Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I think that this quote means that when someone does not have a dream it’s when you don’t know where you’re going there is nothing that is leading you into a direction like if a ship didn’t have a rudder and also we wouldn’t have any purpose to go anywhere if we didn’t have a dream. Also it when you need to create a goal in order to go in a direction and to succeed and live life. If you don't then it just creates no excitement in your life.

Character Counts

“The Six Pillars of Character”

The six pillars of character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

 Trustworthiness is the character where someone is able to trust you with anything. An example is if they let you borrow a book and then you have to take care of it because they trust you and if you bring it back with pages ripped out they won’t be able to trust you.

 Respect is a big characteristic because you need to be respectful of other people and their religion/beliefs, of their items, and them in general.

Responsibility is probably the most serious one. You need to be responsible, and it also involves trustworthiness like with the book you are responsible for that book because the person that let you borrow it trusts you.

 Fairness has multiple situations when it is different because you have to come down to an important decision. For example, let’s say you have two cousins Daniel and John who are fighting over some candy now Daniel had already eaten some candy and now wants the rest but with John he didn’t have any candy so then you come to a choice where John gets the candy because it is only   fair.

When you care for someone you need to also be nurturing for what you care for. For example, you care about your parents you can’t be mean to them but then again you care for them you need to also be nice.

If you have citizenship in a country, you have the right to live there, work, vote, and pay taxes and you need to apply yourself to that.

“I would prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

Reflection: This quote by Sophocles means that he would prefer to lose or fail with big honor than to win by cheating in any kind of way. Also, I think that an example of this is to lose in a basketball game trying and with honor then to use steroids and to beat the other team but with cheating and you have to carry all that guilt for the rest of your life to remember that day that you have cheated and won by lying to yourself and to a lot of other people.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is the days that reminds us and to remember those who died serving our country. Memorial Day is on May 25. Ways to honor the fallen veterans is to go to the cemetery where the fallen hav been buried or their memorial to show respect. Also, for me because I know a friend who served and a little bit of his companions have fallen so I think I’ll spend my day with him to honor his friends who have fallen in combat.

“Nothing is gained in doing what’s wrong”

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection: This quote by Wilford means that when you do something wrong you do not accomplish anything and you do not gain anything, but when you do something right you will gain something really good. An example is that if you cheat on a test for a moment you will gain a good grade but after the teacher finds out you will lose that gain and you have only gained detention and consequences. Now if you do not cheat and you studied you will have gained a good grade and rewards when you let your parents know.

The Nicest man in the World

This is an incredible story because a man Patrick Morgan that woks at the airport finds an iPad with $13,000 and he didn’t keep the money or keep the IPad he did the right thing and turned it in to find the owner and as a “reward” the owner gave him $60 out of $13,000 but he didn’t keep his reward instead he gave some to a homeless woman and a fellow worker at the airport. Also his good duty was recognized and his boss gave him a check for $625 and a certificate for being honest. He got a little reward and gave it to people who need it and then he got a bigger reward. The lesson is to be honest and you will get a big reward whether right there on that moment or later in the future.

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Reflection: I think that this quote by this Dr. means that when we choose the right and make the right choices we get many rewards for doing it whether its money, food, or anything but she says that the most important reward and the reward you mostly get is an internal phenomenon which is you get self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem. Also, you feel good.0 When you do something good you always and should feel good that you helped someone or a lot of people, but when you do something bad you might feel good at the moment but then later on you will feel really bad.

Video Reflection

I think that this real life story was amazing because I think that it was very hard for both Renee and Eric. What happened was Eric had killed Renee’s daughter Megan and her friend Lisa in a car accident which was really bad. As pain full and hard it was for both Eric and Renee, Renee decided to forgive Eric for what he had done. Also I think that it shows that she is a good person and Eric should be thanking her for that. Now Renee and Eric go to schools everywhere to tell kids that drinking and driving is really bad and can affect you and other people so much.

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

Alan Paton

Reflection: What this quote by Alan Paton means is that when someone does something really bad to us then we can only do one thing that will heal us and set us free from that grudge and it is to forgive. Forgiveness is the only way to freedom. An example is when a friend pressures his other friend to take out their phone so they can look at an inappropriate website and he listens because he said the teacher won’t see. Next thing you know the teacher saw and took away the phone and saw what they were doing. The boy got it back the next Friday but was really mad at his friend because he trusted him. The friend said I am sorry can you forgive me? And the friend said yes.

Student Success Statement

“I dare you to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I think that this quote by Thomas S. Monson means that we shouldn’t follow the whole crowd at school or in public we should stand alone if they are doing the wrong thing like rioting or burning down houses or even doing drugs we should not follow them into temptation. We should do our own thing that is right.

Tour: http://undergrad.biola.edu/tour/

Reflection: I would like to go to this University because it is a really good one in this environment because it is a Christian university and I am Christian. I have been there for a conference for young adults and I really did enjoy it I got to see the dorms, lunch areas and different buildings but I also got to learn more about God which is important. Also when I went there were many applications and it is very easy to get in I just need to get the right grades and the right requirements. This is a university that I have been inspired to go to and it is one of life planning goals to go to this university and I will right victory next to that goal.
