Student Success STatement - 5/10/2018

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." - Sophicles 
This quote is a quote that quotes that it is better to lose  honestly than win dishonestly. I think that this quote is true, but how do we know if Sophicles actually said this? I often wonder about that with some of the quotes. This quote can be talking about almost anything, it could be talking about a race, a baseball game, basketball, a horse race, or a wrestling match. This quote can be used even when not talking about a sport or competition. The simple act of doing a test or your homework has opportunities to cheat because cheating can be done at any time and in any way. The idea that winning is the most important thing is false, the most important thing is being honest and letting the person that is truly the best, be the best and win without using things to enhance their performance. This quote demonstrates havign good values and how to accept that sometimes we dont win, but if we were honest and played fair, its not really losing since you gave it your all.

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,...

The Effects of Marijuana

Effects of Marijuana 1. Marijuana can affect you in several ways. These ways can be both positive and negative.  Some of the negative affects include: - Rapid heart beat - Increase risk of heart attack  - Increase risk of bleeding - Lowers blood pressure These are only some of the ways that smoking, inhaling, or eating marijuana can affect on your body.   In the past month, 6.5 percent of eighth graders, 16.6 percent of 10th graders and 21.2 percent of 12th graders admitted to marijuana use.  Some of the ways we could help create a non-marijuana using community is by offering help. When using a drug it isn't an easy decision to suddenly decide not to keep doing that drug. They need to slowly get away from it, and even then that isn't easy for some users.  I commit and promise to never use marijuana, ever, regardless of what society says.
