Student Success Statement

"Hold Yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

Henry Ward Beecher

      What i understand about this quote is that you must not let people bring you down. You have to prove them wrong. An you better surprise them, so they know they shouldn't be prejudice. They shouldn't judge a books by a cover. An example would be if somebody say your not smart and if you pass your math class. The person that told you that is challenging you to pass it or else you be a nothing in life. You must surprise them so they stop bringing people down. If somebody brings you down, you must be the one to bring yourself up no ,matter what people think of you its for your own good. You must have that responsibility to go beyond the moon and shoot for the stars. If somebody thinks you have low standards, you don't prove them wrong, and don't excuse your self for nobody. You have your mind set out to be a higher standard person. Thats why i agree with this quote.

Dont't do it Dont't say it

"If it is not right do not do it;

If it is not true, do not say it."

Marcus Aurelius

 I agree with this quote from Marcus Aurelius. It means that if you say something to say thats true why say it . If you know its not the right thing to do why doing it. So if your going to says a lie about someone thats not true. Why would you say it if you know its not true.  What if someone says a lie about you and you know it aint true how would you feel. What if your going to do something like steal something or someone. You know its bad but why do you do it anyways. But if you know its the right thing to do then you could go ahead and do it. 

Doing what is right, fair and honorable

 "Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

  

  Chick Moorman

                 

 This quotes is saying that it does not matter if you win or lose, as long as you're doing the right. For example let's say your friendship with bad friends benefited on losing them if you chose to do the right. You chose the right and you lost your friends but you know what you did was right and so soon you will be benefited with good outcomes. The choice of choosing what is right is way more important than anything having to do with bad. When you chose the importance of winning or losing over the importance of choosing the right there is always negative consequences that come your way. All this has to do with what you want and the choices you make. That is why you must choose carefully and decide what you want before making any move. It is hard to go through obstacles, like persuasion but you have to have the courage to overcome those people who want to make you do bad. Don't be a follower of people who are choosing the wrong. Make your own decisions and good will come your way if you do what is right.

Student Success Statement

1. Have the courage to say no.

2. Have the courage to face the truth.

3. Do the right thing to do because it is right.

W.Clement Stone   

what i think this quote means or what its trying to have you understand is that there are three steps you should take to not only living a good truthful life but along with a healthy life as well cause the examples given was that if there would be a time if someone tried offering you a smoke or a drink ansd your not of a proper age then you have to build up the courage to say no now the person who offered you was a so called friend they would accept your choice and move on with their life and if they just start fussing over it just go really they are not worth your time and if you dont want to be seen as a loser and do it you already are a loser and along with just being a complete idiot id just rather be a loner than die at the spot already from all that booze and drugs being consumed and with that good luck and take my advice and you dont need to not like it matters just my opinion.

Shall be wise

        He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but

a companium of fools shall be destroyed.

This statement is saying that you future also depends on the people you hang around with. You must have good influences so your future is good. People who do good and have bright futures are the type of people you would want to be around with. Who you hang out with will determine how you future will look like. For example: if you hang around a group of good people who dont ditch school, get good grades, don't do drugs most likely you will achieve more in life because they will influence you to do the same. On the other hand, if you hang around people who smoke, ditch,steal, or aren't trying to be Successful in life, the same will happen to you because you hang around them so much you start catching they hobbies and bad decisions. Choose the right and hang out with people that will be good for you and avoid people who will destroy you. An example would be if a girl starts hanging out with bad influences and shes suddenly starts acting like them. She starts to smoke, she drinks, and ditches class. The cops catch her one day and she is arrested. After that she starts hanging out with good people and she becomes a better smarter person.

Always

                 "Right is right, even if everyone is against it;                                                      and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

                                                     William Penn

                                                                                  This quote means that right is right even if there are a few people doing the right. Just because there is a few people choosing the right doesn't mean its wrong. Right is right no matter what. No matter how many people are in favor or against it. Wrong is wrong even if everyone is in favor of it. Just because there are a lot of people doing the wrong doesn't mean its right. You always have to do the right no matter what the circumstances are, even if you are the only one. So you have to know already that you alays need to choose the right. You dont need to folow other peoples footsteps.
