“If you do what’s right, if you live the right way, you’ll be taken care of.”

Rachel castillo

Reflection:

This quote tells us that no matter what situation you are in and no matter how poorly you are being treated it is important to not resort to doing the wrong things. Choosing to do what is right you will receive good things your way and be led to great opportunities. For example if someone is going to physical abuse and they choose to tell an adult since you did good you will be awarded. On the other hand if you decided to continue to let it happen and not tell an adult you will become an accomplice of the crime. Another example would be if you see people cheating on a test and tell the teacher they will see you as a good student and favorite you. However if you decide to let the people cheat then the teacher will think you were cheating as well and you will receive a fail.

“Right is right only when entire.”

Victor Hugo

Reflection:

This statement tells us that there is only one version of the truth. That version is when you tell someone everything that happened and do not leave out a detail no matter how small. When you leave out details it makes everything you had said before a lie. By lying you lose trust and respect. If lying is so bad why do so many people continue to do it everyday all over the world? We do not not the true answer but we can make inferences. An inference you can make as to why people lie is that they want to seem cool around other people. Another inference we can make is that they know their actions were bad and were ashamed of them.

Student Success Statement

“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

Reflection:

What Mr. Washington means by this quote is that it is better to be around people that do good so you can have good influences. On the other hand if you are around people who do bad it is better to be by yourself instead of ruining your reputation and being known as a trouble maker. An example about being around good people is if you choose to be friends with a group of people that do good deeds because they are the right thing to do. Another example would be if you become friends with a group of kids that do not tell lies and follow rules. Another example would be if you befriend a group of people who help with anything when they can. When you are around good people they give you good influences that make you want to do good aswell. When you do good people will give you trust and responsibilities. However examples of having a bad group of friends would be if you hang out with people who are drug addicts that pressure you into doing drugs. Also an example would be if you hang around people who party and sneak out of their houses. Lastly an example would be hanging out with people who are disrespectful to everyone except themselves. When you hang out with bad people they will rub off bad influences on you and cause you to Choose The Wrong. Also people will not want to be around you and will have no trust in you. Instead of having bad company you can do something productive by yourself instead of being in the way of trouble.

Valentine's Day is a holiday that is celebrated in the name of St. Valentine.This holiday has mixed traditions that Christian and from Ancient rome.There are many stories about how Valentine’s came to be. One story took place in the third century at rome there was a Emperor by the of Claudius who thought that men who were single were better as soldiers since they didn’t have a wife or family. Then he forbid for young men to get married. There was a priest by the name of Valentine who thought that this was an injustice so he continued to allow marriages. Once Claudius found out about Valentine’s actions he sent him to death. Another story states that Valentine was sent to death because he helped prisoners escape from prisons where they were beaten and tortured. A myth stated that Valentine sent the first Valentine gift to a young woman he fell in love with that visited him in prison. The myth also state that before his death Valentine sent a letter to his loved that was signed as” from your Valentine”. Even though there are many stories all of them claim that  Valentine was a heroic and romantic individual.

Charles wrote this poem for his wife that was imprisoned in a tower during the Battle of Agincourt.

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

Arnold H. Glasgow

Reflection:
What Mr.Glasgow means by this quote is that you can’t do anything without having a goal in mind. Even though you have a route you can’t travel without having a destination. If you do not have goals you will not go far in life. On the other hand if you do have goals you will reach and exceed your goals because you have a destination as to where to travel. This quote has encouraged me to work hard for my goals. Once I have reached my goals I will create new goals to take myself farther. An example of this quote is football players, they can run around the field all day and not achieve anything because they do not have goals. ANother example is if you go to school and not have an idea as to what you want to be in life you will not reach your potential. When you have a goal you should do everything possible to achieve it because if you don’t you will have a life full of regrets. Goals are like plans for our future. A goal can lead you to where you want to go. Without goals you will not know where to stop or even where to begin. The only way to achieve success is achieving your goals. No matter how silly or how ridiculous your goal is that should not stop you from achieving it either way. You should not restrict yourself or your goals because that only means you are restricting yourself from success.

“ Only those live who do good.”

Count Leo Tolstoy

Reflection:

Even though all human beings live those who are truly living and enjoying life are people who are choosing to do the right. When you create and take part in bad actions then you are not truly living because you are being tied down by guilt. On the other hand those who go through with good actions are truly living because they are free to go and do as they please. By doing wrong you do not live because you can not truly experience freedom. However by choosing the right you do truly receive freedom because you can go anywhere you please and not be worried about getting caught or in trouble. For example if you do not complete your homework you are not truly living because now you have to stay after school to finish it when you can be doing other things. Also if you choose to behave bad during class you are not truly living because you will receive detention and give up your time. On the other hand an example of truly living is completing your chores because now you have free time to do as you please. Another example of truly living is finishing your homework because now you can go out with your friends. Even though these are small examples of truly living there are greater examples in life. For instance if you commit a crime you will find yourself in jail for a part of your life whereas you can be outside truly living. When you choose the right not only will you be truly living but you will be receiving great opportunities and outcomes.

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that(poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Ben Carson

Reflection:

Mr.Carson is trying to tell us that no matter what situation you're in it's your choice if you want to succeed or stay below depending on how hard you work. The only one who can decide your future is you, no one makes a big enough impact to keep your life below. When something happens to you you can’t blame anyone else because of the outcomes, you can only blame yourself because it was up to you to make things better or keep them bad. An example would be if you break your phone and want a new one, it is up to you to work and collect money to buy a new phone. Another example would be if you don’t finish your classwork, even though your surroundings might have distracted you it was up to you to ignore them and keep working. In the end you can’t blame anyone else because all the decisions are yours and you have to decide for the better. Nothing is impossible in life , no matter how hard they may seem. The only thing that makes them impossible is you not working towards them. No matter what position you are in you can always make it out, the only thing you need is an education. If you work hard now it will pay off later. By working hard you are bringing yourself closer to your goal. The key to success is having a good education, without an education you will get nowhere in life.

“Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.”

Russell M. Nelson

Reflection:

What Mr.Nelson is trying to teach us is that we should not do things we know are wrong just because everyone else is doing them. When you truly know something is wrong don’t follow the crowd, stand up for what you know is right no matter if everyone else is against you. By doing this not only will you receive appraise from others but you will feel pleased with yourself and your actions. An example would be if everyone else is cheating on a test, don’t cheat no matter how much you want to score well. Another example would be if your friends are smoking and they try to persuade you into doing the drug aswell, refus because you were taught better and know the repercussions smoking can cause to your body. Lastly an example would be if all your friends are stealing things from a store, do not go along with because if they get caught the bad reputation will not only be on them but you as well because you are around them so you’re seen as an accomplice. Nothing you do wrong will ever feel honest. When you do things you know are wrong you feel guilt that you have to live with until you confess to what you do. Living with guilt can feel like you are carrying a ton of weights on your shoulder. To avoid all the guilt and repercussions you can just stick to CTR. Save yourself all the trouble and avoid completing wrong actions. By doing this you are making yourself a better person that people can look up to in the future.
