Student Success Statement: Victor Hugo

“ Right is right only when entire.” - Victor Hugo

I agree with Victor, this quote has a strong meaning to it. We all can identify the good and wrong. We all know the difference, but what makes us not listen? We may not listen because we want to seem cool to other people. We lie to everyone, we put on disguises to not show what we really feel.  We try to hide things from everyone because we think they might judge us. But we don’t have to lie, the only way someone can help you is by knowing how you feel. When you lie, it just becomes into a bigger lie. This can become an even bigger problem. The lie gets bigger and the consequence worse.

Student Success Statement: George Washington

“ Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for ‘its better to be alone than in bad company.”- George Washington

I agree with george when he states this. There are many people in the world. Let's say there are 8 million people in the world. Half of them are females, and the other half are males. It seems like a lot of people doesn’t it? Okay so we are down to half of males and females, in the females there are 4 million. Half of those females are kind and the other half are not. Now we have 2 million females. It seems like there are a lot but those 2 million kind people are all over the world. So if we think about it, it's not as many kind people in the world. If you find one, stick with them, they are the one’s that will encourage you. It's the same for the males, so not as many kind people in the world. We all need a person that will be with us to help us, that’s what most people say. It may or may not be true. Make a choice, because every choice you make opens up to new one’s.

Student Success Statement: Arnold H. Glasgow

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

I agree with Arnold Glasgow when he says this. I believe you will never go far unless you know where it all ended. You need to know when it started and when it ended to be able to know what you accomplished or did not accomplish. We all have a pathway to go, but we never know where it leads. We need time to think and see what our lives were. What they have become and how could of you improved it. We all take some time to reflect at the end  of the day. You should be able to reflect at the end of the day and have no regrets because you have done what was right and not done what wasn’t right.  We need to think about the things we did. So we do need to know where the goalposts are to think back and reflect on what you have accomplished.

Student Success Statement: Count Leo Tolstoy

“ Only those live who do good.” - Count Leo Tolstoy

I think this is a good quote. I agree with Counts Leo Tolstoy because the people that are living all have a personality. The living all have spirits. Our spirits dance around and have big dreams and like to explore. We have something that some people wish they had. We have happiness at some point in our lives. We may not see it but our spirits fly around when we are filled with joy. The living have a happy life, we are lucky. But we forget sometimes the important thing to do, to be good. We are selfish because we only think about how we feel. If we have lives why not waste it with something important? Why not waste it doing good things? Why not try being polite or help someone out with something they are struggling with? It seems like a pointless thing to do, but the smallest of actions can make someone feel a bit better. We have lives, so waste it on being good.

Student Success Statement: Dr. Ben Carson

“ I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that ( poverty ). It depends on how hard I want to work, and I decided that I wanted to change it. “- Dr. Ben Carson

What this quotes significance is that we decide if we want to change our future. We all come from a family, we all know what it's like for us to want something but never get it. For some of us it is even more hard to support our family, we all have a path. We all have a path that leads us somewhere, but the thing is we never know when and where that path will lead us and end. We don’t know when it can end or where it leads. That is a mystery for us all, well for most of us anyways. But we all have one, the possibilities of where they might lead are endless. And that is a good thing, we don’t know our future. The best part in life is that you don’t take it somewhere unless you make the choice. Unless you say so it will keep leading to a path the is unknown. So unless you do something about it to change it, no one else will change it for you. You will have to take responsibility for your own future, it's not someone else's life, it's yours. You need to learn how to hold on to life when you're slipping, you take control. If you don’t you’ll fall and you will end up where you started. Work hard and it will pay off, do it for the people you care about and if not for them, then at least do it for yourselves.

Student Success Statement: Russell M. Nelson

“ Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT. “- Russell M. Nelson

I agree with Russell Nelson when he says that doing wrong is never right. I have a thought, and it goes like this, we were brought into this world to help eachother out.  We are all given many chances when we make a mistake, and the thing is we make that mistake again. Many people ignore it, all they are thinking is to live while were young. I think that is partly true but many people don’t understand what it truly means. And that's okay, i mean like i said we all make mistakes. There has never been a person that has never made a mistake. It is not possible. Anyways, we are all given many chances and sometimes we don’t see them or take it. We think that once we have made a mistake there is no turning back, sometimes it's true. But I've learned that it's never too late to turn back. So here's my advice learn from your mistakes. At least try to learn from them, it's not as complicated as it looks.
