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.

Student Success Statement: Mr. C. S. Haymore

“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”- Mr. C.S. Haymore

I agree with this quote. What this quote is telling us is to be responsible. Be responsible for your own things. We need to take responsibility for our own being. Taking responsibility means you will not need to depend on anyone in the future. Taking responsibility means not needing anyone to take care of you. Because you are already dependable on  yourself. You don’t need anyone to be pushing you or telling you what to do. Because you already know what you need to do. You know mentally that you need to do things. Your mind will remind you when it needs to. It will remind you of what you need to do automatically. You don’t need anyone. All you need is your body, mind, and spirit.

Student Success Statement: Paul Hatch

“ When you tell a lie it leads to another.” - Paul Hatch

I agree with Paul Hatch when he says this statement. We all know that everyone lies at some point in their lives. We lie because we don’t want to get in trouble, or you want to protect someone. Whatever the reason is well more like excuse, you lead to a lie. It doesn’t matter how small the lie is, it's still a lie.  It can affect many people with such a little lie.  It can affect you too.  You need to think about people around you.  You need to think about what your action will cause.  We all know that after a bad thing we do there are consequences.  We all know that there are consequences yet we still do them anyways.  Why is that?  We still do it because you think that you can get away with it, because you don’t want to deal with it.  You say you will deal with it later but then time passes and you don’t.  This is due to laziness.  People like to be lazy and want things to be done for them.  But that is not how life works.  You need to learn to face your problems and become responsible.  You need to face the fact that for every action there is a consequence.  There is no need for lies because you can simply tell the truth.  It is that simple, tell the truth and you won’t have to think of all the bad possibilities.

The Sting Of The Scorpion

In the video we saw that a seven year old boy was in the dessert with his parents. His parents would always tell him to wear his shoes to protect his feet from the dangers in the sand. One morning he decided he want to explore for a while, and so he wore his flip flops. As he was walking he felt a sting on his foot. The pain raised up his leg and he fell to the floor calling for help. He had been stung by a black scorpion. They rushed him to the hospital that was two hours away and the doctor saved him. The little boy thought he was going to die but he didn't. He said he realized that when his parents told him to put on his shoes, it was for his well being. He had realized that he had gotten lazy and chose the flip flops instead of his shoes. We get lazy too at some point in our lives, and we don't want to do anything. But this little boy realized that he didn't listen and there was consequences.

 

Student Success Statement: Mark Twain

“ Always do right.” - Mark Twain

I agree with Mark Twain when he says these three meaningful words. As a person, we all have choices. Every choice we decide to make changes our future. It can change your future in a good way or a bad way. Every second of everyday there is always something happening. There is never going to be a time where nothing is happening. You have to choice if you're going to be the cause of the action. You can either cause it or prevent it from happening. You have many choices throughout your whole life. We may choose the wrong choices once in awhile. But sometimes we choose the right choice because we want what’s best for us. We want the best choice and selfishly everyone wants that.Or selfishly we want it for ourselves or for a person not to have those choices. We all know that one way or another your mistakes will come back to you. There is never going to be a time where you will do something bad and not face the consequences.

Student Success Statement; John F. Kennedy

“ Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”- President John F. Kennedy

I agree with President John F. Kennedy when he says that physical fitness is not only the most important keys to a healthy body. Physical fitness does not only have one purpose, it can have many purposes. They can be to get in shape, just for fun, to blow off some stress, and many more. The point is that physical fitness does not have only one purpose. It can help a lot of people with many things in many ways. If you think that it is just to get in shape, then you are wrong. Many people depend on physical fitness to help relax their bodies. Or people can also use it for the brain too. It can exercise the brain in many  ways. Just because you see a person that has a nice body and seems all happy all the time, it does not mean everything in their life is perfect. They can have some issues at home or with a person. That’s where the physical fitness comes in, they use it to let their stress out or to get their mind off of things.

Student Success Statement: Chick Moorman

“ Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”- Chick Moorman

I agree with Chick Moorman because what he says here is true. It is very important to be fair and honorable. You have to be fair because if you aren’t you won’t learn from your mistakes. You won’t learn how to do things by yourself. You will depend on another person, when you have to depend on no one but yourself. You have to be honorable because there are only so many moments in life that are precious and worthwhile. You have to cherish them and give thanks for those moments that made you feel alive. You have to do what is right because you show other people that you are a good person and you are capable of doing more than they think. You are not only proving other people but yourself. You are showing yourself that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. You can do almost anything , if you believe the impossible is possible.

Student Success Statement: W. Clement Stone

“These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no
2. Have the courage to face the truth
3. Do the right thing because it is right “- W. Clement Stone

I agree with Clement Stone. You have to be courageous to be someone in this world. You have to stand up for yourself no matter the circumstances. You have to be willing to give up things along the way. It may be something that you love with all your heart but if you want to be someone in the world you may have to leave things behind along the way to be able to be who you want to be. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes along the way, what matters is that you learn from your mistakes. Be brave to be someone in the world that gains the people's respect. Stand up for yourself and don’t be dishonest with others or with yourself. Be brave enough to face the consequences if that is what you believe in. Say it loud, project your voice to be heard. Don’t stay quiet because later on you will regret it and ask yourself why didn’t i do it?

Student Success Statement: William Penn

“ Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.” -William Penn

I agree with William Penn, you can’t do something that is wrong and still feel happy after it. The right thing to do makes you feel more satisfied with yourself, it tells you that you did something right for once and doing that can help other people feel happy. You knowing that something is wrong and you still go for it, means you are not capable of having respect. You are not capable of having respect for yourself or any other person. It shows even less respect for the people that you love, it shows them that you have no respect for them and that you simply don’t care. You may think that since everyone is doing the wrong thing that it is okay for you to do it. Yet you have a decision to do the right thing even if other people may not agree with you. You have to stand up for yourself and other people, you have to put yourself first if it's about your health. You don’t want to do the wrong thing because it has consequences. Everything you do has consequences, that is why you have to think before you act.  

Student Success Statement: Mike Krzyzewski

" A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life."- "Coach K" Mike Krzyzewski

What the significance of this quote means is that you get the choice in who you want to be. You have to choose who you want to be as a person, and if you want to leave "a mark" in the world. For me "a mark" means that you want to be remembered by a lot of people. You want them to remember all the good things you did in life. You want to make a good thing out of your name, you want people to here your name and think of you as a good person. You can do many things in life, but that won't give you a place in the world that tells other people how kind, or brave you were. You can be brave and sky dive and do other daring things but that doesn't mean you are honored by many people. It doesn't mean that you were a good person and did a lot of amazing things. In order to leave a mark in this world you have to do something that benefits you and other people.

Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

" If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow." - Thomas S. Monson 

What this quotes significance means to stand up for yourself and for others. It doesn't matter if you do it alone, what matters is what you did, if you prevented it, or if you helped it occur. I agree with Thomas S. Monson, it is true that many people are cruel, there are so many people in the world that are bad. We don't know what kind of people the world holds until we see for ourselves. We have to be aware that there are a little bit of people that are good and kind. We may or may not know who these people are, but we know that they exist. You get to decide in the world who you want to be. Which group would you want to be in? The pure and kind one or the evil and wrong one? You have to decide when the time is right, you will decide if you want to help or destroy the very own world you live in. We choose and we want to help and make people feel wanted. You help people and stand up with them and face the people that don't want to help, the ones that want to cause destruction to the world they live in.  

Student Success Statement: Noemi Trigueros

" A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself." - Noemi Trigueros

What this quotes significance is to tell us that as long as we always do the right thing we will be a good person. If we are willing to give up something you want so bad to help another person, you will feel good. You have to be willing to give up anything and take the risks to be a good person. Being a kind person not only shows other people who you are, but it shows yourself who you are as a person. It shows yourself what you are capable of doing for another person, you help and take risks and you put yourself out there. You show yourself that you can do so much more than you think you can. As you realize this you as a person get to understand that you can be kind. Its like when you get in your comfort zone with your friends after a while. You feel more relaxed and you express yourself more than you did before. You do things that make you happy and show who you are, and that is the same thing as being a kind person. You expand your limits to really test, and challenge yourself because that is what you want for your life. You want to improve yourself along the way and never hold back from doing something that makes you happy. You do it because it makes you feel happy and not because you want something in return.
 

Student Success Statement : James E. Faust

" When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."-James E. Faust

What this quote means is that no matter what mistakes we make, small or big, there is always a chance to fix it. There is a chance always given for you, but you are the one who gets to choose your decision. You have to choose between the two choices you are given. If you make obedience your goal, you have to follow it, because that is the only goal you really have to depend on. You depend on this goal to help you through your life. As your knowledge grows you want to challenge it, to make it stronger. That is what you have to do with your life. You have to challenge yourself and do things that you are not expecting to do. You have to part with things along the way, and listen to yourself when you say something is wrong. If you know something is wrong, you know you have to stay away from it. If you know something id good for you but you don't want to do it, you get to make the choice, but you will have to face the consequences that come after your actions. You will have to face the world alone one day, and then you realize that you should have chosen the right one. The one you knew was best for you, and you still didn't choose it because you were thinking about the fun you will have or about yourself in that moment, and not the future.

Student Success Statement: Spencer W. Kimball

" We learn to do by doing" - Spencer W. Kimball

What this quote means to me is you have to be willing to try new things. You have to be willing to try new things and be conflicting about it. If it turns out wrong you have to think to yourself what did i do wrong? What can i do next time to make it better?  You have to think of all the possibilities are and what they can be. You have to try new things and put yourself out there for the world. To show people and yourself that you are capable of doing more things that you think you can do. You have to be brave and experiment, to see how things turn out. If you don't try new things, you will never know what was to come after it, and later in the future you would ask yourself What do i regret more, doing it, or not doing it? You have to believe in yourself and do what you think is best. You have to do what you believe in to get better at doing it, you do it so that you can improve.

Student Success Statement

"Mornings are the best part of the day, it is the time you get to choose who your going to be"-Andrea Barajas

What this quote means to me is mornings are the best time of day. They are the perfect time to choose or decide who you will be today.Give you the choice to be who you want to be, if you want to be a good person or bad person. They give you time to reflect on who your going to be and why. It gives you the opportunity to be someone different and someone helpful. If you decide to be a good and caring person you can. If you want to be a person who simply does not care about anything, you can be that person but you as a person have to face the consequences alone. The whole meaning of this quote id to tell you you can be anyone or anything you want to be, it is your choice and no one is going to stop you or prevent you from doing it, but no one is going to help you as well. You will face the world as it is on your own. Even if you think someone will help you, you will face it alone because no one in this world will truly be there all the time you need them, you have to learn to face the problems on your own. 

Student Success Statement: David Bednar

" Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."- David Bednar

What i think the significance of  this quote is to always be aware of what you do. It is very common we as people make many mistakes, but no matter how many mistakes we make we can learn from all of them. Even though you make a mistake and you think there is no way to fix it after its done, there is always a way. There is always something, there is never nothing. Us as people are sometimes tempted to do the wrong thing because you want something or your lazy, but we also know that there are consequences at the end. We do things and sometimes we don't think of the consequences after the action is made. We think it is right at first but after a while we know it is wrong. We know it is wrong and we don't do anything about it because they might be scared, or they simply don't care of think they might get away with it, but we don't.

Student Success Statement- Alex Linares

" Choosing the right is always the right thing to do." - Alex Linares
The significance of this quote is to tell us something. This quote is telling us that no matter how much you want to do something, and it is something wrong, you don't do it. You want to do the right thing and life will be easier. If you don the right thing, your life will be so much easier. It will make your decisions easier to choose from. For example if you want to talk to someone because you are bored and you know it is the wrong thing to do, you don't do it. If you do it, think of the consequences, the negative consequences that come after your action. You know it is the wrong thing to do but you persuaded to do it, so you do it. You think it is right at first but then after your action there is always a consequence. It is always better to do the right thing. Once you do a right thing you feel good about yourself. You feel good because you didn't give up.

students Success Statement: Pathros

" true wealth is of the heart, not of the purse." - Pathros







What I think of this quote is it is trying to say that no matter how wealthy you are or how much money you have, you will have a poor heart. Not everyone necessarily that is wealthy has a poor heart, but the majority of people that own lots of money don't care about others. They only think about themselves, all they think about is how much they spent and how they will make more money. They think about what is best for them, and not for other people around them. They don't think about the community, or the well being of others. Now if you have a great personality and you do great choices, and you think about others and put them first, you have a great heart. If you have a great attitude and never think on the negative side, you have a wealthy heart. You have a wealthy heart because you think of others and never make others feel any less of themselves.
