad nothing good will ever come out of it. When you know what goals you want and are going to make a positive impact on your life, the steps you take to complete the goal will lead you to do the right thing. Everythign in ife has an outcome so might as well do something good so the outcome could also be good. Life is full of ups and downs so it is almsot impossible to do good ALL the time but it is important to learn from your mistakes.
