Student Success Statement: Thomas Carlyle

“ A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”-Thomas Carlyle

The significance of this quote is that you will not achieve anything unless you know what you want to achieve. You can’t advance in life unless you know what you want. It is like you wanting to go somewhere but you don’t know where you want to go. You have to be set to go somewhere in life. You can’t just walk or move, I mean you could but there would be no point. There is no point in life unless you actually know where you want to go. I feel as if you're just waking up in the morning to another day, but there is no point in living. You have to have your headset to go somewhere. That would be the start, then you would actually have to move forward. And when you get there, you would know that you achieved something.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day I went shopping with my sister. I also went to the park with my little brother, while he was playing basketball, I read a book. Most of the day on Saturday I was  reading, writing and  watching Netflix. I was reading Pride and Prejudice. I watched various movies with my sister while she was hogging all the popcorn.  I also went to this small ice cream shop after the park, i would like to say that i liked the ice cream but i didn’t eat. I went to the mall with my sister because she was looking for a dress. She’s graduating pretty soon and she needed my advice.  On Sunday I went to church and then went back home. On Monday i spent my day writing while listening to music. I also spent Monday planning my friend's birthday, which is actually next Monday. I went for a walk to let stress out. While I went walking I saw a cute little puppy. The puppy followed me home, and I fed it. But after a while it left.

Student Success Statement: Alan Paton

“ When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”- Alan Paton

The significance of the quote is pretty clear to me. Some may not understand it, but i do. It talks about forgiving someone for the mistakes they do. We all get hurt in some point of our lives, and I admit, it feels like if the pain will never go away. It feels like a hole in your chest, gnawing away at your soul. You break down, and its okay to break down. I've learned from experience that when you keep those emotions inside, the feelings combine and come out in a stronger effect. You feel trapped inside, you ask yourself why it happened to you. But like i said it passes, and we heal. We must learn to forgive, we can’t keep feeling anger and hate inside of us. Its unhealthy for us, and sometimes we think that we have a right to feel hate, but you don’t. Because one day you will be old and you have not forgiven, it will still be inside you, haunting you.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died protecting and serving in the country's armed forces. It is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag in every grave in national cemeteries. On Memorial Day the United States flag is raised to the top of the staff and then lowered to the half-staff position, which remains until noon. It is then raised to full staff for the remainder of the day. Some things that I will do to respect this day is pray for those who are in grieving, give thanks to the people that have served our country.

I think memorial day is a very special day all across the world. It is the day that we give thanks to those who have served and provided for our country. We also thank and celebrate for the one’s that have made it back. We grieve the loss that others and ourselves are going through. Some people don’t know how to cope with this because it is hard to lose someone you love. I’m not saying that you will forget about them, but your heart will mend, and you will be fine soon. We need to move on because that is how life is. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the people that have died for us. We should respect and honor the people that have done so much for us and the country.  

Student Success Statement: Rex D. Pinegar

“ Dare to do right.”-Rex D. Pinegar

The significance of this quote is to do the right thing at all times. To do the right thing every second of every day. No matter how bad the situation is, you have to make the right choice. Not only for other people but for you as well. You want to be brave, and show kindness. There is never a need to be cruel or rude. Be the mature person and do what’s right. The only way to solve something is to make the right choice. Nothing good comes out of making the wrong choice. There are consequences that come with making the wrong choice, but there is never something good that you get out of it. When you make the right choice you feel good, but when you do bad you feel horrendous.
