                                        Student Success Statement

                    "A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I believe that this statement does not only apply to men but also women. A woman always knows where to go and what to do but when she has no goals she is simply stuck and indecisive. Whenever a man has no goals set in his life he will lose control of himself and will serve for nothing. Goals are essential in everyone's life. Having goals makes us be ambitious and seek for important stuff that we care about and want to accomplish.

If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Conclusion: If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.

Chinese Proverb

Reflection: I think that when you do good you get good in return. When you are being nice people are also going to be nice at you. It is necessary to have plenty of beauty in your character, this way people are going to know you are of value and you will be treasured by many. The ones who don't will only envy you and fill their heart with hatred, loneliness, and sadness.

"The Six Pillars of Character"

"The Six Pillars of Character"

1. Trustworthiness
    Respect
    Responsibility
    Fairness
    Caring
    Citizenship

2. Trustworthiness is being honest, having the courage to do the right thing. If my mom lends me 20 dollars and expects me to give 10 dollars i will give her that amount of money, she can trust me.

    Respect is about being tolerant and accepting of differences. If someone argues with me, I will be calm and not cuss or begin to lose myself. I will respect that persons argument.

    Responsibility is about doing what I'm supposed to do, being accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes. If I have homework due the teacher can rely in me and I will be responsible and I will turn in the homework by the day it is due.

    Fairness is about playing by the rules, not taking advantage of others. If I'm playing a game and I loose i will not be dissapointed, I will be fair and accept that i lost and simply try harder the next time.
   
   Caring is about being kind and compassionate, helping the ones in need. If i see a homeless person who is hungry and ask me for money i will lend money if I have, i will be caring and kind.

    Citizenship is about cooperating and being involved in your community. If my community is dirty and needs to be cleaned I will help clean to make our community look neat and better of a community to live in.

4.Reflection: I think that the six pillars of character make us reflection about our actions. The way we act will show the way we were raised. Whenever you follow these pillars you will be rewarded with happiness and gratitude inside your spirit and heart. Learning these manners will make you a better person.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles

Reflection: I believe that doing what you want in a correct way will bring you honor. Honor is way more important thank just winning something. Cheating is bad and always brings dishonor and disrespect to yourself. Personally I would prefer to fail and not accomplish anything with honor than accomplish and win something by cheating. I can't stand myself if I ever was to do something by cheating. Finally, I must say that the only one who can think and judge you is yourself. Be conscious of your actions and whatever actions you take you must remember that you must do it the correct way. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day "Land of the Free because of the Brave"

1. Memorial Day is to remember and commemorate those who died in active military service .

2. The purpose of Memorial Day is to demonstrate respect and honor to those who gave their life to give us and keep our freedom.

3. Memorial Day originally came May 30th, but now it has been changed to the last Monday in May.

4. A few ways you can show honor and respect on Memorial Day are having parades and voluntarily keep silence for some minutes and demonstrate honor and respect to those who died for our country. And remember all gave some, some gave all.

5. 

6. Did you know that Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day, for the practice of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags. Federal Law declared Memorial Day the official name in 1967.

7. What I would do on Memorial Day to show honor and respect would be to do a prayer to all the fallen ones that gave it all, and to those who bravely keep fighting and giving it all. This is a special day in which respect and honor are essential to our country. Finally, God bless America!

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, I'm going to succeed."

Don Dierdorf

Reflection: I believe that one has to be confident about what he or she is doing. Doing the right thing is essential to everyone, your actions are based in what you have been educated, the more nice, the more educated. When you do the right thing you succeed, you feel good in the inside. My conclusion is that whenever you do something right, you will feel successful.

        "The most important thing you will ever have is good values"

Reflection: I think that having good values is essential to all of us. When you have good values you demonstrate you are well educated and that you come from a good family. When you are polite and treat people nicely that makes people feel love and nice things for you. Whenever your feeling down and sad there is no need for you to turn people down.            

While watching this video of Dennis Pragger I realized that being honest to your feelings is very important. I realized that we humans do what we think is right and rule by what we are thought by our parents and we don't always turn to do well. But we always have the option to choose what is correct.
