Student Success Statement

“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 right, I’m going to succeed.”

Dan Dierdorf

If you have goals and you really want to reach those goals, this quote explains why you should do it and how. The only way you can actually reach your goals if you actually do the right things all the time because if you do the right things all the time then you won’t have no problems in your way, you won’t have to deal with anything because you did the right thing. People always say they have goals and what they want to do when they reach that goal but they never say what they’re going to do and how they’re going to do it while reaching that goal. In my opinion the only way you can really reach your goals if you always do the right things and if you always keep up on what you have to do. If you do that then you’ll be good because you won’t have nothing blocking your way of you reaching that goal.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilford Woodruff

When you do the wrong thing you don’t gain anything, all you ever gain is guilt and people not trusting you anymore. It’s better to do the opposite and always stick to doing the right thing. If you do the right thing you will end up gaining something and the thing you will gain is people trusting you, feeling good about yourself, not having guilt and etc. People don’t always think of the consequences when they’re going to do something bad. They just think of the fun that comes along when doing that bad thing or they just do it becomes they want to. It’s just better to be that type of person where all you ever do is the right thing because you won’t have any problems, you’ll have no guilt and you’ll be free. So might as well always do the right thing instead of doing the wrong thing.

“It’s A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

Pam  Knox

What Pam means is that it’s better to do the right thing at the right moment because by you doing that you become a greater person. For example, if you win something and then you realize it was a mistake, and you owe up to that mistake you might of gotten your price taken away but at least you were honest and truthful to yourself and the other people that were part of the game. People don’t realize how good it will make you seem when you’re honest about something that isn’t true, even if you lose something, you gain something and that is trust for yourself and from others.

Student success statement

“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 ever so 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 me chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No never I’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

What Karl is saying is that he rather live on good than live on bad. He’s saying if I’m behind prison walls there will be a way out, a way out of that badness. Saying there is hope to get out of that prison wall. It’s better to be around or in a place where you’re not locked up or in the middle of something that you know it’s not right rather than being in a place with no freedom because of the choices you made. I think that’s what people don’t think about when they make bad choices, they just think about the fun that they’re going to have but not about the consequences and I think that’s what people don’t realize that it’s better to know your place rather than having people or bad choices control you.

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

People always think that being a mean or rude person matters what but what really matters is how you are. You have to understand that things aren’t always going to go your way. For example, if you are a player in a basketball team and you get benched and you think about how getting mad isn’t worth it and you learn how to accept it, that is when your true character comes out and you know you did the right thing than doing the wrong thing because you were upset. Even throughout life you have to learn how to be a good character and choose the right choices because if you end up making a bad choice then you’ll have consequences to face.

Student success statement

“Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.’’

Mr. C.S haymore

This quote is a good idea of saying to respect yourself. To do the right things and don’t let nobody tell you what to do, it’s your choices it’s your life, your mistakes, it just all depends on how you live it. If you are in a situation where you can decide whether to do the right thing or wrong , it depends on you and if you do the right thing then you’re showing yourself that you do have control of your own body, mind, and spirit. Often people do the opposite of what they should really do and they always end up in some kind of problem so if you want the best for yourself , choose for yourself.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, don’t say it.”

Marcus Aureluis

He’s saying be smart on what you do and be smart on what you say because if you do the wrong things you pay consequences and if you say the wrong things that aren’t true  you might end up hurting someone and if you’re the type of person to say things that aren’t true and do the wrong things people are going to see you as a mean person and you rather be a person whose wise and do the right things so people can see you as a good person. An example of being a person who does neither and does the right things that the quote says , let’s say you hear something from someone about your friend and you’re not sure if it’s true it’s better to let the person know than rather keeping it from them.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

Everyone should be a wise person because when you’re wise you think about everything twice. It’s better for you to be a good person than be someone who doesn’t care about themselves or anyone else. Those type of people end up doing the wrong and end up somewhere where they’ve never wanted to be in the first place but because those did the wrong they got the wrong thing back. But if you’re a wise person and think about everything twice and do the right things you’ll end up somewhere successful.

Student success statement

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

This is saying it’s better to be a good person than be someone who is opposite of good. When you have a lot of things it doesn’t matter what matters is who you actually are as a person because you want to be remembered as something not because of the things you had. If you’re the type of person that wants to be remembered for who they are then be a good person.
