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: Mark Twain

“ Honesty is the best policy.” - Mark Twain

I agree with Mark Twain when he says that honesty is the best policy. The best you can do to earn respect or make life easier is by being honest. Honesty gives you a good feeling and it makes you seem as a good person. It makes you seem like if you are a person worth someone’s respect. You have to be honest when the time comes to be honest, don’t be scared or doubt yourself. Be honest and you’ll feel better, it will make your life easier. Don’t be scared because you think you might get into trouble. It doesn’t matter if you get into trouble, what matters is that you are honest to yourself and others. Honesty makes you a better person and makes you realize your mistakes or the good things you have done. Honesty proves you are responsible for yourself and your things. It shows everyone that you are capable of doing many things.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, in which we honor  military veterans . Military veterans are are people who served in the United States Armed Forces. It is important to honor veterans day because we are showing our gratefulness for the people that have risked their lives to protect this country. We show gratefulness for the people who have sacrificed themselves without knowing if they may or may not come back. There are several ways to show respect on Veterans Day like saying “ thank you “. It is such a small gesture but they do appreciate it. You can also place flags or flowers on a veterans grave, or proudly display your American Flag, display a yellow ribbon on your clothes, or even take a moment of silence to honor those who have lost their lives to protect our freedom.

Reflection: I feel very grateful for those who have given up their lives and risked them to protect our freedom. It is really hard to imagine all those people that have past away and know that they died protecting our freedom. They died knowing that they might not return to their families, and they don’t know when they will come back.

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: Proverbs 13:20

“ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” - Proverbs 13:20

I agree what this quote says. It is telling us in a way that if you are wise and you are with wise men because you want to do the right thing, you are a wise person. If you are hanging out with a person that is always doing something wrong, you are a bad person. You have to be willing to have your eyes open and be aware of what you are doing. You have to realize the difference between right and wrong. If you think that they are the same or wrong is better, well you are wrong. There is no way that you can do something wrong and feel happy about it after, or have a positive outcome after your action. You have to think before you act because you may never know what will come of the action. The outcome will come out negative if you are doing something something wrong. If it is something positive then you don’t have to worry about the outcome. All you have to worry is about is if you are doing the right or wrong thing.

Gainsville Tornadoes Reflection

I think that it was very generous for that the opposing team told the fans to cheer for the other team. It was really generous, considering that no one was cheering for their team. They wanted the other team to feel motivated, and these two boys made that happen. It was very thoughtful of them to ask their own fans to cheer for the other team so that the other team can feel motivated. The other team was very happy to here that almost everyone was cheering for them. They were thankful because of the two boys that helped them feel motivated. They said that it was something that they will never forget because it was something unexpected.

Student Success Statement: William Penn

“ The best recreation is to do good.”-William Penn

I agree with William Penn, the best thing you can do is do good. There are many ways that you can do that show kindness or doing the right thing. You can say something or do it physically or socially. You can do things that show how good you are in many ways, but the important thing is to do it. The best thing you can do is show goodness or kindness to someone. Either if it is someone you do or don’t know. It can be a person you don’t know but the important thing to do is make the person feel happy. Be generous to people if you want to do something for a change and you want people to see you with respect. The least you can do is say thank you, if someone is generous to you, say something. Don’t just look at them say something that can make them feel happy. It doesn’t have to be something big. It can be something small, it doesn’t necessarily have to be something big and exaggerated.
